Although her reason told Lanshan that she couldn't completely believe Ming Manzhen's words, she felt in her heart that these should be true. "Then... was Duke Vincent present at that time?"

Ming Manzhen shook his head: "How could he be here? If he had been there at that time, how could my father... allow him to live until now? He would have been killed long ago..."

Although the old man loves his only daughter, his temper is so stubborn that he would kill his own grandson with his own hands, let alone the bastard who deceived his daughter.

If he had known that the culprit was Duke Vincent, he would have sent someone to kill him even if he was in London, England.

"Then where was he at that time?" Since he wanted the map so much, why didn't he wait for Ming Manzhen at the dock?[

Ming Manzhen took out a slender women's cigarette from her bag, lit it, and took a long puff. Because she smoked a bit too hard, she choked, coughed a few times, and took a while to calm down before she could speak.

"He... is in Shanghai. Maybe... he is also afraid that if I am really caught by my father, if he is there, I will definitely die, so he went to Shanghai in advance."

"What happened next... did the old man let you go?"

Lanshan was more interested in knowing what happened next. She had learned most of it from Ming Ye's mouth.

Ming Manzhen holds a cigarette between her slender white fingers. If you look closely, you can see that the nail on her index finger is slightly yellowed. It is obvious that she has smoked frequently over the years.

Her expression was dull and desolate, "Later... Later, my father directly said that he had never given birth to me in this life, and the Ming family no longer has such a daughter. I... have nothing to do with the Ming family anymore, and I can never step in again in eternity."

Take a step into city A..."

After speaking, Ming Manzhen reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes, but found that her eyes were so dry that she couldn't shed tears.

"I just felt sad at the time, but... I was still a little bit happy in my heart, because... I could finally be with Carroll, and we could stay together forever.

After my father left, I got on the boat directly to Shanghai. When I arrived in Shanghai, I went directly to the airport and took a plane with Carroll to London. I have been there for thirty years..."

For the first time, Ming Manzhen confided to others what she had done in the first half of her life. In addition to being sad and disappointed... she could no longer find any sweet feeling.
