Spoiler: The Returning Lady [Part 1](1/3)
2017, Paris, France, spring.
This is the most romantic and wonderful metropolis in the world, bar none.
This is especially true for France, where the street buildings exude a romantic artistic atmosphere, the flowers are eternally fragrant, and the fragrance (perfume) products are the most famous. Moreover, the men here have an innate gentlemanly demeanor and etiquette, which is common to almost all girls.
Dream.
Of course, no matter how romantic a country is, there are complex social classes, including nobles, prominent business families, and companies that dominate most of the country's economy——
The Louis family is a French aristocrat with a history of hundreds of years. Its family business, the Louisti Group, is a leading global luxury brand. In recent years, its perfume products have become popular all over the world. Such a wealthy aristocrat is the ideal choice for unmarried ladies.
The dream palace you look up to. However, since ancient times, the family has great business and internal struggles. After the death of the old marquis, the previous head of the Louis family, his eldest son, Huangfu Will• Louis, inherited the noble title, the position of head of the family, and Louis.
As the president of Siti Group, this king-like man shoulders almost all the important responsibilities!
But he is not the only outstanding man in the Louis family. If Will was once the Prince Charming that girls all yearned for, then his younger brother James was undoubtedly a wild and unrestrained dark horse:
Publicity, danger, suspicion, and conspiracy are like beasts lurking in the darkness, gnashing their teeth and claws, always keeping an eye on the position of the head of the family, and one or two failures cannot affect him at all.
As long as Huangfu Weir showed any flaws, he would be ready to pounce on him and try to pull him down!
Almost all of France knew that the eldest son of the great nobleman Louis, Prince Will, was the head of the family, but there was also his second son James who was always fighting against him to compete for the head of the family.
Therefore, whether Prince Charming or Prince Dark Horse, there will always be a side that girls can’t imagine...
Half a year after Yu Huangfu Weir's wedding, the Lewis family ushered in another internal fight.
That night was a rainy night, and through the rain and fog, the century-old Gothic castle of Louis' family was like a masterpiece of God, majestic, dreamy, and poetic.
In the distance, dozens of cars were slowly approaching in the rain and fog...
In the ancient castle, the wrought iron candlesticks were lit, shining brightly on the surrounding luxurious antique furniture. Family members from different clans gathered together, with majestic and white-haired family elders on the throne.
Everyone looked at the two brothers Huangfu Will and James.
Huangfu Will sat on the head of the family's seat in the middle, folding his arms, "James, I know you try to expose my evil deeds every once in a while, so what evidence did you find this time?" He shrugged,
The handsome face of the mixed-race beauty expresses calmness.
Under the European retro candle chandelier, a man with a slender body, wearing sexy and tight black leather pants and a black jacket, was in the middle of the vast hall.
He has the most popular short black curly hair, a sharp nose, and a sharp face.
Unlike Huangfu Weir, who is handsome and heroic, he is a handsome man with an evil aura...
"My dear brother, you really understand me!" He smiled crookedly in front of everyone, "Because I feel that I am more suitable to be the head of the family, so I will always keep an eye on you. If I think that my father has passed away, you sit down
If you win just by getting into that position, that would be a big mistake!"
"Yes." Huangfu Will nodded and looked at him calmly, "Of course I understand that you are very smart and capable, and I will always remind myself. But I am very busy, and you have something to say in front of everyone.
Let’s talk as soon as possible, okay?”
The crowd present was full of nobility. The Lewis family, even if they are a side branch, is either rich or noble, and they are the best among people!
All eyes turned back to James.
There was an elder couple sitting in the upper seat. The male elder spoke seriously, "Will is right. We all took the time to gather here. James, you can't joke."
"Busy?" James's eyes were half-squinted, and he took two unsteady steps towards Huangfu Will, looking evil and arrogant. "My brother used to be very leisurely. He left the company and went to China for a half-year vacation. When he came back, he brought
This woman...oh, is now my sister-in-law.
Could it be that my brother put down his official duties to pick up girls?"
There were already some whispers in the room. The wedding of Huangfu Will and Ian An was too grand, which shocked the whole of France and the whole of Europe. Now the whole world knows that the Marchioness Louis is an Asian woman.
But their past has never been exposed.
Others were not surprised by Huangfu Weir's previous love affairs because he was also famous for being serious about his work, so no one dared to have an opinion.
As soon as James revealed it, everyone started talking.
Dongfang Nan, who was next to Huangfu Weir, couldn't help but shed a drop of sweat. He coughed lightly, "Well, I can testify that he did not delay his official duties. I was also in China when he met Yi An'an. The two hit it off and hit it off because
Miss Ianian joined Luisty and she wanted to research a new type of perfume. Therefore, for the sake of the company, Will accompanied her to explore and it took a while..."
Miss An An, please forgive me for being panicked, I am also doing it for your husband's reputation. Dongfang Nan thought to himself.
Huangfu Weir smiled calmly, as if this was the truth.
Discussion started again below...
James tilted his head evilly and looked at Dongfang Nan, "This is our family meeting. May I ask...in what name are you sitting here? Shouldn't you retreat wisely?"
Dongfang Nan swallowed and gave Huangfu Weir a look: I can't help you anymore, so take care of yourself!
"No, no need." Huangfu Weir said calmly, "This is not a meeting related to family interests, it is just a discussion meeting, your accusation meeting. Mr. Dongfang is a good friend of mine, so he can stay in the meeting in the name of a witness.
James, do you still have any opinions?"
James raised his eyebrows, and after a moment, he nodded as a compromise.
"So, the fact that I had a half-year vacation and then met your sister-in-law is your topic this time?"
"Of course not, I'm not interested in your romantic past."
"So, let's continue?" Huangfu Will made a gesture of invitation.
James raised the corner of his mouth, turned around lazily, and suddenly asked the person behind him very suspiciously, "I just want to know...where is my sister-in-law? It has been three months since you got married, and she has been missing for more than half a year.
There’s no news either, isn’t it too weird for a housewife to go missing?”
After he finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere gradually became quiet, and everyone could hear something was wrong in his words.
One of the elders in the audience said, "Will has already stated that An An is not feeling well and is recuperating overseas. James, do you doubt Will's words by saying this?"
Huangfu Will slowly leaned on the back and crossed his hands, as if he knew what James wanted to make a fuss about.
Dongfang Nan also realized it and glanced at him, but the other person's expression was stern and he didn't speak...
Ahead, James seemed to have understood everything, and turned to the elder, "Uncle Ryan, it's just my brother's unilateral statement that my sister-in-law is recuperating in another place. Of course I don't believe it. I think my brother is hiding something very serious from us."
The elder looked at Huangfu Weir and saw that the other party did not explain for a while, so he couldn't help but become suspicious.
"James, go down."
"Okay, Uncle Ryan." He bowed politely to his elders, turned around, and looked around at the family members sitting around the lobby unhurriedly, "As you all know, there is a prerequisite for the head of the family to inherit the title, and that is
You must be married, and the marriage partner must be approved by the previous head of the family. At that time, my father was seriously ill. I think my brother was just to prevent me from being anxious, so he randomly married a woman, and then when everything was settled, that woman had nothing to do with him, so
I think the so-called 'sister-in-law' is also fake, right? Right, brother?"
Huangfu Weir's eyes turned cold and he stared at his younger brother who regarded him as his enemy for a long time. "You'd better be more respectful. I'm the head of the family. If you go too far, I have the right to deal with you."
"Okay, brother, before you deal with me, please argue for yourself!" James shrugged. He looked at the tribesmen around him who were starting to become suspicious, with a look of pleasure and a look of futility.
Of course, it wouldn't be him who would take into account the punishment...
Huangfu Weijun's face darkened, and it could be seen from his heavy breathing that he was a little angry.
Although the two elders are not the heads of the family, they have the power of advisors to the entire family. They lowered their heads to discuss and then asked the emperor Will, "Will, please answer the questions raised by James. We need real answers."
"Of course not, uncles." He said immediately, "An'an is indeed recuperating abroad, and we love each other very much."
"Then, can you tell me about that 'sister-in-law'..." James pressed the word tightly, as if the name was already unjust, "Where is she recuperating? She is the mistress of the Lewis family. She is not feeling well, so we should
visit."
The two elders nodded and looked at Huangfu Will again.
But Huangfu Will immediately postponed, "Sorry, I can't tell you where she is, she needs to be quiet."
"Then, get 'sister-in-law' on the phone and let us hear her voice?"
"This is no longer necessary."
Huangfu Weir raised his lips disdainfully, but after understanding the other party's intention, he became calm.
The diamond-polished men's watch on his wrist was ticking step by step. He looked at the time, and the mirror of the watch reflected his beautiful purple eyes. He thought of the spring when he first met Yi An'an, when he met her in Yi's garden.
when……
After that, a lot of things really happened.
"Okay." In the front, James opened his hands, stepped on the luxurious black gold-trimmed carpet and looked around everyone, "Now you hear it? He definitely doesn't dare to let that woman come out. Because he has a guilty conscience."
"Will, if you don't explain, we will have someone investigate you." The two gray-bearded elders had already begun to speak harshly.
The eyes around him were also staring at him, especially some ladies, who were already whispering something.
Huangfu Will pursed his lips into a straight line and stared at James coldly, as if he was holding back something.
Dongfang Nan had no choice but to stand up and speak again, "Don't get excited, everyone. There must be a reason why Will refused to say it. You have to trust him. Miss Yi'an is from China's Yi family. With such a clear family background, what can you do?
Where are the doubtful ones?”
"Isn't this simple?" James chuckled, with a sense of mystery and disdain in his smile, "That can only mean that there is a cooperative relationship between them, and they have colluded with the Yi family to have a fake marriage. This is just like him.
It is no different for a woman to marry and deceive the entire Louis family."
After speaking, he put one hand on his chest and saluted the elder, "Two beloved uncles, maybe my brother's original intention was just to prevent me, but he did something to deceive us. This is unforgivable. Please be wise in your opinions.
Justice, let’s investigate this matter thoroughly!”
