Chapter 84
Shananet and Vestian's divorce in their previous lives was quite scandalous.
Especially since Lombardy's internal affairs had always been a good gossip, and plus divorce was not so common among the nobility.
But despite being a hot topic, no one knows the exact reason for their divorce.
Of course, rumors are rampant.
It was like a rumor that Vestian had another woman and Shananet knew where the woman lived, which led him to expel Vestian.
All sorts of rumors circulate where.
"Is this really a matter of infidelity ..."
Honestly, I don't think so.
Although Vestian Schultz was said to be handsome and had a pleasant appearance, that was all.
In fact the Schultz family was not treated well among the nobles.
No, their own existence is unclear.
I used to think he was a good guy, but right now I don't think like that anymore.
On the other hand, what about Shananet?
She's beautiful, graceful, and sweet.
She was the eldest daughter of Lombardy as well.
Before getting married, Shananet was in charge of all family affairs.
Some even said that he would be the next Lombardy matriarch
But somehow, after marriage Shananet started to humble and now she is really doing minimal things.
Act like someone who wants to be small and invisible.
His ability was wasted.
"Yes, something's wrong."
In retrospect, Shananet and Vestian's divorce is full of incoherent things.
"Why don't they argue?"
It is common for couples to fight for custody of their children, no matter what the problem is between them.
But Shananet didn't fight back.
Like someone who divorced because of his mistakes.
After handing over the twins and a large allowance to Vestian, he went to the rest house.
Malley is the resting house of Lombardy, which is located quite far away and takes more than three weeks by train.
Shananet locked himself in there.
It made a rumor in the community that the reason for their divorce must have been Shananet.
Shananet knew about the rumors but did not explain or give a proper reason.
There is nothing but silence.
Shortly thereafter, Vestian remarried a woman from Schultz's estate.
"It was as if he had been waiting."
Rouse suspiction
Perhaps it was because they came from the same land that they immediately loved each other.
"Hmmm……."
While daydreaming, Clerivan opened the office door and entered.
"You coming, Clerivan?"
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"You've been very busy lately. It's only natural that I wait"
With Diamond blasts throughout the empire, Clerivan actually ran to the point of fire on the soles of his feet. [1]
The requests from the nobles flowed profusely.
It would be nice to just take orders based on who comes first, is first served, but that's a stupid thing here.
The nobles who were determined to receive the Diamond early, finished it with money.
But I told Clerivan not to be bribed by the nobles.
we do not need to reduce the waiting period just to get a few more coins.
Of course, Clerivan did a very good job.
"Who are you today?"
"I'm on my way back from Pentwood, Wallen, and Lombardy."
"What's with grandpa ?"
“Yes, we are talking about Madam Shananet's necklace...”
There's a necklace that Shananet loves.
It was a memento of Natalia, Shananet's mother and my grandmother.
"It's a simple sapphire necklace, so Diamond will look good for her. Let's say you'll do it in a month or two."
“Yes, Miss Florentia”
I looked a little closer to Clerivan's nodding face.
"What's wrong?"
“You've been too busy lately so I thought you wouldn't look good. But now that I see you, doesn't kamj really look better?
"That's because I often go out to work. His business is going well and being very busy, so I have no choice but to be energetic."
Clerivan even showed me that his skin was much smoother than before.
It's really like milk and shiny like a hard-boiled egg that's been peeled.
Incredibly
"Ah, how is the banquet prepared?"
"walking smoothly. Most of the people I invited replied that they would attend."
“About guest list....”.
I don't know if it's true, but I'll do it anyway.
It's not a bad idea to check it out.
"Is it still possible to add?"
"Yes, if you think of the Second Prince, we can add security forces ..."
“No, not Perez”
"Then who…"
"Send an invitation to Patron street at Schultz estate. To a woman named Mary."
Maria Patron's.
The woman who remarried Vestian.
The successful Pellet shop banquet.
A new shop party, where only those on the list could enter by invitation, was enough to envy those who were absent.
It is also suitable for creating bonds between people who have successfully entered the banquet hall.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very friendly.
When everyone had gathered, Clerivan climbed onto the seat on the podium.
The nobles dressed in colorful clothes with neatly brushed hair looked at Clerivan, who showed her beautiful face.
"I'd like to thank you all here to celebrate the success of the Pellet Company."
His confident looking face looked glittering.
"With that gratitude, I prepared a small gift. Please bring your invitation to our Kariawan Pellets at the entrance before you leave this banquet. That's all."
Clerivan held up the Diamond necklace in his hand for everyone to see.
It was just a simple piece of gold rope and a small Diamond, but the gems that glittered under the light were like stars in the sky.
"I gave you all the necklaces as a gift."
Response immediately.
"Wow!"
"That's amazing!"
Cheers broke out among the nobles.
"We have prepared good food and good music, I hope you enjoy it to the fullest."
The banquet began in earnest after Clerivan finished greeting.
As Clerivan got off the podium, he was approached by the head of Ivan's family.
Clerivan is the beneficiary of Ivan's family jewelry store, Crowly, earning huge profits in return.
"Here we go, Mr. Clerivan!"
Ivan's family ruled over the nobles who were in the north.
He was a man of great physique and great charisma, but when Clerivan greeted him politely, he smiled and laughed.
"Clerivan! You said you only received a small portion of the fur I sent you this time. What's wrong with you? You can't waste some of it!"
"Thank you for taking care of such precious things."
"Haha, come! If you really need something later, don't hesitate to tell me!"
“I will do it, Mr. Ivan”
The next person was Lombardy.
Clerivan, who found Lulak and his family gathered on the balcony, approached first.
“You're coming, Lord”
"It's a party celebrating your business, and I can't miss it. I'm so proud of you, Clerivan. congratulations!"
Lulak also changed the way he treated Clerivan when he successfully led the Pellet Company after his resignation.
It was an act of respect as an entrepreneur, not as a subordinate.
"Congratulations."
Viese and Laurel just said a short sentence.
It was a rude gesture for someone who was invited to the banquet, but Clerivan did not bother him.
Although they tried hard to hide it, it could be seen that both of them were quite depressed.
“Congratulations, Mr. Clerivan”
Standing next to Lulak, Shananet said with a beautiful smile.
"I'm sorry for not recognizing such a talented person before."
The Lombardy family failed to get a chance to show their skills well, and Clerivan was at home playing. [2]
When Shananet sees him succeeding like a fish in water, Shananet feels sorry for him.
It would be nice if such a talented person was recognized early and assigned to a key position in Top Lombardy.
"I grew up with Lombardy's generosity since I was a child. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help."
Lulak smiled in satisfaction at the remark and patted Clerivan on the shoulder.
"But I'm glad you took that mine. I heard Angenas was greedy..."
“Fortunately, I can win the bid in no time.”
“Yes, it is indeed luck”
Lulak's disapproving gaze looked at Vestian.
Lulak clicked his tongue when he was not with the other Lombardy, then went to say hello and talk to various people.
"Dad"
Shananet saw his displeasure and a bitter expression was left on his face.
Although Vestian had already apologized, saying it was a mistake that he failed to win an offer at the Lira mine, Lulak's displeasure was not lost.
Next, Romassie's words got stuck in his head.
"It's weird that the merchants of Angenas weren't so surprised to see us."
Lombardy's entry into the auction was strictly confidential.
Lombardy had to maintain her iron monopoly no matter what.
So people who knew their participation in the auction could only be counted on one hand.
But Angelas was not surprised by their appearance.
Their bid was even higher than Lombardy's.
Vestian who was chatting amongst the nobles returned with a reddened face.
In one hand, he held a glass of alcohol.
"There's food and tables there. Let's go, Dad."
Lulak swallowed his disapproval of Vestian's audacity.
After all, she seemed to care for and love her daughter Shananet, so she pretended not to know her flaws.
"Please sit down and I'll get you a glass of this wine soon. How good it smells!"
Vestian continued to speak loudly as he jumped over the table.
He seems to enjoy the banquet more than the host, Clerivan.
"You should tell me the name of this wine later ..."
But Vestian's words were cut in the middle of the road.
He saw a woman from far away.
