I Shall Master This Family's

Chapter 91

I'm appalled.

I stared blankly at the necklace of Maria Patron hanging from her neck.

Why is Shananet's necklace hanging there?

It made no sense and I panicked.

"Why is the necklace..."

In my murmur, Maria Patron touched her necklace with her fingertips.

Maybe he misunderstood my gaze, and he had a superior smile around his mouth.

"It's a beautiful necklace, isn't it? I was praised by other women for having good eyes today."

"...It's a beautiful necklace."

The women looked at Maria Patron with slight annoyance but still admitted that the necklace was a pretty good item.

It was the property of Lombardy's mistress, and now Shananet was the owner, so it wasn't just a simple necklace.

Still, it was a necklace of quite good quality for ordinary nobles.

That was even more than enough for a woman like Maria Patron.

"Where did you get that necklace?"

I immediately held my hand and held it, and I tried to resist yelling at him to give the necklace.

Because of that, my voice shook to pieces.

"Oh, this necklace is not something you can just pay for."

Maria Patron said, quietly covering it with her hands as if I was greedy for her belongings.

The other noble lady next to him checked.

"Is that a person of value to Lady Patron who gave it to you as a gift?"

"Yes, it was my birthday not too long ago."

I doubt my ears.

What did I just hear?

Who gave you that necklace?

"So, Lady Patron's girlfriend gave you that necklace?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Maddened.

Vestian bastards.

Even a cannibal who lived in the forest would turn around spitting sputum because he would be sick if he ate something so dirty like Vestian.

He stole the belongings of his wife's mother and gave them to her lover?

How rotten could a man do such a thing?

"This is a very special thing that has been passed down to his family for generations."

And now he says that the legacy of the Lombardy Nyonga turned into the heirloom of the Schultz family.

I was so angry that I became dizzy.

Seeing Maria Patron using it, she didn't seem to know what the necklace was.

If only he knew it was Shananet's necklace.

And she wouldn't have acted like this if she knew it was my grandmother's necklace.

No matter how stupid and careless he was, he would not walk in front of me wearing that necklace and introduce it.

So Vestian lied to Maria Patron about the necklace's origin.

Then Maria Patron spoke in a timid voice.

"Although we have a lot of time apart for a reason. He was the one who made me feel loved for giving such a special gift."

What nonsense is that!

you should be speaking correctly.

The real situation is that Vestian, a married man with two children, this is not love, but infidelity.

And Maria Patron thought I didn't know about their affair, so she told it freely.

He stole Lombardy's money, in front of Shananet's nephew.

In front of me, Florentia Lombardy.

Good.

Vestian is not the only one to be punished.

I thought for a moment about how to deal with that brash woman.

When a plan came up, my head, which was filled with anger, became calm.

It just so happens that today is the perfect day.

I took a glass of fruit juice and poured it over Maria Patron's clothes.

I'm not even pretending to make a mistake.

"Jeez, what are you ..."

Confused, Maria Patron took her own juice-stained dress and tried to argue with me.

I gave him a big smile.

"Ah, my fault."

And I made an offer to Maria Patron that she would never refuse.

"Your clothes got dirty because of my mistake, so I'll compensate you."

"You know how much these clothes cost ..."

"Premium dress at Gallahan Clothing Store."

Maria Patron's mouth, filled with grievances, was closed.

"I'll make it up to you. Let's go to Gallahan's Clothing Store."

"All right then..."

I got up from my seat first.

The woman next to him asked.

"Can we come?"

I replied with a nod.

"Yes, please."

The more the audience the better.

"Huh? Are you asking for 8,000 gold, now?"

Vestian's startled voice roared in Pellet's office.

But Clerivan's voice in response was calm.

"I knew you'd ask for some money in exchange for mine rights. But that, 8,000 gold?."

For a very large amount, Vestian gulped.

"Isn't that too greedy?"

At Vestian's reprimand, Clerivan laughed in vain.

Who wants to steal someone else's stuff first?

He should be told that he is too greedy.

However, Clerivan remained calm, given what Florentia ordered.

"It's top-secret. Pellet's not really my company."

"Then, then..."

"But do you have the money to build a business like this and try to buy a mine? and plus, this business is invested by a lot of people."

Clerivan said deftly.

In fact, the sole investor and owner of Pellet is Florentia.

"They said that if I was going to transfer the rights to mine, I should receive that much price."

"Well, when is the due date ..."

"You have to give it to me today."

"No, that doesn't make sense! How can I get that kind of money today!"

Vestian exploded in anger, but Clerivan only shrugged once.

"We have decided to choose one day of the year for investors to come together. They are all busy people. And that's tonight."

"Although that's true, how can I make so much money today?"

Vestian complained.

He was very envious of the diamond mining rights.

In addition, he wanted to divorce Shananet Lombardy as soon as possible and gain freedom.

That was why he wanted to obtain the Pellet mining rights.

8,000 gold was almost equal to the amount of money he took from Lombardy.

But that kind of money can't just show up in cash right now.

Clerivan spoke with sweet words to Vestian, who was unable to think of the right move no matter how hard he tried.

"What if I take out a loan?"

"Loans?"

"Is it not possible in a Lombardy bank with the trust of the Vestian? you're Lulak Lombardy's son-in-law."

Clerivan's right.

The Lombardy Bank would lend him some money.

"You should make a loan first and pay off the loan gradually."

Clerivan's calm voice lures Vestian with the idea that the best way is to get a loan in an instant.

To Vestian, Clerivan spoke in a quieter voice.

"If you take the mining rights and start taking a portion of the diamond profits, it will be a quick payment."

"...That's right."

"If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait a year."

Vestian bit her lower lip in nervousness.

And after a while.

As already determined, Vestian rose from his seat.

"I'm going to the bank. Don't go anywhere and wait."

Vestian rush.

Fortunately, there is a Lombardy bank not far from it.

Running there in a hurry, Vestian rushed over to the branch manager.

The branch manager, who already knew him, responded in a friendly and bewildered manner to Vestian's sudden visit.

"If you tell us in advance, we will visit the mining company! What brings you here, Sir Vestian?"

"I'm here to get a loan. I need about 8,000 gold, is that possible?"

"8000 gold ..."

The branch manager looked at Vestian for a moment and nodded.

"Then it will be credit. Are you okay?"

"I don't care, so please write 8,000 gold in the draft."

A smile spread in Vestian's mouth

It's very convenient to be Lombardy's daughter-in-law at times like these!

Vestian, who hastily signed and filled out the papers, quickly returned to Pellet with the bill he had received.

Fortunately, Clerivan was still sitting there.

"Here we go. That's enough, right?"

Clerivan, who was deeply moved by the bill placed on the table, nodded slowly and said.

"Yes, I'm going to give this money to investors."

Clerivan smiled

The Gallahan Clothing Store branch in the Capital is huge and colorful.

Maria Patron and the other noble ladies, who were treated well by the staff of the clothing store thanks to me, were proud.

Maria Patron walked around briefly in front of the hanger in a premium dress before choosing her.

"i love this dress."

It was one of the most expensive dresses in the premium category as it had a small emerald along the breast line of the dress.

Just for information, the dress worn by Maria Patron some time ago is affordable.

But I nodded my head with pleasure.

"Hmm? Isn't that Tia?"

That's because I knew this was gonna happen.

I turned around slowly.

"What's Tia doing here?"

Just in time, my grandfather and father, who entered the Capital branch of the Gallahan Clothing Store, approached me in surprise.
