However, this time, Duke Buckingham did not trust Farry as easily as before.
After a moment, he picked up his phone and called Farryâs parents.
After confirming that Farryâs parentsâ business was on the verge of bankruptcy, he put down his phone and looked at Farry with a pained expression. âWhen did you start working part-time?â
âItâs been a long time.â Farry lowered her head, her voice soft and weak. âIâm quite lucky. My temperament and looks are quite suitable to be a model.â
âI only went for an interview once, and a modeling company took a fancy to me.â
âThe workload isnât that heavy. I just need to spend two days a week trying on clothes and filming.â
Duke Buckingham nodded and asked a few more questions about her part-time job and living expenses.
Farry also answered fluently.
âIâll get the servant to send you a check later.â When Duke Buckingham heard this, his heart ached.
âYou can do some part-time work to train yourself, but donât torture yourself too much in life.â
âIn the future, if you want to buy anything or need money, just tell me.â
Farry looked very touched. âThank you, Granduncle.â
As she spoke, she looked at the gold bars in Duke Buckinghamâs hand with some guilt. âIâm really sorry about what happened before. Iâve disappointed you.â
Duke Buckingham, however, was already moved by compassion. He looked at her with a hint of pity and said, âJust remember this lesson in the future.â
Farry was about to nod again.
But Ye Feng sneered. âDuke Buckingham, Iâm afraid you will be disappointed.â
âShe wonât think that this is a lesson.â
âOn the contrary, she will only think that you are stupid.â
âVery easy to deceive.â
Duke Buckinghamâs expression immediately stiffened.
Isabella was a little unhappy, she immediately scolded Ye Feng. âHow can you speak to Duke Buckingham like that?!â
âFarry seems to have her difficulties and knows that she was wrong.â
ââ¦â
âIf you think so, then it means that youâre blind too.â Ye Feng interrupted.
Then, before Isabella could react, he pulled open the bedside table beside him, revealing an electric toy and a bunch of limited-edition accessories.
âOpen your eyes and take a good look.â
âWhatâs inside?â
âThese are more than 10 pieces of limited-edition jewelry from Cartier! Givenchyâs 50th-anniversary wallet, and Hermesâ crocodile skin handbag!â
Then, he opened another closet in Farryâs room. âAnd here!â
âThere are all kinds of top-notch dresses. There are more than 30 sets!â
âDo you think a person who has to work part-time to earn her living expenses can buy these things?â
When Isabella saw this scene, her eyes widened, and the words that she was about to say to Ye Feng stopped abruptly.
She stared blankly at the nightstand and wardrobe that Ye Feng had opened. She was stunned for a while before she said, âThese⦠Theyâre worth at least a million dollars, right?â
âMoreover, many of them seem to have been bought not long ago. She hasnât had the time to throw away the receipts and labels.â
Duke Buckingham was probably numb as well. His eyes were filled with disbelief and deep disappointment as he looked at Farry. âYou, you lied to me again?â
Ye Feng did not wait for Farryâs reply. He said, âTo be more precise, she has been lying to you from the beginning.â
âAbout Little William, about the 12 gold bars, about the source of the 7,000 dollars in her bank accountâ¦â
âAnd most importantly, about the exclusive Victoria Cross.â
âShe has been using her harmless appearance and your magnanimity to fool you.â
âI didnât.â Farry still wanted to deny it.
Ye Feng did not give her a chance to speak, he looked at her with an oppressive gaze. âThen let me ask you one last question, whatâs with the 7000 dollars in your bank card?â
âItâs, itâs my salary from my part-time job.â
âWhereâs the exclusive Victoria Cross? Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?â
âI do dare to say it! I can swear on the happiness of the rest of my life and the lives of my parents!â
âAlright, letâs stop here.â Ye Feng did not ask anymore. âLet me call a friend over, we can continue our conversation.â
As he spoke, he avoided Duke Buckingham, Farry, and the others and called John Bull directly.
When John Bull heard that he had to identify the customer who sold him the goods, he was initially unwilling.
After all, this was a violation of professional ethics.
Even if Ye Feng was Samiaâs boss, he could not do it.
But when he heard Ye Feng point out that the person he needed to identify had stolen Duke Buckinghamâs things, and Ye Feng wanted to seek justice for Duke Buckingham, he agreed to rush over.
When Ye Feng heard his reaction, he had a new understanding of Duke Buckinghamâs reputation.
After ending the call with John Bull, he returned to Farryâs bedroom unhurriedly.
âWhich friend did you call?â Farry was probably a little flustered now, so she asked when she saw him return.
Ye Feng could not be bothered by her, he only said to Duke Buckingham, âThereâs an old saying in China, that a person who has been away for three days should be treated differently.â
âYour Excellency, you watched Farry grow up to twelve years old.â
âBut you donât know what happened in the years after she turned twelve, and how much she changed.â
Pain and deep disappointment flashed in Duke Buckinghamâs eyes. âYouâre right.â
âI know nothing about her from the age of twelve to seventeen.â
âI shouldnât look at her the same way I did a few years ago.â
âMr. Ye, you taught me a good lesson today.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Feng replied with a smile. âI donât dare to lecture you, itâs just a reminder.â
âThereâs another old saying in China, âYou canât judge a person by their appearance.ââ
âYour Excellency, itâs better to be more careful in the future.â
Duke Buckingham nodded. âA person who has been away for three days should be treated differently. You may know a personâs face but not his heart.â
âVery good.â
âIâve remembered everything.â
ââ¦â
As he spoke, he started chatting with Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was not in a hurry, he just patiently chatted with him.
It was not until the phone rang and John Bull informed him that he had arrived that he stopped talking to Duke Buckingham.
Not long after he reported his location, a servant led John Bull in.
