âYour Excellency, this gentleman said that Boss Ye invited him over.â When the servant came over, he carefully asked Duke Buckingham for instructions.
Duke Buckingham saw this and immediately looked at Ye Feng. âMister Ye, is this the friend you mentioned earlier?â
âThatâs right.â Ye Fengâs lips curled up as he looked at Farry.
âMiss Farry, do you want to go through the procedure now, or do you want to continue struggling before going through the procedure?â
Farry also recognized John Bull at this moment, and her expression was completely flustered. âI, Iâ¦â
Not only did she not dare to look at Johann Bull, but she also hurriedly turned her head away so that John Bull could not see her face.
âWhat happened?â Duke Buckingham looked puzzled. âIs there anything special about this friend of Mr. Yeâs?â
Ye Feng looked at Farry with a faint smile. âMiss Farry is still unwilling to speak.â
âThen I might as well let my friend tell the Duke why.â
âJohn Bull, tell Duke Buckingham what Miss Farry went to do about an hour ago.â
John Bull immediately looked at Duke Buckingham with gratitude and respect. âYour Excellency, I grew up in the Mary Sue Orphanage. Itâs one of the orphanages that you insisted on supporting and caring for when Congress was about to cancel the support for some orphanages.â
âAll these years, the children who grew up in the orphanage, especially me, have always remembered your kindness.â
âYou grew up in the Mary Sue Orphanage?â Duke Buckingham was slightly surprised.
John Bull nodded solemnly. âYes.â
âOur director often mentioned you to us. He said that it was all thanks to you that we were able to grow up safely in the orphanage.â
âSo when Boss Ye asked me to expose my customer just now, I was originally unwilling to do something that violated professional ethics until I heard that this matter was related to youâ¦â
Duke Buckingham looked pleased. âIâm glad to see that you have grown up safely. Can you tell me what you do for a living, child?â
âIâm a black market merchant.â John Bull replied respectfully, âThe kind of business that specializes in doing business in the gray areas.â
âOh?â Duke Buckingham was very surprised. âBlack market merchant?â
âFrom what youâre saying, Farry is your customer?â
âA regular customer.â John Bull didnât hide anything. âIâm in the deep recesses of a residential area not far away. I have a dry cleaning shop that specializes in selling stolen goods.â
âMiss Farry has been at my shop at least 15 or 16 times in the past month.â
âThis morning, she came by and asked me to help her get rid of a pure gold replica Victoria Cross. I gave her 7,000 dollarsâ¦â
Duke Buckinghamâs expression changed.
Farry quickly denied it. âI didnât. Heâs just talking nonsense!â
âHeâs in cahoots with that Ye guy!â
âThat Ye guy must have colluded with him in advance to frame me!â
âI donât even know this person, let alone sell the stolen goods and receive money from him.â
ââ¦â
John Bull must have been prepared. He immediately took out his phone. âSheâs lying again!â
âThis is the record of my long-term transfers of money to her!â
âI can also transfer another sum to her account right now. Your Excellency, please see for yourself if the account that transferred 7,000 dollars to her is mine.â
As he spoke, he transferred a dollar to Farryâs bank account right in front of Duke Buckingham.
âYour HSBC bank account number ending with 0155 has received a transfer of 1 dollarâ¦â
A bank notification appeared on the phone in Isabellaâs hand.
Isabella refreshed the income and expenditure records in the mobile banking app.
As expected, the account number used to transfer the money was the same as the one used to transfer 7000 dollars to Farry!
Duke Buckinghamâs expression turned even uglier. âFarry, what else do you have to say now?â
âI, Iâ¦â Farry avoided his gaze.
However, she still had no intention of admitting it.
Seeing this, Ye Feng signaled for John Bull to continue.
John Bull didnât say much either. He immediately took out a few small items from the bag that he had brought over.
âThese are the things that the lady asked me to help sell.â
âI havenât dealt with them yet.â
Duke Buckinghamâs pupils trembled and his body trembled.
âThe earring that the princess lost before that is worth more than 100,000 dollars!â
âThe worldâs first Zippo lighter, which the Duke of Anjou has treasured for many years, that is worth more than 100,000 dollars!â
âThe precious agate from Count Rosegerâs family. Itâs worth more than 70,000 dollars.â
ââ¦â
âSo all of this was your doing??!!!â
Farry probably knew that the evidence was irrefutable, and she couldnât refute it anymore. Her face turned ugly.
Duke Buckinghamâs body trembled violently. âI never thought of it!â
âWhen I brought you to see the princess, the princessâs earring was lost. When I brought you to visit the Anjou family, the Duke of Anjouâs lighter was lost. When I brought you to visit Count Rosegerâs house, the agate from Count Rosegerâs house was lost. I should have suspected you!â
âHow could it be such a coincidence? Every time I take you somewhere, something is stolen!â
Farry lowered her head and said nothing.
âDo you like stealing so much?â Duke Buckinghamâs eyes were moist and filled with disappointment!
Farry suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment. âYouâre all so rich. Whatâs wrong with letting me steal a little?â
âBesides, itâs just a lousy medal, twelve gold bars, an earring, a lighter, and an agate. Itâs not like youâre going to die! Is there a need to complain so much?â
Duke Buckingham was absolutely infuriated by these words.
He couldnât help but raise his hand and slap her hard. âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â
âDo you still have any humanity left?â
Farry didnât show any signs of repentance. Instead, her face twisted. âAm I wrong? You guys have so much money, whatâs wrong with letting me use it?â
The Duke immediately turned to Isabella. âI need some time! Get someone to take her away.â
âDeal with her according to the laws of the Sun Never Sets Empire.â
âThereâs no need to have any qualms!â
Isabella must have felt that people like Farry were disgusting and creepy.
Seeing Farryâs incredulous expression and her attempt to scold Duke Buckingham when she heard that the Duke was going to hand her over to the law, she quickly covered Farryâs mouth.
As she interrupted her, she pressed her under her body!
