"Death is the best end of sin." This time, Mycroft did not beat around the bush with Mia and gave a clear answer.

You can use your mind and calculate people when dealing with this smart ally, but the bottom line is the only thing that cannot be crossed, otherwise the cooperation between the two sides will collapse, and maybe she will turn around and cheat him!

"Very good." Mia looked at Mycroft's face, which looked particularly cold in the shadows, and nodded with satisfaction, "The Earl of Leamington will always remember your friendship."

Mycroft: "He just wants to roll his eyes now. The Earl of Leamington will always remember his friendship. What you said sounds like the Earl of Leamington will really do something. In the end, he didn't roll his eyes. The fact that the current Earl of Leamington did nothing was the best reflection of this friendship. The rest of the matter did not need too much explanation. Everyone knew it. Mycroft, who made a promise and got another one, came a

    After all, those who were born in Whitechapel, the most chaotic place in London, are definitely not lacking in brains. Although Anne and Derek are not big shots, they can still find a few useful people. So in the end, the couple looked for candidates separately, and then borrowed the staff of Mycroft to conduct background checks and then sent them to the Meckhill Manor to help the two siblings after simple training. So Mia has always been patient with Mycroft, the cunning fox. As long as he doesn't do anything that breaks the bottom line, she will not betray her ally, and will cooperate with this small employee of the British government for a long time in the future, making full use of the title of Earl of Leamington to achieve her goals. Who is the alliance? Before you have enough power to protect yourself, you still have to keep a low profile. "Alas, when will you grow up?" Mia sighed as she looked at the serious little Arthur sitting in front of the piano. Maurice Leamington

    Yes, she hated her son Morris and wished he would die soon! She even happily opened champagne after he died, without any sadness at all. But if the cause of death was related to politics, it would not be a happy thing, because it was not only a matter of his death, but also represented the troubles in the future! Does the Earl of Lymington's right to speak disappear after his death? No, not only did it not disappear, but because Arthur was still young, the Earl of Lymington became a hot commodity that everyone was fighting for! He was young and lacked political awareness, but his family had enough energy. The most exciting thing was that he came back from outside, and the people close to him knew nothing about the upper class and politics. Holding him was equivalent to holding a seat in the House of Lords for the next ten years. How stupid would it be if we didn't fight for it quickly? So Old Lady Leamington has been sitting on the Diaoyutai, waiting for all parties to come to h

    But it's good, smart people know what's best for themselves, instead of relying on their own intelligence and thinking that they can control everything, both sides get what they want, and everyone is happy. But there are also things that are not so happy. "Please sign here." The lawyer guided Mia to sign the documents. After completing these, the properties belonged to the earl. As for the part that belonged to the earl, there was no need for the earl, who was less than six years old, to sign, because his mother had already done this for him. Mia said nothing, browsed through the documents and began to sign non-stop. The transfer of real estate ownership in the Victorian era required countless documents to be signed. The relevant documents for a house could fill a whole box! Not to mention the property left by her stepfather and grandmother, there were so many that she signed until her hands were numb. And the lawyer who came from afar to handle the business was not much easier

    Anne and Derek are not the kind of people who do nothing every day. One is busy running the pharmacy, and the other is busy working at the police station. They both live a fulfilling life. They have never thought about giving up their current lives to become a couple who do not work and spend their energy on socializing and various dances every day. Mia has always adhered to the principle of not interfering in other people's lives. Now of course, she will not interfere with Anne and Derek's ideas. If you like to struggle, then struggle. Everyone has their own ambitions. Who doesn't have their own ideals? Anyway, no matter how hard you struggle, you will not lack food and clothing. Anne and Derek are happy. It's not that the two of them are not enterprising. They just move forward step by step. What's wrong with that? As for danger, the situation in Whitechapel is quite dangerous, but considering that Derek has done a good job in the past two years and Anne is pregnant again, he ha

    Mia, who was facing them, looked at the different expressions of the mother and son and didn't know what to say. Although Morris Leamington was a bastard, at least give the dead a little respect, right? You guys were so blatantly performing facial expressions at his funeral, isn't that a bit too much? But in the end, she didn't say anything. It was too much, it had nothing to do with her. Did she have to condemn Viscount Bridgerton? No, if you really want to say it, at this funeral, apart from Alice Flynn and the children she gave birth to, would anyone really feel sad about Morris Leamington's death? I'm afraid not. Glancing at the guests who threw white roses on the coffin, Mia once again lamented the cheap grandfather's rotten popularity. Not to mention being sad, if there were a few people who didn't still care about their dignity, they would probably open champagne to celebrate on the spot! Shaking her head slightly, she didn't pay attention to these people anymore. After at

    It was tiring enough to deal with a bunch of people outside, and if there was someone at home who was always looking for trouble, how could she live? Mrs. Leamington admitted that she did not do a good job in educating her children. She used high-pressure tactics and a very strict attitude towards the previous children because she was busy fighting with her husband and his lover. But she did not do anything to harm the interests of these children! Which noble family did not go through this? Why are they so rebellious when it comes to her? The two little ones are okay, but the big ones really give her a headache. The eldest son's son may have been swapped by his brother. This kind of thing is really explosive no matter where it is put, okay? And the subsequent fake heir Arthur? Leamington bribed the murderer to kill the real heir. Coupled with a bunch of subsequent problems, Mrs. Leamington felt that her luck was really not very good. How could she meet such a troublemaker? Espec

    The two of them have known each other for such a long time. He only knew that this lady should have a good woodcutter, but he didn't know that she was also very knowledgeable in the art of chopping people... And he didn't listen to his advice. She also knew some art of carving, so she was very flexible. What did she want to carve? His bones? Mycroft, who was always good at speaking, decided to keep his mouth shut and not provoke this angry lady. "So you came to me?" Sherlock looked at his brother sitting opposite him in silence. If he couldn't afford to offend others, how could he afford to offend him? "I just came to ask about your progress." Mycroft felt tired. One by one, they were not good-tempered people. What sin had he committed? "Progress?" Sherlock raised his eyebrows and looked at Mycroft. "Did the lady urge you?" When he came, the countess was holding her brother's hand and standing upstairs to watch him, but now she has been missing for a long time. Did she reach an agr

    "Rosalin Leamington and Trevor Leamington?" Mycroft's frown never relaxed, "But I remember it was a cholera?" This disease didn't happen in the UK, how could it go wrong? "I went to Africa in person and found the entourage who followed Dominic and his wife to the station and learned some things. Trevor Leamington shouldn't have been in the place where the cholera broke out, but someone told him something, so he went to find Dominic and got cholera. Rosalin was also infected with cholera because of taking care of the children and eventually died. Guess who told him what?" Sherlock asked him. Mycroft just wanted to hit someone when he heard this question, and answered with a gloomy face, "When did your personality become so annoying?" Is it right to keep people on suspense at this time? "Sorry, I just think this family is really amazing, and the drama of what happens within the family is no less than that of the royal family." Sherlock shrugged, not minding his brother's stinky face

    "I'm so glad you like it." Mia's eyes curved up. It was worth asking Mycroft about the Duke's preferences. "Do you want to have breakfast with us or later?"When she was in a good mood, her attitude towards others was also good. She happily asked the Duke about his plan."Even breakfast is eaten separately here?" Bassett felt that since he came to Luworth, his life concept has been challenged. Whose breakfast is divided into time periods?"We have to take into account the different habits of different people." Mia smiled, handed the reins to the groom, and walked side by side with Bassett on the road of the manor to explain the situation to him, "People who are used to getting up early will have breakfast at eight o'clock, and those who get up late will have breakfast at eleven o'clock; the same is true for dinner, people who go to bed early will have breakfast at six o'clock, and those who go to bed late will have breakfast at ten o'clock; for lunch, the latter will postpone the form

    After sucking in his stomach, he felt that after the exercise in the past few days, his abdominal muscles were stronger, not to mention that those effective special training made his hands and feet more flexible, making him jump back and forth between this joy and upset mood, contradictory to death. 2*** : "......." I don't know what to say to this gentleman. You look happy and sad at the same time. Are you really mentally healthy? But thinking about Mia who just left very happily, he also wanted to sigh. Sometimes some people are really qualified to be unreasonable. Silently following Lionel into the bathroom, Bassett was very surprised when he saw the liquid poured out from a bottle on the sink, "What is this?" Don't you use soap to wash your hands? Why use this liquid? It's not like there is no soap. "Removing the gunpowder smell on your hands will prevent you from being affected by the gunpowder smell when you eat." Lionel rubbed his hands carefully and said to Bassett. Thi

    "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang! Bang!" The sound of the bullets was very regular, and Mia's shooting method was also very skillful. The first bullet tried the bullet, and the three bullets behind began to exert their strength. First, one bullet hit a flying disc, and the two reloaded bullets hit the flying disc at the same time, making two very symmetrical holes on it. "How boring." Mia looked at the falling frisbee and curled her lips. She threw the hunting bullet in her hand on the table, picked up the hand bullet that the manservant had brought before, weighed it, and began to load bullets. "Click?" She shook the hand bullet, and the shell returned to its position with a crisp sound. "Release the frisbee." Mia used her left arm as a support point and put her right hand on it, "Bang bang bang bang bang bang?" Six bullets were fired continuously, directly hitting the frisbee in the air. Ignoring the stunned eyes of the people around her, she reloaded her handgun, then picked up another

    Apart from some very few landscape paintings, he really prefers portraits of people. For him, the latter are more valuable to appreciate. A group of people quickly moved to the collection room, a room that had been covered with curtains for a long time, and was exposed to the sun again because of the arrival of the guests. "...... It's spectacular." Bassett didn't know how to describe the owner's style of behavior here. In this collection room, not only are there portraits hanging on the walls, but there are also rows of wooden shelves hanging on the open space in the room. People with poor eyesight would think that there are a pile of colorful cloth hanging inside. What kind of weird behavior is this? But even so, he had to admit that there are really a lot of collections here, so many that it dazzled him. How many portraits are hung here? For Mia, it's a lot. The portraits of the three richest men in the Leamington family are all here. How can there not be a lot? It's because

    The Duke of Hastings really didn't want to see this situation, but that didn't mean he had to sell the land to Mia. It didn't matter if he sold it to the enemies of the Leamington family, or if he kept it and didn't sell it or develop it, or just left it there?? Anyway, he had sworn to his father that he would never marry, and was ready to make the Duke of Hastings completely extinct, so what else was there to worry about? But we need to analyze the specific issues specifically. His relationship with Mycroft was still okay. Since the other party was the matchmaker, he didn't mind going there to discuss the deal. But he didn't expect that the person who was negotiating business with him was not the Earl of Leamington himself but his sister. Oh, by the way, the Earl of Leamington standing next to him was still a child, so of course he couldn't negotiate business with him. If it wasn't his sister who was in charge, could it be his great-grandmother, Old Lady Leamington? "Hello, Miss L

    "......You are thanking people for the wine now?" Mycroft was speechless. Was his ally too excited and not in a good mind? "My own winery produces the product." Mia smiled slightly. If she came to Scotland and didn't open a winery, it would be a waste of time. How could she make such a mistake? Although it was not long, she really planned to take root in Scotland and run the business here well. Then, after buying the dock, buying another winery to expand the business, wouldn't it be normal? The two complement each other. If she lived long enough, she might catch up with the prohibition on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, copy the experience of her old friend, and directly run a one-stop smuggling service from the dock to make a lot of money. How could she waste such an advantage? Mycroft was stunned. He really didn't expect Mia to be able to do this. A distillery? Yes, Scotch whisky is indeed world-famous, but why is this thing so unrelated to her? "......You really have

    "What the hell is that? He's a psychopath!" Mia was so angry that she wanted to chop him. "Who is this? He even told me proudly that he helped me a lot. Do I need his help?" She said that she was not joking when she asked Mrs. Leamington to personally take action on Broussard. In the eyes of this cheap great-grandmother, power is the most important thing. If anyone dares to compete with her for power, just look at her eldest son Maurice? Leamington will know. The two of them fought each other fiercely, and then they didn't see each other for 30 years. Even when his son died, he didn't shed a single tear of joy. Why should Broussard be an exception? As long as he dared to take action and she caught solid evidence, she wouldn't have to do anything about it. Mrs. Leamington could exile her son to a place where no one would shit! What was the result? Now Broussard still maintains the image of a pure little lamb in his mother's heart. The only thing that could work was that his death dealt

If it doesn't work, then he can only use hypnosis."Oh, what kind of fate do I have?" Mia sighed and made a schedule in the study, feeling that she was really unlucky. Why did she always encounter such pitfalls?"What kind of fate?" Arthur, who had just been tortured by the teacher, floated in. He was shocked when he heard Mia's words. What happened again?Just got the news from Mr. Holmes that their youngest uncle also died in Africa. Arthur was shocked to death, and now he is a little allergic to all the wind and grass in the outside world."...A not very reliable guest came to the door."
