Chapter 956: Chapter 956: So It Was All Her Doing (6)
No one ever mentioned what Grandma Zhuang’s real name was.
Qiu Wenduo looked at them with disdain, as if to say, "You know nothing, yet you dare to come here. You have no idea you’ve stepped into a den of foxes."
"This castle is said to be over a thousand years old. Luxembourg is a famous grand duchy, as you all know," Qiu Wenduo said. "So, many wealthy people have been nobles here for a long time. The lady of the house is no different."
"We all know she’s very rich. So what?" Zhong Qiaohui asked.
"No, what you don’t know is—" Qiu Wenduo lowered his voice, "how much she despises those who aren’t nobles."
The crowd, following his words, couldn’t help but look at Gu Nuan, who was determined to negotiate with the other party.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t Gu Nuan be exactly the type Grandma Zhuang hates the most? A person not born of nobility, yet possessing the ability to overturn the nobility.
Qiu Wenduo certainly hadn’t said everything; his smug expression implied he wanted to see Gu Nuan’s defeated expression.
"Melissa-Phillips, that’s her name. Phillips is the name of her family’s ancestor, the true duke."
Meanwhile, in Grandma Zhuang Melissa’s master bedroom, several people came and went, all bringing her messages. The last person to bring her a message said, "They didn’t escape the castle; they came up from underground."
"What did you say?" Melissa seemed to wake from a dream, opening her half-closed old eyes with a mildly incredulous expression.
"They brought the prisoner held below, upstairs."
Hearing this, Melissa looked questioningly at her eldest grandson standing beside her.
Zhuang Haoxiong stroked his chin and said, "It seems they knew each other before. Because the company we sent Qiu Wenduo to work for is actually her company."
"The question is, how did they know Qiu Wenduo was being held here by us?"
No one could answer this, until Old Lu was mentioned.
The head chef walked up and said, "I already thought something was off about him, wanted to detain him as well."
At this point, Melissa waved her hand and said, "Since she knows I want to catch them, and now she’s coming to talk to me, I’ll see what she wants."
Zhuang Haoxiong was just about to voice his objection.
But Melissa had already shown a determined look.
The person leading Gu Nuan brought her before Melissa.
Two women, one old and one young, faced each other.
"Go on, what do you want?" Melissa asked.
"I just heard someone say that I’m the type of person you hate the most, perhaps even less than an insect. But in my eyes, you’re not at all a cute old lady, perhaps less than a cockroach."
These words sent a shock through everyone present.
Those accompanying Gu Nuan were suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. None of them expected Gu Nuan to be so bold, daring to speak such words to her face. Currently, they were caught in a perilous situation, surrounded by the other party and constantly on the verge of captivity.
In this space that suddenly felt as though it were about to explode, abrupt laughter broke out, oddly fitting the scene.
The loud, trumpet-like laughter came from a child.
Melissa’s gaze fell upon a young boy laughing heartily in the corner, exhibiting a bit of an old person’s temper, but also some helplessness: "Anthony—"
