Chapter 1683: Go Through the Procedure or Continue to Struggle?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Your Excellency, this gentleman said that Boss Ye invited him over.” When the servant came over, he carefully asked Duke Buckingham for instructions.
Duke Buckingham saw this and immediately looked at Ye Feng. “Mister Ye, is this the friend you mentioned earlier?”
“That’s right.” Ye Feng’s lips curled up as he looked at Farry.
“Miss Farry, do you want to go through the procedure now, or do you want to continue struggling before going through the procedure?”
Farry also recognized John Bull at this moment, and her expression was completely flustered. “I, I…”
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.
“What happened?” Duke Buckingham looked puzzled. “Is there anything special about this friend of Mr. Ye’s?”
Ye Feng looked at Farry with a faint smile. “Miss Farry is still unwilling to speak.”
“Then I might as well let my friend tell the Duke why.”
“John Bull, tell Duke Buckingham what Miss Farry went to do about an hour ago.”
John Bull immediately looked at Duke Buckingham with gratitude and respect. “Your Excellency, I grew up in the Mary Sue Orphanage. It’s one of the orphanages that you insisted on supporting and caring for when Congress was about to cancel the support for some orphanages.”
“All these years, the children who grew up in the orphanage, especially me, have always remembered your kindness.”
“You grew up in the Mary Sue Orphanage?” Duke Buckingham was slightly surprised.
John Bull nodded solemnly. “Yes.”
“Our 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.”
“So 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 you…”
Duke Buckingham looked pleased. “I’m glad to see that you have grown up safely. Can you tell me what you do for a living, child?”
“I’m a black market merchant.” John Bull replied respectfully, “The kind of business that specializes in doing business in the gray areas.”
“Oh?” Duke Buckingham was very surprised. “Black market merchant?”
“From what you’re saying, Farry is your customer?”
“A regular customer.” John Bull didn’t hide anything. “I’m in the deep recesses of a residential area not far away. I have a dry cleaning shop that specializes in selling stolen goods.”
“Miss Farry has been at my shop at least 15 or 16 times in the past month.”
“This morning, she came by and asked me to help her get rid of a pure gold replica Victoria Cross. I gave her 7,000 dollars…”
Duke Buckingham’s expression changed.
Farry quickly denied it. “I didn’t. He’s just talking nonsense!”
“He’s in cahoots with that Ye guy!”
“That Ye guy must have colluded with him in advance to frame me!”
“I don’t even know this person, let alone sell the stolen goods and receive money from him.”
“…”
John Bull must have been prepared. He immediately took out his phone. “She’s lying again!”
“This is the record of my long-term transfers of money to her!”
“I 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.”
As he spoke, he transferred a dollar to Farry’s bank account right in front of Duke Buckingham.
“Your HSBC bank account number ending with 0155 has received a transfer of 1 dollar…”
A bank notification appeared on the phone in Isabella’s 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 Buckingham’s expression turned even uglier. “Farry, what else do you have to say now?”
“I, I…” 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 didn’t say much either. He immediately took out a few small items from the bag that he had brought over.
“These are the things that the lady asked me to help sell.”
“I haven’t dealt with them yet.”
Duke Buckingham’s pupils trembled and his body trembled.
“The earring that the princess lost before that is worth more than 100,000 dollars!”
“The world’s first Zippo lighter, which the Duke of Anjou has treasured for many years, that is worth more than 100,000 dollars!”
“The precious agate from Count Roseger’s family. It’s worth more than 70,000 dollars.”
“…”
“So all of this was your doing??!!!”
Farry probably knew that the evidence was irrefutable, and she couldn’t refute it anymore. Her face turned ugly.
Duke Buckingham’s body trembled violently. “I never thought of it!”
“When I brought you to see the princess, the princess’s earring was lost. When I brought you to visit the Anjou family, the Duke of Anjou’s lighter was lost. When I brought you to visit Count Roseger’s house, the agate from Count Roseger’s house was lost. I should have suspected you!”
“How could it be such a coincidence? Every time I take you somewhere, something is stolen!”
Farry lowered her head and said nothing.
“Do you like stealing so much?” Duke Buckingham’s eyes were moist and filled with disappointment!
Farry suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment. “You’re all so rich. What’s wrong with letting me steal a little?”
“Besides, it’s just a lousy medal, twelve gold bars, an earring, a lighter, and an agate. It’s not like you’re going to die! Is there a need to complain so much?”
Duke Buckingham was absolutely infuriated by these words.
He couldn’t help but raise his hand and slap her hard. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Do you still have any humanity left?”
Farry didn’t show any signs of repentance. Instead, her face twisted. “Am I wrong? You guys have so much money, what’s wrong with letting me use it?”
The Duke immediately turned to Isabella. “I need some time! Get someone to take her away.”
“Deal with her according to the laws of the Sun Never Sets Empire.”
“There’s no need to have any qualms!”
Isabella must have felt that people like Farry were disgusting and creepy.
Seeing Farry’s 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 Farry’s mouth.
As she interrupted her, she pressed her under her body!
