early morning.

Karl stood in front of the full-length mirror, carefully taking care of his collar and sleeves.

Today he was wearing a wide-brimmed tall hat, a wool windbreaker, a black vest, trousers and leather boots.

The dress is somewhat similar to the Byzantine style remembered in the previous life, and also has some exquisite and gorgeous embroidery patterns.

Such a set costs one gold coin and three pounds.

For an ordinary family, just such a set of clothes may take a year to save.

It costs a lot of money, but the results are not bad.

Karl's rough features and burn scars on his face gave him the impression of being fierce and unapproachable.

After putting on this suit of clothes, his temperament becomes much more elegant, more like a successful person who is unsmiling.

Opening the door, Jenny had already prepared breakfast.

When conditions permit, Carl never treats himself badly. After getting money, he first asked Mary and her daughter to improve the quality of their meals.

This extra payment is stress-free for him and keeps him in a good mood every day.

The table is filled with cereal, milk, bread and jam, as well as some dried fruits, ham and cold cuts...

A hearty breakfast, befitting a respectable nobleman.

"Good morning, Baron Karl."

Jenny put down the fruit plate in her hand and looked at it curiously:

"Are you going to a party?"

It's not common to dress up like this.

"Um."

Karl nodded:

"Today is Ewinnie's birthday."

"Oh!" Jenny remembered the beautiful girl who was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and nodded when she heard this:

"Do you have time tonight?"

"What?" Karl stopped his knife and fork and looked up:

"Is something wrong?"

"Yeah." Jenny looked shy and took out two tickets with warm body temperature from her body:

"Today is my first official performance on stage. I hope you can come and bring a friend."

"Congratulations." Karl smiled, took the ticket, glanced at it casually, and said with some surprise:

"Wim Opera House?"

This is not an ordinary opera house that holds small concerts. It can be ranked among the top three in Signo City, and many grand ceremonies are held there.

"Yes." Jenny clasped her hands and blushed:

"This time the Barrow Chorus was invited to sing at the Wim Opera House in preparation for the upcoming God's Birthday."

“The leader said that if I perform well this time, I will be officially allowed to join the singing group to sing hymns on God’s Birthday.”

"That's great." Karl nodded:

"I guessed that you would become famous one day, but I didn't expect to see you in the opera house so soon."

"I will definitely come then!"

Jenny smiled.

She has actually performed on stage before, but only in small places, and Karl was not specially invited.

Just for this surprise.

Watching Karl go out, Jenny waved her little fist fiercely, her face full of joy.

"This time, I will definitely impress you."

"Fivepence."

It just rained last night.

Thanks to Signo City's imperfect infrastructure, there are inevitably puddles on the ground.

After paying the fare, Karl carefully avoided several puddles and walked towards the hotel ahead.

Before we even got close to the hotel, the noise filled our eardrums.

"Hello, I hang out with a few random friends all day long, and when I have nothing to do, I ask prostitutes to accompany me."

Kingsley roared loudly:

"Look at those clothes in the living room. They are all covered in sticky stuff. I just feel sick!"

"Are you qualified to speak against me?" A familiar voice sounded:

"Which of my friends has never had a relationship with you? You slut, a**, a**, you are the son of a bitch."

"Who are you talking about?"

"shut up!"

"Bang..."

"Crash..."

Roars and curses were mixed together, and from time to time a few shouts and cries of pain could be heard.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting."

Ewinnie, who was wearing a princess dress, had tears in her eyes and looked helplessly at the scene in front of her. She cried and stepped forward to pull:

"Today is my birthday, please stop fighting."

"ah!"

I don't know who suddenly exerted force and pushed her backwards, and was about to hit the wine cabinet.

"careful."

Karl appeared at the right time, stretched out his hand to stop Ewinnie, and looked at the field with a surprised expression:

"What's going on?"

It was supposed to be a joyful day to celebrate birthdays, but now it was a full-on martial arts show, with a group of people fighting each other.

There was a chaos among the uncle's family and other guests, and even the hotel staff couldn't stop them.

Karl knew that these relatives had a bad relationship with each other, but he did not expect that they would suffer like this. They were merciless when they started to attack.

Even women tear apart like madmen.

"Ugh..." Ewinnie, who looked panicked and helpless, cried loudly after hearing this, and lay in Karl's arms:

"Cousin Carl, ugh..."

"never mind."

Karl shook his head:

"Let them stop first."

"Sit down first and have a good rest."

After letting Ewinnie sit down, Karl appeared on the scene, grabbed someone with his big hand and threw him backwards.

He was strong and powerful, and everything he passed was thrown away. For a moment, the field was silent.

Everyone was panting, but Karl stood in the field with an unchanging expression, and even straightened his tie.

"so……"

Scanning the entire audience, he spoke slowly:

"What's going on?"

"divorce!"

Someone suddenly shouted:

"I can't live any longer. Get divorced today!"

Karl recognized him, Kingsley's husband, his cousin-in-law, a good-looking man.

It was because of this that Kingsley decided to marry him despite the opposition of his family.

pity,

After the two got married, it was not as sweet as the story in the book, but all kinds of trivial matters.

Within two years, they each lived their own lives, and the relationship between husband and wife existed in name only.

Every time the two get together, there will be quarrels, and this time seems to be no exception.

"Just leave!"

Kingsley, dressed sharply, roared:

"I shouldn't have married you in the first place!"

"It should have been divorced a long time ago." The fat and small-eyed Gejir did not dissuade him, but snorted coldly:

"My daughter has been married to you for so many years, and she must be compensated."

"Compensation?" Josie, Kingsley's husband, heard this and sneered:

"You're a really weird family, but don't worry, I'm willing to do anything as long as we get a divorce, and I don't want the yard in Dongcheng anymore."

"That yard is not valuable to begin with." Kingsley said with disdain.

"Don't think I don't know, you still have some money in the bank, and part of me is in it."

"nonsense……"

"Then let's calculate it carefully."

Karl shook his head and ignored the quarrel between several people. Instead, he came to Eweni and gave him a gift.

"Happy birthday."

"cousin."

Ewinnie sniffed and nodded with a red face:

"Thanks."

Karl turned sideways and looked at Ewinnie's messy hair, and his eyes paused on the familiar hairpin.

"A birthday gift from my sister."

Seeing this, Ewinnie took off the hairpin and cried in her voice:

"I said I spent a lot of money to buy it. I like it very much."

"Yeah."

Karl thought thoughtfully:

"Just like it."

Looking back at Kingsley who looked like a crazy woman, he chuckled and shook his head subconsciously.

people,

Always complicated.

"cousin."

He raised his hand to signal:

"I happen to be planning to buy a house recently. You might as well sell me your yard in East City."

“The price is easy to talk about.”
