Chapter 1681: What Are You Running From?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Seeing this, Duke Buckingham’s expression softened a little, but he still looked pained and resentful. “Do you know that we’ve always had high hopes for you?”
“Farry, why did you do such a stupid thing?”
Farry looked ashamed. “I’m sorry, Granduncle. I’ve let you down.”
“But please rest assured, I will remember this lesson and will not make the same mistake again.”
“I only took these things because I thought they were beautiful, so I was obsessed for a moment and wanted to possess them.”
Duke Buckingham’s expression softened. “Is that all?”
Farry quickly nodded. “That’s all.”
“Otherwise, I would have gotten rid of them long ago when I got my hands on them.”
“I was just greedy for a moment, so I touched your gold bars. As for the other things, I didn’t have any thoughts.”
“Especially that exclusive Victoria Cross Medal!”
“If you don’t believe me, you can let the servants in now and search my residence thoroughly!”
Duke Buckingham was hesitant.
After looking at Farry, he turned to Ye Feng. “Mister Ye…”
Ye Feng waved his hand, but before the Duke could finish, he looked at Farry. “You said you didn’t touch that exclusive Victoria Cross medal?”
Farry should be a little afraid of Ye Feng.
When she heard his question, her expression flinched.
But after a moment, she seemed to have thought of something and became determined again. “I didn’t touch it. If you don’t believe me, you can use your so-called physiognomy to look for it!”
“See if that thing is in my residence and on me!”
Ye Feng guessed that she was so fearless since she had already sold the item to the black market merchant. He squinted his eyes. “I have calculated, there is no trace of the exclusive Victoria Cross on you or in this villa.”
“Right?” Farry’s expression became more relaxed. “I told you I didn’t touch it…”
But before she could say anything else, Ye Feng changed the topic. “But this does not mean that you did not touch the Victoria Cross.”
Farry’s eyes flickered again, and a hint of panic flashed across her face. “What do you mean?”
Ye Feng immediately confirmed his judgment. “May I ask Miss Farry, what were you doing half an hour ago?”
“I was…” Farry probably wanted to lie, but before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly changed the topic. “I went for a walk outside the park.”
“I’ve been cooped up at home for the past two days. I felt almost moldy.”
“I took advantage of the pleasant weather to go out for a walk.”
Ye Feng’s lips curled up. “Can anyone prove it?”
“No, there isn’t.” Farry replied without hesitation, “I went out alone.”
“But the servant Roxy saw me go out.”
“We even chatted a little.”
Ye Feng finally understood why she suddenly said that she went to the park.
He maintained the smile on his face and continued asking, “Miss Farry, what time did you leave and what time did you return?”
“Where did you go?”
“I left at about 8:25 in the morning, and then…” Farry was only halfway through her answer when she suddenly thought of something and frowned. “What are you asking?”
“Could it be that you think there’s something wrong with me going out today? Why are you beating around the bush?”
Duke Buckingham and Isabella were also confused, they looked at Ye Feng.
“I just calculated that in the last half an hour to an hour, you had a sum of ill-gotten wealth.” Ye Feng was neither anxious nor slow. “Miss Farry, can you let me take a look at your phone?”
Farry couldn’t control her emotions anymore. She panicked. “You’re talking nonsense. How could I have ill-gotten wealth?”
“I won’t show my phone to you!”
“There are too many private things in a girl’s phone that are inconvenient to see!”
Ye Feng was unmoved. “If you feel that the privacy of the phone is not convenient for a man like me to see, then Isabella…”
Isabella immediately understood what Ye Feng meant, and she walked towards Farry. “I am a woman, and I am a royal agent of the Sun Never Sets Empire, can you cooperate with me?”
Farry was getting more and more nervous. She subconsciously moved back and away from Isabella.
And this also exposed the treachery in her heart.
Duke Buckingham’s expression turned ugly. “Farry!”
His tone also became serious!
“What are you running from?!”
“Give the phone to Isabella!”
Farry stopped retreating and reluctantly handed over her phone.
Isabella took the phone from her and unlocked it.
Ye Feng saw this and said, “Check her bank transfer records.”
Isabella did as she was told.
After that, she only scrolled through the phone for a moment before she could not help but look at Ye Feng in shock.
“What happened?” Duke Buckingham was curious and puzzled.
“Mr. Ye is right.” Isabella showed the screen of the phone to Duke Buckingham. “Farry’s bank account received a sum of 7,000 dollars about 40 minutes ago.”
“Less than ten minutes after the money was transferred to her account, she spent it on shopping.”
Seeing this, Duke Buckingham took a deep breath, his eyes dark. “Farry, what’s with the 7,000 dollars?”
“Didn’t you just say that you went out to the park by yourself?”
“Why would someone send you so much money?”
Farry lowered her head. “Because, because, I had a part-time job as a fashion model.”
“This, this is my first salary.”
Duke Buckingham frowned. “You went to work part-time?”
“Your parents’ corporation is so successful. Didn’t they give you money?”
Farry lowered her head even further. “Their company is going bankrupt.”
“They can’t even protect themselves during this time. They don’t have time to worry about me.”
“I’ve been relying on myself for the past six months.”
Duke Buckingham was surprised to hear that. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“…” Farry didn’t answer immediately.
She lowered her head and held it in for a while before saying, “After my classmates found out that my family was in dire straits, they started to bully me, look down on me, and even alienate me.”
“I’m afraid that if you find out, you’ll end up like them.”
Duke Buckingham’s expression changed.
