Chapter 213

Compared to Zhao Hai’s worry, Laura’s situation could be described as deep as water and deep as fire. When Laura received Zhao Hai’s letter, she was stunned. She had never thought that things would turn out like this.

When Nier saw Laura sitting there in a daze without saying a word, she immediately felt afraid. She quickly ran to find kun Zheng and informed Kelun.

When kun entered Laura’s study, he saw her sitting on the sofa in a daze. She was holding a letter in her hand, but it was obvious that she was not reading it at all. Her eyes were blank and lifeless.

Kun Zheng was shocked and immediately walked over. He said softly, ” “Laura, little Laura, what’s wrong?”

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Laura jumped up and said with tears in her eyes, ” “Grandpa kun Zheng, what should we do? what should we do?”

Kun was shocked by Laura’s appearance. He quickly said, ” “What’s wrong? What was happening? Little Laura, don’t be anxious. Tell Grandpa kun Zheng.”

Hearing kun Zheng’s consoling voice, Laura gradually calmed down. However, tears still flowed out of her eyes as she handed the letter to kun Zheng while sobbing.

Kun Zheng took the letter and read it carefully. The more he read, the uglier his expression became. He did not expect this to happen. Originally, the magiderre family was already enough to give them a headache. Now, with the addition of the king of the south, it was no wonder that Lola would lose her composure.

After reading the letter, kun Zheng slowly placed it on the coffee table. He looked at Laura and sighed. When he was reading the letter, kun Zheng had already weighed the pros and cons in his heart. In the end, he realized that they could no longer stay in the vansail Duchy. Not only the vansail Duchy, but the Arkas Empire as well.

Kun walked to Laura’s side and patted her shoulder. &Quot; &Quot; alright, little Laura, it’s not the time to cry. Let’s think about what we should do. &Quot;

At this moment, Karen walked in from outside. When she saw how much Laura was crying, she couldn’t help but exclaim, ” “Laura, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Who’s bullying you?”

Kun Zheng smiled wryly and handed the letter to Kelun. Kelun’s expression changed after he read the letter. He knew very well what the letter meant. Although he didn’t care much about the outside world, he still had some understanding of the king of the south. It was really difficult for such a powerful figure to suddenly intervene in this matter.

Karen put the letter down and turned to kun Zheng. &Quot; “Chief uncle, what do you think?”

Kun Zheng frowned and said, ” there is no point in saying anything now. Even if the three of us work together, we can not defeat Borich. I think we need to tell Ivan about this as soon as possible. Then, we need to prepare to leave the Versailles Duchy immediately. It would be best if we could leave the Arkas Empire as well. &Quot;

“We can go there if we leave the Arkas Empire,” Karen said with a frown.”If we leave the Arkas Empire, we can escape from Borich’s pursuit. But what about the magiderre family? The magedell family is very powerful in the entire northern continent. Even if we leave the Arkas Empire, it will be difficult for us to escape their pursuit. Don’t forget, we have already completely fallen out with them.”

Kun Zheng nodded. &Quot; I know that, but in other countries, we just have to deal with the magiderre family. We don’t have to be afraid of Borich anymore. This will be a strong enemy for us. &Quot;

Karen thought for a moment and nodded. Compared to facing two powerful enemies, it was undoubtedly much easier to face one enemy. Moreover, in other countries, the magidels were not omnipotent.

Laura had calmed down by now. She wiped the tears off her face and said, &Quot; I’ll go to the Grand Duke’s Manor immediately and tell him about this. Grandpa kun Zheng, you should prepare at home. &Quot;

Kun Zheng nodded. Lola stood up and asked Nier to prepare the carriage. She had to get to the Grand Duke’s mansion as soon as possible and tell Ivan about this. Ivan was good to her, so she could not hide such an important thing from him.

When Lola arrived at the Duke’s mansion, Ivan had already received the news. He immediately invited her to his study room. When he saw Lola entering the study room, he was stunned. Lola’s eyes were still red. Obviously, she had just cried. Ivan did not know what could have made her cry like this.

He quickly said,”little Laura, what’s wrong with you?” What happened?”

Laura forced a smile at Ivan and told him the contents of the letter that Zhao Hai gave her. Hearing her words, Ivan frowned as he didn’t expect the situation to be so tricky.

Laura looked at Ivan and said, ” &Quot; uncle Ivan, this is really troublesome. We’ve already planned to temporarily withdraw from the Duchy of Versailles. You won’t have to fight with Borich and the magiderre family anymore. What do you think? ”

Ivan looked at Laura and sighed, ” “Little Laura, uncle can’t lie to you. Our Versailles family is unable to participate in this matter, nor can we protect you. It’s good that you’re leaving, but don’t worry, you can leave their shop here. I’ll send someone to take over, and I’ll still give you the monthly income. Just take it as me helping you look after the shop temporarily.”

Lola was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect Ivan to make such a suggestion. She was touched. She knew that Ivan didn’t mean to take over her shops. If he really wanted to, he wouldn’t have to say these words. He could have just waited for them to leave. It was clear that he meant what he said.

Laura knew that Ivan would be taking a huge risk if he did that. Not only would he offend Borich, but he would also offend the magicians. She didn’t want to put Ivan in a difficult position, so she shook her head and said, ” “There’s no need for that, uncle Ivan. You may be the head of the family now, but the elders will object to your decision. It’s not beneficial to the Versailles family. There are only disadvantages. They won’t agree.”

Ivan snorted. &Quot; I, Ivan, will never hit my friends when they are in trouble. Just leave the shop to me. As long as you leave, I can say that you sold the shop to me. They won’t be able to say anything. Although the southern King is powerful, a tall tree attracts the wind. Besides, our Versailles family is not weak. He won’t dare to do anything to us. &Quot;

Lola had no choice. If she didn’t agree, Ivan would think she looked down on him. She nodded and said, ” &Quot; alright then, I’ll make some arrangements when I get back. I’ll also discuss with Sir and ask him not to cut off the supply of products from paradise. &Quot;

Ivan was stunned. He nodded and said, ” “That’s good too. I want to see if they have any reason to snatch the store after you guys leave. If they still dare to do anything, don’t blame me.”

Lola smiled and said, ” we’re leaving. The shop will naturally be taken care of by uncle Wan. However, uncle Wan can’t take care of it for us for free. Let’s take it as you’re a shareholder. How about this? we’ll split the profits of the shop 40 – 60. &Quot; We’ll take four, while the Versailles clan will take six.”

Ivan’s face darkened,”Laura, what do you mean?” Are you looking down on your uncle Ivan? I’m helping you look after the shop, how can I charge you so much money?”

Laura smiled. &Quot; I didn’t look down on uncle Ivan, but don’t you forget that you are the head of the Versailles family. If you don’t think for the sake of the family, people will gossip about you. You can only help us if you are the head of the family, right? ” I’ll let you take care of these shops and give you 60% of the profits. This way, the elders in your family won’t be able to say anything, and I won’t have to sell the shops at a low price, right?”

Ivan calmed down. He knew that Laura was right. He was now the true ruler of the Versailles family, and he had to consider everything for the sake of the family. In fact, when he decided to help Laura deal with the magicians, the elders in the family were already dissatisfied. They felt that it was not worth it. If he helped Laura take care of the store and didn’t get any benefits, the elders in the family would definitely not agree.

Ivan felt a sense of impatience. Although he was in power now, he realized that there were still many things he could not decide. After all, the Versailles family was not in a position of absolute power. The elders still had a certain level of authority, and he could not ignore their feelings.

Ivan looked at Laura who was smiling at him. He forced a smile and said, ” “Alright, we’ll do as you say. However, if you return to the Versailles Duchy one day, I’ll hand those shops over to you.”

Laura nodded with a smile, but her heart ached. She didn’t believe that she would ever return to the Duchy of Versailles. She had offended the king of the south, Borich, in the Arkas Empire. Except for a big family like the Versailles family, people like her had no way to survive. She would never be able to return to the Duchy of Versailles again, and she was afraid that she wouldn’t even be able to return to the Arkas Empire.

After discussing this matter with Ivan, Laura left the Duke’s residence and returned to the Xin residence. There wasn’t the slightest bit of panic in Xin mansion, mainly because most of the servants didn’t know about this matter. It should be known that Laura controlled nearly half of the daily necessities market in the Duchy of Versailles. If they were to panic, the daily necessities market in the entire Duchy of Versailles would fluctuate, which was not something Laura wanted to see.

When Laura entered the study room, she saw kun writing letters. The finished letters were placed at the side. She picked up the letters and saw that they were all for the shop owners of the red spider lily shop. It seemed like kun was really going to disband the entire shop.

Laura put down the letter and said to kun Zheng, ” Grandpa kun Zheng, you don’t have to write anymore. I’ve already spoken to Grand Duke Yi Wan. He’ll take care of the store, and we’ll split the profits 40 – 60. We’ll take 40%, and he’ll take 60%. &Quot;
