I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

This is the man who stole Leonard's position as a diplomat, making things even worse for their family. The two of them have absolutely no good feelings towards him.

"What I want to tell everyone is that this deal has nothing to do with me."

"There are still many rational people here. Everyone can think about it carefully. I am just a newly arrived diplomat. I have no connections or power here. How could I do such a thing after only a few days in office?"

“I’m not stupid. Even if I were to do it, I would have to settle down here for more than ten years, or at least two years, and then start from the bottom, right? That’s what I was thinking.”

"This matter could cause diplomatic problems and ruin my reputation. I've just taken office, do I need to be in such a hurry?"

That makes sense.

'That's quite practical; they actually voiced their true thoughts.'

'Hmm, that seems credible.'

"As a complete outsider, to be honest, it's true, if it were me, I'd stay in office for at least two years after taking office."

'Officials aren't fools.'

'Is this person going to be a scapegoat?'

'The Shinomiya Group has caught its big fish, but the British big fish might still be hiding.'

"Tch, with the Spencer family backing him, it's perfectly normal for him to do this." Eriri rolled her eyes.

“Something’s not right…” Sawamura Sayuri suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Is something wrong?" Eriri asked curiously.

"Think about it, how many normal people would know about the Spencer family?" Sayuri Sawamura asked Eriri.

The Shinomiya Group is well-known in Japan, but do ordinary people abroad really know that much about it?

Putting aside everything else, among the Fortune 500 companies, if you don't pay special attention, who can recite the top 20?

This is not a field that ordinary people understand. Only those who participate in it or work in it will deliberately try to understand it.

Why would ordinary Japanese people want to learn about a large British family?

In China as well, many people simply don't believe that the Shinomiya family is that rich, thinking that such a status is only possible in anime, and they only know a handful of famous companies.

What they didn't know was that in Japan, the Mitsui Group held a position equivalent to Samsung's in South Korea, with immeasurable assets.

This is a real-world phenomenon, but most people simply don't believe it, and are too lazy to even investigate, thinking that it's impossible because it doesn't exist in reality.

"So?" Eriri was taken aback.

“As long as most people don’t know about the Spencer family, or the interest groups and deeper matters behind them, what do you think will happen?” Sayuri Sawamura continued.

"meeting……"

"I'm just a scapegoat for this illegal deal; the real deal was with Leonard Spencer, a former diplomat."

“If this charge is proven, I could face life imprisonment. I don’t care how he retaliates against me anymore. Life imprisonment is worse than death anyway, so let everyone know the truth.”

"That bastard, he actually framed Dad!" Eriri's eyes widened.

My father's usual hobbies are helping her sell notebooks and throwing parties. When has he ever done anything like this?

Sawamura Sayuri's pretty face turned pale, and she clenched her teeth.

"Mom, it's okay. Dad's family won't abandon him..." Eriri quickly comforted Sayuri Sawamura when she saw that she was not in a good mood.

"If the Spencer family were in charge of this, do you think they would say that?" Sawamura Sayuri stared intently at the screen. "What on earth is the Spencer family up to? Why are they making him take the blame for nothing? Won't this discourage the others?"

Chapter 299 Rival

This kind of person should have been abandoned. What makes him think he can convince the Spencer family to protect him even at the risk of family discord?

Although Leonard was dispensable to the Spencer family, having only joined after a falling out, he had at least put in the effort over the years, and his career as a diplomat was neither particularly meritorious nor detrimental.

He wouldn't be ignored or given any special treatment within the family, so theoretically he shouldn't become a scapegoat.

Eugene must have gone through the approval of the Spencer family's higher-ups before doing something like this; otherwise, he would be committing suicide.

"Mom, what, what should we do?" Eriri panicked.

"It's alright, these kinds of things take a long time to investigate." Sawamura Sayuri broke out in a cold sweat: "Don't worry, we have nothing to fear.

She was just trying to comfort Eriri.

Frame someone for something like this, isn't it easy? Even if there's no evidence, they can conjure it up for you, and it will be solid evidence.

Since this involves two countries, the leaders of both countries will definitely reach some agreement, compromise, and give the public an explanation.

And Leonard was the one who compromised, the one who gave an explanation!

"I'm going to make a phone call." Sayuri Sawamura stood up and said to Eriri, "I'll handle this. Just pretend nothing happened and keep drawing, okay?"

"I...I also want to help..."

"Nonsense! What help can you possibly be in this kind of situation?" Sayuri Sawamura said with a stern face. "To give you an example, this involves his life. Even if you gave your life to the devil, it wouldn't be enough! Besides, how will we live if you die? Don't go to the devil, understand?"

Thinking about her experience of being tricked, Eriri quickly nodded.

Sawamura Sayuri promptly returned to her room, dialed a number, but the other end hung up on her.

She frowned slightly, dialed another number, and hung up again.

I tried several times, but none of the calls went through.

She knew that the Spencer family was determined to make Leonard take the blame.

She gritted her teeth, pulled out a number, and this time the call was answered quickly.

"Oh, my dear little Lily, why are you calling me so early? Don't you know that insomnia is a woman's greatest enemy?"

The time difference is eight hours; it's 1 p.m. here, but it's only early morning there.

"Einzworth, what exactly is going on with the Spencer family? Why did they frame Leonard? Was it your doing?" Sawamura Sayuri asked decisively.

She had no choice but to make that call.

The Spencer family wouldn't answer the phone, so she had to contact this person.

The identity of this person is actually quite simple: she is Leonard Spencer's childhood sweetheart. Back then, Sayuri stole Leonard away from her, and now she is married and has a daughter.

Her daughter, Rita Einzworth, is also blonde and has a figure that completely surpasses Eriri's, which is something she and Sayuri always boast about.

Eriri's English is poor, while Korita's Japanese is good, which gives her more reason to mock Sayuri.

She may not be as good at stealing men as Xiaobaihe, but she's far superior at raising the next generation.

Her daughter also studies painting and is quite good at it. However, if they are both at the high school level, Eriri's artistic skills are not as good as her daughter's.

After all, Eriri didn't have much pressure when she was learning to draw, while that girl grew up under terrifying oppression, so it was impossible for her not to succeed.

"Reinhard is in trouble? What are you talking about?" Einzworth's voice sounded puzzled.

"Stop pretending! A Spencer came to Japan as a diplomat and smuggled goods, but it turned out that Leonard was responsible. The Spencer family has remained silent. What did Leonard do to offend the Spencer family?" Sayuri Sawamura gritted her teeth and said, "Don't tell me you didn't know about this. Your family is considered a prominent family in England."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Am I the kind of person who jokes about something like this?"

“I really don’t know. I’ll go ask around and investigate properly!” Einzworth said in a deep voice.

"Well, it would be best to take a nap, put on some makeup, and go when Leonard is executed, then come and see him off."

"I'll go right now!"

"Tell them to call me back and state their demands directly..."

pat!

Eindsworth hung up the phone.

Hearing her say that, Sayuri Sawamura breathed a sigh of relief.

It's better for this woman to make a scene than for her to wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Most importantly, she herself is in the UK, and her husband's family and her own family are quite influential, which makes things more convenient.

If Sayuri goes to England on her own, and there she wants to give up on Leonard, something bad might happen.

I never imagined I'd have to ask my love rival for help one day.

Fortunately, even though they weren't married, their childhood friendship remained, otherwise Sayuri Sawamura wouldn't know what to do.

She had a bit of a headache. It was clearly a deal between the Shinomiya family and the Spencer family, so how did Leonard get dragged into it...?

Lily fell into deep thought.

Could it be just luck?

Now she knows that it was her and Eriri's bad luck that affected her husband, causing him to develop a whole host of health problems and be bedridden.

Could the fact that the person thought of scapegoating Leonard and that the Spencer family abandoned Leonard also have something to do with luck?

in fact……

It really does.

Eugene said that if such a drug existed, the Spencer family head, unless he was completely stupid, wouldn't let him pass the buck without even seeing the goods; he would have to confirm it first.

But this simple thing was selectively forgotten; he was thinking that Leonard was useless anyway.

What does this prove? It must be due to luck!

Luck is a mysterious thing. Good luck can lower the enemy's intelligence, while bad luck can increase the enemy's intelligence, which can be detrimental to oneself.

After understanding the reason, Sayuri Sawamura gritted her teeth.

He has to get through this, otherwise, given Leonard's condition, he will surely die. He can't even leave his hospital bed right now!

How did the Spencer-Shinomiya deal get exposed?

Wait a minute, didn't this whole thing start because they tried to shift the blame to Yukinoshita Haruno, and that's how it got to this point?

At first, she didn't pay much attention; her mind was entirely on her husband. She never imagined that the Spencer family's business dealings were related to them.

Now that everything is connected, everything becomes clear.

Yukinoshita, Yukinoshita...

Sawamura Sayuri felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
