And what Kisaki Eri said next quickly turned her premonition into reality: "According to my investigation, Mr. Fujieda Kan'o's current marital status seems to be widower. I guess he hasn't been with you for long. As for your personal information, I have also looked it up through legal channels. It seems that you still use your original surname. It was your own decision to use the surname Fujieda, right?"

"This... this is Kan'o. He said he doesn't have much free time recently, and he will go with me to get the marriage certificate after a while..." Fujieda Moka stuttered.

"Really? That's a pity."

Kisaki Eri sighed and shook her head.

"Even I, a lawyer with more than ten years of experience, have to admit that the current laws still have some inhumane aspects in various regulations. If Miss Suhua you really haven't obtained the marriage certificate with Mr. Kan's wife, then Mr. Kan's estate will be inherited in full by his deceased wife's younger brother, Mr. Fujieda Shigeru."

"Are you serious, Lawyer Fei?"

The person who heard the news was not Fujieda Shigeru, but the old butler Ueki Sohachi who had been handcuffed.

Just as mentioned before, he watched the eldest lady and the young master grow up, so he naturally knew that the young master Fujieda Shigeru was deprived of his status as the family heir by the previous master because he was obsessed with literature and had no interest in managing the family business, and the huge family business was transferred to an outsider.

Now that Fujieda Kan'o is dead and Fujieda Soka has no right to inherit the estate, the Fujieda family has finally returned to the hands of the people who should have owned it, as if everything has returned to the way it was when they were little.

With a slight nod to indicate that what she said was true, Kisaki Eri no longer paid attention to the tearful butler Ueki who was muttering about how great he was. She turned around and delivered the final blow to the completely dazed Fujieda Moka.

"Of course, these commission fees still need to be settled by Miss Suhua herself. After all, the name on it is your real name on your ID card."

Chapter 78 Mingmei: Didn’t you say you liked me? (Knife in hand)

Butler Ueki was eventually taken away.

After all, no matter what age or reason, as long as the law is violated, there will be sanctions.

However, considering Butler Ueki's current age, even if he confessed to all his crimes, the sentence would not be too severe.

On the other hand, Serabel and Yukiko also received the agreed compensation from Fujieda Shigeru, a total of 10 million yen, in one lump sum.

It was 1:30 in the afternoon when we arrived, and it was almost evening when we returned.

Under the fiery red sunset at dusk, police cars parked outside the gate of a courtyard as beautiful as a European palace left the scene in an orderly manner.

Serabel and Yukiko left a little late because they had to settle the commission fees. When they came out, Inspector Megure and others had already driven back to the Metropolitan Police Department with Butler Ueki.

There were only two lonely cars left in front of the huge mansion.

Kisaki Eri and Xiaolan were originally preparing to leave, but when they saw through the fence that Serabelle and Yukiko came out of the villa and walked out along the central avenue surrounded by various flower beds, they stopped for a while.

"Hey, Eri, you guys haven't left yet?"

As she approached the courtyard gate, Yukiko was a little surprised to see her old classmates and future daughter-in-law waiting outside.

Hibiki hummed, then nodded and said, "Have you settled the accounts with them?"

"Yes, it's settled. Ten million has been deposited into the card."

Yukiko waved the credit card in her hand with a smile, but then became a little worried.

"But it seems like you haven't received it yet, Eri. I don't think Miss Suhua is good at making money. If she didn't inherit Fujieda Kan's estate, then your commission fee would be..."

"Having said that, saying that you can't get it is only temporary." Kisaragi smiled indifferently.

"No matter how well a woman like her hides her true feelings, her materialistic instinct will drive her to do all kinds of things. I'm afraid that during the time she was with Fujieda Mikio, she had already begged him to buy her a lot of brand-name and expensive items with all kinds of excuses."

"After all, she is a woman who can make a commission of 10 million on her own initiative. And judging from Fujieda Mikio's reaction after he learned about this, it seems that he dotes on her in every aspect."

"But-"

The undefeated queen of the legal profession suddenly changed the subject.

"Even if she sold all her belongings, she could only barely make up that much money. After all, the deadline for her to remit the money is only a few days away. If she wants to sell them quickly to raise money without a discount, it will probably be difficult for her to do so. I'm sure she will feel pain for a while."

"Oh, oh, oh, it's worthy of being called Yingli, so awesome!"

Yukiko couldn't help but applaud when she learned that her high school friend was so defensive.

She glanced at Serabelle, who had already returned to her car and started it, and waved with a smile.

"Then it's about time for us to leave. See you later, Eri and Ran~"

"See you later, Aunt Yukiko."

Xiaolan responded politely.

Perhaps because she had just earned 10 million and was in a pretty good mood, Yukiko didn't care about the suffix "Auntie" and turned around to get in the car while humming a little tune.

After a few seconds, accompanied by a low engine roar, the black Audi slowly drove away with its back to the sunset.

……

After leaving the Fujieda residence, Serabelle gradually increased the speed of the car.

He pressed the switch on the car door to close all the windows that had just been opened for ventilation, and glanced at Yukiko sitting in the passenger seat through the rearview mirror inside the car.

"So now we have the start-up capital?"

"Of course~"

Yukiko continued to hum her little tune, tapping away on her phone.

"But starting capital alone is useless. We have to confirm Chris Wynyard's schedule first. You have to know that big stars like us are very busy. Basically, we fly around the world every week. We may be in Japan this week, and in another country next week or even three days later. So we must know the other party's exact schedule in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to exchange foreign currency."

"Correction: 'they'," said Serabelle.

"why?"

Yukiko tilted her head.

She still hadn't figured out the logic.

"Sister Yukiko, haven't you retired from the entertainment industry?"

"I……"

The older girl's beautiful eyes suddenly widened after being choked.

"What's wrong with retiring? If you retire, you're no longer a big star. Many actors don't make movies anymore but still run around and participate in various shows. Is that not okay?"

"Then Sister Yukiko, will you participate?"

"..."

Another heavy blow.

But Yukiko still refused to admit defeat and argued with reason with raised eyebrows.

"What's the big deal? If I want, the show I want to be in can be staged from Broadway in the United States to the West End in London."

"Oh--"

"You do not believe?"

"No, I believe it."

"Ah……"

With a slightly arrogant snort, the older girl turned her head away to show that she didn't want to pay attention to anyone.

Serabelle had some quiet time, so she just concentrated on driving.

After perhaps just a few seconds, Yukiko suddenly came over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Eh."

"Ok?"

Serabelle glanced to the side to show that she was listening.

Yukiko pouted: "I'm talking to you, you just earned 10 million with your own ability, can't you show a little happier?"

"Fortunately."

Serabelle thought that it was only 10 million yen, which was about 50,000 pounds when converted into pounds.

As a native British man, why would he be so excited about 50,000 dollars?

"Then Sera-kun, you're really a strange person..." Yukiko held her cheeks with both hands and tilted her head to look at him, "It's completely different from when I got my first performance fee."

"What was Sister Yukiko like at that time?" Serabel asked.

"So happy, so happy!" The older girl clenched her fists and looked very happy. "Then I bought a lot of gifts for my parents, relatives and friends that day, and spent all the money."

"You are amazing."

"...Tsk."

With a soft smacking sound, Yukiko fell silent, which was uncharacteristic of her.

Just when Serabelle felt that something was not right, two green fingers poked over from the side like chopsticks, pressing against the corners of his mouth and moving upwards.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a voice that was so playful that it seemed not to belong to its age.

"No, you have to be happy, come on and smile~"

"Hey... stop for a minute, I'm driving, sis!"

……

Half an hour later, the black Audi slowly stopped in front of the entrance of the villa at 21-1, Beika-cho 2-chome.

Inside the car, Yukiko unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door and prepared to get out.

Just before her toes touched the ground, she retracted her toes slightly, looked back at Serabel, who was sitting in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with one hand and showing no intention of stopping the car, with a provocative smile on her lips.

"Since we're here now and it's already this late, why don't you just stay for dinner?"

She added to herself, shaking her head.

"Sister, your cooking skills are pretty good, right?"

"No."

Serabelle refused decisively.

In order to prevent Yukiko from further causing trouble, he even took out the text message sent by Akai Mary on his mobile phone and waved it in front of her.

"Look, my family is urging us to come over."

"Yeah, what a pity..."

Seeing that Serabelle really had no intention of joking with her, Yukiko curled her lips and chose to give up honestly.

"Forget it, let's do it next time~"

As she said this, she came closer again, put her hand gently on the boy's head and rubbed it like petting a cat's fur before happily jumping out of the car, humming a little tune and walking into the villa with her hands behind her back in a very girlish manner.

Of course, it was impossible for Serabelle to do something like watching the other person disappear completely from her sight before looking away.

However, just as he turned the car around and was about to leave, he saw Mingmei, who seemed to have just finished dinner and came out to throw away kitchen waste, standing next to the public trash can placed across the road at the door of Agasa's house in the next block 22. She tilted her head and looked at him in confusion, her hands still in the posture of throwing away the trash.

Chapter 79 Mingmei combo!

Serabelle originally planned to drive directly back to the hotel for dinner, but now that she was stopped, it didn't seem a good idea to just step on the accelerator and drive away, so she had to stop the car and roll down the window.

The two of them talked through the car window, one sitting in the car and the other standing outside.

"Eh? So Sera-kun went to do a commission with Ms. Yukiko?"

On the roadside in front of Agasa's house, Miyano Akemi, who had just thrown away the garbage, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after listening to Serabel's explanation.

"I see, so it's because of work..."

It was a completely subconscious reaction, and she probably didn't even notice it.

"Are you used to living with Dr. Agasa?" asked Serabell.

"Yeah, I'm quite used to it."

Maybe it was because she hadn't seen Serabelle for a while, and Miyano Akemi herself was not the type of person who was socially anxious, so she was quickly opened up by a simple sentence.

"Just like Sera-kun said, the doctor is actually a very nice and interesting person. Although he often does some weird things that lead to accidents, he is still a very good person overall."

As a former bank clerk who had to come into contact with all kinds of people every day, she naturally knew how arrogant and unreasonable some elderly people in Japanese society were.

Serabelle nodded: "That's good—"

Miyano Akemi had only said half of the word "good" when she suddenly said "oh" as if she remembered something. She raised her index finger to touch the corner of her mouth, and a small light bulb lit up above her head.

"By the way, Sera-kun, have you had dinner?"

"not yet……"
