From then on, Olivia's feelings towards Orson changed from curiosity to admiration, and finally, to love.

"Hehe." Olivia opened her cabinet, took out Orson's photo, and stroked it gently with her fingers.

This was obtained by her from the members of the Orson Fan Club, and she was the one who founded the Orson Fan Club.

"Orson, now we can finally be together..."

……

On the other side, Orson sneezed for some reason.

Alas, the weather suddenly turned cold and it’s raining. If I don’t pay attention, I might catch a cold.

Orson thought so and took a sip of hot tea.

(PS: Everyone must take care of their health recently. In addition, the author is very quiet! There will be no interruption in updating, and there will be no book cuts! If I say it will be on the shelves next week, it will be on the shelves next week, and I will never break my promise!)

(As for why Olivia, as the president of the fan club, doesn't recognize the elf lady in front of her, it's because the fan club is very large and the founder deliberately concealed his name, so this is the case. It's not a plot bug.)

Chapter 58: Sowing discord

Tyrell came to Donnie's dormitory with his punishment.

"I'm sorry, Master Donny, I messed up again this time..." Tyrell said this and lowered his head silently.

"You know that too." Danny snorted coldly, but he wasn't too angry this time. "It's okay. I didn't expect you to succeed this time."

"I'd be surprised if you could really get Orson out of the position of student council president."

"Thank you, Master Tony." Tyrell originally thought that he would be beaten up by Tony, or at least scolded, but he did not expect that Tony was in a particularly good mood today.

"Okay, help me... No, find someone to help me deliver a letter to Junior Litt. I plan to invite him out for dinner so we can exchange some feelings." Tony said as he took out a letter and handed it to Tyrell.

"Remember, find a stranger who doesn't know Li Te to deliver the child. Otherwise, if Li Te doesn't come, I will hold you responsible."

"Okay." Tyrell nodded and walked out of the room.

Then, Donny posed a few times in front of the bedroom mirror, and after making sure that his appearance for the day was fine, he prepared to go out.

Today's event was not just about having lunch and chatting with Li Te, there was also a more important banquet waiting for him in the evening.

That's why he was in a good mood.

……

At noon, in the high-end and elegant restaurant of the Imperial College, Lit sat stiffly at one side of the dining table, and opposite her was Donnie, who had a ferocious look on his face but pretended to be elegant.

"Mr. Litt, I heard that Duke Lucius took you home recently?" Donnie took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said with a smile.

"Yeah." Litt chewed the steak on the plate and nodded.

She has become numb to this issue. Whether her classmates do it intentionally or unintentionally, they always mention this matter when they see her or chat with her. Over time, Li Te has gotten used to it.

"It's really pitiful." Donnie said this, as if he had empathy with Litt, and sighed. "Living in the countryside for so long, life must be very hard. It can't be compared to living in the Duke's house."

His tone was not as provocative as Tyrell's at the time, but it really carried a hint of emotion, as if he was sad for Litt.

"It's not that exaggerated...the countryside is still pretty nice." said Litt.

"I know that someone like me who is used to the life of an aristocrat cannot understand your living environment at that time, but at least you are the son of the Duke now, right?" Tony said this, smiled and raised his glass to Litt.

"A drink?"

"No, thanks." Li Te waved his hand. "I don't drink. I'm not used to it."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it later." Seeing that Litt refused, Tony didn't say much, but put down the wine glass with a smile.

"Um, Senior Donnie, I wonder why you came to see me this time..."

"Oh? Master Li Te wants to talk business now?" Hearing this, Donnie looked at Li Te.

Then he said, "To be honest, Master Lit, I happen to know some information about Duke Lucius's family."

"What do you mean?" Lit looked at Donny in confusion.

Seeing that Litt was interested, Donny lowered his voice to a level that only the two of them could hear.

"Rumor has it that at that time, your biological mother, the Duke's first wife, Margaret, only gave birth to you, a son."

Li Te's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Although Master Orson also has black hair and purple eyes, he doesn't look alike to Duke Lucius, right?"

"So, Master Orson is not actually Lucius' biological son. He is a substitute for you that Duke Lucius found by mistake."

As he said this, Donnie's tone was full of temptation.

"Master Lit, think about it. You should have been the Duke's only son. Everything in the future of the Dukedom of Antica should have been yours."

"But Orson took your place, causing you to live a hard life as a farmer for the past 18 years."

"If it wasn't Orson, Duke Lucius would have expanded the search area so that he could have found you in the hands of your adoptive parents and brought you back to live a pampered life."

"If it weren't for Orson, you would be a young master admired by others now, instead of being bullied and having to hide under the protection of others, right?"

Lit listened to what Donnie said, his expression trembling.

"Of course, since it is Master Orson who is protecting you, Master Leete, you will inevitably become somewhat dependent on Master Orson and feel that he will not harm you. I can understand that."

"But, what if, I mean what if, Master Orson's goal is to train you, Lit, into a puppet who obeys his orders, so he treats you so well?"

Donnie said this, smiled, stood up, and left the restaurant.

Lit sat there in a daze.

……

Donnie was in a very happy mood all afternoon.

The reason why he chose to stop abruptly and leave immediately was to let Lit think for himself.

I won't give him an answer, but I will guide him in the direction of "Orson will harm himself."

It is said that a thousand-mile dam can be breached by an ant hole. He is now digging this "ant hole". In the future, when the rift between the two becomes larger and larger, the dam will collapse and the brothers will fight for power.

Donnie couldn't help but want to laugh out loud when he thought about what might happen to the Stranik family in the future.

It was almost evening. Donny stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself again and again. After making sure that he looked neat and tidy, he walked out the door.

When he arrived at the door, a group of followers were already waiting there. Most of them were the sons and daughters of the earl.

Because their parents were vassals of the Duchy of Naples, they had to take on the responsibility of accompanying Master Donny when they studied at the Imperial Academy.

Tyrell was not among them because his face had not recovered yet. The banquet that Donnie was going to attend this time was very important, and he would not go there with an eye-catching pig's head.

"Let's go." He said this and walked out of the school with his followers.

……

On the other hand, after returning to the dormitory in the afternoon, Li Te began to think about what Donnie said this morning.

Before, Xiao An had also warned himself not to trust Orson too much.

But, can I really not trust Brother Orson?

At this time, Orson pushed open Litt's door and scared her.

"Ah, Lit." Orson, who was standing outside the door, was wearing a formal suit for the first time. He straightened his collar and looked at Lit. "I have a party tonight and may be back a little late. You can eat something by yourself tonight."

"Ah, okay." Li Te nodded.

"Yeah." Orson said, and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said to Lit: "Um, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday."

"I interfered too much in your life, Li Te, your life should be your own choice. I won't do this next time."

After saying that, he smiled at Lit, then closed the door and walked out.

Chapter 59: Chelinina is forced to attend the banquet

Chelinina has been living a good life recently. The Chamber of Commerce's business is booming, and the two business organizations she founded are also thriving. It can be said that everything is moving in a stable and positive direction.

If we continue to develop at this pace, our regional chapter should be able to rank among the annual chapters of various regions by the end of the year.

She will collect the top three, and before the agreed time expires next year, she will turn the situation around and turn the Antica branch of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce into the most valuable branch of the entire chamber of commerce.

At that time, I will also join the competition among the heirs with force.

Until a few days ago, she received a letter from her father Louis.

My father will hold a banquet in Saint Laurent City and invites Chelinina to attend.

The wording of the letter was very firm, and her two brothers had arrived in Saint Laurent a few days in advance, leaving no room for Chelinina to refute.

As Louis' daughter, Chelinina had no choice but to agree to go to Saint Laurent.

She already had a premonition in her heart that this banquet might not be a good thing for her.

……

At night, Chelinina changed into a beautiful evening dress, which made her temperament more mature.

Afterwards, she took a carriage to the banquet venue.

This is a well-known hotel in the wealthy area of ​​​​Saint Laurent City. Louis booked the entire hotel to hold the banquet.

The carriage stopped at the door of the hotel. Chelinina took a deep breath, then got off the carriage and walked into the hotel.

The dinner has not started yet, but as the host of the banquet, the Bonaventura family must arrive early.

"Long time no see, sister." As soon as they entered the hotel, a handsome young man in an evening gown, with red hair and golden eyes, looked at Chelinina who walked in and greeted her with a smile.

He is Celinina's second brother, Lawrence Bonaventura.

"Well, long time no see, second brother." Chelinina forced a smile.

At this time, a pot-bellied man came over from a distance, smiled kindly and looked at the two of them.

"Brother, sister." The man in front of him was the eldest son of the Bonaventura family, Mark Bonaventura. "Long time no see, how have you been doing recently?"

Having said that, before the two of them could reply, Mark continued, "Ah, I've been very busy lately. You don't know how much work there is in Prussia."

"Our Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce has a lot of business in Prussia. I have to travel to different places every day to do business. I am really exhausted. Sigh... It is a rare opportunity that my father called us back this time, so I can have a chance to rest."

Seeing Mark being so busy, Chelinina smiled and said, "Brother, you are so busy every day, the revenue of the Prussian branch must be very high."

"Oh, of course." Mark nodded. "After all, Prussia's economy is the best in the region besides the royal territory. The branch I'm in charge of has Prussia as its backing. Even if we don't do anything, the revenue we generate is higher than some remote places."

At this point, Mark seemed to have thought of something and waved his hand hurriedly.

"Ah, sorry, Chelinina, I'm not talking about the Duchy of Antica, I'm talking about the Duchy of Lucia in the northeast. Don't get me wrong, you've tried very hard, and we all see it."

Looking at Mark's poor performance, Chelinina just sneered and said nothing.

What about the Duchy of Lucia? Even if Lucia is bad, it has developed much better than Antica. Isn't this just pointing out that the economic performance of the area under his charge is poor?

As if realizing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Lawrence hurried out to mediate.

"Alright, alright, big brother, you also know that the place my younger sister is in charge of is not a good place to begin with. She is very responsible for taking over there."

"Hmph, you want to be responsible, right?" Mark snorted when he heard this. "I think if my little sister wants to be responsible, she might as well find a good family to marry into so that our family can have a backer."

Sure enough, the reason why Mark was dissatisfied with Chelinina was because of this incident.

According to the inheritance law, Mark is the one with the greatest hope of inheriting the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce after Louis' death. He has already regarded the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce as his own, and therefore, he is eager for his sister to get married as soon as possible so that the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce can benefit from the marriage as soon as possible.

After saying those words, Mark walked towards the banquet hall.

Lawrence looked at Chelinina and said worriedly, "Little sister, don't take what big brother said seriously."

"But did you really make that bet with your father? To make the Antica branch rank first in revenue within two years."

"Yes." Chelinina nodded. "It is true."

"If you ask me, why not just give up?" Lawrence said, with a worried tone. "Little sister, you know that it's too late to start there. Even if you can really do it, it will take more than just two years."

"Why don't you take this opportunity to look for sons from other duke families? If you meet one you like, you can marry him off."

"Second brother." Chelinina looked at Lawrence, and the respect she had just shown was gone. "You also want me to withdraw from the position of succession, right?"

"No, little sister, I'm just worried about you..." Lawrence was about to explain when Chelinina turned and walked away.

"Oh." Lawrence stared at Chelinina's back and sighed.
