Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment

Chapter 1914: Being Punitive

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This time, Earl William’s heart skipped a beat.

Duke Buckingham had not only received some news but had also obtained surveillance footage of the scene.

Then the situation would be complicated.

His brain began to work crazily. Then, he savored Duke Buckingham’s words and said in fear and trepidation, “Your Excellency, I admit that I did receive a call from Philip just now.”

“But at that time, Philip told me that he was pursuing a girl, and he was beaten up by a Dragon Country person. The Dragon Country person was very ruthless. He wanted to get back at the man, so he called over all of his bodyguards. In the end, he was stopped by a Royal Agent of the Sun Never Sets Empire…”

“This is completely different from what you described, that Philip had failed to woo the girl and threatened to destroy her family and make her beg to be his dog. When someone stood up for him, he immediately ordered his bodyguards to humiliate and tear the person apart in public like mad dogs.”

“You also know that I’m getting more and more muddle-headed now…”

“When I heard your description, I thought that these were two completely different things…”

On the other end of the phone, Duke Buckingham was obviously not satisfied with this answer. “You still want to quibble at this point!”

“I’m not trying to quibble. It’s just that my brain is getting worse and worse, Your Grace.” Earl William quickly acted pitifully. “Just yesterday, I forgot where I was going and what I was doing more than once.”

“My family’s private doctor also told me that my signs of dementia are getting more and more serious. I need to pay more attention.”

“As for Philip, that child, my impression of him is still at the stage where he was particularly obedient and sensible.”

“When he said those words to me just now, my first reaction was that I thought he was being bullied and needed an old man like me to support him. That’s why I flew into a rage and said some extreme words.”

Earl William remembered very clearly that although Duke Buckingham had a high position and influence among the many dukes, he had a huge weakness as a person. He was nostalgic and easily soft-hearted.

Many times, even if the people around him did something wrong, as long as it was not a matter of principle, he would quickly let them off as long as they acted pathetic and pitiful.

Now, he was acting pitifully and defending himself by saying that he had dementia and was deceived by Philip. He thought Duke Buckingham would soften his tone a little, but he did not expect Duke Buckingham to laugh coldly over the phone.

“Dementia? Blinded by Philip? I think that your words are very clear now, and your voice on the phone just now was full of energy.”

“I’ll send you the video of the scene now. Tell me, how are you going to deal with your Philip and this matter?”

As he spoke, he sent over a clear recording of the scene very quickly.

In an instant, Earl William was at a loss.

Because the situation was very obvious.

Pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be muddle-headed, and trying to get away with it — all these tried and tested tricks in the past — had failed to work on Duke Buckingham.

Duke Buckingham had called this time. He was furious and wanted to denounce him.

Looking at the surveillance video, he saw his precious Philip’s arrogant, despotic, and perverted expression, as well as the shocked and angry expressions of many diners. He sounded bitter. “What do you mean, Your Excellency?”

“What I can tell you is that the young man in the video is a friend of mine. He’s also Old Martin’s savior and an honored guest of the Empire’s royal family.” Duke Buckingham’s voice was still cold.

“Now, it’s not your turn to ask me what I want. You should be the one to tell me how you’re going to deal with this matter!”

“Also, how are you going to give me and all the citizens of the Sun Never Sets an explanation?”
