Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 553 - 190: Very Important Letter _4
Chapter 553: Chapter 190: Very Important Letter _4
Only an interesting spirit can become a friend.
…
His thoughts took a turn.
After reading the content of the letter, Leonard Churchill caught the general drift—Anne was going to break off her engagement.
He also involuntarily wondered—would she succeed?
Or would she get a severe battering from her family and then carry on with the marriage?
Despite effortlessly persuading somebody to yearn for freedom with a few casual lines in his reply, he realized that the system and the controlling power that the Noble Families had far surpassed the imagination of the lower-class folks.
Even a girl like Catherine Carter, with her strong determinations and superior capabilities, almost died several times during her attempt to call off her marriage and pursue her own life. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
It’s even harder for an ordinary noble lady.
Leonard Churchill is well aware of this fact.
Just as he was contemplating how to reply to his pen pal to improve her situation.
New content appeared on the new signature.
Seeing the opening line, Leonard Churchill realized that it was definitely a second letter.
It seemed like a long time had passed since the last letter was written.
Strange.
He continued reading while pondering.
‘Apologies, Mr. Sunny, for not writing to you in a while. There seems to be some ‘postage’ issue and I have yet to receive your reply. But I have so much to say because I have experienced a lot lately. As I mentioned in my last letter, I rejected the arranged marriage. Consequently, the elders in my family were angry, even my parents thought I was being childish and reckless…but I insisted. Upon hearing the news, the other family made quite the unpleasant feedback in the upper-class society. Clan elders were furious that I ruined their chance to move up the social ladder. I have faced resentment and difficulties from the clan… To make me surrender, they threatened to strip me of my family name, confiscating all of my coming of age rewards, essentially, to take everything from me… I did not yield. In the end, they kicked me out of the house (￣＾￣)…’
This segment of the letter even came with a smug face.
Looking at the emoji, Leonard Churchill felt rather peculiar.
The plot turned out as expected.
Rich noble families have many means to deal with disobedient daughters.
‘Cutting off the rice’ is the most direct choice.
Those noble ladies who had led a life of luxury from their childhood would find it difficult to survive without family support.
Not everyone is suitable for adventures or capable of seeking freedom.
Leonard Churchill didn’t really know much about Anne’s situation.
Just as he was wondering if he had unwittingly caused misfortune for his pen pal, another line of words appeared.
The direction of the conversation changed abruptly.
‘Ha, I lied to you! I am super happy, haha… I am extremely satisfied with my current life. I can’t thank them enough for chasing me away! You know, Mr. Sunny, I have experienced true freedom. They have expelled me from the family thinking that I would beg forgiveness and return. But I didn’t. Coincidentally, I graduated from the academy and chose to open a shop far away from my family… I applied those quirky knowledges you taught, mainly targeting the lower market, expanding into a civilian market that Commerce Guilds despised. I soon stood firm and made quite an amount of money…’
‘After carefully studying those methods, I became aware of how intricate and sublime they are. My god, you must be a scholar to have studied human nature so thoroughly. Nobody would dare to believe that the low-end market, which they despise, can bring that much money. wow … If I didn’t say it out, nobody would know my Commerce Guild made that much money.’
‘You don’t need to feel guilty, my choice to follow this path was not your ‘incitement’, instead, you genuinely lightened up my life’s path. You are my benefactor. Moreover, my beloved grandfather secretly helped me a lot. He initially thought it was just a phase, and then… Haha, Mr. Sunny, can you imagine the surprised expression my grandfather had when he fraudulently came to see me and his beard fell off with shock ＾＿＾ This also made me even more determined to continue my path in the future…’
‘…’
Reading up to this point, a slight smile appeared at the corners of Leonard Churchill’s mouth.
He could almost see a blossoming flower flourishing towards the sun through these lines.nConfident and cheerful,
Becoming stronger and more robust over time.
Not to mention the pirated business methods he taught her, the fact that Anne, who was expelled from her family, was not discouraged but instead faced the difficulties, had shown admirable courage and ability.
She intends to turn adversity into her ideal life;
The difficulties and hurdles this girl has experienced are far more than what she’s written in these letters.
But in this very moment,
Leonard Churchill suddenly became curious about what kind of girl this mysterious pen pal might be.
Innocent, witty, tough, and lively…
In short, she showcased many shining points of human character.
She really is an interesting girl.
…
Leonard Churchill was carefully reading the letters.
He started looking forward to the subsequent letters.
However, the content of the letters that followed was not so cheerful.
‘But the bad news is, my Commerce Guild has begun to develop, accumulating more and more wealth and resources, and in the end, it could no longer be concealed. Although in a remote small city, the reputation of the Commerce Guild is growing. The family found out, and everyone was shocked. Even though I like to see their fly-eating faces… it has also attracted a lot of criticisms. The clan elders want to take my shop back, saying it is part of the family industry; They also said that I, a girl, am not suitable for business; they also said it was for my own good, integrating into the family Commerce Guild is a better prospect for development… But clearly, I didn’t use any resources from the family when I opened this shop, it started from my savings and selling lots of my favorite jewelry from when I was a child.’
