Chapter 119 Family members with their own ulterior motives

After listening to Su Fan's words, Ron's slight disgust towards old lady Carlotta turned into hostility.

There was no need for Xipu to lie to Su Fan, and there was even less need for Su Fan to lie to her.

So all along, it was Carlotta who imprisoned her biological mother in this mansion, and she called it taking care of her.

"Perhaps what she did was indeed to prevent the family from being associated with Lashe, but her motive was far less noble."

Su Fan took Ron's hand and walked into the garden behind the mansion.

The Mayfair family's mansion is very large, and even when many family members gather here, it doesn't feel crowded at all.

"She just couldn't get what she wanted, and she was jealous to the point of going crazy. If she was really favored by Lashe... hehe"

Su Fan didn't continue speaking.

He just felt around but found no signs of Lashe's activities.

Are you hiding because you are worried about being hunted down?

Just as Su Fan was thinking, a greeting came from the side of them.

A mother and daughter were walking towards them.

The mother was holding a bottle of wine, while the daughter was holding a glass of wine.

The two of them came forward to talk enthusiastically and introduced themselves.

"I like Los Angeles very much. I've been there before with my husband. If I had known you were still alive, we would have been able to meet you earlier."

Having said this, the woman opposite looked around.

"You should know why... She acts like you're no longer alive."

"I know."

The three of them talked about the situation within the family and then went on to talk about the recent cases of arson and murder.

Tessa, the daughter among mother and daughter.

She told Ron that these were the crimes of the witch hunters, who were looking for women who were addicted to witchcraft and would burn them at the stake.

"Now that our family finally has an heir like you... perhaps you can use your power to help those like us."

Tessa's eyes were full of envy and anticipation.

Ron didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"If you really want to help them, you should collect evidence and go to the police."

Tessa and her daughter looked at Su Fan in surprise.

The Mayfair family has always been ruled by women, and the status of men is not as high as that of ordinary families. In addition, Su Fan didn't speak from the beginning.

The two thought that this man was just a "prey" that Ron found on a whim, and did not take Su Fan seriously.

But I didn't expect him to answer for Ron.

Seeing that the two men were looking at Su Fan with strange eyes, Ron immediately hugged Su Fan's arm into his arms.

Su Fan looked normal.

Even better than Annie.

You can’t tell…thin branches bear fruit.

In this way, Tessa and her daughter finally understood the position of this Asian youth in Ron's heart.

"I'm sorry, Ron, you don't have to take what Tessa said to heart... Let's go."

When Tessa's mother noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, she immediately took Tessa away.

As for Su Fan and Ron, they continued walking inside the mansion.

On the way, Ron and Su Fan met Cortland again, whom they had met at the funeral.

The latter looked at Ron's appearance and was impressed by her long hair and eyes, which were exactly the same as her mother Dill's.

From Cortland's words and actions, Ron could feel that the man in front of him had a close relationship with his mother.

Gradually, she couldn't help but talk to him more.

"You are now the actual person in charge of this family, as for the house and property."

"You can contact me anytime. Coincidentally, I am in charge of the trust services for this family estate."

"You should inherit what your mother left behind..."

Before Cortlandt could finish his words, Carlotta interrupted him. A fierce argument broke out between the siblings, arguing over the dead Dill.

When they stopped, they found that Ron, who had been standing by, had left the scene at some point.

……

"We're just going to run away, is that okay?"

Ron originally wanted to wait and see, but when he saw Su Fan walking directly towards the gate, he hurried to catch up.

"Are you good at dealing with situations like that?"

Su Fan asked calmly without turning back.

"...I want to know more about this family."

"There's no need to rush to find out today."

Su Fan paused here and gave a meaningless smile.

"What do you think of this family?"

"…I can't see anything for now. Everyone maintains basic etiquette and social distance, except Carlotta."

Su Fan's tone sounded like just a casual chat, so Ron didn't think too much about it and answered the question based on his intuition.

After hearing this answer, Ron saw Su Fan turn his head and reveal a subtle expression.

"With your emotional intelligence, you'd better not work in a place like a hospital where there are all kinds of people."

"..."

Ron looked embarrassed and did not defend himself. Instead, he pretended to listen attentively.

"No one in this world can avoid the word 'interest' in their actions."

"You should also be able to see that their conversation can't avoid talking about Lashe, who has a blood contract with you."

When Ron heard this, she wanted to refute, but reason told her that Su Fan was telling the truth.

A Doctor of Medicine from Stanford University is indeed rare, but it is insignificant compared to a wealthy family with a long history and heritage.

The fact that she can control the demon Lashe and possess special powers is the fundamental reason why she is warmly greeted by others.

"That Cortland and Tessa and her daughter all hope that you can accept Lasher's power and become the new witch."

"Tessa is very simple. She just envies your extraordinary power and hopes that you can fulfill some ideal on her behalf."

Although this ideal is very stupid...

"But Cortlandt is somewhat intriguing...you should pay more attention to him."

Su Fan suddenly stopped talking.

According to the confession of the witch hunter he had dealt with before.

I'm afraid it was this Courtland who exposed Ron's mother's whereabouts and led another group of people to kill her.

But this news cannot be told to Ron for now.

This guy is very stubborn and doesn't seem like the type who can keep things to himself.

Su Fan still wanted to use her to fish, so at least he had to let her get familiar with the people in the family first.

It would be bad if we just fall out with each other and alert the enemy, and scare Lashe into leaving the family.

"It's all for supernatural power..."

There was a hint of disappointment in Ron's eyes.

Even though she was mentally prepared, she still had illusions about the Mayfair family.

But now it seems that this is just wishful thinking.

"What's missing?"

Su Fan smiled.

“Sometimes the connection between interests is more reliable than feelings.”

"This will actually make it easier for you to move around the Mayfair family."

"Since they want to get something from you, the initiative is in your hands."
