Chapter 65: 65

 

Ford was immediately surrounded by the gazes of everyone in the square. He happened to be standing at a high point in the square and the scorching gazes around him made sweat run down his back.

“Miss Irina.” Ford controlled his slightly trembling hands, still looking at Irina with a gentle expression, “You were originally a decent lady, but I can now see that you are not a decent lady. What does it look like? Misleading us, nearly damaging Reverend Bruce’s reputation and doing such an indecent thing. You’ve come to this point, are you going to drag me into a mess as well? I can swear to God, today is the first time I’ve seen you, so please don’t be misleading.” (I wish God would strike you down for breaking a commandment. Thou shall not call His name in vain.)

Irina looked at Ford and when she heard his words, her face instantly paled, her hands trembled and she looked back at Alia, who tried to move away from her. At this time, she (Alia) must not drag Ford out, otherwise she will become a person who is scheming.

“Irina, I thought you were so pitiful that I brought you here to get justice for you. I didn’t expect you to be such a person and you made me misunderstand Reverend Bruce. You really disappointed me!” When Irina looked like she was about to say something, she immediately tried to clear herself. (Stupid idiotic witch, I just hate her so much. So stupid yet trying to deceive herself that she’s the smartest and purest of them all)

Irina only felt despair at this time. The two people in front of her changed their faces so fast and she had no evidence at all, but Irina was not a person to be provoked. Since these two people didn’t want to involve themselves, then she can only use unreasonable methods.

But Ford has been a veteran for many years so Irina’s thoughts are obvious to him. He understands that he can’t make a woman like Irina anxious so he doesn’t wait for Irina to react and he immediately said, “However, Miss Irina, you are a lady, although you have done such a disgusting thing, I believe that the Duke and Reverend Bruce are both broad-minded people and they absolutely won’t punish you.”

Ford played it very well and immediately threw the matter onto Evan and Duke Wilson. And when Irina heard this, that there was still room to turn around, and since she didn’t dare to expose her dealings with Ford, she immediately looked at Evan with a face of remorse, and said with a cry, “Reverend Bruce, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t ruin your reputation. Please forgive me. You know, I have always been a hard worker, my parents died early, my husband died early but you were the first person who cared about me, that’s why I did those crazy things. And your rejection of my advances made me unable to accept it, that’s why I did these stupid things. You are a noble person and will definitely forgive my actions, right?” (Disgusting )

Irina looked at Evan with hope, in order not to be imprisoned. She did such a shameful thing before, but at this time Irina can’t even care.

Evan sneered in his heart, after causing his reputation to suffer such a big blow, she wants to avoid a disaster with an apology. I really don’t know what these people think of me as? A Saint?

It’s just that Evan didn’t have time to speak before Duke Wilson spoke first, “Humph!” He looked at Irina and Ford and snorted coldly, “You did these things for a vicious reason. And what about poor Reverend Bruce? He didn’t do anything, and he didn’t deserve to be hurt like this by you! Do you actually have the face to plead with Reverend Bruce for such a hateful person?!”

Duke Wilson’s words were sharp and almost mean, but the residents of the town all agreed with a look of excitement. These people originally lived at the bottom of the society, and elegant words were really not suitable for such occasions.

Irina was startled by the high-pitched scolding around her and turned around to look for Alia, but found that Alia had been taken away by Dr. Hester at this time, and she was alone standing there, surrounded by a square full of hateful townspeople. (I sincerely pray and I hope that the stupid witch doesn’t show up ever again.)

Evan stood aside and watched, with a slight look of hesitation on his face, as if he was becoming a little soft-hearted, but his heart was very indifferent. If it wasn’t for Duke Wilson’s arrangements today, it would have been painful for him to be surrounded by these people at this time and the person who would have received the scolding would probably have been himself.

Duke Wilson has been watching Evan’s movements all the time and the hesitant look on his face is naturally in the Duke’s panoramic view. He is afraid that Evan will really forgive her, not to mention the fact that Ford is staring at him, and he immediately speaks to Sheriff Chandler who is nearby, “Sheriff, you should take this lady to the police station first. She framed a gentleman in front of so many people and must be punished.” This kind of punishment is either fines or imprisonment. At first glance, Irina has no property, and most people like her will be in police custody for a few months.

Sheriff Chandler originally came to back up Evan, for fear that this incident would develop to an unpredictable level, but at this time, the reversal of the drama made him stunned but Duke Wilson’s words immediately made him sober.

Sheriff Chandler came out in a panic and the police officers around him looked a little stunned, but Sheriff Chandler was considered to have passed through the big field so he immediately adjusted, coughed a few times, and turned towards the officers. He waved his hands a few times, and the police officers rushed towards Irina like a wolf.

Irina was in dire straits at this time. These townspeople are not decent people and Irina has never heard such swear words in her life. She was trembling with fright, and the police officers who looked fierce came at her at this time, but it became Irina’s life-saving straw. She was almost scrambling to be caught by the two police officers, who held her arms tightly and dragged her out of the crowd.

Sheriff Chandler frowned and looked at the almost weak-looking lady in front of him and sighed a few times in his heart. It’s really a disaster. It doesn’t seem like a good thing for Reverend Bruce to be so handsome.

“Take Miss Irina to the police station.” Sheriff Chandler said solemnly.

Several police officers answered ‘yes’ and took Irina into the carriage and went towards the police station.

Ford stood on the high platform, watching the police station’s carriage leave and gradually narrowed his eyes, he turned his head to look at Duke Wilson,with a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes. He is so determined to deal with Irina, isn’t he? Wanting to involve himself, although Irina has no evidence against him, she has been taken to the police station and Duke Wilson is there, so there may be some ‘evidence’ that will come out.

Duke Wilson didn’t evade Ford’s gaze at all and gave him a straight look with a sneer at the corners of his lips. Even such a stupid person could still be tolerated repeatedly by Evan and he even violated his own conscience for his sake, this is really unforgivable to Duke Wilson, and all those who make Evan’s heart sad are unforgivable.

Duke Wilson looked at Evan standing in the center of the square with a burning look. This person can only be his own, his alone! All his sorrows, joys and emotions can only belong to him! Duke Wilson thought so with great satisfaction. (I totally agree with you )

At this time, Evan was busy talking to the people around him who came up to apologize to him. He had the most appropriate smile on his face, and his tone was gentle and tolerant, which made these innocent townspeople feel more guilty. (Hypocrites, I betcha if something similar happens again, they will behave the exact same way they did)

Evan actually disdains these apologies in his heart. Although these people are simple and easy to deceive, if they are placed on the opposite side of his position, they are the most terrifying force because their understanding of the world is too narrow. Their thoughts are too simple and they harbor the simplest concept of good and evil in the world, but they do not have the ability to distinguish between good and evil, so they are very easily agitated.

It’s like now, they face him with such guilt, but they don’t care about what kind of person he is, they only care about what they see, and never care about what they can’t see, such people are the most terrible, especially since they are the majority of this world’s population.

In Evan’s view, the so-called villains are just those idiots who expose themselves.

When an old lady held Evan’s hand tremblingly to tell him her respect for God, Evan also felt a strong gaze hovering over him and he turned around, but found that Duke Wilson was talking to an old gentleman beside him and Ford was standing aside with his head bowed, clearly distinguishing himself from the old gentlemen and Duke Wilson.

Looking at this scene, Evan’s lips twitched. Today, this incident has helped him achieve two of his goals, one is to clarify his reputation, and the other…

Although the group of local gentlemen are old-fashioned and rigid, they are not as simple to deceive as these townspeople. Ford caused such a big scene but it ended up like this. Even if the words that Irina complained before were blocked by Ford, as far as these people are concerned, the fact that Ford is the black hand behind it, is already a certainty to them.

The circle of gentlemen is very small, and Ford made such a big fuss, so it will not be difficult for the bishop to know if he wants to know. This is even more interesting.

The review conference was like a farce and it came and went quickly. Evan returned to the church before dinner, but before he could have dinner, Duke Wilson came to see him.

Duke Wilson’s arrival this time is very low-key, and he is not riding in a carriage that he usually travels in, but another black carriage that looks very inconspicuous. It looks like a rental carriage on the streets of London, very unpretentious. In fact, when he got off the carriage, Evan’s servant, Tom’s eyes almost dropped out of their sockets.

Evan didn’t have time to come out to greet him so Duke Wilson walked straight into Evan’s living room. Because he didn’t pay attention, Evan’s living room was very messy at this time and Evan stood at the door of the living room, embarrassed. He smiled and said, “Lord Duke, you…why are you here?”

It was rare to see Evan so embarrassed so Duke Wilson was amused, he smiled and said warmly, “I haven’t seen you for many days so I wanted to come and see you. You…won’t blame me?” Duke Wilson looked at Evan carefully. He had ignored Evan these days in order to deal with Ford, and although he knew that Evan was not a stingy person, he still had some worry.

Duke Wilson’s question was a bit inexplicable, but Evan strangely understood it, and he smiled slightly, “You are too polite. I could only prove my innocence today because of your help. I still want to thank you for your help, but do you know where Reverend Robert is now?”

Just after getting to the anti-climactic end of the conference, Evan was dragged into the church carriage by the overjoyed Mrs Sanders and hurried away, not knowing what happened in the later stage.

Duke Wilson knew that he was going to ask this and showed a gentle smile, “Don’t worry, Reverend Robert is very good. They are all at Cornwall Manor now, do you… Would you like to go and see him?” Duke Wilson, bless him, immediately asked.

Evan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Okay.” This is indeed the appropriate thing for him to do at this time.

 

 

T/N – Hi guys, I know you must be wondering why I released so many chapters at once. I just really couldn’t stand the shenanigans of Ford and Alia anymore, and I just wanted it to be over. So, I did my best to translate the chapters that involved the troubles they caused till the chapters where they got slapped in the face. Translating those parts felt really good, I must say.

Now, I’m going to get a well deserved rest.

Enjoy!
