Chapter 538 Coming Up
The old butler should have been terrified, but he was more happy because the letter he tried to write to the director of the orphanage was discovered by the young master.
But the young master did not question, nor did he choose to tell the master about this matter. He just took out the letter that he had intercepted at some point, and then put it close to his lips and said,
"Grandpa Butler, you are too impatient. It's not the right time yet..."
ah.........
Looking at the young master's appearance, the old butler felt a burst of joy from the bottom of his heart. It has been a long time since the Sterling family had a child like this...
That’s right, if you ask about the history of the Sterling family, most people only know that they once ran a casino and later became good people.
But in fact, if we dig deeper, we will find that the Sterling family was once a family that believed in poisonous snakes.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the people in their family like snakes so much, but just because every once in a while, a child who is like a poisonous snake will appear in their family.
As vicious and selfish as a poisonous snake, once it sets its sights on its prey, it will never let go.
The Sterling family would not be afraid of the birth of such a child. On the contrary, they would be proud of it. Even if they were not that child, they would try their best to develop their own desires.
[As long as it makes them happy, they can do anything. ]
It's a pity that this long-standing family gradually declined due to some reasons.
The old butler was once one of the descendants who served the Sterling family.
The old butler searched for so long when he was young, and finally found Sterling's descendants, and stayed here to work at all costs. But it is a pity that the family of this Sterling is basically a fool, and his noble blood has been completely occupied by the dirty things outside.
What he did was just out of greed, which was totally unbecoming of a true Sterling family member. A Sterling family member should be noble and elegant, lurking like a snake, but also as gorgeous as a poisonous snake, not shying away from their fangs and venom, swallowing their prey into their stomachs in order to satisfy their own desires.
(Well, if some readers don’t understand, you can understand it this way, that is, the real Sterling family is pure evil. They don’t do things for money, benefits or power. They do it just because it makes them feel happy, just because they want to do it.
As for what kind of person Richard's father is, I believe everyone should have a general understanding. Everything he did was just because he was greedy and wanted money.
But Richard was different. Everything he did was perfectly in line with the character of the Sterling family throughout the generations. He did it for nothing, not for the love of his parents, not for the inheritance of the family, but simply because he felt happy doing so.
(The above author's inspiration comes from Slytherin. Uh, anyone who knows Harry Potter knows what I'm talking about. I seriously doubt that Gang Yi thought of this when he was thinking about the plot))
"Yes, you are right. Please forgive me, I was indeed a little impatient..." The old butler stood up and bowed deeply to Richard, "My master."
Richard was very happy. He did not think there was anything strange about the old butler surrendering to him. Now it was clear who was the real person controlling everything in the family and who was the chess player on the chessboard.
At this time, the smart choice is to quickly clarify your position and choose the most advantageous one.
Richard smiled, a smile that was not as innocent as a child, but more like a venomous snake showing its fangs.
"Okay, do you know how to make this thing?"
Richard handed the envelope he had intercepted back to the old butler.
In the letter, the old butler wrote about the recent situation of the Sterling family and what happened to Master Richard when he was young. He hoped to reach a cooperation with the director of the orphanage and take Master Richard away quietly. This time he had to do it sneakily and not make such a big fuss like last time. In this way, the master and the lady would not look for Master Richard again.
The old butler hoped that the director of the orphanage could take Master Richard away, but now it seems that this letter is indeed redundant.
The old butler took the letter from Richard and burned it to ashes with the candle next to him.

the other side,
This is really hard to explain! Ever since that bastard named Richard left, Servi seemed to have completely changed.
He used to be always frowning and worried, but now he often has a smile on his face and seems to be happy from the bottom of his heart.
Even the surrounding air seemed to be affected, becoming exceptionally fresh and pleasant.
However, one thing has not changed - Kreacher is still determined not to allow Servi to touch anything other than himself.
But even so, Servi already felt very satisfied.
After all, compared to the past, the current situation is much better... It's really too good... But when he occasionally thinks of this, Servi can't help but feel a little bitter in his heart.
As for the unpleasant incident that happened last time, Kreacher is still brooding over it.
Even though the troublemaker Richard has left, it doesn't mean that Kreacher can easily forgive the mistakes made by Servi.
Every time he saw Servi wanting to get close to him but hesitant because of fear, Kreacher felt mixed emotions.
However, he could never let go of the resentment and anger in his heart, so he could only choose to continue to remain indifferent and distant from Servi.
.................................................. ........................
the other side,
Time flies, and some time has passed unknowingly. Now, the injury on Qiu Ke's hand has been basically healed, but there is still a very eye-catching scar on the palm of his hand.
"Is there no way to get rid of it?" Carl stared at the scar on Jake's hand, a little sad on his face, and murmured softly.
After all, if he hadn't come up with the idea of filming the video, how could Brother Jake have been injured? So, it was all Carl's fault!
However, to be honest, Jack found it hard to understand why this thing on his palm could be called a scar.
In his understanding, a scar should be huge, hideous and ugly.
But when I looked at my hand, it was just a thin white line, and the color was so light that it was almost unnoticeable.
Could such a slight mark really be considered a scar? Jake was really confused about this.
However, seeing Carl's sad look, Qiu Ke silently chose not to ask.
"Don't be sad, little Carl. We still want to continue the performance!" Natasha quickly went over and hugged Carl and said.
"That's right, I also want to continue acting. I'm one of the leading actors in London theater, so of course I'm not inferior to them." Violetta also quickly echoed.
.................................................. ........................
Finally, with the comfort from the people around him, Carl felt a little happier.
However, at this moment, Qiu Ke tightly grasped the script in his hand, his eyes fixed on the densely packed words, as if he wanted to engrave them all into his mind.
As time passed, he just stood there quietly, motionless, like a sculpture.
Finally, after a long time, he slowly raised his head, a trace of helplessness and bitterness on his face, and muttered softly: "I don't mean to say, do we really have to jump like this?"
At this moment, Qiu Ke was standing alone on the old bridge over the Moon River, and the river water under the bridge was already covered with a thick layer of ice.
He stared silently at the bottom, thinking to himself: If I jump like this, even if I am lucky enough not to be smashed to pieces, I will probably be frozen to death by the biting cold!
Besides, look at the surging river. If this scene is performed according to the script, once it is finished, everyone will probably be frantically running along the river bank with big nets and long bamboo poles, trying to chase themselves who are being swept away by the fast-moving water!
Oops, no, no, wait... Suddenly, Jack frowned as if he had thought of something important.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot about my prosthetic limb!
It's heavy. If I jump into the water, I might sink to the bottom like a stone. At that time, will everyone have to jump into the river to rescue me?
Thinking of this, Qiu Ke couldn't help but sigh heavily, secretly groaning in his heart.
No matter what happened in the end, he could foresee what kind of embarrassing and ridiculous situation he would be in.
"I think so too. Isn't this a bit exaggerated? It's indeed a little difficult for Joke to jump down." Jose Badem leaned on the railing by the Moon River, looking down at the rushing river water below.
Although Joke had gone sailing with Jose Badem in his early years and should know how to swim a little, that was at least before Stellan and Inara were born. So much time has passed, and for Joke to jump... why did Jose Badem feel that they could have prepared for artificial respiration in advance?
"Indeed, let's delete this part and make everyone imagine that Brother Qiu Ke also jumped down..."
I don't know if it was because Carl felt a little guilty for causing Joke to get injured before, but this time he easily modified the contents of his script. But it was true that his original idea of filming this script was just to kill time, not to risk his life!
"Then it should be OK for me to dance alone, right?"
Although the river water below did look quite turbulent, Natasha felt that it would be completely fine for her to jump in. Don't forget that Natasha came from a small fishing village and had been swimming in the sea since she was a child. How could she not know how to swim?
And according to Carl's script, it seems that there is no way to skip the part where he jumps into the river, so just jump it. It doesn't matter to Natasha anyway.
"But I feel it's still a little dangerous. At least let me dive into the river first."
Grace quietly put her head next to Natasha's head and took a quick look at the script.
Even if Natasha can swim, it is still too dangerous to jump in. I should dive into the river first, so that I can pull Natasha out if she falls in.
This was a good idea. After getting everyone's consent, Grace jumped directly from the Moon River Bridge.
.................................................. ........................
"Natalie! Come back soon! I won't hurt you!!!"
The Crying Clown shouted at Natalie, who had already leaned over the railing.
But Natalie just turned her head, glanced at the crying clown calmly, and then said as if she had made up her mind,
"I won't go back again."
After saying that, he jumped down. When the Weeping Clown realized what Natalie wanted to do, it was too late. He failed to catch Natalie. He lost her again...
The Crying Clown's first reaction was to climb over the railing in front of him and jump down with Natalie. He wanted to rescue her, but was stopped by Mike and Murro who came from behind.
.................................................. ........................
"Stop! Everybody's fine!"
As soon as the signal that the filming was completed was given, everyone gathered around the railing to see what happened to Natasha who had jumped down.
But fortunately, as soon as the signal to stop was given, Grace carried Natasha to the surface of the water.
But unexpectedly, the surface of the Moon River was quite high from the shore. No matter how hard Grace tried, she couldn't lift Natasha up.
"Come on, I'll do it!" After saying that, Joke climbed over the fence, grabbed the bottom of the fence, lifted his whole body into the air, and stretched his hand down desperately, trying to pass his hand to Natasha.
"Be careful, Joke! This is very dangerous!" Muro grabbed Joke's hand that was left there to prevent him from slipping and falling into the Moon River with Natasha.
Even with Joke's efforts, Natasha was still a little short of reaching the top. She could only desperately stretch her hand upwards. After several attempts, Joke finally grabbed Natasha's hand.
"Okay, come up!"
