Chapter 100 He is Martin?
Helena was “angry”.
Conor was his friend, William was his cousin, Lottie was his sister, and Annie was the chief publicist. Was it really good for Jasper to stand up for his wife like that? If the organizing committee found it out, would they say she was cheating relying on her background?
“Helena, it’s not that I’m keeping it from you, it’s that Jasper said you didn’t want to disclose it.”
“Helena, don’t be angry, you can order as much food as you like from Jiangnan Manor, can I treat you to dinner to make amends?”
Just after the second round of elimination, Helena came to her room to ask forgiveness. She sat opposite Helena with her hands gripping her ears, looking as if she knew she had made a mistake but was actively admitting it.
When Helena saw her like this, she couldn’t even bear to punish her, feeling like she was bullying a child. She tapped on the desktop, “You write out the family members of the Howard family, and all the relatives.”
Lottie hurriedly took out paper and a pen and came over to Helena’s side to list the family members. As she wrote, she said, “Grandpa is the oldest in the family, and he lives in the Howard’s mansion.”
The Howard’s old and new houses were together.
The new house was extended next to the old one.
The door to the old house was to the south and the door to the new house was to the north, and they all lived in the new house except for Spencer.
Lottie drew the topographical map onto another piece of paper and explained it to her: “The old mansion and the new mansion have separate gates, but there is no dividing wall inside. Inside, they are interchangeable, separated by a sea of flowers. None of us are allowed to cross the sea of flowers without a call from Grandpa, otherwise we will be dealt with by the family law. If we need to see grandpa at short notice, we must ask the housekeeper through the main gate and wait for grandpa’s permission before we can enter.”
The Howard family was very strict in their parenting!
In the entire Howard family, only Jasper dared to contradict Spencer when he was in a rage!
Spencer’s most taboo person was Jasper, after all, strength spoke!
Helena had been to the old mansion once, when she thought the land was sparsely populated and thought they didn’t live there, but she didn’t expect it to be this kind of structure.
Lottie continued, “Grandpa is very good at finding fun for himself, jogging, boxing, listening to music and playing birds. When the mood struck him, he would sing a few songs. He doesn’t live with us because he was afraid we would think he was old and noisy. Grandpa is very loyal and would offer help for his friends. The last time he forced you to write a warranty, he did that for his friends.”
“Grandpa has two sons.”
“My dad is the second one, and I have an older uncle.”
“My uncle lives here, across from our house, with a man-made lake in between. It’s the same between us, we try not to see each other when there’s nothing going on, sometimes we call before we visit, we just live our own lives.”
Lottie then wrote about character relationships.
“My uncle has three sons.”
“They are: Theodore Howard, Fraser Howard and Martin Howard.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Helena was shook.
Martin!
The man who partnered with Scarlet was called Martin too, could that be him?
“Martin and Jasper are the same age, he’s only two months older than Jasper. They grew up together, went to school together and worked at the Howard Group together, they are particularly close.”
Helena asked, “They are on good terms, so can he enter the Star Mansion for the Bates family’s party?”
She remembered what the waiter had said that night: two Mr. Howard had entered that day, but the only one qualified to chat with Zack was Jasper!
Lottie nodded, “Of my uncle’s three sons, he is the most capable. He is also close to Jasper, so for those big scenes that are useful, Jasper will bring him along.”
“Do you have a picture of him?”
“Yes!”
Lottie flipped to the photo to show her, “This is my uncle, this is my aunt, this is Theodore, this is Fraser, and this is Martin. This one is a family photo of them.”
Helena looked at the photo.
Not him!
Martin at Star Mansion had a square face, but this Martin had a pointed face.
Lottie continued to show her the photos: “This is my dad, this is my mum, this is my big brother, Jasper, and me. This is our family photo. My big brother is the fourth oldest in the Howard family, and Jasper is the fifth oldest. All five of them are not married …… No, no, all four of them are not married except Jasper.”
The relatives were: Her aunt Hazel Reid and mother Evelyn Sharp.
Hazel was the Second miss of the Reid family.
At that time, the Reid family was very powerful.
Later, when the Reid family slowly declined and her uncle Stefan Howard was unable to support the Reid family, the Reid family faded out of the aristocratic circle.
Evelyn was the only daughter of the Sharp family, her condition was not as good as Hazel’s. The only difference was: Ashley was more capable than Stefan and had brought the Sharp family into the aristocratic circle.
“My aunt is nice and we all want to go over there and play.”
“This is a family photo of them.”
“This is my grandfather, my uncle and my aunt. This is my first cousin and second cousin, and this is William.”
“William is the most mischievous of all, able to climb trees upwards and dig holes downwards. When I was three years old, he almost buried me alive.”
“He wanted a sister, and he said that sisters are planted. He planted me in and he would reap his sister. He was five years old, and he buried me until only one head was about the earth. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to get his sister, so he pressed the soil down very hard. I couldn’t breathe and my face turned purple. Luckily, Jasper came out to look for me and rescued me. That time, he was almost killed by Jasper.”
“After that, he ran when he saw Jasper and was scared.”
Helena looked at their family photos and realized that William did not look like them, especially in terms of temperament.
They had a gentle and soft temperament.
William’s temperament seemed casually gangly, but his eyes were particularly rigid.
That rigidity was an indelible hardness that came from deep in the bones.
There was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
Annie came over to make a new announcement: “The second round of elimination has officially ended. The results will be released in five days. During these five days, the organizing committee has arranged for the housekeeper to lead the designers on a tour of the manor. Tomorrow morning, we will gather at eight o’clock, and I will wake you up at seven o’clock, so you will all go to bed early.”
Lottie had a good night’s sleep.
Helena had a night of messy dreams.
At seven o’clock in the morning, Annie knocked on the door on time and at eight o’clock they rushed to Parkside Gate Square to meet.
Over six hundred people, nearly one hundred companies, one team per company, led by a housekeeper. There was also a chief housekeeper who announced the flow of the event, issued event tasks and directed the housekeepers of each company.
Angle Jewellery only had two people left.
The chief housekeeper said, “Annie, take them to the far side, they are less crowded, so don’t crowd with them.”
They stand over.
They were next to the UK company.
Helena’s eyes suddenly lit up as she scanned the circle. UK still had the last six people left, but one of them was the man she had seen during the live broadcast, the one with the artist’s temperament.
She was so happy! So lucky!
Taking out her phone, she sent a message to Wendy: “The guy with an artist’s temperament is standing next to me not far away. Do you want him? If yes, I’ll go and have his contact.”
