The relationship between Ophelia and her mother is not particularly good. Anyone who is strong and arrogant will not be liked by anyone, even her own children.
On the contrary, the father, who has been bedridden, is closer to Ophelia. It may be because this man is in poor health and stays at home for a long time. He spends more time with her and has a better relationship with her.
So when Dulin said that people have to pay for the wrong things they did, Ophelia didn't mention it again.
Dulin didn't want Dilsina's life, he just wanted her to lose her freedom for a while and ensure her life in prison.
Although she was still feeling a bit uncomfortable psychologically, Ophelia still chose to side with Du Lin and no longer interfere with this matter.
This is also a very normal behavior. In the empire and even the entire world, everyone is emphasizing the importance of family and family, but in fact, most people are quite selfish when it comes to family.
This is not a rare phenomenon, it can be said to be a common phenomenon.
When a child leaves the family and forms his own family, he will live separately from his parents. Even if the distance between the two sides is not far, there will be very little contact between them.
I only occasionally want to greet each other during holidays, and most of the time we treat each other like strangers.
When family members use this as a reason to question and criticize those people, they will always say, "I have my own life," "I also have my own children," "I need to take care of my family," "I have limited energy. Already very tired."
This phenomenon has become a unique family culture. Every home is the starting point, where new life will be born, grow, and go into society.
But this home is not their end, their end is the family they build themselves.
Now Ophelia no longer uses the surname Timamont. Although she is still a member of the Timamont family, her surname has become Cosma.
In formal situations, when people address her in a more official tone, they will use the title "Mrs. Kesma" instead of "Ms. Timamonte".
This also destined her to be on Dulin's side. She had already left the starting point and found the end.
Is this a cruel thing
Maybe, maybe not.
I say yes, because as hypocrites, people must stand on the high ground of morality to maintain their objective image in society. Necessary kindness, compassion, and emphasis on family and family will become a warm coat for people to cover up their indifference.
If you say no, that is because it may be an instinct of animals to keep the elderly away from the group to ensure the health and vitality of the group.
In short, Dilsina's little plan to use Ophelia to impress Du Lin and make him let her go has failed. In fact, even if Ophelia wants to interfere, Du Lin will find a way to refuse her.
There are some things that Dulin will not implement even if Kesma raises objections.
For several days, Dilsina was looking for someone to have a relationship with, and others were also looking for someone to have a relationship with. During this period, Felicia also called Dulin and said that they had agreed a few years ago to go there when Dulin was free. Find her and she will show Doolin around.
I couldn't remember this for several years, but now I suddenly remembered that if Mags hadn't greeted him before, he would have even thought of trapping Felicia.
These great northern aristocrats are all extremely rich, and they can kill one of them with an income that can last hundreds of years. The imperial royal family was also stupid at the time.
A prince can rebel, a duke can rebel, but a marquis cannot be rebelled
Of course, these are all things in the past. Just when Dulin was letting these things ferment quietly, something unexpected happened to him.
To be precise, he did not consider that some people were so courageous that they continued to "steal" the gold resources in the Yagur Mountains right under his nose.
According to reports from some people, there was the roar of machinery from the gold mine in Yagur Mountain. A large amount of gold ore was transported out of the mine via rail-tracted mine cars and loaded into trucks.
Someone bribed one of the drivers. According to the driver, they planned to take the car full of ore out of the mountain at night when they couldn't see it.
A year ago, the Yagur Mountains did not entirely belong to Ambiro State. About one-third to two-fifths, or about 33 to 40 percent of the area, belonged to another state. .
Now it belongs entirely to Ambiro State, or Dulin connected it through Mages and Kubal, and then incorporated the entire Yagur Mountains into Ambiro State in the name of "ease of management" and placed it under the management of Dulin.
This means that there is not only one way to go in and out of the mountain. If those people are not afraid of trouble, they can leave through the relatively gentle forestland on the other side.
If Du Lin hadn't let people keep an eye on these people, he would have really found a chance for them.
If they continue to fight through the judicial process, there is no telling how long they will be able to steal the money.
Savvy led some people to take charge of the voices of five gathering places on the Eagle Beak Continent. The business of exchanging gold for bullets was really a huge profit. Dulin might not be at ease if he left it to others. He only had a few special ones on hand. Only those he can trust can be completely at ease.
It was Keena who now managed the Vanguard, so Keena soon appeared in Dulin's office.
This bastard Keena is very lazy most of the time except at work. He is wearing clothes that cost hundreds of yuan, but he looks like he is wearing clothes that cost a few yuan, and he still has something in his mouth. With a grass root and hair as fluffy as a bird's nest, some people believe that he is a homeless man.
This has a lot to do with the past living habits. In a place like Alfalfa Town, there will never be any happy people.
He called Boss and sat on the sofa. He picked up an orange and rubbed it in his hand. He stuffed it into his mouth without even peeling it. The juice from one bite overflowed and some of it fell on his clothes. Asked, "This is sweet, where did you buy it?"
Du Fu cheerfully picked up an apple and peeled it elegantly. He looked at Kina with eyes that looked like he was mentally retarded. The two of them had been in love with each other for a long time. One was lazy and casual, the other was delicate and careful. They gathered in a mess. At the same time, it can only be said that Du Lin's attractiveness is too great and he can be pretended to be with anyone.
Du Lin looked at him, but he had no intention of changing him. Even though he was so sloppy and carefree in life, it was said that several cowgirls wanted to conquer him.
"I'll give you a task..." After Du Lin said this to Kaiou, Kina's eyes changed slightly, "I heard that those unruly people planned to take advantage of the darkness to steal goods. You Bring someone to stop them. Almost all of the Yagul Mountains are primitive mountains that have not been developed. It is very dangerous at night. Go and help them!"
Kinah nodded heavily, then grabbed the only three oranges left in the fruit basket and put them into a pocket worth several hundred dollars that was just used to embellish and decorate the lines of clothes. He stood up and pushed the door open.
Dover was not shy about his displeasure and ridicule. In fact, he and Keena did not have any conflicts, they just felt that the other's personality was incompatible with theirs.
Especially Keena, he often used the excuse that Dove promised to send him two girls when he was in Odis, saying that Dove's words were like farts, and the smell would disappear after a while. As a result, he didn't even see a hair on his head. , which caused him to not get married yet.
Du Fu also felt that this bastard was too lazy and slovenly. In the past, when others were so busy that they had no time to rest, he would hide under the shade of a tree and sleep.
It is difficult for them to shake hands and make peace with each other.
At dusk, Kena, who had changed into a set of combat clothes, carried a "fishing rod" as Dufo said on his back and led a small team into the mountains of Yagur Mountain from a trail.
It takes about two days to travel from the foot of the mountain to the gold mine. If we speed up, we will be able to reach the Golden Valley of Yagul Mountain at night at most tomorrow night.
At this time, people in the Valley of Gold did not know that their behavior had been discovered by Dulin, and that there were actually some problems within the Ambiluo State Mining Company.
After many high-level meetings, the Imperial Central Bank was ready to give in. This time they planned to admit defeat, but Dilsina had to ensure that there would be no problem with the literal principal in their contract, which was 20 million.
As for the other overflow losses of several million, they accepted it and considered their investment a failure.
It is not a smart thing to conflict with Dulin on his territory. The policy-making power he holds in his hands is enough to make the Imperial Bank very passive. Coupled with the wealth he has saved in the Imperial Bank, his influence , the Imperial Central Bank think tank believed that it would be foolish to have a direct conflict with Dulin.
Even if they want to fall out with Dulin, they cannot put the battlefield on his private land in Ambluo State. They have to pull him out and only start a war with him when everyone is in a relatively fair situation.
However, the two consortiums do not want the Imperial Bank to withdraw immediately. Once a giant like the Imperial Bank withdraws, it will directly sentence them to "death" in a certain sense. In addition to having to face huge losses, they also have to deal with the problems of the senior management of the consortium. Inquire.
If not, not only will you lose your job and wealth, but it may also be even worse.
Moreover, there is no clear sign that they are going to lose so far. If they persist, there may be room for maneuver.
Without the knowledge of the representatives of the Imperial Central Bank, the representatives of both consortiums directly ordered the mining areas to continue working, changed the large trucks into small ones, left the Yagul Mountains from the other side, and entered directly into another state.
In this way, as long as the time can be delayed a little longer, they may not be unable to recover their capital, and it is possible to even make a small profit.
According to the current mining volume, it only takes fifty days for them to be able to almost stop their losses, and any more will be profit.
Another benefit of doing so is to bring the Imperial Central Bank back on the chariot.
