The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 442 Ch.441 The Lady Sitting Steady

Paige Streeter is too busy.

After her brother accidentally fell from a building while drunk, she met a lot of people.

The sheriff, the sheriff's promising young son, Mr. William, the miners' representative, and the little Kohler who always followed her loyally -

She didn't want to be like that high and mighty figure, sitting comfortably on the sofa in a fox fur coat, guarding a cup of steaming tea, treating the guests, officials, and even closer friends who stood upright like servants.

She would stand up to greet everyone and would not sit down until they were seated.

Peggy Streeter did this all afternoon.

This made her feel that she was still Miss Paige, who roamed in joints, mines and pubs, rather than Ms. Street.

This goes on all day long.

The old housekeeper reminded her that such behavior was not decent and was not true "respect" - those people did not care whether you respected them or not. On the contrary, this welcoming gesture would make them look down on your lineage and despise your past.

You shouldn't do this.

The old housekeeper said it twice, but Peggy didn't want to.

So he let her go.

The prominent people in Innstown sent people to visit her, and in their letters they asked if Peggy was free, and expressed their wish to visit her the next day.

At the same time, most of them severely reprimanded Peggy in their letters:
Rebuking her for usurping her brother's title and master's status.

She was just a woman, and the heir to the Streeter family was supposed to be a man.

Most of them were local wealthy merchants and officials.

Paige had expected this outcome.

However, she was too busy to be angry with these people.

She first had to purge the servants in the manor who followed her brother, those who hid in the dark and tried to pass on information. Secondly, she had to arrange some close and trusted miners to take over the guard work.

She protected herself, that is, the seat that she had worked so hard to get on.

At last.

She also had to place her brother's coffin and prepare for his funeral - Roland didn't kill him, he took the initiative to jump down from the building.

And broke his neck with pinpoint accuracy.

These things were beyond Peggy Streeter's ability: she had never done any of these things as a child, and later on, she wandered among the mines and miners.

Suddenly, she was overwhelmed by the divine power.

However, when she was staring at the gas lamp in confusion and melancholy, the old housekeeper said something meaningful to her.

'As long as I point my finger, the water that shouldn't flow will flow, and the ice that shouldn't melt will melt. I can make wool grow again and again, and make the poor rich and poor, and the poor rich and rich again.'

'You should have such power.'

He didn't ask Peggy to give up the innocent kindness in her heart, he just hoped that she would become a little tougher - what on this land doesn't belong to you?

Pain and disaster do not belong to you.

Paige slept soundly.

Early the next morning.

Someone couldn't wait to come to the door to find out the news.

First, there were businessmen who relied on mines for their livelihood.

They united and sent a representative to see Peggy:

The man spoke harshly and angrily, scolding Peggy Streeter for doing something a woman shouldn't do and stealing a treasure that didn't belong to her.

Her wisdom should be used on her family and children, and her strength should be used on serving and giving birth.

Instead of plotting to seize a scepter that she has no control over.

——And when this man learned that Henry Streeter, who had been working with them, had 'accidentally fallen to death' last night...

The whole person instantly became respectful, and the tone of his voice was like a girl who had just been conquered. He leaned against that hairy chest and spoke softly, like a qualified angel of the family who was busy all day long.

'We have a queen, so why can't the Streeters?'

He expressed his highest respect to Peggy in person and promised that the coal miners in Innstown would always support the mistress of the Street family.

After she is truly legally recognized, they will give Peggy a heartfelt congratulations. Next, the mayor.

He had heard from somewhere that Henry Streeter had fallen from a building, and he was much smarter than the merchant representative.

He also received the same "courtesy" from Peggy - she stood up from the sofa to greet him like a friend.

This flattered the mayor.

Usually Mr Streeter would sit and look at him.

They then talked a lot about the trivial matters of the burial and the need for the mayor and the new owner of Street to speak with one voice.

The old man, who looked almost 300 years old, patted his chest and assured that he absolutely supported Peggy and was willing to prove for her that she had nothing to do with Henry's fall. He also said that he would write a handwritten letter urging them to let Peggy Streeter inherit the title as soon as possible.

Of course, in return, Peggy said that when she becomes the real master, she will make "more reasonable" arrangements for the old mayor's children.

For example, some positions where you can do nothing all day but still get a good weekly salary.

after that.

The miners' representatives are here again.

This time, Peggy didn't get up from the sofa.

After a busy day, she was a little tired.

Besides, she couldn't possibly get up and meet everyone, right?

What does this look like?
The servants in the room were watching.

If even a miner required her to be as intimate as a friend, to rush up to him, to hold his hand, to ask about his well-being - how could she still be a dignified and noble master in the eyes of her servants?
She didn't mean to raise her chin in a meaningless way, but everything was not stable at the moment.

At least she put on a show...

——This is what Peggy said to herself.

In short, she did not get up again, but sat comfortably on the sofa, watching the miner being led by the servant all the way into the door.

This treatment was different from yesterday, and the miners were a little stunned.

However, something engraved in his bones made him immediately realize who he was facing.

"Ms. Streeter."

He bowed.

Peggy moved her toes and waist, but used the previous 'reason' to press herself firmly into the sofa.

She uttered a "hmm", a very light sound.

The miners' representatives came with Kohler Jr.

"Kohler, Pace."

Different from before.

She didn't use 'sir' for a reason.

Because she didn't want to make the miners feel uncomfortable - often the self-proclaimed kindness of the masters does not make the servants comfortable, but makes them think more and adds to their troubles.

"Your instructions."

Little Kohler took off his hat and touched his chest: "Our people have taken control of the police force, ma'am."

"Well done." Peggy smiled and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She wanted the miners who were close to her and followed her to take off their miners' uniforms and put on black coats representing the town police.

She couldn't make the same mistake again and let her 'other self' drive her away in the same way.

Then 'falling from the building'.

She wanted to control the power of the entire town of Ins, unlike her brother, who died foolishly under the oppression of those miners.

In this way, she would no longer be haunted by fear in her dreams.

Knock knock.

The butler knocked twice on the door.

"Ma'am, Mr. William is here."
