The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 507 Ch.506 Disclosure
When Sally Hines saw Lillian on the sofa, the expression on her face was indescribable - it was like the first time she marveled at the wonder of the Benefactor's creation and looked at the knight blowing the horn and charging towards her.

How could this be?
Is this really possible?
It really is.

incredible.

Oh…

Sally's father was treated kindly, without missing arms, sitting in a high-backed chair, watched over by a footman whose arms were as thick as his legs.

She was led in by Hans and pushed roughly to the empty chair next to her father.

But she didn't sit.

He just tugged at his messed-up sleeves, his eyes wandering.

Everyone was looking at her and no one spoke.

His father, Rose, the butler, and the valet, Hans.

"…I can apologize," the woman muttered. "You should have said your last name was 'Shelley'."

She couldn't read the warning and hint in her father's eyes and mistook it for something else.

"I'm just upset with Taylor, Miss Shelley." She raised her head. "You can judge. If I was fired for no reason, insulted, and my old father was drunk all day long, just because of that man's immoral and dishonorable behavior - he didn't follow the rules, so I..."

"Shut your mouth!" Old Hines couldn't stand it any longer and yelled at his daughter: "Shut up! You're such a pest!"

When the experienced old man arrived at the main hall and saw Lillian Rose Vansittart sitting on the sofa, he instantly understood a problem that was usually overlooked by most people - perhaps he was not as shrewd and experienced as he thought.

And this neglected issue is directly related to whether the "secrets" he brought can still work.

If you can’t…

Their family is in real big trouble.

The daughter, who had not inherited any of her abilities, obviously had not yet realized what Lillian Rose Vansittart's presence here meant.

——Old Hines’s speculation was somewhat biased, but the result was correct.

"It's not my fault..." Sally curled her lips and glared at Hans who stood by the door with his hands hanging down and said nothing. "The Shelley family also used such means..."

Rose stretched, pushed back the blanket, and stood up. "You are what you appear to be, Sally Hines."

"I've already said that I apologize to you...isn't that enough?" Sally didn't think that Rose's last name, Shelley, would cause any trouble for her or her father.

The worst that could happen was that he would be humiliated, his father would lose his job, and he would never get a penny from the Taylors again.

That's it.

What else?
Her father has made a lot of money over the years, enough for her to continue living a good life for a few more years.

When the time comes, she will choose a husband.

Choose a wealthy, outstanding, handsome man from an upper-class family with elegant manners. It would be even better if he was taller and had a thicker beard - she would allow him to have some minor flaws as long as he loved her enough and was loyal enough.

Since her father had worked for Taylor at Golden Smoke, she would have no shortage of people to choose from.

As for women's marriage, the "appropriate age" range of gentlemen...

Two or three years older, or thirteen or twenty-three years older is considered normal.

Wait until she marries a good man. If her father still can't find a decent job...

She could also give the old guy some help.

Sally Hines had calculated things well.

Therefore, she was not so worried in front of Rose: she would not work for the Shelleys anyway, and they would not hire her.

She can endure humiliation - provided that the other party is valuable enough.

If it had happened before today, she wouldn't have been able to bear it.

"Are you a distant relative of the Shelley family? Or something else?" Sally raised her eyebrows, hinting something self-evident: "I heard that old Shelley's son died of a heart disease."

Hans stood by the wall, clenching his fists silently, not even daring to raise his head, cursing Sally Hines madly in his heart.

——Am I blind?
He once thought that she was a rebellious young lady who was naive and dared to do crazy things for romance - but at least she had brains.

Even a brain the size of a fingernail. Now.

But her behavior made it clear to Hans.

No.

She has no brains at all.

Not only is this woman spoiled, but her father is also stupid enough.

How dare she speak to the Shelleys like that?!

Although Hans did not know Lillian Rose Vansittart, nor had he heard of this name before today - he had the honor of meeting the butler Tom once.

He saw it with his own eyes that day.

His boss's boss, the top leader of the Gold Tooth Gang, was like a well-behaved and obedient pet dog in front of this old gentleman.

"Me? I can barely be considered a distant relative." Rose replied lightly.

Sally immediately showed a look of "Look at what I'm saying" and pursed her lips at the silent old Hines: "My father worked at Golden Smoke for many years. I think your words are still useful, why not hire him - I've apologized, Miss Lillian, I don't think we have any deep hatred, right?"

Rose listened without saying anything, and cooperated with the maid to put on her coat and cloak.

"Shelley's tobacco has always ranked behind Taylor's, Miss Lillian. But my father is different - he knows a lot of things. Since you paid such a high price to deceive Taylor and hide in the store, you must also be planning to get the perfume?"

"Tobacco, perfume. I promise, if you hire my father--"

Rose took the deerskin gloves handed to her by the old butler, nodded slightly, and looked at Sally.

"Behind the scenes?" She chuckled. "Sally Hines, you don't seem to understand how to play a game well. Are you really Mr. Hines' biological daughter?"

Sally was stunned: "What?"

Yes, this is what old Hines guessed after seeing Rose.

Tobacco business.

Taylor and Shelley were at loggerheads.

Several bloody storms in the tobacco market were caused by Taylor attacking Shelley, or Shelley attacking Taylor - even newcomers to the industry should be aware of this.

Rumor has it that Shelley Sr. and Taylor Sr. were once as close as brothers, but one of them betrayed his friend and almost destroyed the other's career.

then.

Quarrels, calculations, fistfights, and separation.

This hatred of betrayal cannot be extinguished in the previous generation and will naturally continue to burn to the next generation and the next generation, until one side is completely destroyed.

but.

Old Hines just discovered this today.

These blinded animals are so stupid, they just work hard but dream of becoming real "people", which is really ridiculous.

——In those man-made thunders and storms, in the chaos without smoke and wailing, Shelley and Taylor always stood firm.

But other competitors disappeared quietly.

Is it true that Shelley and Taylor have a grudge against each other?

Will the first and second place really fight to the death?

still.

They all turned their heads and bit other intruders who dared to step into their territory?
Even...will there be any cooperation in private?

Old Hines felt light-headed.

Actually.

He was just as foolish as his daughter, having walked headfirst into the lion's mouth... on his own initiative.
