Chapter 341 It's Getting More and More Interesting
It was not Sylvia that Li Changheng immediately thought of, but Isabel Gosford.
Because old Gosford is dead, she is the biggest vested interest.
If the old man is gone, how much alimony stepmother Sylvia can get depends on Isabel's mood.
Have a good heart, 10,000 or 50,000 pounds a year will do.
Conversely, it is no problem to give 3 or 5 thousand a year.
So here comes the problem.
Why?
A son killing his father is not something anyone can do.
Li Changheng turned his head to Andrew and asked, "How old is Isabel, your cousin?"
"She is one year younger than Annie, she should be 18, what's wrong?"
Li Changheng shook his head, thinking about the 18-year-old girl, what are the chances of killing his father cruelly?
It should be infinitely close to zero, right?
"Does Isabel have a boyfriend?"
Now not only Andrew was surprised, but Grosvenor, Bell, Jeffrey, Fred and Taylor around him all looked at him in disbelief.
Grosvenor, who had never spoken much, asked with a trembling voice, "Hen, Henry, why do you doubt Isabel?"
Li Changheng frowned and looked sideways at the 19-year-old Grosvenor.
Then Bell, who had already taken refuge in him, whispered next to him, "If there are no accidents, Isabel will most likely marry Grosvenor or Andrew."
"Hell, don't talk nonsense, bastard."
Andrew stared at Bell angrily, "After my mother told me, I refused immediately.
Moreover, I have never been to Gosford Manor in the past few years, let alone Isabel. "
After finishing speaking, he looked at Grosvenor again and said, "Lard knows about this, otherwise, he wouldn't have such a good relationship with me."
Seeing everyone staring at him, Grosvenor quickly nodded and said, "I can't say anything else, but I can indeed testify for Isabel.
Because, because,,. "
Grosvenor didn't look at anyone else, but focused on Taylor.
Taylor immediately understood that he, an outsider, was not qualified to know the core secrets of Henry and his group of young nobles.
"Henry, I have to accompany you to see my female companion, lest she ignore me in the next few days."
Li Changheng smiled and nodded, watching Taylor leave.
Grosvenor whispered, "You all know that I inherited the title of Duke three years ago because of my brother's death.
Therefore, since I got the real power of the family, I not only cleaned up many servants, but also attached great importance and concern to my future wife.
If Isabel ever left Gosford Park, I would know for sure. "
Everyone immediately understood that Grosvenor must have bought a servant of Gosford Manor, and this person might even be Isabel's personal maid.
However, the people present only stared at Grosvenor frowning at Andrew, and the others didn't care at all.
And Grosvenor couldn't control what Andrew thought at this time.
After all, he is the only child in his family now, and he can't even find a branch of his grandfather's generation going back two generations.
Therefore, there is nothing Grosvenor cares about and cares about more than his heirs.
As for those collateral lines that have been born for three generations, they are not in his consideration at all.
On the contrary, those people are the most guarded.
"Are you sure you would marry Isabel if what happened today didn't happen, and Isabel also knows what you want?"
Grosvenor frowned suddenly.
After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "Isabelle marrying me is definitely the most sensible combination that best suits the interests of the two families.
And I must be her best marriage partner.
Because, my eldest son can inherit the title of Duke, and my second son can inherit the title of Earl of Gosford.
Even the wealth of the Gosford family can be given to the second son.
Among the entire English aristocracy, there is no second nobleman who is younger, higher in status than me, and richer than me. "
Bell and the others cursed in their hearts, but they all nodded affirmatively.
Compared with the status, only Andrew and Charles.
But in terms of money, the two Charles brothers at this time added up and multiplied by one hundred, it was almost comparable to the wealth of the Grosvenor family.
Although Li Changheng is worth 500 million U.S. dollars, even if the pound has fallen to 1:3.6, the Grosvenor family's 200 million pounds property is 720 million U.S. dollars.
He is literally the richest man under 30 in England.
He is also a hereditary duke, not only has a lot of land and properties in London, but also farms and pastures outside London are super landowners calculated on the basis of 100,000 acres.
There are more than 300,000 acres of pastures in Scotland. There is no bigger landowner and lower-key aristocrat than him in England.
"Who could it be?"
When Li Changheng frowned and muttered, Grosvenor, Andrew and the others looked at each other in relief.
If a woman really kills her father, no matter what age it is, it will definitely be a super earthquake for the nobles.
It's a big scandal that can shake their foundations.
As Philip and Li Changheng said, the per capita income of ordinary people in England fell instead of increasing last year and this year.
Those who have long been dissatisfied with the nobles and are increasingly hard on their own lives.
It would be weird if you didn't vent all the anger and dissatisfaction in your heart on the nobles after knowing this.
With a popular base, those speculative or unsuccessful politicians will definitely jump out and make trouble.
Once a wave is formed, it can really shake the entire aristocratic system.
At that time, apart from throwing money at one side, the nobles had only one way to divert the anger of the people.
Besides politicians, the only people who divert attention are capitalists.
Offending these two groups is also treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, and it is the reason that really shakes the foundation of the aristocratic system.
Now that Isabel has an ideal husband waiting for her, the chance of her murdering Gosford is even smaller.
Just a little smaller.
After all, an 18-year-old young aristocratic girl, no one can really know what she thinks and what she has done in private.
Maybe she was in love with a valet and Gosford found out?
In addition, Jeffrey and Fred said in the afternoon that Old Gosford might sell the manor and move his family to London.
No one would do it without a special reason and without a shortage of money.
Li Changheng turned back and said to Harry Hart who was standing behind him, "I want the information of all the servants in Gosford Manor, even the information of their young children."
FK.
Harry Hart nodded and whispered in his ear, "The American you asked me to check is really named Mitch Pearson.
In 1962, I went to Oxford University to study law. After graduating in 1966, not only did I not return to the United States, nor did I find a decent job in England.
If MI5's information is correct, this guy is an accomplished businessman on the surface, but secretly he is the leader of the Gray Gang occupying the East End of London. "
Li Changheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded to Harry Hart, and motioned him to check the information of all the men in the manor.
