Chapter 341: The Tone of the Male Host!

"No, have you ever heard of a noble Young Lady named Gervas?"

Just as the young men were searching for a suitable reason for Catherine's transformation, another young man raised a doubt.

And this name, everyone naturally knew could not belong to a noble Young Lady.

Thus, in an instant, the hearts of several young men finally plummeted to the bottom.

"Gervas? Storm Domain? Why do I feel it sounds a bit familiar! Cousin Dorel, have you heard of it?" Scarlett seemed to recall something.

After her reminder, Dorel finally remembered.

"It's him! That minor noble who cooperated with Catherine. Uncle Finnel mentioned him when he returned. It's that fellow who wanted to attach himself to our family..."

"It's him?" Scarlett also immediately recalled.

"Scarlett, Dorel, who exactly is it?" the young men asked anxiously.

Dorel and Scarlett exchanged a glance and did not conceal the truth.

"Everyone, you know about telescopes, right?"

"Of course we know. They are very popular in the Capital now, and, as you said before, this seems to be Catherine's enterprise, right?"

The reason several people liked Catherine so much.

Besides the boost from Catherine's beauty, there was actually another point: Catherine's family enterprise and that single-barrel telescope.

Especially that single-barrel telescope, which was currently being pursued by the powerful and noble in the Capital.

It was not only about monetary profit, but also about benefits to one's reputation.

Thus, if one could marry Catherine, it would be a good thing to gain both wealth and fame.

"Everyone, that single-barrel telescope is indeed Catherine's enterprise, but you also know, Catherine only holds half the shares."

"And the other half actually belongs to this minor noble named Gervas!"

"Previously, after confirming that Catherine is of the Hernand family bloodline, my uncle Finnel went to talk to that minor noble to discuss buying back half the shares. Our Hernand family is willing to acquire them!"

"At the same time, to make him stay away from Catherine!"

"But that minor noble probably wanted to attach himself to our Hernand family through Catherine, so he refused to agree."

"And as for Cousin Catherine's character, you just saw it. She is kind-hearted, so she has always been influenced by that minor noble..."

Dorel explained in detail to everyone.

Of course, he cleverly did not point out some details, such as whether that single-barrel telescope was invented by the Violet family or by Gervas.

And the young men did not care about those things.

They only heard that the minor noble shamelessly continued to pester Catherine, wanting to take the opportunity to attach himself to a great noble family like theirs.

This also completely matched their past understanding of minor nobles.

"So it is like this. That damn pretty boy, how shameless!"

"Yes, wanting to attach himself to a great family through Catherine. What a shameless fellow!"

"Everyone, let's go, let's go take a look together!" Seeing everyone filled with indignation, Dorel simply led several noble young men out of the restaurant.

"Gervas!"

"Forgive my impertinent visit. Catherine, did I disturb you?"

"No, just, why did you come suddenly?" Catherine wore a smile on her face.

"Suddenly I missed you a bit, so I came!" Gervas, thinking of the Hernand family matter, simply said something flirtatious.

On other days, he definitely would not have been so frivolous, because he understood Catherine's character.

A cold goddess.

She disliked smooth-talking young masters the most.

However, he felt he needed to be proactive now.

First, the relationship between the two could be furthered.

Although with his current abilities, he did not lack women.

But this Catherine was indeed good, especially her nature.

Absolutely incomparable to those noble Young Ladies who played fancy games.

So, if possible, he definitely would not let her slip away from his hands.

Catherine was stunned, then her pretty face immediately flushed slightly red.

If it were on other days, Catherine would definitely have asked when Gervas learned the tricks of those dissolute young masters.

But thinking of those disgusting fellows in the restaurant just now, compared to them, even if Gervas said such frivolous words, he was more pleasing to the eye.

"Since you want to come, then come!" Catherine's expression feigned slight displeasure, but her answer already represented everything.

And Gervas smiled slightly, already knowing the score in his heart.

However, he took the advantage and pretended to be aggrieved, explaining: "Actually, it was just a joke just now. I went to Iron Wolf City to handle business today, and on the return trip, I felt it was getting late, so I came to visit you, Catherine!"

Catherine's breath halted for a moment, and she clenched her silver teeth tightly.

You might as well not have explained!

Just at this moment, a sound came from behind Catherine.

Catherine finally remembered something. "Gervas, let's enter the castle first! However, there are still a few guests in the castle tonight, from the Hernand family and... the Hernand family's allies. I hope you do not mind!"

"Is that so? Of course I do not mind!"

Immediately, Gervas walked into the castle gate under Catherine's invitation.

Just at this moment, Scarlett, Dorel, and the others also just walked out of the inner castle gate and arrived at the front courtyard.

The moment the two sides met, Gervas felt hostile gazes.

Whether it was the several young men or Scarlett and Dorel, the gazes they directed at Gervas were filled with hostility.

Of course, Gervas did not care at all; he already knew exactly what was happening from the intelligence.

Before Catherine could introduce anything, he instead took on the air of the host. "Catherine, are these your cousins who traveled from afar and their friends?"

"Have you treated them well? Since they traveled such a distance, it would be rude if you neglected them."

Catherine was stunned.

The few people opposite were also stunned.

What kind of status would allow one to speak in such a tone?

Setting aside husband and wife, at the very least, they must be very close friends, right?

Seeing the gazes of the few people opposite, Catherine suddenly realized.

She seemed to understand what Gervas wanted to do.

She simply gritted her teeth and revealed a brilliant smile.

"Gervas, you need not worry; I still know the proper hospitality that should be shown!"

"By the way, Cousin Scarlett, Cousin Doyle, and everyone else, this is Gervas, my... um, good friend!"

Hearing Catherine's reply, the expressions of Scarlett and the others finally began to change one by one.

After all, the dialogue between the two of them was enough to spark wild imaginations.

A man from another family, and how Catherine treated guests.

Yet the hostess, Catherine, was not offended and even tacitly approved; the relationship between the two was now self-evident.

"Catherine, did you just say you were dining? Quickly send the guests back!"

"Additionally, I rushed here all the way, so I am also a bit hungry!" Gervas continued to drive the knife deeper.

"Alright, Gervas!" Catherine nodded gently, then quickly instructed the servant, "Hurry and prepare a new set of tableware. Also, tell the kitchen to continue cooking the food. Tell them Gervas has arrived!"

"Yes, my lord the Count!"

Afterwards, the servant hurried off toward the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Catherine led the group, whose faces had turned iron-green, back to the dining hall.
