Chapter 394: Stockholm Syndrome

Seeing Sophia so highly praise the underground corridor of the Duke's Mansion, Ethan could only accept it.

In fact, what else could he do if he didn't accept it?

There is a saying that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

The Duke's Mansion has been preparing for hundreds of years, and this opportunity will naturally fall into their hands.

And Sophia saw that Ethan no longer objected, so she let it go, and then took out a small stack of information and handed it to Ethan.

"This is sent by the orc, and it contains information about specific members of the Arthur family."

Ethan took it and flipped through it casually, and couldn't help laughing.

This small stack of information doesn't seem to be much, but the content inside is much more detailed than the big book that Sophia provided last time.

It's so detailed that a certain family member will go and do what at what time.

And it's actually the location of the Iris Society's coin factory.

Just as Ethan was reading with relish, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Sophia from the corner of his eye and found that her face didn't seem very good.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Sophia shook her head: "I remember you promised last time not to have any dealings with the orcs, why do you still want to interact with them.

And judging from the situation, you seem to be planning to subdue them."

"I don't want to do that either! But you also saw the previous situation. When we got into trouble, a bunch of people took advantage of us, and only the orcs could help us at that time.

I have to cooperate with them.

In fact, I am also very conflicted now. I always feel that they have bad intentions, but I can't do anything about them." After saying that, Ethan sighed heavily.

Sophia's face eased a lot after hearing this.

However, she still didn't trust the orcs.

"I'm not blaming you for cooperating with the orcs, but the method you used. Why did you ask my sister to be the middleman?"

Ethan frowned when he heard it:

"When did I let Angelina be the middleman? What do you mean by this?"

Sophia also frowned when she heard it: "My sister brought this information. She said that the orcs asked her to pass it on. I don't think it's possible that I misunderstood it!"

Ethan's face turned cold immediately after hearing it.

He has always been careful to protect his family, especially Angelina, and never let her get involved in anything.

How could he let her be the middleman?

But the meaning in Sophia's words was also very clear. Angelina intervened, otherwise why would the orcs give her the information.

Ethan stood up from the bathtub in an instant and was about to find Angelina to ask about the situation.

But Sophia stopped him: "She didn't know you were coming back today, so she wasn't at home and went to the book listening club of the Champs-Elysees lady."

When Ethan heard the name of the Champs-Elysees lady, he knew what had happened and slowly sat back in the bathtub.

Then he said lightly: "I know!"

Seeing that Ethan didn't want to say more, Sophia stopped entangled in this topic and said:

"What are you going to do with the Arthur family?"

"Send the list of personnel in this information to the Casillas family and let them deal with it themselves!" Ethan replied absentmindedly.

Sophia smiled and nodded, then replied "OK", and stopped talking about business and concentrated on helping Ethan take a bath.

...

A few hours later, Angelina heard that Ethan was back, and she rushed home happily.

As soon as they met, Ethan pulled her into the room to talk alone.

"Angelina, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't date Madam de Champs-Elysees? Why did you attend the book listening club?"

Angelina didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a long time, Ethan's first words were to blame her, and she felt a little wronged.

"I... I just think... the rumors about her seem to be wrong. She is actually... a very good woman, very intellectual and knowledgeable."

Ethan noticed that Angelina seemed a little scared, and suddenly blamed himself.

He was too worried, so his tone of voice was a little bad.

So Ethan quickly pulled Angelina to sit on the sofa together, and said in a gentle tone:

"Angelina, I don't blame you, but as I said before, that woman is not as simple as she seems."

"Ethan, I think you have any misunderstandings about her? She is actually a very good person.

For example, she told Solan's story of ants and grasshoppers today, teaching people to be diligent and responsible!

Look, is she very kind!"

After hearing this, Ethan couldn't help laughing.

The Solan that Angelina mentioned was a literary giant from hundreds of years ago.

Everyone knows that this person has a high level of literary attainments. He wrote a Solan fable based on what he saw and heard in his daily life to teach people to be positive and kind!

At first glance, if he can teach others to be kind, this person must be a person of noble character!

But the fact is that this guy was a great lord back then.

He wrote Solan fables for those slaves to listen to.

You say, can he not hope that those slaves will be more diligent and responsible?

Literature is like this. When you use the writing to reflect the person, it often slaps a big mouth.

Normally, who is lazy and good at eating?

This is nature, and no one can change it.

If it weren't for being forced by life, who would have the brain to be diligent and responsible?

Also, what does this have to do with whether Lady Champs-Elysees is kind?

Ethan felt that the matter was a bit serious. Angelina seemed to have been brainwashed a bit seriously.

Once this person has been brainwashed, he must not be forcibly corrected, otherwise the rebellious psychology will only become more severe.

Ethan suddenly had a headache.

Not only because Angelina was brainwashed, but also because I don’t know which bastard took Angelina to attend some book listening party?

Ethan felt that it was necessary to have a good chat with Angelina, first to clear her mind, and then slowly find out that bastard.

"Angelina, I didn't tell you why I didn't let Mrs. Champs approach, because I was worried about the current situation.

I think I was wrong and I should tell you the truth.

Now, let me tell you the truth, there must be something wrong with Mrs. Champs's psychology.

If you get close to her, there will be problems sooner or later. "

"Why do you say that about her? I think she's pretty good!" Angelina replied.

Ethan rubbed his brows and replied slowly: "You may not know that she was kidnapped by a group of orc bandits when she was ten years old.

She was not rescued until she was seventeen years old, and no one knew what happened during this period.

But I can tell you, I can guess.

She must have been repeatedly abused by those orcs, and then fell in love with those orcs and willingly served them. "

Angelina nodded and frowned: "Ah... there is still such a thing?"

"Of course! I don't have to lie to you about this!"

"You said it was reasonable for the orcs to abuse her, but how could she fall in love with the person who abused him?"

“That’s the problem!” Ethan spread his hands: “This is a mental illness called Stockholm Syndrome.

To put it simply, this disease means that in order to prove that they are weak and harmless, the victim will become psychologically dependent on the perpetrator, and then be grateful and help him. "

After hearing this, Angelina's expression changed: "Isn't this just a psychopath! Are you sure Mrs. Champs has this disease?"

"Of course!" Ethan nodded: "Because she is now the agent of the orcs!"

Ethan actually had some words that he kept in his heart but did not dare to speak out.

In fact, Angelina also has this disease, but she is better than Madame Champs, and it is not as serious.

This disease is commonly known as Mary's disease.

People suffering from this disease will sympathize with others without reason, and help others without purpose...
