One thousand pounds, in just half a month, I was easily deceived by "Lydia"!

Yes, Mr. Bennett would not be as naive as his wife and daughter, and believed that his younger daughter would do something big business.

Mr. Bennett felt that it was probably because his youngest daughter had squandered all the money in her hands, so she found an excuse to be more money than her family.

"Lydia" was able to cheat money successfully, and this matter was also his responsibility.

Perhaps because of the younger daughter's quick repaid of gambling debts, Mr. Bennett saw some hope and felt that this daughter was not completely helpless.

So, after returning to Longborn, he rarely talked to his wife and daughters about what happened in London. At most, everyone knew that Wickham was a gambler, and he eloped without regard for the gentlemanly decent luring Lydia.

And these are basically rumors that follow the crowd. Although many people say it well, none of us has seen it with our own eyes.

Unlike Mr. Bennett, he once met with Wickham’s creditors and had personally seen Wickham’s greed and shamelessness!

With a husband like Wickham, Lydia, who is not very worry-free, will be greatly affected.

For example, Mr. Bennett never expected that their daughter, a middle-class and active squire family, would go back to a place full of sins like a casino!

Unfortunately, Bennett did not explain this to his family for various reasons.

It was Elizabeth who had experienced this incident together in London, because he was an unmarried lady, and Mr. Bennett tried his best to hide it from her.

Elizabeth just knew that Wickham was a rogue and Lydia was very worried, but no matter how many details were, she didn't know.

So, when he heard his wife say that all of them invested in "Lydia"'s business (including Jane and Elizabeth), Mr. Bennett was angry and blamed himself.

He did another wrong thing!

Alas, I really shouldn't have hope for "Lydia".

What to do business?

Haha, their Mrs. Wickham probably wants to go to the casino again to have fun!

Mr. Bennett was tortured by this uneasy daughter and was a little helpless.

He really wanted to tell his wife who thought Lydia would make a lot of money and then he could also pay dividends. Your private money that you had saved for many years may have been squandered by this unfilial daughter to go to the casino.

As for whether "Lydia" can kill all the people in the casino like she did in London, Mr. Bennett dared not think so.

What a joke.

"Lydia" really thinks she is the god of gambling? Or is it a lucky person who can always be favored by the goddess of luck?

Even if Mr. Bennett never got involved in a place like a casino, he can still peek at the huge debts that Wickham owes.

People are the place where they do business. At first, they make you win money, but they are just fishing bait.

When the fish is hooked, they will naturally no longer feed them, but will eat fish and drink soup!

Although Mr. Bennett is not as keen on fishing as Mr. Gardner, he has a wide range of knowledge and can figure it out with a brief thought.

Lydia is going to the casino for the first time and should be able to win!

But once she becomes addicted like Wickham, what is waiting for her will be to bet on all her property, owe a lot of debts, and then completely sink into hell.

"Oh~~"

Mr. Bennett rubbed his temples hard. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know when he would start!

After hesitating for a long time, he told Mrs. Bennett in hunch: "We should know very well what kind of personality our daughter we raised. Lydia doesn't do any business at all."

"But the money has been given to her, just think of our family's last friendship with her."

"But, one thing, I must declare, dear Mrs. Bennett, if you don't want our family to be in trouble, don't give Lydia money in the future!"

After saying this, Mr. Bennett glanced at the other four daughters one by one, "And you, my dear children, I know that you all love Lydia and believe in her."

"It's just that, children, Lydia is no longer the Lydia of the past, she, she is Mrs. Wickham now."

"I think you should understand Wickham's character, too!"

There is no such common saying in Britain as a close friend of the Mediterranean, but the truth is the same.

Being with people with noble character will be affected by good things.

vice versa!

He said word by word, "So, my dear Mrs. Bennett, and my children, no matter what Lydia says, don't give her money again!"

Hearing Mr. Bennett's serious words, Mrs. Bennett disagreed, and she believed in her precious daughter.

The reason Mrs. Bennet believed was even more ridiculous: her greatest wish was to marry her daughter with a glorious brilliance, and Lydia, as the youngest daughter, fulfilled her wish first, and Lydia was a good child!

How could a good child who can satisfy his poor mother's wishes be lying?

But Mr. Bennett was deeply saddened by his prejudice against Mr. Wickham.

She instinctively wanted to speak to defend her little daughter, but as soon as she touched her husband's serious and cold eyes, she swallowed her words back.

For a long time, no matter how ridiculous or vain she was, Mr. Bennett at most ignored her and couldn't stand it anymore, so he would sarcastically and mock her a few words.

Mrs. Bennett had long been accustomed to this situation.

However, when Mr. Bennett no longer complained humorously, but became extremely indifferent, Mrs. Bennett felt a little upset: Perhaps, now is not the best time to help Lydia speak nice things!

Mrs. Bennett said nothing, Jane and Elizabeth looked at each other, and finally Jane Wen spoke gently: "Okay, dad!"

Maybe "Lydia" really lied to them, but they are sisters, and there is still this friendship between them.

From now on, at most, just like what my father said, I will no longer be deceived by "Lydia".

Mary continued to be nerdy. For her, money was far less cute than those thick books.

It is precisely this kind of "nobleness" that makes her easily lend the pocket money she has accumulated over the years to her younger sister.

As for Katie, since "Lydia" eloped and the whole family was in panic, she suddenly became less frivolous.

After Mr. Bennett returned, he focused on his fourth daughter and disciplined her more, and Katie became more steady.

Although he is still not as good as his two older sisters, he has also faded his recklessness and vanity.

Although she felt a little sorry for the money she might have been cheated of, she still nodded obediently and agreed, "Yes, Dad!"

Seeing that the daughters were quite sensible, Mr. Bennett felt somewhat comforted.

If this thousand pounds can make the wife and daughters recognize the "true face" of the Wickhams, then the money will not be too unfair!
