Chapter 230 - Chapter 230: Aurora ⑥
On that day, Isabella was working in her office. A female secretary entered.
"Chairman, it seems former Manager Samura committed suicide in his cell."
At that report, Isabella did not move a single eyebrow.
"I don't care what happens to people I fired."
She said it coldly, and the secretary trembled. It was because Isabella's anger was conveyed.
The reason for her anger was a letter from Aurora.
In this era, e-mails were also widespread, but this time an old method of transmission, a letter, was used. Its contents were――――
"Even if you say you got rid of a traitor as an apology for using Archibalt Steel to solve the Sowell family's problems, well..."
Looking at the letter on the desk, she muttered that. Former Manager Samura did not commit suicide; he was murdered. It was handled to look like suicide. With an e-mail, there was a possibility of leakage via hacking, but with a letter, there was no such worry.
Furthermore, regarding letters between nobles, the principle is confidentiality. If one tried to make this public, they would be rejected by all other nobles. That was true for anyone.
Isabella decided to focus on her work to forget the contents of the letter from Aurora.
As for Aurora, she was extremely anxious.
"How many more times can I show him this kind of thing?"
She knew her remaining lifespan was short. Even so, she could not accept parting with Steve.
Memories of past events came back. The sweet, noble experience like a watermelon peach since they met. It was not simply a sweet pure love, but something that satisfied intellectual desires. The history of eliminating various enemies and expanding power using industrial products, commodity futures, stock markets, and so on.
Now, a restlessness that made her cherish even her sleep time had seized Aurora.
"I must think of the next thing quickly――――"
Aurora dove into the sea of contemplation, wondering what would catch Steve's interest next.
In this world, computers have been developed to performance levels around the 1990s to realize the ignition timing of the Multi-chamber gun and arbitrage using stock index futures and spot stocks.
I feel it might be a bit too early, but since it's a side story, I guess it's fine.
Please do not point out that Orcma being the Big Bear Empire is a mistake confusing Okuma and O-kuma.
