Chapter 7

3 months had passed and the Count of Monte Cristo went to Albert's house to visit Albert and all his friends. There, Albert told all of them how The Count had saved his life from Luigi Vampa. That story impressed all Albert's friends. The Count of Monte Cristo also learnt that Albert was marrying Eugenie Danglars and that the only reason for that marriage was the money the Danglars had.
