Chapter 171 Why, Ethan Knight (3)

That being said, there was one thing that Charles agreed with Elijah about–Lucas did leave behind quite a lot of possessions and so many houses, which would be enough for them.

Little did they know that this was far from over, though.

They had yet to work out a solution when Mr. Lector arrived at the Woland Residence with lots of reporters. Before Charles could figure out what was going on, the reporters dashed up to him and showered him with praise, making him dizzy.

Only then did Mr. Lector say, “Old Mr. Woland, you’re so kind and generous. Right now, all you need is to sign your name, and we’ll have everything donated according to your wishes to help those in need. Please sign this document, Old Mr. Woland.” He handed a document and a pen to Charles.

Despite being dizzy at being lavished with praise, Charles wasn’t completely befuddled yet. “What is this?”

Mr. Lector replied flawlessly, “This is a document signed by Mr. Pierce Woland and Miss Alice Woland to give away all the estate left by Lucas Woland and his wife. They said this is what you want, so they will respect and lend you their support on this, Old Mr. Woland.”

Charles was absolutely stupefied. When did I say I wanted to give away those things? They’re all mine, so why should I give them away? However, there were so many reporters present at this moment. If he were to say he wasn’t going to donate anything, he would probably be torn apart. The reporters had purposely flattered him just now. If he were to refuse to sign the document right now, not only would he be objecting to it, but he would also be going back on his word. Moreover, Pierce and Alice had signed the document, so he could no longer keep the fortune even if he wanted. However, those things were all his. He didn’t want to give them away, and he mustn’t give them away either. If he were to do so, how was he going to get by in the future?

Leaning close to Charles‘ ear, Mr. Lector whispered, “Old Mr. Woland, my client said that if you refuse to give it away, he will sell off the estate of Lucas Woland and his wife at one dollar. As their son, he absolutely has the right to do so, by which time you’ll only end up losing your reputation without gaining anything.”

had no other choice at this very moment. If he refused to sign the document right now, he might become the object of criticism. Despite his resentment, he couldn’t do anything about the situation at this very moment. In the end, he had no choice but to sign the document.
