Remember [Chinese Network] wwwA in one second, and provide you with high-speed text debut. Filled with pleasure, Charles sent Monsieur de Trivo, who had already lost his soul, away.

He was very satisfied with the other party's extremely disappointed expression, and he specially called him over today.

However, making it impossible for him to step down in person is just the beginning, and he will continue to clean up the residual influence of this person, and he will definitely not leave any mercy.

That's right, he has never been a magnanimous person, especially for those who have threatened him, and he has no forgiveness when he can, he will definitely try his best to eradicate the threat and not leave himself in trouble.

It's your choice.

After sneering for a moment, he put his thoughts back on his unfinished business and went on with his unfinished business.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"Come in." He hurriedly responded.

Then, the door opened, and his secretary walked in heartily.

"What's the matter?" He asked without looking up.

"This was just delivered, sir." The secretary heartily handed a scorn to his desk.

Well? Charles was slightly startled.

After a while, he picked up the slip directly, and in his heart he was guessing who sent it.

If it was an ordinary person, his secretary would never dare to help deliver the note casually.

Then, as soon as he saw Juanxiu's handwriting on the contempt, he immediately understood.

This is what Charlotte wrote?

The originally sluggish spirit immediately reinvigorated, and Charles quickly corrected his attitude and looked at it seriously.

"We've seen each other so little lately, are you really that busy? Can you spare some time? When you come to me, I have something important to tell you. Respond early. Summer. ”

After reading it, Charles couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The note was short, and the words on it were very simple, but he couldn't put it aside for a long time.

Charlotte's tone seemed to be a little unpleasant, and she seemed to have some grievances after being left out, and she might lose her temper with herself next.

However, it is true that I have rarely seen her recently, and it is normal for her to be unhappy even if she is unhappy...... Thinking of this, Charles was also relieved.

Let's be honest. He did feel a little guilty about Charlotte because he was busy with business, and more importantly, about Matilda and Mary...... Well, can't think about it anymore.

So, with a wry smile, he picked up the pen and soon wrote a note as well.

"Okay, I see, I'll come to you this afternoon. Wait for me. Sorry, I've been too busy lately. Love you, Natsu. ”

Then he handed the note to the secretary, "Give it to the messenger who came to deliver the letter." Let him send it straight back. ”

"Yes, sir." The secretary hurriedly answered, then took the slip and left.

…………………………

"Charles, you're willing to appreciate it today!"

After all the official duties are done. Charles arrived at the Duke's palace in the evening.

At this time, it is already the depths of winter, and the weather has become very cold. Even in the afternoon, the temperature was not high, and Charles took a deep breath after stepping out of the carriage. Then there was a sudden shudder.

After staying in the office for a long time, it is really difficult to adapt to the outdoor temperature.

Almost as soon as he reached the vestibule, Charlotte had already greeted him, and then looked at him with some displeasure.

As soon as she saw Charles, she frowned slightly, obviously looking a little unhappy.

Because it was winter, she was wearing a thick white winter dress, and her blonde hair was simply combed into a braid and coiled on the back of her head, not as flowery as in summer, but rather a little solemn, but it looked a little more charming.

However, when Charles looked at her delicate face, he inevitably felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Charlotte, I can't help it, can't I? Recently ......"

"Okay, okay, I know, you have a lot of responsibilities and are busy with official business, and you can't spare time to ......" Charlotte waved her hand impatiently, "Really, it's this kind of reason every time, and I'm tired of hearing it." ”

"But it's the truth!" Charles sighed, "Others don't know, surely you know?" Alright, Lolot, don't be angry, let's go in first, it's freezing here. ”

"If you're afraid of the cold, you can wear more! Really, I didn't know how to look at the sky from the time I started! Although he said so much, seeing that Charles was a little shrunken, Charlotte didn't bother anymore, turned around and led him to his mansion.

"Today you said you were going to tell me something, what is it?" As he walked, Charles asked heartily.

"Why, sir, don't you want to come here if it's all right?" Charlotte glanced at him with some dissatisfaction.

"Oh! Of course I didn't mean that! Charles hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just that if something big happens, you tell me first so that I can keep the bottom line." ”

Unexpectedly, when he said this, Charlotte's expression suddenly became stern, and then she turned her eyes slightly and looked to the side.

"What, is something really happening?" Seeing Charlotte say this, Charles was also slightly shocked in his heart, "Follow me Lolot." ”

"Don't be so loud, stupid!" Charlotte glanced at him disapprovingly, then hesitated slightly, as if choosing a word.

Charles hurried to her side.

Then, at last, she lowered her voice as if she had made up her mind. "Charles, don't spread the word about it yet."

"Okay, of course I won't, tell me quickly!" Charles hurriedly replied.

"Grandpa...... Grandpa......" Charlotte lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was a little panicked and a little painful, "I got sick again today, and I almost fainted." Listen to the doctor...... Listen to the doctor maybe, may ......"

Speaking of this, Charlotte's nose suddenly became sour, and there was a little more choking in her tone, "I may not live for a few months." ”

"Huh?" Although Charlotte's tone was soft, Charles still sounded like thunder.

Although I have known for a long time that the Duke of Tréville has not been in good health recently, I really didn't expect that it would deteriorate so quickly.

This shrewd, even somewhat ruthless cousin, is about to pass away?

"This ...... It's horrible......" After a moment, he replied in a somewhat dry tone.

"yes, that's terrible......" Charlotte closed her eyes, and tears seemed to pass through the corners of her eyes, "I still haven't figured it out, grandpa is actually leaving us!" I............ I've never thought of anything like this! ”

Seeing Charlotte's sudden sad look, Charles slowly regained his composure.

Although he was also very sad, after all, this was a cousin, and it was not enough for him to have that breathless pain.

Besides, even grief is useless at this time.

"Lolot, stop crying." He hugged Charlotte in his arms, and tried his best to convey his comfort to her heart, "There will be a day when no one can escape." Besides, he's almost eighty years old now, even if it's true...... Really said goodbye to us, that's ...... That can't be helped. ”

"I understand what you're saying, but ...... But I still can't help but feel sad. Charlotte, who was in Charles's arms, replied in a muffled voice, as if still crying, "That's my grandfather!" ”

As soon as Charlotte replied, Charles didn't know what to say, so he hugged her tighter.

Because of her personality, Charlotte is probably closer to her grandfather than to her father. She is probably the person in her family who is most concerned about the safety of the Duke of Treville, and because of this, she is probably the hardest hit.

"Okay, don't be sad, didn't the doctor say there is still some time left? During this time, we will spend time with him. Charles whispered in Charlotte's ear, "Now, take me to see him first." ”

"I'm going to take you there." Charlotte gently pulled away Charles' arms, "But, Charles, there's something I have to tell you. ”

"Huh? What's up? Charles looked at her with some confusion.

He remembered Charlotte's wording on the note again.

"Although we are hiding it from Grandpa now, Grandpa seems to have some feelings...... Since I woke up, I have called my father and told me a lot of things. Charlotte still whispered in Charles' ear, "Daddy came to me at noon and told him that Grandpa had made a decision. ”

"Decide? Looks like it's about me? Charles looked at her with some bewilderment.

"Yes, about us, to be exact." Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Grandpa wants to dispose of his possessions again. ”

"Is there anything that needs to be re-disposed of?" Charles was still puzzled.

That's right, Charles doesn't see anything to deal with here, the Duke of Trevil only has Charlotte's father, a child, and there is no trouble with inheritance rights at all, so why don't you pass it on directly to his son when the time comes?

"It was also strange for me to hear it at the time, and then my father explained it to me." Charlotte pursed her lips slightly, obviously hesitating, but continued after a moment, "Maybe he is afraid that Dad and Brother will squander and ruin the family, and he wants to convert most of the family's land and other property into cash, and then turn it into a trust, so that they can't ......spend it at will."

Then, a trace of embarrassment and shyness suddenly appeared on her face, and then she raised her head to look at Charles, "According to Grandpa's idea, he wants our children to also be the beneficiaries of this trust, and also share the annual income equally." Other than that...... Other than that...... He also wants the two of us to be overseers and decide on the distribution of this money......"

"Huh?" At this time, Charles was finally completely shocked, and he was speechless for a while.

Let the granddaughter and grandson-in-law discipline the son? Is this old man crazy? To be continued
