After signing the name, the contract paper emits a faint shimmer, and then the whole paper emerges with delicate light patterns that obscure the handwriting but do not interfere with reading. However, it also means that it can no longer be changed, and adding words and crossing out will destroy these delicate patterns.

After that, Angus took advantage of his sobriety and began to explain some things constantly, which people in the chamber of commerce can be trusted, which people are capable but lack of heart, and so on.

After the confession, his symptoms of coughing up blood became more and more serious, and he was about to die.

"Can I ask you a final question?" Lorain Hill looked at the dying father.

"Say it."

"Why do you trust me so much, we've only met once before, what if I'm an Assassin?" Lorain Hill voiced the doubts in his mind.

"Haha... Ahem—" he spat out blood, then looked up.

"If you trust someone after being together for a long time, I think that's stupid."

"I believe in long-term and reliable interests more than trusting friendship and family affection."

"People's hearts will change, maybe he swears today, but tomorrow he will carry you."

"I'm a businessman and I value profits. My opponents are also a group of businessmen, and they value profit more than I do. ”

"It's not that I look down on them, if they can afford to hire an assassin like you, then I'm defeated, there's nothing to say."

"But would that group invite an assassin like you? No, I have traveled from south to north, what kind of person I have never seen, like you, who is rare in both appearance and knowledge, and I have never met it in my life. It's like two thugs fighting, and one of them will ask the king's daughter to be a thug? If he can afford it, will he still fight with each other? ”

"So, I believe that you have nothing to do with them, and I believe that you will keep your word and protect the rest of my children."

The girl still feels a little unbelievable, does he believe in his own eyes to see people, I don't believe that I am so powerful.

"Well, after getting through this crisis, when your child grows up, I will transfer the property of the Chamber of Commerce to him."

"Thank you, but it doesn't have to be that way." Surprisingly, Angus didn't care if the property was returned to his descendants.

"My child is only 10 years old, and I don't know what he will grow up like in the future, and if he doesn't, giving him such a large fortune will only hurt him. This will make him targeted, and if he is not capable enough, he can easily fall into the trap of others, thus ruining his life. I just want him to grow up in peace, live, marry a wife and have children, and stop being like me. ”

"What if he grows into a very capable person?" The girl asked curiously.

"Then don't worry about it, he will get everything with his own strength, although it is a little troublesome in the early stage, but the satisfaction, pride and sense of accomplishment after success is irreplaceable, which will accompany him for the rest of his life."

"So you just need to shelter him until he gets married, and as for the property in my name, you can do whatever you want."

"Seres, Chelsea, you have worked hard all these years, and I will trouble you two to assist the respected young lady in front of you in the future."

"We will, please rest assured, sir." The housekeeper and the head maid next to him looked at Angus, who had less air in and more air out, and promised sadly.

"I have a few more properties in Hopeland, one for each of these two loyal servants, is that okay?" Angus looked up at Lorain Hill and pleaded.

"No problem, after all, it was all yours." The girl didn't care at all, and in her opinion she could even give more.

"Thank you." Angus handed over the tokens, suicide notes, and other valuables to Loland Hill, and then asked the two servants to leave some distance away, and he had something to say to Loland Hill alone.

After the butler and the head maid had left, Lorain Hill walked over to a stone on Angus's side and sat down, looking at the man who was about to die.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Angus leaned against the boulder, his eyes fixed on the flowing clouds in the sky. "I really didn't expect that I would end my life here."

"Can you hear the story of me as a loser?"

"Hmm."

"I grew up in the Kingdom of Zephyr a long time ago, relying on my father being a baron, causing trouble everywhere, and being a bastard boy." He spoke.

"Until one day I met Elaine's mother, she was a young lady from a declining aristocratic family, and the family had no land, and the family could only live on poverty."

"At that time, I laughed at her parents for making a fool of themselves in order to pretend to be decent, and I thought she would be angry, but she ignored me."

Angus's eyes were a little dazed. "So I teased her, saying she was ugly, and scared her with worms."

But she was unmoved, still sitting under the tree and reading, and that demure appearance suddenly moved my heart.

"I'm curious, why isn't she angry, does she have any capital to be proud of."

"I inquired about the people around me and learned that their family was actually very poor, and her mother was a vain person, who often lost her temper because she was not satisfied, and often spread fire on her at home."

"Under normal circumstances, most of these children will become timid, withdrawn, and have an eccentric temperament."

"But she didn't, and I was weird, and finally ran over to her one day and asked her."

"She replied to me that my mother was the fourth lady who was not welcomed in the family in her early years, so she would be particularly concerned about face, because it hurt my mother's heart and had a gap, so she would be eager to fill this wound."

"But won't your heart hurt if your mother beats and scolds you like this? I asked curiously. ”

"Yes, I'm going to be sad, I'm going to want to cry, but I don't want to be like that. At that time, she sat under the windowsill, as if a light was shining on her. ”

"From that moment on, I fell in love with her."

"I fanatically pursued her, confessed to her, and wanted her to admit it, but she didn't agree to me."

I was puzzled and asked why. She said she didn't want to marry a gentleman, and I told her I loved her more than anything else. ”

But she still rejected me, why, I asked again. She said that even if I really love it, I can't do it, because people change, especially a noble child like me who depends on my family. ”

"Everything I do comes from my family, and I don't have any big skills. If you reluctantly get married, and the elders and relatives in the family talk nonsense and keep interfering, I can't refute and be affected by it, because life still depends on the family, and this relationship cannot be severed, and I have no right to speak. ”

"In that case, even if you get married, you will be very tired, and sooner or later one day both of you will be tired and change your mind."

"I couldn't argue with her at the time. So he desperately tried to find a way to make money. ”

"An inexperienced person suddenly wanted to make a lot of money, and the result was that I was a mess and was locked up by my father for a month."

"After I came out, I tried to make a little money, and I didn't rely on my family alone."

"I'm good at arithmetic, so I'll help those merchants get reports. Until one day I heard that her parents were going to marry her off for money. ”

"I couldn't help it, ran to her house, met secretly, and proposed to her again. At that time, I was no longer favored by my family, I was left out in the cold, and I had some low expectations. ”

"But what I didn't expect was that this time she promised me, and she said that at least I am now a person who can live independently."

"So she married me, a bastard in the eyes of outsiders, without hesitation, and lied that she was pregnant, so that her parents had to agree, because if she was not a virgin, other nobles would not marry her."

"After she gave birth to a daughter, her body was greatly damaged and she passed away within a few years. Later, I was framed for my brothers fighting over the family property, and I had to leave the country to temporarily foster Elaine at a friend's house. ”

"Then it was nothing, this bastard kid had some shit luck, made a fortune, and was ready to pick up his daughter again to live with him, and then the farce came to an abrupt end on the way home."
