Chapter 139 Dogs and Lullabies

These three big dogs are all over one meter long, with shiny black fur. When they run, the muscles in their legs and buttocks bulge, revealing clear lines and contours.

Fortunately, the lawyer was close to the window and closed it at the critical moment.

"boom!"

The huge dog's body hit the carriage hard. Although it was a strong enough carriage with a body made of walnut and the outer joints covered with a thick layer of iron sheets, it still shook noticeably.

"Mr. Vernon, this..."

The lawyer had just straightened up and adjusted his tie when the three dogs at the window rammed into the window again, their saliva splashing onto the glass. Through the window, the lawyer could see three pairs of red eyes.

The lawyer was so frightened that he rolled and crawled to the middle of the carriage and lay down trembling.

"Old Crowber, take these damned beasts away with you!"

Although Vernon spoke in a bad tone, he did not dare to open the window and just shouted loudly in the car.

After a while, a short man came out from the bushes. He was about 50 years old and had a strong build. He was wearing a dark green coat with his chest unbuttoned, revealing a dirty white vest underneath. The vest was covered with dark brown stains, and his protruding belly made the vest full.

He held a double-barreled shotgun in his hand. The shotgun was as dirty but sturdy as he was. Old Klauber scratched his bald head, took out a handful of dried meat of some unknown creature from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

The three big black dogs then left the carriage angrily and circled around him with their tails raised.

"The monastery's caretaker, Claude, stay away from him."

The lawyer had completely regretted his decision at this point. In this damn rural place, not only the people but even the dogs were so uneducated.

"Mr. Vernon, please go in quickly. If you can get that damn inheritance right sooner, we can all breathe a sigh of relief."

When they arrived at the gate of the monastery, Vernon first arranged his men in the carriage behind him to go to the barn next to it, and then he and the lawyer pushed open the heavy iron-clad wooden door.

"Genevieve, make two bowls of hot potato chowder and roast a chicken. If you bring cold bread again, I'll shove your head in your mouth."

As soon as he entered the door, Vernon shouted loudly towards the depths of the dark old house. He threw his windbreaker aside and was about to sit on the sofa next to the fireplace to relax his legs and feet, but he found that there was already someone sitting on the sofa with his back to him.

That was his sister, the damn whore, Ava Baldwin. She had a thick blanket on her legs and a wine glass in her hand. Vernon glanced at the bottle on the small coffee table. She should have finished half a bottle of whiskey by herself.

"Our Baldwin family is so poor that we don't have the money to hire a tutor for our children. Vernon, I wonder if you learned the aristocratic etiquette well when you were a child."

Ava took another sip of wine:

"I almost forgot that when you were a kid, you were not interested in things in books. You were obsessed with studying your own body structure, hahaha.

Ava! Next time you come into my house, remember to knock on that damn door!"

Ava imitated Vernon's tone and laughed to herself, completely ignoring her brother's face which was already blue with anger.

"Snapped!"

The sound of the wine glass breaking was so crisp in the empty living room of the old house that Vernon knocked the wine glass in Ava's hand far away.

"I have to say, Vernon, you are really manly sometimes. At least you are strong enough, only when compared with other women, haha."

Ava was not angry at all. She turned around, took the whiskey bottle, unscrewed the cap and took a sip.

After drinking the liquor, she took out a cigarette box from her arms and inserted the cigarette into her agate holder.

"New here, can you lend me a light?"

She said this to the lawyer, who had been standing far away and watching everything coldly since he entered the door. This was completely within his expectations. How could someone in such a harmonious and friendly family spend a lot of money to invite a lawyer to fight for the family property?

However, Ava's boldness and neurosis were beyond his expectations.

The lawyer took out a match from his pocket and lit a cigarette for Eva. In the dark living room, under the dim light of the fire, the drunk Eva seemed to be on fire, with a hazy and attractive light in her eyes. "Hmph, Barlow, take a rest after dinner. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Vernon snorted in dissatisfaction and turned to walk towards the dining room deep in the old house. The lawyer finally came to his senses, extinguished the match and followed his employer.

The two people's leather shoes made an annoying creaking sound as they stepped on the moldy wooden floor of the old house.

Ava behind them looked at their backs with an intriguing smile on her lips.

"Stay away from that bitch, I'm warning you Barlow, anyone who sleeps with that bitch will end up badly.

When she was thirteen, she began to seduce the new steward of the monastery, who was a married man, and then..."

Vernon's mumbling curses echoed in the dim corridor. The lawyer looked around to see how big this old house was. Before, in the wilderness, with the contrast between the hillside and the low sky, the monastery gave him the illusion of being small in size. But at this moment, standing in the deep corridors, he was shocked by its complex structure.

A monastery of this size is definitely considered a medium-to-large monastery even in New Neuland.

At a corner, the lawyer vaguely saw an open door in the distance. The orange light poured into the dark corridor, giving a hazy sense of unreality.

The lawyer stood at the corner for a while. It seemed as if there was something hiding inside the light and the door, attracting him.

“You should seldom go to that place, because that is Rojo’s study. Rojo is my younger brother, and he is a well-known nerd and psychopath in our family.

I doubt he's even left the monastery in these twenty years."

After the two men had dinner, Vernon personally sent the lawyer back to his room. On the way, he issued three or four intermittent warnings, asking them to stay away from his father's ward, the storage room on the first floor of the house, and the last two rooms in the attic, including Ava and Rojo.

Our mission is to get the inheritance without causing unnecessary trouble for ourselves.

Watching the lawyer's door close, Vernon sneered at the door and went down to the east side of the first floor. The monastery was roughly composed of four rows of rooms, which formed an irregular rectangle with a small courtyard in the middle of the rectangle.

And her other sister Andrea's room was near the courtyard. It was said that the tutor who was in love with her often secretly threw a rope from the second-floor window and then fell down the rope to the courtyard to date her.

"Andrea! Andrea!"

Vernon knocked on the door roughly, and after a long while Andrea opened the door and let him in.

Although Vernon had been to this bedroom several times before, he always felt uncomfortable every time he came. The bedroom was spacious, but it was filled with all kinds of baby supplies. The crib was placed in the corner with a rotating planet toy hanging above the crib, and small pacifier plush dolls were thrown haphazardly on the sofa, bed and floor.

But everyone knows that Andrea has no children.

“I got a lawyer, and he told me that there was no way to exclude that brat from the inheritance.

If he has married and had children, and if he has the time to take his wife and children back to the monastery, he will definitely be included in the competition for the inheritance."

Andrea has secretly formed an alliance with Vernon because he has the leverage over her, but Andrea doesn't care because she has no interest in the inheritance.

"Then let's discuss how to entertain Ricky if he comes to the monastery. Among so many children, the weak ones are always easily bullied by others."

Andrea picked up a baby doll from the crib, gently held it in her arms and rocked it twice, humming a soothing, low lullaby.

Have a nice weekend everyone!
