Dragon Family

There are still ten minutes before the appointed time.The sky was gloomy, with thick clouds pressing down on the roofs, making people breathless.The townspeople entered the church one after another, and Cress and Audrey sat in the carriage, waiting for most of the people to enter before getting out of the carriage.

Audrey grabbed Chris's hand: "Oh, I feel a little real... If Jeff inherits the inheritance, where will we live in the future?"

Kleiss said, "There will always be a place to live."

Audrey took a deep breath, "I'm beginning to feel what my mother feels, and it's unsettling."

Chris helped her through the door.

Audrey took his arm, and the heavy burden on her body suddenly found someone to share it with.

"Thank you for coming back, brother." Her voice was low and soft, like a thin flowing spring of wine, and like a spring breeze blowing with fragrance.

As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Mrs. Grantham.She sat in the front row of the church, with no one on either side.The church was noisy and full of voices.The townspeople were pointing and whispering behind her back, but she didn't realize it.

Audrey let go of Clays, and trotted to Mrs. Grantham's side.Looking at those bloodshot and tired eyes, she felt a pain in her heart, and the hatred for the slap last night was thrown away, and she called out in a low voice, "Mom."

Mrs. Grantham was shocked, as if waking up from a nightmare. She glanced at her with horror and horror, and she didn't relax until she recognized it: "It's you, Audrey. What's wrong with your face... Oh!" She remembered that this was her masterpiece, covered her face in shame, and let go after a while, "Sit down, don't let others notice your panic."

Audrey said: "Where did you go last night? You know how worried I am about you!"

"Walk around." Mrs. Grantham paused, realizing that this lie could not fool even a three-year-old child, and changed her words, "I'll go to Marshall, he must have made a mistake about the fingerprints."

"How did he say?"

"He avoided seeing it." She rubbed her brows.

Audrey asked, "When did you come?"

"I don't know, when the door was just opened... maybe."

Audrey was a little worried when she saw her talking in a confused way: "I can completely understand if you don't want to stay here. My brother and I are enough here. You can go home and wait for the news."

Marshall and Tang En came out one after the other, with solemn expressions.

Seeing them, Mrs. Grantham swept away her depression, raised her hand to straighten her temples, and said calmly, "No, I want to sit here and watch how they confuse right and wrong in front of the goddess."

She didn't lower her voice, both Marshall and Dunn could hear clearly.

The muscles on Marshall's face trembled slightly, he leaned forward with a dry smile and said, "Goddess, I promise that everything is fair and honest."

Mrs. Grantham watched him warily. Yesterday's unfeeling was vivid, and today's flattery was suspicious.

Marshall hit a snag and retreated embarrassingly.

Jeff and Kim saw Mrs. Grantham and others sitting in the first row, and immediately pushed through the crowd and came in abruptly. "Hey, Lord Sacrifice, Lord Mayor. You look really radiant today, and you are very proud."

"Thank you." Tang En looked at Kleis uncomfortably.

Chris hung his head listlessly.

In the eyes of others, the timid Kerry was too frightened to even raise his head to say hello.But in Tang En's eyes, it was immediately interpreted as: the great and noble leader is impatient!

"Sit down quickly!" Tang En urged, "Don't waste everyone's precious time, let's start quickly."

"..." Kim whispered to Jeff, "Are we late?"

Jeff said, "Not this time."

Kim: "..."

Jeff leaned into his ear and whispered, "The priest hates Grantham, he can't wait."

As if confirming his words, Tang En said loudly: "Thank you gentlemen and ladies who took the time to come. Not long ago, a heart-wrenching tragedy happened in this dreamlike land. Dear Master Grantham passed away Go west and leave us forever, leaving behind a virtuous wife, young children, and a fortune that can be used to benefit one party or to harm the other party."

Jeff shifted his hip uneasily.

"Master Grantham is the pillar of Rip Town, and his successor is not only related to the future of the Grantham family, but also to the future of Rip Town. For this reason, Master Grantham established a long time ago I made an oral will, and Lord Marshall and I are witnesses."

Hearing this, the drowsy crowd lifted their spirits a little.

Mrs. Grantham and Audrey held each other's hands, their bodies trembling slightly.Even Jeff and Kim, who felt they had the chance to win, held their breath and stared intently at Tang En's mouth - where the fate of two people would be decided - a poor man and a rich man.

"He decided to hand over all his property to..." Tang En looked at Clays with his head bowed, and said slowly, "His son, Kerry Grantham, will inherit it!"

"Phew!" Mrs. Grantham completely forgot about etiquette and exhaled exaggeratedly.All the strength in her body seemed to be drained by the breath she just exhaled, allowing Audrey to pinch her own hand.

"Oh my god!" Audrey murmured absentmindedly, "Is it my brother? Is it my brother?"

"No, that's not what we said before!" Jeff roared angrily.

Tang En looked at him calmly, "Mr. Jeff Grantham, do you think the money you promised can make a devout believer betray the trust of the goddess, betray his conscience, and bully women and children? If you think so, I must Tell you how wrong you are!"

Kim looked at the mayor.

Marshall said: "Master Grantham loves his wife and his children. He is a good man. There is nothing objectionable about this will!"

The townspeople agree.Although Mrs. Grantham is a vain and arrogant person, she is still more decent than the insolent Jeff.If Master Grantham hadn't been a fool, he would never have left Jeff the inheritance.

Kim stopped Jeff, who was about to rush up impulsively, and said in a deep voice, "How do you explain the fingerprints? If the mayor doesn't lose his memory, he should remember what he said at Grantham Manor yesterday, right?"

Marshall calmly took out a piece of paper and handed it to the townspeople in the second row.There is a large fingerprint, a small fingerprint, and a comparative analysis diagram on it.

"I'm about to apologize for this. Due to the staff's mistake, the fingerprint that led to the first comparison was not the one registered by Kerry when he was a child, but another teenager with the same name in the town, Kerry Williams. Found this Afterwards, I compared the fingerprints with the staff overnight, and the results were completely consistent." He pulled Kles up, supported his shoulders, and made him face the townspeople, "This is indeed the only son of Lord Grantham. , the legal heir of Grantham Manor, Kerry Grantham!"

The simple and honest eyes of Kleiss quickly won the favor of the townspeople, and the applause sounded one after another, slowly joining together, shaking every corner of the church for a long time.

Jeff wanted to say something, but Kim held him down.The faces of the two were extremely ugly.Kim said: "There are so many people now, don't mess around."

Jeff bit his lower lip for blood, turned and walked out resentfully.Kim stayed. He wanted to see what kind of benefits Tang En and Marshall had received from Mrs. Grantham, so that they backtracked.

Mrs. Grantham stood up energetically and hugged Marshall, "I really don't know what to say."

Marshall hugged her, "Trust me, I'm always on your side."

Grantham smiled softly.Even though she still had too many doubts in her mind, she knew that it was not time to settle the matter.

Kles watched her turn from distraught to joyful with cold eyes, then turned to Tang En and asked weakly, "Can I say a word?"

"Of course." Dunn personally escorted him to the stage.

Mrs. Grantham sat back beside Audrey and whispered, "Do you know what he's going to say?"

Audrey shook her head, smiled and said, "Probably thanks."

Clays avoided Mrs. Grantham's gaze, hesitated for a while and asked, "Am I the owner of Grantham Manor now?"

"Of course." Tang En, who was standing beside him like a servant, replied graciously.

"Then, can I dispose of it as I please?"

Tang En said loudly: "Of course!" As long as you don't treat me casually, you can do whatever you want, my dear leader!

"Kerry, what do you want to do?" Mrs. Grantham had a premonition that something was wrong.

Kress took a deep breath and said, "I want to donate Grantham Manor to the God of Light."

……

A second of silence, a second of falling out.

The church exploded.

Everyone except Kress was stunned by his generosity.

Mrs Grantham cried hysterically: "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"But," Kress said quietly, "I have a request."

Tang En said blankly: "You say."

"I hope that Mrs. Grantham and my sister can still live in the manor house, and then receive a monthly fee that can guarantee their living expenses." Kles said.

Tang En said: "No problem at all." As expected of being the leader of the Holy Knights, this realm... is beyond reach!

Kress heaved a sigh of relief, "This way I can leave with peace of mind."

Tang En said, "Where are you going?"

Kress shot him a sideways look.

This glance was very fast and very secretive. No one other than Tang En noticed it, and the person who discovered it immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to say a word.
