Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239: You Can’t Give Up This Identity
Pei Yuanchen returned to the Dynasty Hotel.
In the car, he changed into a custom-made suit, once again becoming the distinguished and aloof Ludwig.
"Sir." After he got out of the car, the bodyguard spoke respectfully, "You shouldn’t go out alone."
Pei Yuanchen glanced at him coldly and strode into the hotel.
These bodyguards were William’s people, so they would report his every movement in great detail.
He sneered, curling his lips.
The man returned to the room.
Claudia was sitting in the middle of the living room, wearing only a bathrobe, her long legs crossed, holding a glass of wine.
Pei Yuanchen ignored her and went straight to the room.
"Ludwig." The woman had no choice but to call out to him, her face very sullen, "Where did you go?"
"None of your business." Pei Yuanchen replied coldly, his hand already on the doorknob.
"He Ziyi, is that her name?" Claudia chuckled lowly, "Is she your old lover?"
Pei Yuanchen’s motion suddenly halted.
He cast his gaze at her, as cold as ice: "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing, just curious." Claudia laughed, uncrossing her legs and standing up, "Ludwig, do you know? To solidify your inheritance rights, you should have a child."
Pei Yuanchen scoffed: "So?"
"I can give you this child." The woman lifted her chin, her demeanor elegant and arrogant.
"The one who truly needs a child is you, isn’t it?" Pei Yuanchen sneered, "Miss Aister, I think you’ve always misunderstood something. I’ve never assumed Ludwig’s identity for the Sorren Family’s wealth. Do you actually think I’d want to be Ludwig for a lifetime?"
Even if he were interested in the Sorren Family’s inheritance, he would seize it as Pei Yuanchen, not by transforming himself completely into another person.
Claudia’s expression subtly changed.
"What do you mean by this?" she murmured, a tinge of terror lurking in her throat.
"Just what it sounds like." He smiled coldly, "I will abandon Ludwig’s identity sooner or later. In fact, the sooner, the better."
Claudia’s face instantly turned ashen.
"But you are Ludwig, everyone believes you are Ludwig!" she bit her red lips, "You cannot abandon this identity!"
"If Miss Aister is willing to cooperate, I’ll make every effort to secure you enough wealth." Pei Yuanchen looked at her mockingly, "But if you disdain my help, then suit yourself."
Claudia clenched her hands tightly, barely suppressing her inner anger.
"How could you bear to give up Ludwig’s identity?" she still couldn’t understand, her expression a mix of shock and anger, "Everyone now believes you are Ludwig!"
The true Ludwig, on the other hand, has never been known to anyone.
If this man wished, he could easily use this identity to legitimately seize everything from the Sorren Family.
The Sorren Family had many collateral branches, and Ludwig was William’s only acknowledged child. If Ludwig died, the collateral relatives would certainly not let it rest, and William’s shares might end up fragmented.
William didn’t want his life’s work to be taken by those nephews, so he simply brought back his illegitimate son to inherit Ludwig’s identity and everything from the Sorren Family.
