Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Brothers Settle Accounts Clearly
It didn’t take two days for Cecilia to get back all the real estate left by her grandfather.
Not only did she regain The Hillside Villa at West Mountain Residence, but also several valuable shops and residences in the city center, all under Cecilia’s name.
"I thought Florence Warner and the others would struggle a bit longer, but I didn’t expect things to progress so smoothly."
Cecilia was a bit surprised while accepting the property documents brought over by the lawyer, couldn’t help but express her amazement to the handsome gentleman beside her.
"Adrian, did you secretly use some means behind my back?"
In the past at the Hillside Villa, Florence Warner was clearly clinging to the house and refused to move.
"Guess?"
Adrian Law’s elongated phoenix eyes slightly curved, smilingly gazing at the girl in front of him.
"Playing riddles again? Come on, seriously... I just don’t like people who keep me guessing."
Cecilia, half resigned and half amused, lightly tapped Adrian’s finger, and finally, the man leaned closer, indulging in extreme affection.
"Alright, I’ll tell you..."
When Adrian Law mentioned bringing in the bald scarred man who demolished her grandmother’s house in Veridia City, Cecilia was amazed; wasn’t this just returning favor for a favor?
Upon hearing that Florence Warner and Gregory Vaughn were thrown naked into two sacks onto the street, Cecilia finally exclaimed in admiration!
"Hahaha, that’s wicked, that’s wicked; you have no idea how much Gregory Vaughn and Florence Warner care about their image. They are used to flaunting their wealth and now losing face like this, they surely won’t dare to go out!"
She imagined the scene in her head and couldn’t help but laugh till her stomach hurt.
"If Evan weren’t busy preparing for his college entrance exams, I’d share such amusing news with him."
Cecilia sighed for a long time, suddenly holding the thick stack of real estate agreements in her hand.
"By the way, Adrian, I plan to transfer The Hillside Villa at West Mountain to Evan, you don’t mind, do you? As for the other shops and business buildings downtown, let’s split them evenly with Evan."
Adrian Law contributed significantly to reclaiming this family business, and initially, when Cecilia approached Adrian Law, she even thought of giving him a major share, but the man refused.
Now that the fake marriage has turned genuine, their contract marriage has transformed into a real marriage, and there are no divisions between them. Adrian Law’s entire estate is within her rights of knowing and management. She knows this man is genuinely sincere to her, so she hopes to clearly inform Adrian Law about the assets left by her grandfather, so she won’t forget their whereabouts.
Adrian Law smiled gently as he looked at her, his phoenix eyes twinkling like a clear autumn pond.
"It’s fine, Cecilia, if you want, you can leave them all to Evan, I’ll take care of supporting you."
Cecilia stood on her tiptoes, gently tapping Adrian Law’s cheek.
"Of course not!"
Seeing the man’s somewhat surprised gaze, Cecilia covered her mouth and laughed.
"What if that kid only thinks about inheriting the estate and doesn’t concentrate on studying? Clear records between siblings—yes to being good to Evan, but we can’t foster his laziness."
"..."
Adrian Law was amused by his little wife’s well-structured educational theories.
"You certainly have a talent for speaking... but Evan probably won’t mind either."
"Of course, let him try to mind!"
Cecilia flashed her teeth at Adrian Law, displaying a child-like smug expression.
"I’ve been quite generous to him, haven’t I? If this brat isn’t satisfied with this, as his sister, I’d kick him out!"
"Alright, as you arrange, does this satisfy my beloved wife?"
The man chuckled, taking the thick stack of real estate agreements from Cecilia’s hand and heading towards the safe in the study.
After entering Cecilia’s lunar birthday, the box opened smoothly.
A corner of the box was lifted, revealing a small black wooden object on the far right.
Cecilia’s almond-shaped eyes lit up, and she instantly leaned forward.
"Hey, what’s this?"
Seeing the direction Cecilia pointed, Adrian Law’s eyes swept over the black wooden item, he carefully took it out.
"This is a Ten-hole Ocarina, its material is unknown, somewhat resembling Black Rosewood; it’s something my mother left me, like the Purple Moon Charm necklace, if I hadn’t found it in the safe today, I’d have forgotten it was locked here."
The man spoke casually, but there was a faint melancholy in his demeanor.
Cecilia was stunned; she had only seen television characters play the ocarina in period dramas and had never actually seen someone playing such an ancient instrument.
"Can I take a look?"
Cecilia reached out to take it, feeling the delicate yet irregular texture of the ocarina; her eyes showed some amazement.
"It must be quite old, preserved very well. Adrian, I think your mother must have been an exceptional person. This ocarina is as exquisite as the Purple Moon Charm, and both have very distinct materials."
As she spoke, Cecilia instinctively took off the Purple Moon Charm necklace from her neck.
Florence Warner, The Matriarch of the Law Family, persistently advised her that this necklace was a curse, but Cecilia liked the necklace from the first sight, a kind of inexplicable fondness.
Even without the lights on, thanks to the natural light from outside, the chain of the Purple Moon Charm was bright and radiant, exuding a clear fluid quality like flowing spring water.
"Currently, there are few in Veridia who play the ocarina, those who do are concentrated in The Solara Wilds. I guess your mother might be from over there."
"Perhaps, but The Solara Wilds is surrounded by mountains, known for its ancient customs, with very poor educational resources, while Stellerton is fully modernized, and they are far apart..."
Adrian Law seemed to recall something, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
"If my mother were from The Solara Wilds...she seemed to know everything—from social etiquette in high society to handling with ease."
"Pfft... I was just mentioning casually, perhaps...your mother was a fairy descending from the heavens?! How else would she be so mysterious and beautiful?"
Thinking of Susan Roswell’s captivating beauty, calling her a fairy is truly fitting. Cecilia joked while making a face at Adrian Law.
"Alright, alright, Adrian, can you play the ocarina? Today’s weather is nice; why not I bring out Spring Thunder, and we perform a duet in the garden?"
"I’m familiar with it, we can give it a try."
Adrian Law nodded lightly, his eyes bright with a teasing gleam.
"Of course, if my skills are poor, Cecilia mustn’t laugh at me."
"Certainly not! Playing the Ancient Zither, I’m somewhat a professional; I definitely won’t laugh at you—we half-baked ocarina outsiders."
Usually feeling overshadowed by Adrian Law in everything, now a chance to shine, Cecilia couldn’t help but secretly relish.
"Adrian, come, let’s have a round, you choose the piece and start the tune?"
The man pondered briefly, placing his fingers on the holes of the ocarina, gradually producing the first note...
Just five seconds in, Cecilia was stunned!
How is it this tune?!
