All four ranches were under Luke's name, and he didn't give them to his grandpa directly.
Although he didn't care about that, the stubborn old man clearly did. He only entrusted the ranch to Drax.
Robert had already discussed it with Luke, and suggested that Luke find a professional to take care of it.
Faced with a ranch that had expanded four or five times, Drax could only listen to this suggestion.
His original plan was to buy a small farm next to it.
Luke, however, had given him four ranches at once, which was much more than he had expected. The old man really didn't have the energy and manpower to deal with such a big scene.
The manager had been taking over the ranch during this period, and had a lot of work to do.
Robert had also been a ranch owner before, but he later chose to retire as a sheriff, which was more suitable for him. However, he hadn't forgotten about the ranch, and this hairy son-in-law took time out to help out every day.
After that, Catherine hesitated for a moment before she said awkwardly, "Well, there's a little situation here."
Looking at her expression, Luke said with a smile, "Is Joseph going to have a little sister?"
When Catherine heard that, she immediately spat at him. "What are you thinking about?"
Luke shrugged. "Joseph has always wanted a sister. You and Robert aren't doing anything right now. You can have another one, right?"
Joseph did want a sister, but his motive was a little problematic.
Because he was the youngest in the family, and much younger than everyone else, he had been under the management of the whole family for a long time. This gave him an idea: If he had a younger, more obedient sister, wouldn't she be able to take over the position of the "youngest" and share his worries?
Catherine didn't say anything. Looking at her expression, Luke could tell that she was really considering it.
He said with a smile, "Joseph strongly supports it. I also think it's good to have a little sister. Claire shouldn't be a problem. You don't have to hesitate too much."
Catherine subconsciously nodded. "Robert and I … Huh, wait, what was it that I wanted to talk to you about?"
Luke shrugged. "To give the family a little sister."
Catherine glared at him angrily. "Shut up. That's not what I wanted to say. By the way, it's about your company shares. Robert knows about it. He wants to talk to you. "
Luke was surprised and observed Catherine's expression. "What's his attitude? He doesn't want to withdraw his shares, does he?"
Catherine said, "I don't know, but he doesn't look angry. He just said that he wants to talk to you sometime."
Luke didn't think too much of it.
Robert's personality was more straightforward, and he wouldn't be sarcastic to his family.
Since she didn't call to scold him immediately, it meant that the matter wasn't that serious.
In any case, Robert had never been able to outtalk him. Luke didn't feel any pressure at all.
After that, Luke left to pick up Joseph for dinner.
Carrying a large backpack, he leisurely walked through half of the town and stood outside a courtyard.
Looking at the people and the dog playing in the courtyard, he joked, "It's already six o 'clock. Do you think you can fill your stomachs just by playing?"
The few people and the dog in the courtyard paused. Then, a certain dog head was the fastest. It gave up playing with the little kid at the speed of light and rushed in front of him with a whoosh. A series of whines came out of its nose.
Luke patted the dog's head with a smile. "Alright, Dollar and Gold Nugget are good."
The two little lolitas, Talia and Andrea, also ran over. Their faces were full of smiles, and they even let out laughter that sounded like silver bells — they were indeed laughter that sounded like silver bells. They were not yet old enough to evolve their older sister's barbell-like laughter for the time being.
"Luke, Luke! Go back, go back, go back. "The two little lolis's shouts rang out.
Luke extended his hand with a smile and gave them the same treatment as Gold Nugget. He patted their heads one by one, before he led them into the house. "Let's go. It's been a long time since I last came back. I brought you a little present this time."
As he walked, he didn't forget to call out to Julio, Selina's youngest brother. "You got a present too. Don't just stand there and smile."
As he said that, he mumbled inwardly, Young man, you need to exercise more! With your reaction speed, no wonder I only thought of you last when I was buying a present.
Selina sat on the porch lazily and smiled as she watched Luke "bribe" her siblings. "Are you done?"
Luke chuckled and made an "OK" gesture, as well as a "lot of money."
Selina didn't ask any more questions.
The key points had been explained, and they could talk about the details when they were alone.
It wasn't the right time to talk about money with the four kids around them, because she wasn't sure where the "money" the guy was talking about was from.
She and Luke had taken a certain dog head to loot black money more than a dozen times recently, and they weren't sure about the answer to this question.
Luke's present for the two little lolitas was a gorgeous princess dress.
What a person lacked, they wanted even more.
The two little lolitas usually wore shorts and T-shirts. When they saw the gorgeous dresses that they rarely wore, they beamed and gave him big kisses.
Julio got a baseball bat, which he could play with and use for self-defense.
When Luke gave the baseball bat to Julio, he said solemnly, "Boys have to protect themselves when they're out!"
Julio simply accepted the baseball bat and nodded excitedly.
Joseph's present was at home, and he could only look at other people's presents for now.
Thankfully, Luke and Selina went to Luke's place after saying a few words to each other.
Marino and Sandra had been busy working on the new ranch, and Selina had been back to look after her siblings for a few days.
Now that Luke was back, she took her siblings to his place for dinner.
Robert returned soon after they arrived.
Looking at Luke, he snorted and asked, "Are you free tonight?"
Luke said with a smile, "I'm on vacation. Of course I'm free."
"Then talk to me." He then shut up.
With the addition of Selina and her siblings, dinner was very lively.
Fortunately, Joseph was very sensible. He often spoke of a set of principles, and the other three children were stunned. Although the dinner was not quiet, it was not terrible.
After dinner, Luke drove Selina and her siblings home.
After the kids went to shower, Selina and Luke sat on the porch, each with a can. Selina said, "Tell me, where did you get the money?"
Luke told her about Jenny's manipulation of Stark stocks in the financial market. Selina was stunned. "How much money is there?"
Luke took a big sip of his iced caramel and shook his head. "I don't know the exact number. Jenny is probably still calculating it."
As he spoke, his phone rang.
He picked it up and said a few words before he hung up. He said with a smile, "Based on my calculations, I made almost 5.8 billion dollars this time."
Selina spat out the soda in her mouth.
