Margaret shook her head and forced a smile on her face. "You don't have to thank me. I just don't want all the benefits to go to that bitch who bewitched the old Earl.
If you want to thank me, then get back all the jewelry that bitch got. William, you will do that, right? "
William didn't need to think to know that this woman was testing him. William, who had already thought about this problem, smiled and said, "Of course, Margaery, even if the old Earl's belongings were to be given away, it should be given to you.
That woman has nothing to do with us. Don't worry, she can't take away any property that belongs to the Devonshire Family. "
"Thank you, thank you," Margaret's face showed a happy smile, and the last doubts she had about William disappeared.
To be honest, it wasn't that Margaret didn't suspect that the woman who suddenly appeared next to the old Earl was sent by William.
Now, she had let go of her doubts. On one hand, the old Earl did die in an accident, and the examination report after his death also proved that there was nothing in the old Earl's body that shouldn't be there.
On the other hand, now that William dared to publicly fall out with a woman that Margaret thought was a swindler, it at least showed that he was not afraid to confront that woman.
Otherwise, which swindler would be willing to lose a few million pounds? If they really had a relationship, falling out for money was a small matter. Playing the blame game and endlessly extorting money was a normal operation.
Since he dared to fall out with her, it meant that either William didn't do it, and that the swindler couldn't blackmail him, or William's methods were too brilliant to make that pretentious and greedy swindler not dare to speak.
Regardless of which of these two possibilities it was, Margaret, who was no longer the Countess, didn't even have the capital to continue pestering him.
Even if she toppled William, what could she do? The Devonshire Family was only left with William, who had the right of inheritance.
Once she found evidence to topple William, the Earl of Oxford's title would be directly taken back by the royal family.
Since there were no benefits and no evidence, Margaery would be an idiot if she continued to pester him. The most important thing was that after all these years, she no longer had any feelings for the old earl who had been looking for women everywhere. She really didn't want to offend William who was at the peak of his power.
In addition to William's next words, the unhappiness and worry in Margaret's heart were immediately thrown to the back of her mind.
"I've said publicly before that once I inherit the title and wealth, I'll donate it. But considering your situation, I've decided to set up a foundation with all of the old count's wealth. You'll be the beneficiary until you die. You can also work in the foundation, so that you won't have no purpose in life."
"God, is this true?" When Margaret heard this, she didn't even care about the situation anymore. "You didn't lie to me, William."
William nodded with a smile. He didn't care about the money at all. He was willing to spend some money to shut Margaret's mouth.
"Of course, you should know my situation. After deducting the debt, the old earl's remaining wealth of about six million pounds is nothing in my eyes. In the five minutes I've been talking to you, I've earned a lot more than six million pounds."
"As for the jewels, after I get them back, it's up to you whether you want to sell them and put them into the foundation or keep them for yourself."
Of course, she would keep them for herself. Margaret was just about to say it, but she looked at the young man in front of her who had just said that he had earned more than six million pounds in five minutes.
Margaret resisted her desire for the jewels. As a noble lady, she was no stranger to foundations. If she had children with the old earl, they would have already set up a trust fund.
The reason it didn't work was that the old earl had never had children. In his disappointment and pain, he wanted to see the predicament of not having enough money to inherit once again fall on William's head.
But man proposes, God disposes. In less than a year, the poor boy from before had now become the world's most profitable person.
Therefore, Margaret naturally wanted to hear William's opinion. After all, according to William, although the ownership of the foundation that was about to be set up didn't belong to her, she was the only beneficiary.
The bigger the foundation, the more money she could get every month. How could Margaret, who was less than 40 years old, not care about this?
"What do you think, William?" Margaret tried her best to ask in a kind tone.
"Of course it's to sell it and exchange it for company shares with more appreciation potential. Ordinary jewels can double in ten years, but if it's exchanged for shares, it won't just double. You won't doubt my foresight in the stock market, right?" William said with a smile.
"Of course, of course. God, I can't think of anyone in the world who has the ability to make money better than you," Margaret praised in an exaggerated and slightly flattering tone.
"Thank you," William said with a smile. "Then go to Yueshi Law Office tomorrow. I'll let my private lawyer, Anthony, personally explain the situation of the new foundation to you before you sign it. These are all to thank you for standing up for the fair words you said a few days ago."
"Margaret, this is what you deserve. After all, you're the widow of the Devonshire family. I have the responsibility and obligation to make sure you don't have to worry about food and clothing. However, this agreement is only effective when your surname is still Devonshire."
"Of course, I understand that once I get married, it will have nothing to do with you. But still, thank you, William. God will bless you. Child, I, I,"
With her life guaranteed, Margaret, who had been hesitating for a few days, finally felt relieved. She knew very well that only someone like William, who didn't care about that little bit of money, would make such arrangements for her.
Otherwise, if it were another noble, she would definitely be kicked out of the house immediately. Other than her personal belongings, she wouldn't be able to take anything away.
After hugging William, Margaret whispered in his ear, "You're a good child, William. Be careful of the people around the old Earl. Once you start checking the accounts, they won't be friendly to you."
"Don't worry, Margaret, they won't be able to touch me," William patted Margaret's back. "Alright, Madam, I have to go to the Platinum Palace. I wish you a pleasant day."
"Of course, child, I'll definitely have a pleasant day. Bye bye."
After separating, William returned to his mother and Anthony's side. He repeated the promise he just made to Margaret with Anthony and helped him donate a sum of money equal to the old Earl's wealth to the English Women's and Children's Foundation.
Anthony hurriedly nodded. "No problem, Boss. I'll personally receive Madam Margaret tomorrow."
"Okay," William looked at his mother, who was a little absent-minded, and smiled as he held her hand. "Let's go, Mom. We still have to see His Majesty Philip. I'll take care of the other things."
"Hmm?" Hearing William's words, Lena forced herself to calm down. Looking at her smiling son, her heart couldn't help but thump. "Okay, okay."
Without letting his mother make wild guesses, William held Lena's hand. Lena immediately understood that William knew everything she had done before.
"It's okay, Mom, I'll take care of it. You just need to know that I know you love me very, very much. Everything you do is for me, and I love you very, very much."
