The next day, accompanied by his lawyer, William took a private jet back to London after recording his statement. As soon as he got off the plane, Jesse took a few quick steps and hugged William's neck with both hands and kissed him.
Their lips parted, and William, who was in a good mood, hugged Jesse and asked, "Are you used to living in the manor these two days?"
"Not good," Jesse said indignantly. "Abigail, that heartless guy, left the manor's affairs to me and left me alone. She went to Oxford to deal with Miss Lena's birthday party."
"Haha," William laughed as he looked at Jesse, who was tattling. "Let's go, let's go home first."
When they returned to the manor, he took Jesse to do fitness exercises. They did not come out of the bedroom until dinner in the evening.
Looking at Jesse, who exuded a lazy aura, William was in a good mood for a while.
Early the next morning, under Jesse's reluctant gaze, William drove the Aston Martin to Oxford Castle.
An hour and a half later, the car stopped at the gate of the castle and he saw his mother waiting for him at the main entrance with Abigail and the servants.
"Good morning, Mom," William kissed his mother's cheeks as soon as he got out of the car. "How have you been?"
"If you don't keep making news that worries me, I'm sure I'll be doing well."
Although Lina was complaining, the smile on her face was very bright. Surprisingly, she only complained once and let him go. William couldn't help but look at Abigail, who was at the side, strangely.
Abigail, who already knew William well, explained with a smile, "The Chelsea team's points have risen to fourth place yesterday. As long as we maintain this result, we can participate in the Champions League next year."
"Really? I must congratulate you, Mother! "
Lina was so happy that she covered William's cheeks with both hands. "Haha, it's a good thing that I listened to you back then. Mourinho only used two months to bring the team from the middle and lower ranks to fourth place. After winning the game yesterday, the whole of London was celebrating with fans."
After saying that, Lena looked at William strangely. "Didn't you arrive in London yesterday? How could you not know such an important thing? "
"This … this …"
Looking at William's awkward expression, Lina thought for a moment and understood. She rolled her eyes at her son. "During the winter transfer, I plan to support Mourinho in strengthening some positions.
It's just that the transfer plan that the team faxed to me a few days ago may involve more than 60 million pounds. William, are we really going to invest so much during the winter break? "
"As long as there are results and the transfer players are worth it, I don't care even if it costs a hundred million pounds. I just hope that the coaches, managers, and owners of other teams won't scold me for disrupting the player market."
William smiled and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I made another five or six billion US dollars from this trip. If Mourinho can win the English Premier League in his first year, I'll give him a 40-kilogram pure gold football the size of a football."
"Slap!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lena slapped William on the shoulder in annoyance. "40 kilograms is more than four million US dollars. You can't spend money like that even if you have money."
"Only with a heavy reward can that guy be motivated to fight. And," William lowered his head and said in his mother's ear, "If nothing goes wrong, 22 tons of gold will be transported to the castle's underground vault in a few days. At that time, you can even use pure gold to make beds and furniture."
"22 tons?"
Lena exclaimed and quickly looked around carefully. She instructed the equally surprised Abigail to prepare lunch. She pulled William into the castle and sat on the sofa in the living room. She whispered, "Where did it come from?"
"Hehe." He knew that the number of tons would definitely surprise his mother, but the real value of these 22 tons was only 230 million US dollars.
As for where it came from, William certainly would not tell the truth. "One of my partners was short of cash, so he directly transferred the gold he stored in a Swiss bank vault to my name."
"Switzerland?" Lena thought for a moment and shook her head. "Then it's better to leave it in the bank and not touch it. Otherwise, not only will it be troublesome to bring it into England, it's also not as safe as a bank vault at home."
"No, mom, you don't understand. The castle's underground vault is safer than a bank, and there are already 160 tons of gold in the vault at home."
"God, 160 tons of gold?" After seeing Lena's eyes light up, William, who was originally a little proud, immediately shut up.
He had shut up, but Lena knew from William's expression that her bastard son had not finished speaking. She pinched William's face with both hands and asked in a low voice, "What other good things are you hiding? Hurry up and tell me honestly, is it jewelry?"
"There are some," William said as he recalled the 14 boxes of jewelry that were bigger than suitcases. "If you like them, I'll go to the treasury later and take a look. You can find someone to make some jewelry for you." William said tentatively. "If you like them, I'll go to the treasury later and take a look.
"A box?" Looking at William with a strange expression, Lena asked nervously, "Are all your jewelry in boxes? How big is the box? "
"This, this." He turned to look at the metal box of tissues on the coffee table and said, "What do you think about the same size as this box?"
"The same size?" Seeing William nod, Lena immediately said, "Then I want two boxes, no problem, good boy."
Looking at his expectant mother, William could not help but roll his eyes. "Alright, two boxes it is."
Lena happily kissed William's forehead heavily and said, "Very good, seeing that you are so obedient, I agree to let your women come to my birthday party."
"Hmm?" Only then did William realize that his mother did not really want the jewelry. She was just looking for an excuse to not make things difficult for him. Holding his mother's hand, William gratefully said, "Thank you, mother."
"Alright, alright." Looking at her son's gaze, Lena joked, "I hope they won't fight when they see each other. It's just a pity that the beautiful noble ladies I invited will probably be disappointed."
"If they are disappointed, then so be it. I don't have any plans to get married." William shrugged and said with a smile, "You invited a few noble ladies. Is that little girl Tina very disappointed in you?"
Lena shook her head and said under William's puzzled gaze, "I haven't seen Tina for more than two months after you were directly promoted from Count to Hereditary Grand Duke. I don't know if that little girl has given up. When I called her, she said she had classes and had no time."
"That's good." These words made William breathe a sigh of relief. William did not want to provoke all the women who wanted to marry him. It was better to stay the way it was now. Even if he occasionally went out to mess around, Abigail and the other two would not care about him.
He chatted with his mother about the castle, the horse farm, and the 34,000 acres of land near the castle. Unknowingly, it was noon.
After lunch, his mother went to take a nap. William held Abigail's hand and went to the stable to see the Red Hare.
