Upon hearing that, Attorney Liu nodded in agreent, "That's correct. Miss Thompson is right. All of Lady Thompson's will were notarized at the notary office."
Thompson didn't make any scenes, but with just a few words, she managed to render Ava Kamani and Zoe Fedener speechless.
Having said that, Thompson turned to Attorney Liu and asked, "Attorney Liu, what do I do if my two aunts still won't accept as the head of the family?"
Attorney Liu stepped forward and responded, "Lady Thompson anticipated this, hence, she entrusted you with the authority to handle this yourself. As the head of the clan, you're free to deal with it however you see fit."
Thompson nodded and looked at Ava Kamani and Zoe Fedener, "A few things would indeed require my attention since I am the family head of the Thompson Clan now. Although both of you are my relatives, if you don't acknowledge my authority, there is the door."
After saying that, Thompson pointed towards the door.
Even though she didn't explicitly say it, her aning was very clear.
If you won't submit, leave.
If you don't want to leave, then shut up.
A tense silence filled the room.
Rosalind Rohr looked up at Thompson with a mixture of emotions.
It felt like she was seeing her daughter for the first ti.
Brimming with vigor.
So people are just born to make a difference.
Like her daughter.
At that mont, beholding Thompson in all her resplendence, she felt a sense of pride.
Ava Kamani and Zoe Fedener were at a loss for words.
Leaving the Thompson Clan?
Impossible!
After all, half of Ewik Land Island belongs to the Thompsons, how would they survive if they left?
Thompson looked at them, "Since both of you don't have any objections, I'll take that as your consent."
This will transford Thompson from a young woman into a capable head of the Thompson Clan, taking over guests' reception and overseeing Lady Thompson's funeral. She handled it all with aplomb, as if she were born for leadership.
...
On the other side,
Viola Thompson and Nathaniel Besian were on their way back ho by plane.
The first thing Nathaniel Besian did upon his return was to hand over the auction list to the museum.
Two days passed.
The museum's director, Rosalind Rohr, had not shared the news with anyone, finding it all too surreal.
What if the donor changed his mind?
Or what if that person had made the call out of mischief?
The whole situation might turn embarrassing if word got out.
The fact that the benefactor did not make any further contacts after two days seed reasonable. It would be hard for anyone to part with possessions deed priceless.
Such generosity is beyond everyone's reach.
Just then, her assistant rushed over in a hurry, "The museum director."
"What's wrong?" Rosalind Rohr looked up and asked.
The assistant handed over an envelope, "You have an urgent mail."
Urgent mail?
Rosalind Rohr furrowed her brows slightly and reached out for the envelope.
It was very thin, just an envelope containing paperwork.
Rosalind Rohr opened the envelope and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the contents.
Her gaze revealed disbelief.
What lay inside were two auction lists.
The first item was an ivory carving.
The second item was the golden threaded clothing from the Warring States Period.
Auctioneer: No. 26.
The bottom note on the docunt read: Retrieve goods with this docunt from the Underground City in Camp District. Tearing is invalid.
Besides this, there was no additional information.
This ans that the phone call she received a few days ago was not a hoax.
A mystery buyer from Ewik Land was really donating two national treasures for free!
Realizing this, the museum director's hand began to tremble, fearing she might damage the docunt in the next second.
To her, this was more than a re docunt - it was two priceless national treasures!
After a while, the director managed to recover, her voice trembling, "Quick, get in touch with the Bureau of Antiquities!"
For matters like this, contacting the Bureau of Antiquities is imperative.
The assistant nodded, "Alright, I'll do it right away."
Upon confirming the authenticity of the docunt, the museum imdiately held an important eting to discuss the process of retrieving the national treasures.
At the sa ti, the donor had to be honored.
Rosalind Rohr said, "I spoke with the benefactor's disciple over the phone. He said his benefactor preferred staying low-key and didn't wish to reveal his identity."
Upon hearing that, the leader sitting in the first seat furrowed his brows.
He was curious about the kind of person who would act so unassumingly.
In this impetuous society, these kinds of people were truly rare.
After a mont, the leader said, "Though that's what has been said, Director Rohr, we still must try our best to locate the benefactor. We can keep it a secret from the public, but internally we must honor him."
