Chapter 277: Letting go (2)
Edgar’s laughter soon filled the room.
Melanie and her family were more foolish than he thought if they believed Alessandra would hand over responsibility to Melanie.
"Melanie should be the one to decide? For her to give only the children she cares for? Including the son who is not her blood son?" Edgar asked, knowing how this would end.
It was obvious to Edgar what would happen should Alessandra allow her mother to take over.
"I also do not trust that she would share it out evenly. Surely, Luke would get money, though he is not entitled to it. Claire and I have been sharing with Luke over the years so he doesn’t feel excluded," Melody revealed.
"He is not related to the Cromwells’ family by blood," said Edgar, not caring about Luke being included. "Is that all that was said?"
"Some feel like you give plenty to your children, though they do not need it. It was only a suggestion amongst the family, but I would not be surprised if they tried to fight you for your share of the mines," said Melody.
At this point, Melody wouldn’t put anything past her siblings or mother. Her father was the only one she could trust.
Edgar looked at Alessandra, who appeared to be in deep thought. "You have been far too generous by giving them more than what your grandmother wanted you to," he said.
"What?" Melody said, confused as to what Edgar meant.
