Chapter 13 Buying back the family castle

After returning to the hotel room, he no longer cared about being monitored and slept well.

The next morning, before getting up, he received a call from Anthony's lawyer.

William answered the phone in a daze: "Hello".

"Hello, sorry, BOSS, I call you so early, but I think you should read today's Sun. Call me after you decide what to do."

William hung up Anthony's call and called the front desk with the hotel landline to ask the front desk to send a copy of today's Sun to his room.

"Ding Dong" William heard the doorbell just after brushing his teeth. He rinsed his mouth and wiped it with a towel, opened the door and took the newspaper brought by the hotel waiter.

The hotel waitress looked at William and then at the newspaper in his hand. Her eyes immediately became hot. She flirted with William and asked him: "Sir, this is today's Sun".

He took the newspaper and glanced at the waitress. She was pretty. He smiled at the beauty as a greeting.

Seeing William smiling at her, the waiter threw a wink and said, "Sir, do you need anything else? Our hotel can satisfy you with any needs you have, any needs, sir."

William saw his headshot on the front page of the Sun in his newspaper, and immediately lost interest in looking at the beautiful waiter. He smiled and said to the waiter, "No, I will call the front desk if I need anything, thank you."

After that, he took out a 10-pound tip and handed it to the waiter, then turned around and closed the door.

Seeing that William had no time to pay attention to her, the waiter left with some disappointment.

She had just read the headline of today's Sun on the way to deliver the newspaper. The young man in the newspaper was the young man just now.

This is a billionaire, and a young and handsome billionaire. If something can happen with him, it will be a success.

Originally, he hinted that he hoped something would happen, but unfortunately William was not interested in her.

William sat on the sofa in the room, looking at his large half-length photo on the headline of the Sun today, and he felt bad all over.

After reading it with anger, he just wanted to kill the paparazzi yesterday. How did these paparazzi know what he said in the conference room yesterday? It was as if the paparazzi was taking notes in the conference room at that time.

Not only did they know his name and school, but they also knew his family situation. Should I say that the English paparazzi are worthy of being the ancestors of paparazzi or should I say that the Sun is very powerful?

Looking at the photo of his mother Lina Devonshire in the middle of the headline, William was a little worried about his mother and took out his mobile phone to call his mother.

The phone was connected after a few rings

"Hello, William" Lina's voice came from the phone.

"Hello, good morning, Mom,"

"Is there anything? I still have to go to work. If you are free, I will call you back at noon."

Then he heard the sound of Lina closing the car door.

Hearing that his mother went to work so early, William was a little dissatisfied and said: "Mom, didn't we discuss and agree last time that you don't have to work so hard anymore? Mom, I can make money now, and you don't have to be like before."

"Yes, yes, baby, mom didn't break our promise, haha, I wanted to give you a surprise, but now I can only tell you first.

The day before yesterday, I bought a coffee shop on Oxford Street with the 1 million pounds you gave me. Baby, mom wants to thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when mom's wish to be a coffee shop owner would be realized.

I want to live in a coffee shop every day now, haha" Lina laughed happily.

William was happy for Lina when he heard that she bought a coffee shop on Oxford Street, "Then there is no need to go to the coffee shop so early."

Lina smiled happily and said, "I just want to see my coffee shop. I feel uncomfortable if I can't see it. It's okay, baby, mom will take good care of herself."

"Okay, mom, as long as you like it,"

He didn't have 1 million pounds at the beginning, but later he could get 20% of the sales in the peripheral contract he signed with Jiarefu, which was sales, not pure profit.

He got 1.29 million pounds from the 6.45 million pounds of peripherals. After receiving the money, William gave his mother Lina 1 million pounds to let her buy something she liked, and specifically told her that she could ask him for more if it was not enough.

Giving money to Lina was to let her have money in her hands, so that she would not be panicked and would be much more relaxed. Unexpectedly, Lina bought a cafe directly.

But William thought of the reason for calling again and said to Lina carefully:

"Mom, I have something good to tell you. You are not driving the car now,"

Lina asked doubtfully: "Tell me, did I do something wrong? I was just sitting in the car, not driving"

"No, Mom, I didn't do anything bad. I just want you to see today's Sun. There are some reports about me on it. I don't know how to tell you. You will know when you read the newspaper," William said carefully.

Lina asked in surprise: "Oh my God, The Sun? William, you are not dating a celebrity and the paparazzi reported it in The Sun, but how is this possible? Tell me what happened?

God, baby, you'd better not tell me that she is still pregnant. William, I am not ready to be a grandmother yet. You'd better pray that I am not angry after reading the newspaper, otherwise you will be in big trouble. I will definitely beat you into a pig's head."

When Lina heard her son asking her to buy The Sun, her first reaction was that her son had a female celebrity as his girlfriend. In her impression, The Sun was a gossip newspaper.

"Wait, Mom, your imagination is really too big. It's not what you think. Anyway, Mom thinks you'd better go home after reading the newspaper. Don't go to the coffee shop today."

"Okay, I'll go buy a copy of the Sun now. I want to see what great things you have done to make the Sun report you."

Hearing the dead tone on the phone, William put down the phone and patted his forehead waiting for Lina to call back. He knew that Lina would call immediately after seeing the newspaper.

Sure enough, within ten minutes, Lina called. When William answered the phone, he heard a shrill scream.

"William, baby, tell me what the newspaper said is true. Tell me quickly. This is all true. You are going to become a billionaire." Lina shouted to William.

"Yes, Mom, if nothing unexpected happens, what the newspaper said is true." William put the phone back to his ear and said to Lina.

After waiting for a while, he didn't hear Lina's voice, but heard Lina crying.

"Mom, what's wrong with you, Mom?" William asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, William, I'm happy. William, I think of your grandparents. If they were still alive, they would be very happy to know that you can become a billionaire.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

It's a pity that they didn't wait until you grew up, and went to heaven with full of regrets," Lina said sobbingly.

"Mom, grandparents will be happy for me in heaven, mom, don't cry, are you home now, I'll go back to see you," William comforted.

"Yes, I'm at home, William, you come back and I have something to say to you, I'll wait for you at home, baby," Lina said.

"Okay, mom, I'll go back now, you wait for me" After the call, William called the front desk to call the hotel service.

Sitting in the car provided by the hotel, William was a little worried about his mother Lina's condition, and kept urging the driver to hurry up in the car.

His home is not far from Oxford Street. It is a small two-story stone house left by his grandfather. The first floor is more than 80 square meters, with a living room, kitchen and bathroom. The second floor has three rooms and a balcony of more than 10 square meters.

In my memory, I like to stay on the balcony the most. Now William lives in the school and rents out the other two rooms except Lina's room for a short period of time, which can be rented for 1,200 pounds a month.

When he got home and saw Lina sitting in the living room on the first floor waiting for him, William hurried forward and hugged his mother.

Lina hugged William excitedly for a long time.

Seeing his mother so excited, William had to distract her attention: "Mom, don't you have something to tell me?"

"Yes, yes, William, Mom has something to tell you," Lina pulled William to sit on the sofa.

"William, Mom didn't expect you to become a millionaire, so there are some things that Mom thinks I still have to tell you. William, do you still remember the castle that your grandparents and mom often took you to Oxford to see when you were a child?"

William thought about it and found the memory of the castle in his memory. It was a castle a few kilometers away from Oxford University. He had no impression of how big it was.

"Remember, Mom was not far from Oxford University?"

"Yes, child, that's it. Mom is telling you now that it used to be the Devonshire family castle. Unfortunately, Henry couldn't pay the inheritance tax after World War II and was forced to auction it off.

Your grandfather's greatest wish in his life was to buy back the castle and manor, but unfortunately he didn't wait until that time.

Mother William asked you to buy it when the time is right and change the name of the castle back to Devonshire Castle. This is the greatest wish of your grandparents in their lives. William, can you promise me?"

"Okay, if it's just this, Mom can promise you now, and I can even buy it and give it to you by the end of this year."

William still dared to make this promise. In a few months, the whole world will fall into economic recession. In a year, the housing prices in England will plummet by 50%. Now the castles in England are not worth much.

And to be honest, there are as many abandoned castles as there are nobles in England. Besides, Oxford is not a district of London, so the castles are not that expensive.

The castle in his memory is still very big, surrounded by woods, grasslands, small lakes and a river. However, he felt that the castle was gloomy when he was a child, and he really didn't want to go back there.

But since his mother cares so much about the castle, the worst thing is to buy it and spend money to renovate it.
