Chapter 85 Another Story

Payne glanced at me, then smiled. “Miss Luna, this manor is rather special. It is up to you to decide whether to auction or keep it.”

“Why leave it at the end of the show? Is there anything special about it?” I asked, confused.

“Please forgive me for not telling you this,” Payne said. “Your mother asked for it. The only thing I know is that your mother lived here for a long time when she was young.”

It turned out that my mother had lived here for a long time, no wonder the interior decor had my mother’s unique style. I nodded and thought for a moment before replying, “Then I won’t auction it.”

The reason for not auctioning it was very simple. I had already obtained a huge inheritance of 6.8 billion, so I didn’t lack money at all. Therefore, it was better for me to keep this manor that my mother had lived in as a memento.

Payne gave me a slight bow. He seemed extremely relieved that I wasn’t auctioning off this manor, and a smile appeared on his old face. Then he turned away. “Please come with me.”

I followed Payne to a sunny study room. The furnishings and furniture were spotless, it was obvious that someone had taken great care of them.

“I’ve been living here ever since your mother passed away. I’m responsible for taking care of everything your mother left behind.” Payne touched the furniture beside him with a nostalgic expression.

“I always thought my mother’s family had completely disintegrated. I didn’t expect you to still be taking care of it.” I followed him to the table and looked wistfully at Payne’s silver hair.

“Unfortunately, I may be the last person in the world to remember the glory of House Bell.” Payne turned to me, his gaze friendly.

“So… Do you know anything about my mother?” I asked hesitantly.

“Of course. I remember a lot about your mother.” Payne looked out the window into the distance. “Your mother was a very strong, brave, independent, and tolerant woman.”

“Yes. When I was young, my mother taught me that I must learn to hide my strength. I must be low-key and modest when doing things,” I replied. It was precisely because of my mother’s teachings that I was able to avoid the mutual deception and grow up safely after my mother passed away.

“Your mother asked me to tell you something, she said that the arrival of fate is heaven’s will. You have to follow your heart and fight for it, don’t do things that you regret for your entire life.”

What did that mean? I was a little confused, but when I looked back on the memories of my mother, her face was always full of worry and depression. I thought that this might be some sort of an annotation of her past experiences, so I asked, “What did my mother experience before she married my father?”.

Payne shook his head ruefully. “That’s another story, then. Well, Miss Luna, that’s all the words your mother wants me to bring to you so far. I’ll tell you the rest when the time is right.”

When I noticed that Payne looked tired, I realized that the old man had spent most of his energy on this ball. Even though I was full of questions, I still said, “I won’t disturb your rest. Thank you for your help.”

“Miss Luna, this manor is very beautiful. You can walk around.” Payne slowly sat down on the recliner. Before I left, he spoke to me in a half-asleep manner. After leaving the study, I realized that most of the guests had already left. At this moment, the huge manor seemed to be empty apart from me and Payne.

I tried to recall what Payne told me. The sudden arrival of the inheritance and my mother’s special arrangement both confused me.
