Chapter 508: Head of the House

"I understand." Mr. Jonathan nodded before he stood and gave her a low bow. "I hope the young miss could forgive me. I have served this family for over twenty years. I vowed to continue serving the family until my life ends. I would never doubt the head again."

She nodded in satisfaction. She knew that Spencer Jonathan was a smart man, and that was the reason why his father allowed him to stay. In fact, the reason Mr. Jonathan gave his loyalty to Alfons was that he was smart. He must have thought Gabi would die at a young age. If he favors Gabi too much, then what would happen to him and his family who also worked as servants in this mansion if Alfons would become the owner of this place?

It was a smart choice.

But right now, everything has changed. Gabi wasn't planning on dying anytime soon.

"Thank you." She reached out and grabbed the small envelopes located on the coffee table in front of her. "These are… formal invitations to galas and upcoming events. Please sort them out. Also, there is a check. It has all the money that my father gave me in his will. Please donate that."

"Pardon?"

'Are you really going to let me repeat everything that I said, just now?"

"No, I mean the check?"

"Father gave me ten million. It's nothing much. Donate it." Her father wasn't born rich, and he was a politician who didn't show any ambition on the outside. As someone who didn't have any excellent businesses, it was natural that he wouldn't have a lot of money on his will.

On the will, her father gave her ten million while he gave Alfons thirty million. He then used a letter explaining that since Gabi was the sole heir to her mother's assets, she didn't need his money anymore. Instead of dividing his money, he thought of giving most of it to the person that needed it the most.

The poor Alfons.

Even the properties that her father bought were all under Alfons name to give him a new 'start' in life.

Not that it matters. Those pennies are not even worth in Gabi's eyes as her mother's investments and real estate properties were worth more than what she and Alfons got from their father. She wasn't really rich — rich compared to her grandfather, but she is considered well off.

And even if she chose not to work until her life ends, she won't have any problems at all. She could just live off the money that she received from her mother's investments.

However, she wasn't planning on doing that.

"Alright. I will do that."

"Also… please make sure that everyone knows that it was from my inheritance. I don't want other people claiming that it came from them." She gave him a knowing look. Then she smiled. "If you know what I mean."

This wasn't the first time that she donated money to charities, but everyone thought it was from Alfons. She didn't bother to correct it and Alfons just said that he would tell everyone it wasn't him, but never really did it, anyway. Because of this, everyone knew Alfons as the kind man who used to live in the streets and because he didn't want other people to live like him in the past, he is spending all of his money and inheritance by donating them to various charities.

"I understand." There was a hint of guilt in the old man's eyes. However, she chose to ignore it. Since Spencer already said that he will give his loyalty to her, then she would give her an opportunity to prove himself.

...

It was already an hour past noon when Alfons arrived in Sutton's mansion. Today, he was especially in a bad mood. He had promised his mentor that he would have the chance to interview the top real estate entrepreneur in the country, Mr. Ren. However, he didn't have the chance to tell Gabi about it yet.

Because of this, his mentor is becoming more and more impatient.

It has been a few days since he last saw Gabi and today he was planning to do his best to convince her to help him out.

Alfons cursed inwardly as he got out of his car and started walking towards the entrance of the house. From the news that he got from Spencer, Gabi just stayed inside her room and would spend her time in her office, reading. He heard that she had been eating well and no longer follow the diet that Alfons gave her. Moreover, she also spent a few minutes under the sun, enjoying the scenery and watching the security personnel training.

This was already unusual, as Gabi never liked the sun in the past. He thought it had something to do with their father's death, but this is just his assumption.

"Young Master…" Spencer Jonathan greeted him the moment he stepped inside the house.

"Spencer…" he nodded. "Where is she?"

"Young Master… are you talking about the head?"

Alfons stiffened he turned towards the old man who had a few filed in his hand. He thought he misheard it. "I mean my sister." Everyone in this house was aware that they call each other brother and sister and treat each other like real siblings.

"Ah, so it was the head of the house. She should be in her office."

"Ah?" Before Alfons could say anything, Spencer already bowed.

"Young master, please excuse me. I still have errands to do." With that, Spencer left without even waiting for his response.

'What the hell was that?" Alfons could only curse inwardly. 'Did that damn butler just… ignored him?' He glared at the old man's back and tried to control his anger.

No. He had lived for too long under the guised of a good mannered man. He couldn't show his anger now. He let out a sigh before determination flashed in his eyes. Then he started walking towards Gabi's office.

Today, he would sort out Gabi's attitude!
