Marcus was silent. Although he did not want to admit it, Marcus could not refute what Maximilian said.
Seeing Marcus' silence, Laura hesitated and said, "Maximilian, how did you think about this? I want to say that the land is our property, so why should we send it back to them for free? We cannot get any benefit then."
"You..." Marcus looked at Laura and was a little dissatisfied with what Laura said.
"What I am doing is for the good of our family." Laura said frankly.
"This is a useful piece of land for the family. If we hide it and don't give it out, we will be scolded by others." Marcus said irritably.
This kind of thing was easy to be mistaken. If Andrew and the others made up a story with their crooked mouth, then Marcus' old face would be humiliated.
For the sake of his own face, Marcus would rather hand over the land to his family for free rather than carrying an indelible name on his back.
Laura snorted coldly, "Huh! There's nothing to be worried about, and now it’s all laughing at the poor but not at the moral degradation. If this plot is given out, our family won’t be able to fight for much more inheritance in the future. You are too stupid."
"But we still can't leave the infamy. With the infamy on our back, we will be blamed by others. You don't have to talk more about this. I've made the decision. It must be given to the family." Marcus showed the majesty of the head of the family, and absolutely would not allow Laura to ruin his reputation because of self-interest.
Laura looked at Marcus angrily, wishing to pinch Marcus to be wise.
"Why are you so stupid? Fame can worth nothing. If you do this, I'm afraid your elder brother can wake up with a smile in his dreams."
"Dad, Mom, do you have to listen to Maximilian? After all, it belongs to him." Victoria whispered.
Laura's eyes lit up, looked at Maximilian and said, "Uh...Maximilian, can you tell me if this plot can be given away? Don't you know Wilfred? Just sell the plot directly to Wilfred, and let's drop it. As for the money, I will keep it for you. Ask me if you need it."
Thinking of selling such a large piece of land can at least earn tens of millions of dollars in money, Laura felt comfortable all over, and she wanted to be soaring.
Marcus stared at Maximilian, "Don't listen to your mother-in-law's nonsense. We men must emphasize loyalty and filial piety. The land should be given to the family, so the family can develop better and faster!"
Victoria covered her face and felt it was difficult to choose between parents. It would be even harder for Maximilian to make this choice.
Maximilian put the contract on the table and pushed it to Marcus with a smile.
"Dad, I have printed out the transfer contract and transferred it to the Griffith for free, but there are a few restrictive clauses, which will not interfere with the use of the land."
Laura patted the sofa vigorously, and said angrily, "What are you doing? Why do you want to give the land to the Griffith? You also lack something in your mind, isn't it?"
"It's not a lack of something, but it should be done like this. Maximilian, you did the right thing this time. I support you!" Marcus proudly picked up the contract looked at it and finally nodded heavily.
"You just do it; there will be times when you cry in the future!" Laura waved her hand and went back to the room angrily, making a blind eye.
Andrew chatted with Maximilian for a few words and then let Maximilian and Victoria go back to the room.
Kroopf drove to the outskirts of H City and stopped by a small river bend. At the crook of the creek, a person was sitting by the river and fishing.
The figure looked rather thin, with half-white hair tied up in a bun on the top of his head, sitting motionlessly by the river.
