Blake took a sip of the drink, blinked and said:

"Your temper is still the same."

"No way." Ethan shrugged and picked up a piece of beef brisket: "These bastards definitely don't have any good ideas."

"Will they retaliate?"

Blake asked quietly, it wasn't that she was scared, but there was no need to cause trouble.

Looking outside the room, Ethan smiled.

The college students got into an SUV, which emitted a puff of white smoke, and fled in a hurry.

"rest assured."

He bit the straw and said disdainfully: "Don't you understand these bullies?"

"In front of people weaker than them, they are as terrifying as demons, but in front of strong people, these people will be as obedient as sheep."

"Bullying the weak and relying on the strong."

"This is the philosophy of these people, so when facing a strong person, they will never dare to have any bad intentions."

"You summed it up very well." Blake threw a piece of sausage into his mouth and said with a wicked smile: "I just said that the girl was ugly, but how can this guy be so energetic?"

Ethan looked down helplessly, where Blake's toes were rubbing gently.

"What else can I say?" He raised his eyebrows and ate slowly: "I can only say that it does not allow provocation."

Blake quickly pulled his feet back, not daring to continue teasing.

She knew the opponent's strength very well. If she set the fire on fire, she would be the one to suffer.

After a satisfying lunch, the two went to the town's law office to go through the formalities for receiving the inheritance.

Blake also received a call from this firm and found out what happened.

Thanks to the good contact in advance, I met the corresponding person in charge quickly.

This was a gray-haired old man who, according to his words, was the personal lawyer and old friend of Black's relative.

Entrusted by an old friend, help handle inheritance issues.

The old man first expressed his regrets, and then took out documents one after another for Black to sign.

The inheritance she inherited was not much in cash, only 320,000.

The rest is mainly a piece of private land and houses. The land in this place is not very valuable, and the town government values ​​it at more than half a million US dollars.

However, Ethan was shocked by the assessed value of the property, which was US$1.45 million.

This is an ordinary small town, not a satellite town of a big city.

The wealthy people gather in the satellite towns of big cities and have all kinds of supporting facilities, which drives the housing prices very high.

And in a place like this, a house worth more than one million dollars is very unusual.

But no matter how you calculate it, it's still more cost-effective than Veronica's five hundred dollars. They have a wedding, so they probably have to spend a lot more.

Blake was not surprised. She knew the specific situation of her relative's family very well. She and her family had also seen the electronic versions of relevant legal documents with a lawyer, and there were basically no problems.

After browsing through it briefly, she signed her name.

She came here just to accept the inheritance.

Some of the related expenses are not much, and Black and his family are also middle-class families, so they can handle it easily.

As for inheritance tax, it really cannot be levied on ordinary people. If Ethan remembers correctly, the current personal exemption amount for inheritance tax is as high as 5.6 million. For the things Blake inherited, it is far less than that. standard.

Only the rich will be exploited ruthlessly, and the richer they are, the more ruthless they will be.

Because it is charged according to gradients, the most brutal is as high as 40%, plus some other taxes and fees. With one cut, half of the net worth is gone.

This is also the reason why the rich are trying their best to avoid taxes. No one wants the money they have worked hard to earn in their lifetime to be lost in vain.

There are also some people who cannot inherit their inheritance because they cannot afford the inheritance tax.

After a series of formalities were completed, the lawyer walked aside tremblingly and took out a large set of keys from the cabinet: "The house is very well preserved, and I occasionally go there to take a look during this time."

"It's yours from now on. This is Mrs. Gaines's hard work. I hope you won't let it down."

"rest assured."

Blake took the heavy key and said with emotion: "I will keep my promise."

In the will, there is also a mandatory requirement that no transactions should be made within three years. This is also an obsession of the old lady.

Blake had no problem with that.

This is also the place where my family once lived. If it were not for financial problems, they would basically not consider selling it.

Waving goodbye to the old lawyer, the two walked out of the small building together.

"Congratulations, you are a new millionaire."

Ethan looked at Blake, smiled and opened his arms.

"Well, even though it's only on paper, you're right." Blake shook the check in his hand, looking very excited.

This money is not much for Ethan.

But to her, it was already a huge sum of money, and Blake was so excited that it was hard to contain it.

She threw herself into Ethan's arms and laughed happily.

Ethan hugged her and spun her around a few times before letting go: "Let's go, it's time to see how the house you took over is doing."

"Um."

Blake carefully put the check away, nodded heavily and said, "I haven't been here for several years, but let's go to the supermarket to buy something first."

"The beddings inside are all used by others. I'm afraid you won't be used to them."

She patted her chest again, causing a wave of waves:

"It's all mine, I'll treat you."

For those who didn't know this, they thought she had become a billionaire.

"Of course it's all yours. I've been eating and drinking for free these three days." Ethan laughed and rubbed her head.

The two got in the car together and went to purchase supplies.

Food, drinks, toiletries, a messy meal cost less than a thousand dollars, but Blake didn't feel bad at all and handed over his credit card generously.

The last time she left Banshee Town, she had more than fifty thousand dollars in hand.

She has not used up the money until now.

Coupled with the fact that she now has more than 300,000 yuan, she is actually a little rich woman.

The two of them got into the car carrying large and small bags, and then happily drove out of the town. Ten minutes later, under her guidance, the car drove onto a dirt road and soon stopped in front of a gate.

"Jesus."

Ethan looked at the six-meter-wide iron gate and the rock door pillars with people hugging each other, and couldn't help but marveled: "How big is it inside?"

On both sides of the road, there are three-meter-high iron fences as far as the eye can see.

It was covered in rust and tangled with vines.

Inside the iron gate, next to the road that can accommodate two cars intersecting, there are tall and lush trees.

The tree crowns and the ground were all covered with a thick layer of white snow.

At first glance, there are no houses in sight. It looks like a forest of ice and snow.

"I don't know either. When I was little, I used to run around with Lizzie, but I always couldn't run to the end." Blake leaned forward, raised his hips, and pressed his fingers quickly on the door pillar next to him.

"Squeak."

The iron gate made a sharp sound and slowly opened inside.
