Features: An unexpected guest returned home, which surprised Schetter. There was a tall, thin old gentleman with neatly dressed clothes sitting on the sofa, while his mother stood by with a pale face. "Oh, child, you're back!" his mother hugged her son tightly, her eyes filled with tears. The old gentleman stood up, looked Schetter up and down with sharp eyes, stroked his chin with his hand, nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "Is this Count von der Rohe?" After that, he walked up to Schetter, extended his right hand very respectfully, and shook Schetter's small hand, saying, "I am Attorney Harvishan, also your grandfather's legal advisor. I have just arrived from the distant United Kingdom at his request." Schetter had lost his father at a very young age, so he had always believed that his mother was his only relative in the world. For some reason, his mother hadn't told him until now that he had a grandfather. His grandfather was a famous count, governing a vast area of land, and almost no one in the United Kingdom didn't know his name. His grandfather had three sons. However, now all three of his grandfather's sons had unfortunately passed away, leaving only the seven-year-old Schetter as the sole direct relative. To ensure that Schetter inherited his title, his grandfather specially commissioned Attorney Harvishan to come to New York to pick him up and take him to England. After hearing all this, Schetter was extremely nervous and said, "Mom, I don't want to go to England, and I don't want to be a count. Among my friends, none of them are nobles... Can I not go?" P5-7
