保镖郑重地应道：“是，老爷！” 转身便准备继续去执行任务。而老人则又靠回沙发上，目光望向窗外繁华的城市夜景，心中默默想着外孙女的点点滴滴，祈祷她在厉家一切顺遂。
在某国一座古老而庄严的城堡内，奢华的吊灯洒下柔和光芒，映照着大厅内精美的壁画与华丽的陈设。一位身着考究西装的男子，迈着沉稳的步伐，将一份文件轻轻放在公爵面前的桌子上，神色恭敬却又透着一丝冷峻，用流利的英文说道：“Your Grace, this is the property division agreement that the old man asked me to bring. He hopes you can sign it. According to the agreement, the property will be divided equally between you and your children.（公爵大人，这是那位老先生让我送来的财产分割协议，他希望您能签署。根据协议，财产将由您和您的子女平分。）”
公爵微微皱眉，拿起协议，快速浏览起来。看着看着，他的脸色逐渐变得阴沉，眼中闪过一丝愤怒。他将协议狠狠摔在桌上，怒视着眼前的男子，用英文质问道：“What the hell is this? There seem to be a lot of things missing from this agreement. It seems that the old guy has transferred most of the property, leaving me with only a little. What on earth does he mean?（这到底是什么玩意儿？这份协议里好像有很多东西不翼而飞。那老家伙似乎把大部分财产都转移了，只留给我这么一点。他到底什么意思？）”
男子依旧面不改色，平静地用英文回答道：“Your Grace, I'm just following orders. The old man said that this is the final arrangement.（公爵大人，我只是奉命行事。老先生说这就是最终的安排。）”
公爵气得站起身来，双手撑在桌上，身体微微前倾，大声吼道：“Following orders? How can I accept such an unfair agreement? Tell that old man, I won't sign it!（奉命行事？我怎么能接受这样不公平的协议？告诉那老头，我不会签的！）”
男子不卑不亢地看着公爵，说道：“Your Grace, I suggest you think carefully. The old man's decision is not easy to change.（公爵大人，我建议您慎重考虑。老先生的决定可不容易更改。）”
公爵愤怒地挥了挥手，喊道：“Get out! Tell him to e and talk to me in person if he has the guts!（滚出去！要是他有种，就亲自来和我谈！）” 男子微微鞠躬，转身从容地离开，留下公爵在大厅内气得直喘气，心中盘算着该如何应对这突如其来的局面。
