I'm thinking that by the time the Government and the murder victim's son get through with Albert, there might be very little inheritance to worry about. And even if there is, I doubt that August would be in the least bit interested. August has been given a way to now get shed of his father's reputation, legacy, and name, and I don't think that sort of wealth would interest him given the associated costs.
Sorry I was late to the party @Headstall, but you've written another amazing chapter. Thank you for being so generous, and sharing your amazing writing talent with all of us.
