If we're really going to essentially spend the rest of our lives looking over our shoulders for Henrietta and having people pop up to try to sabotage or manipulate us for an inheritance we never even knew was ours until about 15 minutes ago (hyperbole, but still), it really just doesn't seem worth it. Regardless of LI, Prince Hamid, Mr. Sinclaire, and Miss Parsons all have comfortable wealth anyway, and MC and Mr. Harper could definitely make nice lives for themselves without Edgewater. I'm not sure he'd still extend the offer without Edgewater, but even a formal arrangement with Mr. Chambers that allowed him and MC their freedom would be preferable to this.
