Sebastian soon found the contact of his father's lawyer. He called him.The lawyer soon answered the call.After Sebastian explained the situation, the lawyer said, "I also haven't been able to contact your father for the past two days. Usually, we contact each other every day." "He has been murdered, but I don't know where his body is. I have already reported it to the police yesterday. They are searching for him, but I don't know if they can find his body," said Sebastian. "If I still can't find him today, I'm going to increase the number of people searching for him." "Sebastian, you have my condolences. Your father died so suddenly, but… forgive me for speaking out of line. Don't be too sad, your time has come." The lawyer's hints were very obvious. "When are you free? Let's have tea!""Okay." Sebastian understood what the lawyer meant. "I'm free right now. I'll meet up with you, and we can have some tea. My treat." "Okay, I'll wait for you."…Natalie was in one of the h
Natalie's eyes sparkled a little. She said, "No. She's very suspicious. She doesn't trust me much."Before executing her plan to murder Dean, Natalie had called Holly many times and had sent her countless text messages. She had even wired a huge sum of money to Holly's bank account. Holly had given Natalie the number of that bank account before she had cut contact with her. Maybe it was the money that had finally moved Holly, as Holly contacted her a few days after the money had been wired into the account. Holly had told Natalie to come up with a way to kill Dean. The Holly's number on the phone Sebastian had found was a decoy. No one had known what Holly's true number was, and that was why Dean had no way of verifying whether the number was truly Holly's. It was because of this that the plan had worked flawlessly.Dean had still lost in the end despite all the constant scheming.This gave Natalie a large boost of confidence."She said that if I could get part of the Jenning
After the lawyer sat down, he smiled at Sebastian, "I guess I should call you President in the future."The lawyer usually addressed Sebastian by name or Mr. Jennings like the other people.Sebastian did not expect the lawyer to be so direct."Mr. Lycett, did my father really leave me an inheritance?" Sebastian found had found it hard to believe that his father would leave him anything, so he said, "My father has always said I was incapable, and he would rather donate his fortune instead of leaving it for his children…""Haha! He only said that when he was angry. If he had not said that, you would not be motivated to do a good job." Mr. Lycett did not immediately tell Sebastian the contents of the will. "Your father has a strange temper. I'm sure you agree with me deeply on this, right?""Hmm. My father has never once praised me, but my elder sister had said that he had showered me with praise," Sebastian said helplessly while brewing his tea. "To be honest, I don't think I'm that
"You can't think that way. After all, you all are not your father's subordinates. You are his children. As long as your other siblings had not made any major mistakes, he would not leave them with nothing. If your elder brother and sister truly did work for the Jennings family, then perhaps, they too might be able to get something!" Mr. Lycett said.Sebastian found it ironic.His father's whole life seemed like a farce."Sebastian, you're lucky." Mr. Lycett changed the subject. His eyes looked old and wise. "Your father has left almost all of the family fortune to you. I said you were lucky because you returned home and gave him Natalie's phone at the right time. You had contacted Holly and that made him very happy. So the last time he edited his will, he left almost everything for you. Initially, he had not planned to leave you much."Sebastian was speechless.Hearing the revelations, Sebastian felt as though he was on a rollercoaster. It was exciting. If what Mr. Lycett said was
Even if Dean was dead, Violet still did not dare have any contact with Natalie.Natalie had told her over the phone that she wanted to talk with her about the division of the inheritance. Violet could not help but go meet her.In Aryadelle at Elliot's mansion, Avery and Elliot were sitting at the dining table having their breakfast.Avery looked at her phone, seeing a news notification about Christmas pop up. She had been staying at Elliot's mansion for the past few days. She did not know what day it was anymore.She had initially thought that Christmas was still a long way away, but the news notification that popped up informed her that Christmas was only a half month away. "Elliot, it's almost Christmas." Avery placed her phone down and said to Elliot, "Do you feel that the days where we don't have to work pass by quicker?"Elliot wanted to agree with her, but he did not want to lie. "I've been working every day, so I don't feel it that much."Ever since Avery had allowed h
In Bridgedale, Natalie waited in the restaurant for almost half an hour before Violet appeared.Violet did not mean to be late."The traffic was terrible! I forgot to tell you that the restaurant you picked is just so-so. It might look like it's popular, but that's only because it has a good location. Even if you opened a street food stall here, business will be great," Violet said as she took her seat. "I lived nearby, so I picked this restaurant," said Natalie with a smile. "Violet, Dean is dead. Has Sebastian contacted you yet?"Violet's expression froze. "Who told you that he is dead? I thought that they hadn't found his body yet. Sebastian has not asked for me. After all, Dad's body hasn't been found yet…""Hahaha! Sebastian knows that Dean is dead, and he has known it for a long time," said Natalie, howling with laughter. "Looks like he did not tell you anything." Violet's expression instantly changed. Anger rose in her. "How do you know that Dad is dead? Also, how do you
Violet barely hesitated. "If you could find a way to get some of the inheritance from Sebastian, I will surely be on your side." "Let me be clear, I'm not helping you because I have nothing to do. I could help you fight for more of the inheritance, but the inheritance we get, we split in half.""You're also Dean's daughter, I'm sure you can fight for some of the inheritance, too, right?" Violet asked her question."Yes, but I would surely not get much. After all, I didn't live close to Dean.""I understand. If that's the case, I can appeal on my own. I don't need your help…""Hahaha! Do you think Sebastian is a rookie? You could hire your lawyer, but won't he also hire his? Sebastian has inherited a huge fortune. He could hire the best lawyer in the world. Are you sure that by relying on your brain you can win the lawsuit? If you're that great, would you really have spent all that time under Sebastian?" said Natalie, mocking her heartlessly. "If you want to fight alone, be my gue
"Where? I only know about this church." Avery was shocked by the crowd in front of her."I looked at the map before we left. The other church is about ten kilometers away from here. It'll be quick by car," said Elliot, discussing the matter with her. "Why don't we go to the other church to have a look!""Hmm! There are too many people here. I’m guessing there will be more up the hill." Avery re-buckled her seatbelt and asked, "What is the name of the church you mentioned? I want to look it up on the phone.""It's called Hightide Church.""I think I've heard of this church before." Avery unlocked her phone and entered the church's name in her browser.Elliot said, "I think it's a nunnery."He had checked up on the church before. The Hightide Church has a history of more than a hundred years. In the beginning, the church was as famous as the one on the hill, but it slowly fell out of favor and got converted into a nunnery. Also, the Hightide Church only welcomed female guests, wh
