"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

Elliot pulled him back. "I was mocking you just now. I didn't say I wanted to go up the hill."His bodyguard sat down looking embarrassed. "I thought that you really wanted to go with them.""I do, but the church doesn't welcome male visitors, so even if I went up the hill, I can't follow Avery. I would rather wait here," Elliot said calmly. "Even if I could enter the church, if Avery saw me there, she would surely be angry. I finally get to get out of the house; I don't want to make her mad."The bodyguard said, "Mr. Foster, why are you afraid of her? She's only a woman—""Do you not want to work anymore?" Elliot gave his bodyguard a sharp look. "You have been working for me for a long time.""Mr. Foster, I… I want to work! I was wrong! You have to listen to Miss Tate! She is doing this all for your own good!" The bodyguard immediately repented."Is she Miss Tate?" Elliot used a gentle yet stern look."M-Mrs. Foster!" The bodyguard corrected himself."In the future, not only d

The staff hesitated for a while. At that moment, the other visitors also said, "Sister, take us to see the children! They might welcome our presence! We want to help them, too. They surely won't hate us.""Alright! I'll take you to see them."The nun took them to a building behind the church.Once they were near, they could hear the voices of little girls playing."A portion of the girls have gone down the hill to go to school. Right now, the ones remaining in the church are either not healthy enough or they haven't reached the schooling age." The nun led the group and introduced them to the girls. "The children have to go down the hill on their own to get to school every day?" Avery asked."Yes. We would take turns sending them down, but they need to hike up and down the hill. They have it tougher than the kids who live down the hill. It's winter now, and they have to get up before the sun rises to go down the hill," the nun explained.Avery had only hiked up the hill and al

She wanted to go in and listen, but her grandmother pulled her back, forbidding her to enter."Grandma, what is that lady saying to Rose?" The girl was called Irene.She was older than three, but she, too, did not go to kindergarten. "I can't hear them. Just ask Rose about it later." The old woman was in her sixties. Her hair was white, but she was still spritely and spirited."That lady wants to take Rose down the hill. She wants to adopt Rose," said a visitor who was standing next to them. The visitor had followed Avery. Irene was filled with sadness when she heard that. She did not want Rose to leave this place.If Rose left, she would no longer have such a good playmate. Other than missing Rose, Irene was a little envious of her, too.The lady talking to Rose in the room looked very gentle. If Rose were to leave with her, she would surely treat Rose well, right?At that thought, Irene's eyes grew wet. She reached out and rubbed her eyes."Little girl, what's your name? Y
