Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 248

"No way, I saw the chairman put it in that drawer with my own two eyes. Only he and I have the keys. How could it be missing?" Silas's face turned serious.

"I've looked everywhere and turned every drawer upside down, but it's still not there." Eda confirmed again.

Ines instantly got nervous. The will disappeared.

Ethan frowned, tightly holding her hand and whispered: "It's gonna be okay."

Emma remained silent, not uttering a word.

"Okay, Shirley should be back any minute. If you still can't find it, better scoot before she returns and gives you a hard time." Silas instructed.

After hanging up, Silas looked serious. He turned to Ethan and Ines, "Mr Meyer, Ms Ines, don't panic. I'll go back and take a look myself. The will couldn't have just vanished."

Ines knitted her brows and asked, "Is there only one copy of the will? Are there any copies at the notary's or the lawyer's?"

"No, the will was just drafted. I haven't had a chance to get it notarized or give it to a lawyer. The chairman just drafted it when he got back from the States." Silas answered calmly.

"Then this matter will be troublesome," Ethan said. Silas looked at them worried, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. There's another will at the law firm. Both wills are the same, except one was made when Ms Ines just returned.. The chairman wanted to revise the will when he found out you and Ms Emma were expecting, considering his unborn grandchild, but apparently, he didn't get around to it."

Upon hearing this, Emma's eyelashes fluttered. She carefully weighed Silas's words. The revision was because of the babies, which meant there was a share for the children. But if it were the last will, it would have nothing to do with the children. Mom, you've really screwed me over. Emma closed her eyes helplessly.

Upon hearing Silas's words, Ines felt relieved. Hunter had planned for her to return to the Galeana Group. He must know what to do.

Just then, Rita Page called and said she and Zander Payne were already home. She suggested they come over when they had time.

"Silas, when will you deal with the branch office?" Ethan asked.

"I'll go there first thing tomorrow morning. You guys can head home if you have stuff to do." Silas smiled.

Ethan nodded and left with Ines.

As soon as they got in the car, Ines threw herself into Ethan's arms, holding him tightly around the waist. Ethan couldn't help but lightly tug her ear, "What's up? What happened?"

Ines didn't say anything, just held him tightly. Ethan didn't disturb her, knowing she needed comfort.

After a while, Ines said: "Ethan, thank you." Without him, she would have fallen apart with all that was happening. With him by her side, she felt secure and wasn't afraid of the road ahead.
