Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 489

Soon, the Fowlers leaned toward supporting a divorce between Pierre and Selena. In their eyes, Selena was a cunning lady. She had a net worth of several billion now, so there was no doubt that she had married Pierre for the family inheritance. As John’s daughter-in-law, she would definitely be entitled to a portion of the inheritance, and her portion would be larger than the others. For the others, this would be a zero-sum game. The more inheritance she received, the lesser the remaining share to be distributed among the other members of the family.

The Fowler relatives were glad to know that Chris was not related to John by blood, because Helen and Chris would therefore be ineligible for John’s inheritance. Similarly, that would mean more pie to be distributed among the rest.

That was the reason they urged Pierre and Selena to share the will.

If they could drive a wedge between Pierre and Selena’s relationship, they could potentially receive more share of the inheritance.

Their faces and chatter disgusted Pierre, who now looked annoyed. “Selena, don’t you think the noises here are getting quite annoying?”

Everyone immediately understood the meaning behind his words and shut up.

She smiled at him. “Yes, it’s quite annoying. Shall we head home now?”

“Good idea.” While speaking, he took her hand and attempted to walk out of the venue.

Of course, he was once again stopped by his family members.

“Pierre, you have not shared the contents of the will. How could you leave? Just announce the details. Everyone here is waiting for it. Am I right?”

“Pierre, it’s time to make it public. We can’t leave the company’s fate hanging. Our employees are also concerned about the future of the company. If you have the will with you, please share it now.” Joseph addressed him as an elder member of the family.

Pierre looked at Selena and asked, “Selena, should we make the will public right now?”

The venue instantly plunged into deafening silence, and Pierre’s expression hardened at Joseph’s words, which was akin to a slap to the face.

As a leader who had dominated the business world for his entire life, John’s death was exceptionally tragic and also humiliating because he died without a complete body. That was a fact that bothered Pierre a lot.

At the funeral, everyone knew about the homicide and the autopsy, but no one mentioned it out of their respect for Pierre and the late John. However, Joseph had blurted it out without thinking.

He understood that his words would rub salt on Pierre’s wound, but he insisted on letting his thoughts out. “Pierre, I know you hate to listen to me, but I’m telling the truth. You should not forget the reason why your dad was buried without a complete body. I don’t understand what exactly is happening between you and Selena. Anyway, she was the one who handed your dad the poison, and she was responsible for signing the papers for his autopsy. She is the culprit behind everything. You should know better!”

Upon hearing that, Selena stared nervously at Pierre. Actually, she had seen this coming—she knew that the Fowlers would make a scene over the fact that she signed John’s autopsy consent form.

Pierre smirked at Joseph and retorted, “Uncle Joseph—yes, I shall call you my uncle for now—let’s say you were the deceased today, and the police required an autopsy because they suspected your daughter-in-law’s involvement in your death. Knowing that she was innocent, would you allow the police to perform an autopsy on your body?”
