What did Sean’s family do for Grandpa to leave such a will?
Shane clenched his fists in silence.
No matter what they did, I must get the will! I can’t let them find it ahead of me.
Sam returned home in a restless state. Catherine came out to greet him and helped him to the couch to rest. “Darling, what happened?”
“Hurry, I need some water,” commanded Sam.
Catherine nodded and poured him a glass of water.
Sam finished the water in one gulp and heaved a sigh of relief.
Catherine asked again, “Darling, what happened?”
“I just went to Shane’s office,” said Sam as he placed the glass on the coffee table and sighed.
Catherine grabbed his arm and demanded anxiously, “Did Shane agree to forgive Sean?”
Sam snorted. “Forgive? He’s stubborn, just like his dad. I know he wants us to suffer. I tried to convince him to change his mind, but he refused to budge. Ugh, this is so frustrating!”
Catherine burst into tears. “How can he do that? Sean is his cousin! Doesn’t he care about his cousin?”
A hint of uneasiness flashed across Sam’s expression at her words. He frowned and chided, “Stop it.”
“What about Sean?” Catherine took a piece of napkin to wipe her tears away. “Doesn’t Sean know he’s no match for Shane? Why did he insist on going against Shane? Now, he can’t even come home.”
“It’s all because of Dad’s will!” explained Sam while massaging his temple.
Catherine shot him a furious glare. “You keep talking about that will. Why is that will so important to you both?”
Sam squinted his eyes. “There’s something in the will that decides whether our family gets destroyed or not.”
Catherine paled visibly as she covered her mouth in shock. “It’s about that?”
After that, she tidied herself up and left.
“Madam.” Mrs. Wilson knocked on the door before entering the room. After spotting Natalie lazing on the recliner on the balcony, she announced, “Mrs. Thompson is here.”
“Mrs. Thompson?” Natalie put her book down. “Which one?”
“Mr. Shane’s aunt, Catherine Meyer.”
“Oh, that Mrs. Thompson.” Natalie sat up as an unfamiliar face popped up in her mind.
Mrs. Wilson nodded. “Yes, that’s her.”
“Why is she here?” Natalie asked with a frown. She felt somewhat displeased at the lady’s unannounced visit.
Catherine didn’t give her a good impression when they first met. She even accused Natalie of trying to seduce both Shane and Sean. Huh. That was really ridiculous.
“I have no idea. She just told me she wants to see you,” replied Mrs. Wilson.
