My Fiance Ran Away On Our Wedding Day novel Chapter 50

In the evening, when the funeral was over, Anika and Zac did not return to the villa.

They took a bus back to the Meyer Clan's old mansion.

In the quiet living room, apart from Oliver and Lucy, there was also Scott and another neat middle-aged man in a suit.

Anika realized that the man in a suit must be Lucas Dalton, Robert's estate lawyer.

After the death of the old man, Lucas called Anika to inform her that he would announce her grandfather's last will at the old mansion after the funeral.

Oliver was unable to attend the funeral, so he arrived at the old mansion early in the morning.

However, Lucas insisted to wait everyone before reading the will, so he had no choice but to wait until now.

When Oliver saw Anika, his tone became slightly impatient.

"Atty.Dalton, can you declare his will now?"

Lucas, on the other hand, was very professional and didn't mind Oliver.

He silently nodded and stood up as soon as Anika and Zac took their seats.

"Hello, everyone.I am Lucas Dalton, Mr.Meyer's lawyer.I have been entrusted by him to announce Mr.Meyer's will."

Anika nodded calmly, "Hello, Mr.Dalton"

Lucas politely looked back and stated directly, "Mr.Meyer amended his will half a month ago.In his last will, he appointed three heirs to the estate’ 

"The portion of the 14 properties and fund deposits under Mr.Meyer's name will be divided equally among the three designated successors in accordance with the current market value.Anika and the others listened silently.

Their expressions remained the same.

When Lucas mentioned the three heirs, Oliver's face became even more solemn.

The old man had indeed loved Anika in recent years, but he had always treated Lucy, her granddaughter, well.

Scott was the old man's adopted son, who had gone through the adoption process.

He was also a nominal son.

There were only three inheritors, so Anika already knew what Oliver was worried about.

But even though she already had an idea, she was still surprised when she heard Lucas's next words.

Lucas's words entered everyone's ears clearly...

"Mr.Meyer owns 40% of Meyer's shares.35% of it will be given to his granddaughters.30 % for Miss Meyer and 5 % for Miss Cooper.The remaining 5% will be given to Mr.Hill."

Apart from Scott, everyone else was shocked.

Anika had never thought that the other successor was neither Scott nor Oliver, but Zac, who had been married to her for less than two months.

She wasn't sure if Grandpa's decision was because of her, or he just simply liked Zac, his grandson-in-law.

Anika smiled and shook her head, "Grandpa likes you very much."

She whispered in Zac's ears.

"Well, it only proves that Grandpa's taste is not bad."

Zac smiled and raised his eyebrows at her.

His tone was calm, but it directly prompted Oliver, who was sitting on the other side, to become enraged.

"How is this possible?"

Oliver's emotions were a little out of control.

He obviously didn't want to accept that his years of hard work had been wasted.

He had been robbed of most of his inheritance by Anika and Zac, who came out just recently.

"Oliver, why are you surprised?" Scott glanced at Oliver.

"Well, you can blame me for this.Dad discussed the matter of inheritance with me earlier and I thought that we are all adults now, so it's not good for us to snatch something from the children.That's why I told him that there was no need to think about the two of us.

We're adults already and we can both rely on our own, right? This was the first time that Anika had seen Scott utter such harsh words.

In terms of age, Scott was not even forty, which clearly had a huge difference from Oliver who was already over fifty years old.

Anika wasn't surprised at Scott's decision to give up his inheritance.

After all, Scott moved out of the Meyer's Clan when he reached adulthood.

After Elliot passed away, he did not interfere in the affairs of the Meyer Clan.

He didn't seem to be interested in it either.

Oliver clenched his fists tightly, his face flushed red.

He frowned and retorted, "But Lucy is still the granddaughter of the old man.How could he give the 30% stake to this girl?"
