As a hotel chain owned by the Lockhart Group, it was only natural that Wade would choose to stay there.

Inside the top–tier VIP suite, the moment Wade settled into his chair, Nolan entered.

“Mr. Wade, Mr. Zion is clearly stalling on purpose. His actions are unfair to Ms. Clarissa. She has suffered so much, without an official status…”

Nolan let out a weary sigh.

Wade’s brows knitted together. “I am old. When it comes to marriage, I can’t force him to decide …

“But after all, it was you who allowed Ms. Clarissa to give birth to Mr. Shane. In the end, the child was left without a proper title, and she has endured endless criticism.” Nolan sighed again, carefully steering the conversation toward the will. “What if one day … I mean, I worry that by then, Mr. Zion and Kelly might not be able to tolerate Mr. Shane.”

Nolan’s expression was filled with concern. “After all, they’re all part of the Lockharts‘ bloodline…

Of course, this was Wade’s primary worry.

“Tell Clarissa not to worry. She and the child have endured enough, so when it comes to dividing the inheritance, I will naturally favor them more,” Wade sighed. “I’ve spent my whole life working tirelessly, and in the end, all my grandchildren are respectful, especially Shane, who is the most well–behaved and closest to me.”

He regretted that his son and grandson weren’t affectionate towards him.

Yet, he never took the time to reflect on his own actions.

Nolan understood the situation clearly and quickly spoke up. “That Kelly, it’s clear she returned just for the Lockharts‘ inheritance. The moment she heard about your illness, she immediately brought her child and Mr. Zion back. It’s too obvious what she’s after. With your current health, who knows how long…

Realizing his mistake, Nolan swiftly changed the topic. What I mean is, if there’s no time to draft a will, won’t everything end up just as Kelly wants?”

Wade’s expression darkened, his dissatisfaction evident. “I’m not going to die anytime soon!”

Nolan quickly raised a hand and slapped his own mouth. “Mr. Wade, that’s not what I meant.”

Wade let out a snort and waved him off. “Alright, leave me be. Writing a will isn’t something to take lightly. I need time to consider it.“.

The Lockharts were the wealthiest in the country, and naturally, there were many concerns when it came to the distribution of wealth.

Now more than ever, Wade wished that Zev would recognize Shane as his own child.

Even if he never divorced Kelly, it didn’t matter. Acknowledging the child would at least prevent the Lokharts‘ property from slipping away in the future.

Trout to Make a Will

Wade hesitated when it came to writing a will, not because he was naive.

After experiencing so many ups and downs in life, even if Clarissa had deceived him, he understood exactly what the Lynches was after.

Ken had warned him multiple times that the Lynches had grand ambitions.

He also feared that if Zev refused to recognize the child, the inheritance would never reach Shane and would instead end up entirely in the hands of the Lynches.

“Bring Zion here,” Wade ordered, his unease growing. Although he had dislike Kelly and doubted whether her son was truly Zev’s, the child was unexpectedly tough and bore a striking resemblance to Zev’s father when he was young.

Despite his gruff nature and constant skepticism, Wade was willing to convince himself that the child carried the Lockharts‘ blood.

“Ken, come to my room as well,” Wade called for Ken.

At that moment, Ken, who was busy handling business matters at Royal Viper Company, rushed over.

“Do you needed me, Mr. Wade?” Ken stepped forward.

“What is the name of Kelly’s child?” Wade asked, snapping back to reality.

“His name is Jasper Yeager,” Ken promptly responded.

Wade frowned. “Why is he carrying her surname? His surname needs to be changed to Lockhart.”

Wade held a traditional way of thinking, insisting that the child should bear his family name.
