A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 114

After gazing at everyone's faces, Mr. Barlow firmly said, "I have finally come to the decision that Catherine will be the family's top inheritor."

The dining room fell silent, and even though no one was shocked about Mr. Barlow's announcement, only a few people felt happy about the news, and that was Madam Rosey, Edward, Catherine's mother, Mr. Barlow, and Rome.

Although Catherine wanted to feel happy, she was still processing the reality that she had just gotten what she always wanted.

"Richard will be revoked from Elijah's position, and Catherine will take his seat among the board of directors." Mr. Barlow calmly uttered, glaring at his grandson.

After a few seconds of staring coldly at Richard, he looked at Catherine and said, "I will call Mr. Quincy tonight and have him get all the legal documents ready. Hopefully by tomorrow we can make it official.".

Finally, reality settled in, and Catherine felt an overwhelming feeling of excitement coursing through her.

Then she looked at Rome for a moment before doubtfully staring back at her grandfather and saying, "To make it clear, I'm not divorcing my husband. So if there is any weird requr…"

"I personally still think that you could do better than him." Mr. Barlow said in annoyance.

"Grandfather,"

"But since you are the only one among your cousins who still has a conscience and is competent to my expectation, I can overlook that you are married to a nobody."

Without uttering a word, Jeff suddenly stood up. Then he glowered at Catherine before walking out of the dining room, and hastily leaving his seat, Richard followed his brother.

When both brothers got upstairs and arrived in Jeff's room, Jeff turned around, scowled at Richard, and lashed out, "Catherine wasn't supposed to go to the hospital! She should have been fine within four to twenty minutes, and everyone would have assumed that she was just acting!"

"I instructed Berta to put only a small amount in the coffee as you told me to," Richard mumbled beneath his breath.

"Well, clearly she didn't and messed up the plan! Also, what were you thinking, taking the damn mug!"

"I didn't want to leave evidence behind!"

Staring at his brother in disbelief, Jeff sighed and said, "This is what I get for allowing an amateur to do something important."

There was a brief pause. Then Richard asked, "What now?"

"I will handle things myself." Jeff absentmindedly said.

"What does that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. Now get out!"

A hint of fear spiked in Richard's eyes as he stared at his brother for a moment before walking out of the room.

Even though Rome tried not to get bothered by how Jeff and Richard left the table, he couldn't, and every time he looked at Catherine, he felt even more worried.

Resting her fork on the plate, Catherine raised her brows and mumbled, "Can we do the document signing in the evening? I have to attend the conference with Mr. Ford tomorrow morning."

"Sure," Mr. Barlow said, feeling a sense of relief again as he realized that Catherine was definitely the right choice.
