A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 370

Burnell doesn't spare Jonathan's feelings. Burnell looks up and asks John, "Colbert, what did you want to say before? What do you want to tell me?"

John says, "I want the inheritance of Krislier Group."

"Didn't you get it long ago?" Burnell is puzzled, "At Forssel Cathedral, I announced to my friends that you're as eligible for the inheritance as your brother."

Jonathan stands up and pushes a document to Burnell, "Dad, you're busy. I don't think you know that Colbert has given up the inheritance of Krislier Group. Several families, including the Fillets, also know about it."

Burnell hurriedly takes the documents over. After scanning a few lines, Burnell angrily says to John, "You bastard! I've worked hard to give you resources for your development, but you give up your right of inheritance in the twinkling of an eye?"

John remains silent.

It's John who was cheated by Jonathan before. John really wants to see Scarlett, so he gives up the inheritance of Krislier Group. John also expects that Jonathan would take out the document.

Lily says, "Mr. Krislier, don't be angry. Colbert is young and bold. He can't avoid doing something wrong. Who hasn't done anything wrong?"

"Colbert wasn't born yesterday. Besides, a child will be cautious when signing any documents." Jonathan knows that Lily wants to get away with it by softening Burnell up, so he immediately says, "This document is personally signed by Colbert."

Jonathan looks at Burnell and deliberately reminds him, "Dad, there are rules in our family. If he voluntarily gives up something or the right of inheritance, he can't get it again. Dad, I know you love Colbert, but there are ancestors' rules. If you return the rights to Colbert, it will hurt me. After all, I am also your son."

"Mr. Seles, what you say is wrong." Lily licks her lips and takes advantage of Jonathan's words, "A man can't help making mistakes. Besides, the rules are made to be broken."

"Your ancestors made such a rule because there were too many children in the Krislier family and it was inevitable that someone would abuse the privileges. Now, the successors of the Krislier family are Colbert and you. Colbert shouldn't be denied another chance even if he makes a mistake."

Jonathan's gaze is sharp and gloomy as he stares at Lily, "Miss Lily, this is our family business."

"I'm Colbert's girlfriend. If there's any problem, we'll face it together." Lily smiled, "I'm worried that if Colbert loses the right to inherit while Mr. Seles makes a mistake, won't Krislier Group fall into someone else's hands? That's why I feel that this rigid rule can be changed."

"The rules of the Krislier family have never been changed for years and years." Jonathan says calmly, "If you force Burnell to change the rules for Colbert, wouldn't you want him to be scolded by the ancestors? If I make a mistake, I will never claim the heirship. Because I am only a member of the Krislier family."

Lily looks into Jonathan's eyes without fear, "Mr. Seles, I'm just giving my opinion, but I don't want Mr. Burnell to betray the ancestors. Don't misinterpret what I mean."

Jonathan sneers and speaks sharply, "I think that's what Miss Lily means."

"Enough! You have to quarrel at dinner, don't you?" Burnell is very angry because John gives up the right to inherit. Now, Burnell slams the table fiercely to prevent Jonathan and Lily from arguing.

John whispers, "Dad, I'm sorry. I'm too childish. I don't know how important the right to inherit is. I'll take responsibility for my mistakes. I won't bring this up again."

Seeing John like this, Burnell cools off a bit.

John looks like Scarlett and Burnell feels distressed and angry. However, the inheritance right involves the ancient rules of the Krislier family, so Burnell can't openly favor John.

Jonathan is aggressive, obviously not wanting John to regain the right to inherit.

Burnell knows how scheming Jonathan is.

Burnell tosses the document to Jonathan gloomily, "You should take responsibility for your own mistake. Finish your meal. Whoever can't shut up then get out!"
