Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1333
Lyna was beaming from the praises. “I appreciate the sentiment, but we don’t know who’s taking over until my father says so. I can’t do anything too drastic just yet,” she said ‘humbly.’
“Oh, you’re so modest, Ms. Blackwood. We know you’re taking over sooner or later,” one of the employees buttered her up.
Everyone chimed in, and Lyna’s smile broadened.
“Wait. Mr. Blackwood has a son, doesn’t he?” a newbie blurted out in ignorance.
Everyone threw him weird looks, and Lyna stopped laughing. An awkward silence fell, and the newbie realized he had spoken out of line. He quickly changed his tune, “Um, I need to use the restroom.”
With that, he scurried off quickly.
“He’s a newbie, Ms. Blackwood. Don’t blame him for speaking out of line,” one of the employees tried to shift the topic.
“He isn’t wrong though. I have a brother. It’s obvious who my father’s going to hand his estate over to.” Lyna had a cold, faraway look in her eyes, and a mirthless smile curled her lips.
She had thought about that possibility before, and she had tried to get rid of Winson through that surgery. However, not only did she fail, she made a new enemy for the inheritance—Hannah.
Winson was a boy. He might be young, but her father still had quite some years left in him. She knew he’d hand his inheritance to Winson. After Hannah’s marriage with Fabian, her father seemed to like her more and more.
