Chapter 498 John Fowler’s Meticulous Plan
A video started playing on the screen. John appeared in the video, seated in his study at the Fowler Residence. “When you watch this video, I must already be six feet under. I know that each one of you must be quarreling over my will. Chris, you have always been a good kid, and I know that you will not object to my will.
But you must be upset because I left nothing for you, and I put your fate in your brother’s hands. To be honest with you, I am taking a bet with that decision. I am betting on you to trust and respect your brother. I am also betting on him to take good care of you. Yes, that’s right—I placed a bet on the bond of your brotherhood.”
“But I believe I would win the bet. Chris, please don’t blame me. You’ve shown no talent in running a business, and I know that you have other ambitions. Don’t worry; Pierre will not mistreat you. I have faith in your relationship.”
“As for our relatives, you need to have faith in the heir of Fowler Corporation, my eldest son. Pierre is absolutely qualified to take over the leadership of the company, and he is capable of growing the business. If you work hard, he will make sure you are properly compensated. Finally, to Pierre…”
John suddenly fell silent at that point before resuming. “I will leave my words for you in a separate video. I won’t address you here. I would like to hand over the family responsibilities to you, and I trust that you will do a better job than I did.”
“Here, I would like to give a special mention to Selena Yard, my daughter-in-law. She’s a smart young lady who’s given me three precious grandchildren—two boys and a girl! She has contributed a lot to the family, and it is only right to give her a portion of the company shares. She has my approval as my daughter-in-law, and she will be the future matriarch of the family. No one else is allowed to question her position!”
After watching the video, the Fowler relatives sank into a deafening silence.
John had made it very clear his reasons behind drafting the will. There was no point arguing anymore.
When the video ended, the lights were switched on as Pierre shrugged at his relatives. “Ladies and gentlemen, any comments?”
