Chapter 593
This was the mindset of the older generation. They believed the inheritance should stay in the family by leaving them to the sons and grandsons as daughters would only grow up to marry into another family.
For families without a direct descendant to bequeath the inheritance to, fellow townspeople would be eyeing the property.
They would keep the wealth in the town.
Many were unwilling to leave their hard–earned assets to someone who did not carry the family name. Hence, they would try to bring a son into the family.
“Are you talking about John Hunt by chance?”
John’s name rang a bell as he was once a senior executive at one of the Stones‘ subsidiaries. John made a million dollars annually.
For John to earn a huge chunk of change from the Stones, to push around her nieces, and to take over her sister’s property, Mrs. Stone could not say he left a good impression.
She needed to get Clive to go hard on John so the latter would not be able to even make a living out of begging in the streets.
“That’s right. My grandparents absolutely adore him since he’s the most promising out of all the grandchildren. They even named him the adopted son of my parents so he has rights to my parents‘ assets.
“My sister and I plan to take back our parents‘ home after New Year’s. I’d rather sell the place than give it to them!”
It would entail another lawsuit.
Although the New Year was around the corner, Serenity had not taken action yet due to her sister’s recent divorce.
The property left behind by her parents was built in the early 90s. The house itself was not worth a lot of money, but the land was. The residence was built on a land of several hundred square yards.
While her parents were alive, they bought land from others and added yards to their residential land.
Mom once told her and Liberty that the land could be split in two for two houses to be built when they grew up and made it out on their own. That way, the sisters would stay close to help and take care of one another.
“That’s bullsh*t! My sister’s property should be inherited by her daughter, not her nephew. Don’t worry, Seren. I’ll help you take back your parents‘ home.
“Ah, do you have the title deed to the property?”
