Upon hearing Ivan’s words, all people at the scene were startled.
Particularly, Sierra gaped at Ivan. Her tightly clenched hands trembled.
As far as Sierra knew about Robert, she had guessed that Robert probably would have written a will. Also, she had guessed that Ivan was the person who kept it.
Hence, after discussing with Jayson, Sierra wanted to stop Ivan from coming back after he had gone abroad for surgery.
When the news of Robert’s death had been spread, they would stop Ivan from coming back immediately.
For that purpose, Jayson and she had thought about a lot of methods and contacted a lot of people in their networks, so that Ivan couldn’t come back at all.
However, their plan failed unexpectedly. Although they had used all kinds of means to stop Ivan from coming back, Ivan didn’t get injured. Instead, he had vanished.
Back then, Sierra had been quite worried, afraid that Ivan would suddenly show up and make trouble.
However, until Robert’s funeral was over and the first meeting for the estate distribution ended yesterday, Ivan didn’t show up.
Sierra had thought that she almost could win. However, she had never expected that Ivan would show up at this moment.
He showed up when everything would be decided and she could get the estate.
Sierra didn’t believe that the content of Robert would be the same result she had expected. She wanted to deny the will.
However, Ivan was Robert’s closest cousin. For the sake of his words and her public image as a good wife and kind mother, Sierra suppressed her impulse to question Ivan.
She forced a smile, but she still looked quite annoyed.
“Ivan, you’ve finally come back. Where have you been recently? Why couldn’t we get in touch with you at all?” Sierra greeted Ivan with a smile after standing up.
Ivan sat up indifferently, completely ignoring her.
Sierra looked more annoyed. Right then, the atmosphere in the living room was quite stagnant. Everyone felt a bit weird.
It seemed that Ivan and Sierra were not close.
“Ivan, do you really have Robert’s will?” Paul asked since he was the oldest family member on the scene and he had the final say.
Others were all gazing at Ivan, wondering about the content in the will that Ivan had.
Of course, they wouldn’t suspect that Ivan was lying.
They all knew his reputation. Ivan was a talented doctor. He didn’t lack money. Generally speaking, he wouldn’t fight with them for Robert’s estate.
Others also envied him. It was quite reasonable that Robert asked him to be the executor of his will.
The most important was what on earth was written in Robert’s will.
Sierra’s face had turned pale completely. She guessed that she couldn’t inherit as much as she planned according to this will.
However, Robert let Georgia inherit his estate, which made Sierra so reluctant.
She could accept to inherit less estate, but she wouldn’t allow Georgia to compete with her. It was the same as stomping her dignity.
Sierra felt that the Simpsons were gazing at her ironically. If she hadn’t been suppressing her temper in the past few years, she had already hopped up and snapped to those people.
However, no matter how good her temper was now, she couldn’t help but ask Ivan, “Ivan, this is Robert’s estate, so he has the right to deal with it by himself. Guys, let’s calm down. Let Ivan finish reading the will and then we can ask her to explain things about Georgia Lane.”
Dora was quite reluctant. Kenny stopped her, hinting at her to calm down for the time being and let Ivan finish reading the will.
Ivan smiled and continued, “That’s the distribution plan for the antiques, gems, calligraphy, and paintings. Aunt Maisie would inherit most of them. Georgia Lane and her daughter will inherit the real estate. I’ll give you a copy of this plan later and you can see the details.
“Then it comes to the stock shares and funds. All funds in Robert’s name will be inherited and managed by Georgia Lane. As for the stock shares, Robert has divided them into three parts. One for Aunt Maisie, and the rest for Georgia Lane and her daughter, Annie. Aunt Maisie’s share will be managed by Georgia Lane.
“For the annual stock dividends, according to Robert’s will, he promised to give the families of Grandpa Paul, Smith, and Jenkins one percent each as well as one percent of stock dividends for the charity fund.
“The cash on Robert’s account will be inherited by Georgia Lane and her daughter...
“Robert’s private jet, luxury cars, yachts, and the private stock shares will be inherited by Georgia Lane and her daughter...”
