Chapter 405 The Precious Daughter of the McGraw Family
Seeing Bentley come out, everyone went up and surrounded him.
Russell asked nervously, “Bentley, how is it?”
Bentley lowered his head and said nothing. His face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell whether the test results were good or bad.
Looking at Bentley’s face, everyone felt very nervous.
Viola took a deep breath and said, “Bentley, just say it. No matter how bad the result is, it won’t be much worse than now. I can take it.”
Bentley remained silent. Facing everyone’s gazes, he walked to Viola and hugged her shoulders tightly.
Bentley revealed a rare smile and said,
“Viola, you are my sister. You are the most. precious daughter of the McGraw family!”
As soon as Bentley finished his words, everyone felt relieved.
Only Ormand kept a long face. He went up to separate Bentley and Viola and pulled Viola back into his own arms.
“You two are already adults. Don’t hug others in public even if you’re brothers and sisters.”
“Come on!” Viola looked at Ormand, who was jealous now. Her hand quietly reached into Ormand’s nightwear and pinched the soft flesh on his waist.
Russell secretly breathed a sigh of relief and complained to Bentley, “When can you have more expressions on your face? Don’t put on such a scary face! You should be happy at this time!”
Russell seriously doubted whether Bentley could find a wife in his life.
What kind of woman could win Bentley’s heart?
Bentley’s expression was indifferent, and he completely ignored Russell’s complaint.
Then, they began to discuss tomorrow’s return banquet.
In order to avoid someone’s suspicion,
Bentley and Russell braved the rain and secretly returned to Adain Mountain.
Although Viola had solved the problem of her past, she still felt heavy in her heart and could not fall asleep.
Ormand noticed Viola’s low mood and hugged her tightly in his arms. He gently kissed her forehead.
“Viola, I understand you. I know that this matter makes you feel very uncomfortable.
After all, he is someone that you have admired for more than twenty years. Being betrayed by someone you care about is the most painful thing in the world.”
Viola’s eyes gradually became red. She buried her face into Ormand’s chest, not saying a word.
Ormand continued, “But Bentley is right. I also think this thing is incredible. Maybe… He has his own difficulties. You have to see him in person tomorrow, listen to his explanation, and then make a conclusion.”
Viola nodded gently and put her arms around Ormand’s waist even tighter.
“You are not alone right now. Even if your don’t want to rest, the baby still needs to rest. You should calm down and fall asleep for the sake of our baby.”
“But… I really can’t sleep. I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart…”
Ormand sighed silently and asked, “Then I’ll tell you a bedtime story to make you sleep. What do you think?”
“No!” Viola pouted her mouth. “You are a terrible storyteller!”
“It’s just because the story is boring that you will be able to fall asleep!”
Viola suddenly didn’t know how to reply.
Ormand’s words sounded reasonable! Viola actually didn’t know how to refuse!
Thus, Viola listened to Ormand tell a bedtime. story for twenty minutes.
Then, Viola finally successfully fell asleep!
After a few hours, dawn came.
Bobby and Max stood on the stage, showing a harmonious scene of brother and sister deep in love and humility.
In the end, under Max’s persuasion, Bobby reluctantly accepted the “burden” of signing the inheritance right.
Pearce was the McGraw family’s lawyer. He showed up with a paper bag with inheritance. documents in it. He presented the bag to Bobby with both hands.
Bobby took the pen that Max personally handed to him. Then, he prepared to sign his name on the inheritance document.
“Wait!”
There was a sudden sound coming from outside the hall.
Bobby’s hand, which was about to write his name, trembled slightly. A drop of thick ink fell from the tip of the brush to the paper.
Hearing the familiar voice, Bobby knew who had come. But he still raised his head to look in the direction of the voice.
All the guests below turned around and looked outside the door.
Viola was wearing a fiery red dress. Even though she wasn’t wearing high heels, she still walked in an imposing manner.
The iris flower at the side of Viola’s dress. swayed along with her graceful footsteps, making her look elegant, charming, and proud.
Beside Viola was Ormand, who was wearing a silver-grey ghost mask.
One of them was cold and arrogant, and the other had a mocking smile on his face. They walked into the villa garden hand in hand, instantly attracting the attention of all the guests and reporters. When Viola showed up, the guests finally noticed that the beloved daughter of the
McGraw family had just arrived! So where had she been before that moment?
Many people present began to discuss and guess.
On the stage, Max calmly picked up the microphone and tried to drag everyone’s attention back. “Viola, today is my big day. Why are you and Mr. Hobson here so late?”
Max meant to push the blame onto Viola and accuse her of being late. She was suggesting to others that there was no need to make a fuss.
Viola looked at Max from afar, and the mocking smile on her face became even more apparent. “Max, even if Bobby won’t get the right of inheritance, you are not qualified to get it instead!”
