Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 362

"Of course." Gabriel stared at Kelly.

He failed to tell her that the lawyer was already at Aquastead. As soon as Oliver returned to Aquastead, the lawyer hurriedly came over in secret. Judging by Kelly's actions tonight, it seemed that Oliver was well aware of everything.

Hearing Gabriel's affirmative answer, Kelly became even happier. She dared not be too obvious and sighed to look assured. "Following Grandpa's wishes is the only thing I can do for him."

Kelly lowered her gaze, appearing truly indifferent. But Gabriel knew this woman's true nature. Unable to suppress his disgust, he made an excuse of being tired and asked Kelly to leave.

Back in her room, Kelly eagerly started planning for everything that would follow.

The next morning, the entire estate came alive with activity. The cremation, set for today, was preceded by paying respects to Oliver's remains.

The old man lay perfectly still inside the crystal coffin. Since Oliver's death, this was Kelly's first time seeing him. Seeing him now in the coffin, it looked as if Oliver had merely fallen asleep. Kelly was momentarily stunned.

"Ms. Kelly, what's wrong?" A voice sounded from behind her. Fortunately, she was able to quickly wipe away her tears and pretend to be grieving.

"I... I miss Grandpa."

Amid the sorrowful atmosphere, her words made everyone's heart sink. The butler wiped his eyes, unable to hold back his tears. Kelly pretended to cry and stole another glance at Oliver in the crystal coffin.

It was supposed to be a gruesome sight, yet he seemed at peace. She immediately recalled how Oliver's corpse underwent a restoration process. It had been flawless.

"Dad!" Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry echoed through the entire memorial hall. Everyone turned toward the source of the sound.

Chloe was kneeling in front of the crystal coffin. Gabriel's heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that she might cause trouble. He hurriedly approached, intending to take her away.

But before Gabriel could reach her, Chloe spoke abruptly. "Dad, before you are cremated, we should divide the Young family's assets." She had gotten straight to the point.

After a moment of surprise, everyone's expressions changed.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Gabriel shouted. He didn't expect her to be so impulsive. This was something to think about privately, not to be brought up in public. Besides, Grandpa didn't… Someone was bound to bring up this matter in this situation.

"What do you mean?" Gabriel was furious. He pulled Chloe up, wanting to take her away to prevent her from doing anything more outrageous.

Chloe felt as sure as ever that her son had become even more disobedient after coming to Aquastead. However, she couldn't shake off Gabriel's strength.

Gabriel's agitation raised a slight suspicion in Kelly's heart. He had promised her last night and even used his connections to bring the lawyer to Aquastead. She had even seen the lawyer outside just now. Why was Gabriel opposing it now that Chloe brought it up?

But before Kelly could react, Miles' voice rang out. "Aunty Chloe is right. There should be a resolution of the Young family's assets." Miles spoke as if he was the one making the final decision.

"See? Miles agrees with me too. So why are you not letting go?" Chloe glared fiercely at Gabriel. She had a look in her eyes that warned him to settle the matter today.

Seeing that Miles remained silent, Chloe continued speaking. "Since none of you object, let's settle it this way. Mr. Tank..."

Mr. Tank was the lawyer Chloe brought along. After being summoned, Mr. Tank immediately stepped forward. He had an authoritative demeanor. But before he could speak, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Oliver signed a will."

Everyone turned to face it. A middle-aged man stood outside the memorial hall. Everyone recognized him as none other than Oliver's trusted lawyer.

Kelly's eyes lit up at the sight of him. That day in Oliver's room, he was the one who witnessed Oliver drafting the will. Kelly's excitement surged in her veins.

However, Chloe's face soured. "What will? Oliver made it clear that he didn't write a will. As per tradition, the Young family's assets will be divided based on individual abilities."

Although she said so, Chloe was already feeling uneasy. The lawyer was the son of Oliver's longtime friend. If he really took out Oliver's will... No. Chloe couldn't let that happen.

She glared at the lawyer with displeasure. "Mr. Kane, just because our families are old friends, you can't come and join in the fun by playing tricks at a time like this. My father is right here. If Mr. Kane has nothing important to add, you should leave after bidding farewell to my father."

Chloe immediately tried to get rid of him. However, Mr. Kane just gave her a faint glance and walked into the memorial hall. He didn't bid farewell to Oliver as Chloe had hoped, but instead stood in front of the crystal coffin, taking out a sealed document bag from his briefcase.

"Mr. Young Senior watched me grow up. My professional integrity doesn't allow me to play tricks. This will was personally drafted by Oliver not long ago and has been notarized. Mr. Miles, would you like me to read it out?" Mr. Kane asked as he looked at Miles.
