My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 277

Hilary saw a piece of paper falling from Grandma Eva and she went to pick it up. The paper was old. It was faded as if it had existed for years.

Opening it, Hilary was shocked. She gave it to Jacob immediately.

"What is this?" Jacob took it and watched carefully. He was shocked, too. But he remained outwardly composed. Other people were curious about what was on the paper. All stretched out their neck and looked over Jacob's shoulder.

"Send the lawyer to me. This is Grandma Eva's will. Let the lawyer read it for us." Jacob called the lawyer of HD Group to come over.

Soon, the lawyer arrived. He looked at the will and began to frown. Although he had some doubts, he just read the will.

The will was mainly about the distribution of property. Grandma Eva transferred her 3% shares to Jacob and gave all of her property to Addy to thank for her care and help.

Grandma Eva had 3% of the shares of HD Group, which was not a small amount of money. She gave it all to Jacob and left nothing to William.

Grandpa had allocated the shares early in the past. Everyone in the family had access to the shares. The only difference lied in the amount. Jacob had the most of the shares, which was 20% because he needed to exercise the power of the executive chairman. Halbert had 10% of the shares, which was distributed by his descendants after his death. Each of the rest people got 3%. Now, Jacob got additional 1%. If it went on like that, he would get more and more shares, which would make the situation awkward.

The will seemed genuine according to Grandma Eva's handwriting and her handprint. And the will was made three years ago when she had only 3% of the shares. All of this added authenticity to the will.

"As an uneducated person, Grandma's thought to make will is so fashionable!" Hilary sneered. Her instinct told her that this will was fake but she had no evidence to prove it.

"I don't know anything about it until today." Addy shook her hand in a haste and faked an honest and simple look, attempting not to let anyone suspect her.

"We will act in terms of the will. That is the respect for the dead," said Jacob. He didn't care about that money. He motioned to the lawyer to deal with this matter.

This year, the Carter family descended into chaos. At first, there were a lot of problems in the HD Group. Then two people died during only three months. People in R City kept gossiping whether the Carter family was doomed.

To fulfill Grandpa John's dying wish, Grandma Eva and he were not in one tomb. He wished he could never stay with her. Therefore, one tomb was in the east while the other in the west and between them lied the tomb of Halbert.

Looking at the three people, everyone was sad, especially Addy, who clung to the tombstone with a piercing cry as if in the tomb was her own mother.

"Well, we will obey to the will," said Hilary in a black dress. She had enough of her hypocrisy. She also bore extreme resentment towards Amy because everything went from bad to worse since she came back. It was heard that Amy orchestrated all of these things. Why did she do that to them? Weren't they her family?
