Hendrix nodded and said, "We'll go upstairs and say our goodbyes to Master Hayes!"
The butler nodded.
In Master Hayes's bedroom, a group of people was kneeling on the squeaky-clean floor. Some were sobbing, some were quietly crying, and some were silent.
Miss Monica from a few moments ago went up to the butler once she saw him coming. Not caring about anything else, she tugged on the butler's sleeve and asked, "Ainsley, did father write his will? Did he give you any orders before he left?"
Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the group of people kneeling on the ground. Of course, it was also possible that it was her words that attracted them.
The butler looked at the group of people and said, "Before he left, he only said that if anything happens to him, Young Master Tobias will be the one to take charge. The will was written and the lawyer will arrive shortly to read it out."
"What?" Miss Monica seemed to be unsatisfied. "Why would my father want a brat like him to take charge? There are so many children and grandchildren in the Hayes Family. Why would he choose an illegitimate son to take charge of the Hayes Family? Isn't the Hayes Family embarrassed enough as it is?"
Those who were kneeling on the ground joined Miss Monica. They all disagreed to have Tobias take charge.
