Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 387

Comforted by Eleanor, Millicent seemed much more at ease.

She called the butler over and had the lawyers brought in.

The lawyer glanced around the room and asked, "Madam, should we ask non-essential personnel to leave?"

"No need," Millicent said. "Read the will."

The lawyer complied.

He began reading the will.

He read out the names of the beneficiaries.

The inheritance was divided into five portions.

Besides Millicent, there were four other shares.

The names belonged to the children Millicent and Arthur had together. Although they had eight children, four had passed away, leaving four still living.

Among them was Alastair.

Alastair was Millicent's youngest son.

Naturally, she heavily favored him.

As soon as the beneficiaries' names were announced, the room erupted in whispers.

The main reason being—Lucius was not on the list.

Madeline and Quentin exchanged a glance.

Naturally, Lucius was the most shocked of all. He demanded, "Are you not finished? Are there any other beneficiaries?"

The lawyer double-checked the document. Although it was lengthy, there were indeed no other beneficiaries.

Lucius was stunned. "That... how is that possible? Grandfather didn't leave me anything?"

The lawyer nodded. "Yes."

"Keep reading," Millicent commanded.

Lucius was fuming internally, wondering what went wrong, but given the gravity of the moment, he couldn't cause a scene.

He let the lawyer finish reading the will.

Various shares, funds, real estate... all were distributed among the listed beneficiaries.

Until they reached the shares for the Whitman Group.

The lawyer announced, "The beneficiary of the inheritance rights to the Whitman Group shares is Alastair Whitman."

The room erupted in shock once again!

Lucius had assumed this will was only a portion of the estate, and that the corporate shares were outlined in a separate document. He never expected this.

This was the complete will.

The one inheriting the corporate shares was Alastair, not him!
