Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 841

Edward and Gavin felt Old Mrs. Whelan's authority and immediately fell silent.

"Mom... Mom..." Daniel Whelan called out softly.

Old Mrs. Whelan suddenly sat up in bed, entirely motionless, her eyes wide open.

Daniel waved a hand in front of her face. There was no reaction.

He checked her breathing. She was gone.

"She's dead," Elena said from the side.

She didn't even need to step closer to check. Just looking at her state, she knew the old woman had passed. Sometimes, right before death, people experienced terminal lucidity, suddenly acting as energetic as they were in their youth. But once that burst of vitality vanished, their life reached its end.

"Mom!" Daniel wrapped his arms around Old Mrs. Whelan and broke down in tears.

She was his biological mother, after all. No matter what she had done in the past, they had made their peace at the very end. Old Mrs. Whelan had been right about one thing: Daniel truly was the kindest among them.

"Mom is gone!" Edward said, his eyes welling up with tears.

Gavin wiped the corner of his eye, though it was hard to tell if the tears were genuine or forced.

As for Maggie and Lauren, they practically competed over who could wail the loudest.

"Oh, Mom! Why did you have to leave us!" Maggie cried out. Inwardly, she was thrilled. *Finally dead! No one will be breathing down my neck anymore.*

"Mom! How could you bear to leave us behind! Mom!" Lauren sobbed loudly. Her internal monologue was entirely different. *You dead old hag, I finally outlasted you.*

Cathy and Jane looked completely indifferent, not showing an ounce of sorrow.

Edward took the document and scanned it. When he saw the distribution of assets, he was utterly bewildered.

"Impossible! This is impossible! Why would Mom leave the Whelan Group to Daniel? And why does Elena get a share? What right does she have? I only get a tiny fraction of shares and some cash! Why!"

Gavin grabbed the will next. Looking at the breakdown, he grew just as furious.

"This will is fake! It's a fake! Daniel, did you forge this yourself? There is no way Mom would divide things up like this!"

Lauren and Maggie refused to believe it either. But seeing the terms written clearly in black and white dealt them a massive blow. The glares they directed at the First Branch were laced with sheer hostility.

Cathy and the others were no better, staring daggers at Daniel and his family.

Everyone knew that Old Mrs. Whelan had despised the First Branch the most while she was alive. Yet now, she had essentially left the vast majority of the Whelan family's wealth to them.
