Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 528

Chapter 528 Emma, I Have No Place to Live

"As for Sophia, there's nothing left for you in the Old Riley's will."
Aria said angrily, "What? Why not? There must be something wrong with this will!"
The lawyer passed her the file, "There were other lawyers there, and they all testified this. Miss Riley, You may approach us at any time you want if you need any further checks."
"That can't be true. Grandpa was nice to Sophia. He wouldn't leave her nothing!"
"That's all I know. I'm just a lawyer. And I was just told to do so."
Aria was about to say something more but Sophia stopped her, "It's okay, Aria."
"Sophia, but..."
Sophia said with a smile, "I don't need anything, right? It's fine that Grandpa leaves me nothing. I didn't marry into this family for the property."
Aria still didn't believe this. And she said to herself that she must find out the truth.
"One more thing!" the lawyer added, "The Old Riley also mentioned in his will that Rashad would be the one to run the Riley Group in the future."
Aria was just thinking about the possibility that the lawyer had colluded with Rashad. But then she turned to look at Drake with an unbelievably shocked face when she heard this.
"That's insane!"
Aria could not believe this! After all, what the Riley family owned today was all thanks to her brother, Drake.
This was totally too much to kick him away just like that!
Rashad suddenly said, "I can't take this."
The others looked at him all at once.
"Seriously, I can't take this. I understand that Grandpa was trying to make it up to me because he thought he owed me after all those years. But Drake should take the credit that the Riley family has gone this far today. He deserves it."
The lawyer looked at Rashad, "I'm impressed that you would think this way. But it was your grandpa's will. Hope you'll put some thought into it."
The lawyer had done everything he had to and he was not needed here anymore, so he left.
Aria was about to catch him but Drake stopped her.
"Drake, what are you dragging me for?"
"Cut it out!"
"I'm serious!"
Aria was suddenly at a loss for words when she turned to stare at Drake.
He walked right up to Rashad, "Rashad, since Grandpa said this in his will, I respect his decision. And I'll let you take over the company then."
"Drake, don't say that. There were indeed some misunderstandings between us before. But we are family. We can't let this affect our relationship."
Rashad was still acting like he was the nice one, even now. What an asshole!
"Rashad, Grandpa must have thought this through before he decided this. On the positive side of things, I get to have more time for Sophia and Bonnie."
Right! Bonnie!
Aria couldn't believe that Grandpa would leave nothing for Bonnie! What was he thinking?
The look in Rashad's eyes changed when he heard what Drake had said but soon returned to normal.
"Drake, you are just gonna leave the Riley Group? You know, I have a lot to learn after I take it over. You can still stay as a vice president."
As a vice president?!
How ironic!
Everyone knew that things wouldn't be that easy if Drake worked as a vice president.
"I wasn't that interested in business anyway. I just didn't want Roman to ruin Grandpa's hard work. But now with you, I have to say that you're more than qualified. And I trust you."
"Drake, but..."
Drake looked at him, "Rashad, you don't have to feel bad about it. It was Grandpa's decision, so just take it."
Lily came over, "Drake, you've always been a good man. I don't want the things that have happened recently to affect your marriage."
"But, your wife..."
Lily noticed the look in Drake's eyes as she said it.
"I know you don't like hearing this, but I'm just worried about you."
"Well," Sophia had always been Drake's soft spot, "there's nothing for you to worry about."
Drake then left the Riley manor with Sophia and others.
Aria looked confused because these things happened too suddenly. And they all happened when she was on the filming set. So she hadn't figured it all out yet.
"Drake, there must be something wrong with Grandpa's will. You need to find it out!"
Drake replied, "There's nothing wrong. And there's no need to waste time on this."
"What? That's impossible! If that's the true will, how come we don't get anything? But Rashad and his mother get everything from Grandpa? What? Grandpa gave them all because he felt that he owed them a lot for not being around them these years? Is it possible?"
"That sounds like an explanation."
"That's so unfair for Sophia and Bonnie."
Sophia said lightly, "Actually, no offense, but I don't really care what Grandpa did to us. The point is, what he decided was unfair to you both."
That was certainly the truth!
Drake and Aria didn't say anything about this because he was their grandpa after all.
But everyone had a scale in their minds.
Emma had known what was in the will when she saw them. She asked Drake first, "Drake, what's your plan, then?"
Drake held Sophia's hand, "Well, I'm gonna count on Sophia for the rest of my life."
Sophia held his hand back tightly with a smile, "Honey, thanks for your trust in me. I promise I'll provide for you forever."
"Hey! Could you please stop showing PDA in front of me!" Aria bantered them.
Emma was waiting for Drake to say his plan.
"Mom, I've been working around the clock these years since Sophia left Sealand. It's time for me to take a break."
Emma nodded, "Alright. You take a break for a while. And then make a plan for the next."
Paul, who was standing aside, couldn't help but touch his nose and thought, 'Drake doesn't need any plans. He's King of the Underworld for god's sake, that's better than the CEO of the Riley Group!'
Laura also nodded, "That's right. Drake's been working hard these years. Besides, what do we need all that money for? Living happily with family is what really matters."
Abbott was also fine with it. He had never expected his daughter to marry a rich guy.
The Lawson family was loaded. And it was enough as long as the man Sophia was married to loved her and would always be there for her.
Meanwhile, Baron took advantage of it and said in a pitiful tone, "Emma, you don't have to worry about him, he's fine. But me, I... I have no place to live in!"
Emma faked a cough to cover the embarrassment.
She didn't expect Baron would say this out loud so shamelessly in front of everybody.
This suddenly lightened the mood, which had been a bit down before.
Abbott and Laura exchanged a glance each with a smile.
