Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 605

Chapter 605 Sophia Turned out to Be the Biggest Winner

The attending doctor came over. Lily begged, "Doc, please let me take a look at my boy. I must tell him what is going on with the company! Please!"
"Are you serious? It wasn't easy for him to survive. Now you wanna kill him with that bad news?" scolded the doctor.
"What? That bad?" said Lily unbelievably.
"Yes, that bad. Try something else on the company. Don't tell him a word about the company if you want him to live," The doctor said and tried to go in the ward.
Lily caught up and begged again, "Doc, he's my son. Can I see him, please?"
"Mr. Riley said, no one can get in without his permission," the doctor said and went in.
"Without his permission... Doesn't he know who is in charge now?" murmured Lily.
At that very moment, a bunch of people, led by Drake, were coming over. He had the charisma of a real King and looked dashing!
Lily looked toward him and felt great pressure. In fact, she should get back at him for what he had done to Rashad.
Somehow, she felt guilty, but she could not show weakness. She shouted loudly, looking like she was pumping herself up.
"What are you doing here, Drake? Wanna add insult to injury, huh? You've hurt Rashad right after your grandfather was dead. How dare you! You don't deserve to be a man! You are a monster!"
Saying it, Lily had butterflies in her stomach. She was afraid that Drake would give her a hard time if she pissed him off. After all, Drake was the heir of the Riley family, and King of the Underworld.
The man standing next to Drake was the lawyer, who had read the will on the Old Riley's funeral. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Sorry, Ms. Witt, I asked Mr. Riley to come."
"What do you mean?" asked Lily confusedly.
"I've observed for long and I think it's time to read the Old Riley Riley's second will." he said.
"What? There's a second will?" said Lily in surprise.
The lawyer began reading the second will, "You might not understand why I'm doing this. But this is how I make up to my eldest son's family, Lily and Rashad Witt. I hope they can keep up with the good work and not let me down. Otherwise, you'll have to hear the second will."
"Now that you're hearing the second will, it means they've let me down. I always know Drake has no interest in inheriting the company, and he won't say anything if I do it this way. But Lily and Rashad, you just came back for my properties only!"
"Well, I sometimes think what properties can bring us. We weren't born with them and we can't take them along when we die. Why would people do something conscienceless for them? Forget it. Now that you've seen it, it has no turning back."
"This is the second and the last will of mine. From now on, Drake will take full charge of the Riley Group and the Riley family. I'll give the following house properties to my eldest son's family, Lily and Rashad Witt. The rest of the properties are divided as below. Sophia has 20% of the company stocks. Drake has 18% of the company stocks. Aria has 2% of the company stocks. Baron has 5% of the company stocks. Emma has 10% of the company stocks..."
Lily listened and got shocked, especially when she heard that the Old Riley had only left them several overseas house properties. She knew the Old Riley had planned it ahead of time. They would be fine as long as they kept themselves in line, but they had disappointed him.
The lawyer finished reading the will, walked up to her and gave her the documents.
"Ms Witt, the Old Riley gave you the chance. It wouldn't have happened if you've done your best to help keep the family business and leave Mr. Drake Riley alone. Unfortunately, you let him down. Take your share, leave and never come back again."
"I hope you can understand it."
Lily trembled and took over the documents. She wasn't resigned to it but she couldn't fight back.
Rashad was still lying in the ward and she even couldn't visit him. More importantly, Drake was King of the Underworld. Was it a mistake that they came back at first?
Drake went to Lily and said, "Lily, I hope you and Rashad can do according to Grandfather's will. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
It wasn't a threat. Given what he had done recently, that was exactly his plan.
The lawyer looked at Drake and said, "Let's hurry back to the office. They need you!"
"Smarten up," Drake said it and left immediately.
The news that Drake was in full charge of the Riley Group again had shaken the world. At first, the stock prices, which had been dropping from the opening, rebounded and skyrocketed soon till they hit the higher limit for four times. That was rare.
The lawyer had also published the Old Riley's will. It surprised people that Drake's wife, Sophia turned out to be the biggest winner. Drake was still the CEO of the Riley Group, but clearly, Sophia was his boss.
Gee! The shoe was on the other foot! Sophia gained nothing when the Old Riley died. At that time, the outsiders thought she wasn't valued and favored in the family. But it turned out to be a twist!
This was what the Old Riley really wanted to give her!
Sophia couldn't be luckier to have the stocks of the Lawson Group and the Riley Group.
But Sophia didn't know anything of it yet. She stayed at home with Bonnie today. It'd been a while since she spent time with Bonnie last time. So, Bonnie clung to her, wanting to play toys with her and hear stories.
Emma saw it when she came in. She watched them for a while but they didn't notice her. Then she said with a smile, "Sophia. Bonnie. Surprise!"
Sophia and Bonnie looked up at her at the same time.
Bonnie climbed up from the floor and ran over to her, "Grandma! There you are! I miss you!"
"I miss you, too. Why don't you come visit Grandma?" Emma said and pretended to be upset.
