Chapter 489 The Inheritance Distribution
Soon, the Fowlers leaned toward supporting a divorce between Pierre and Selena. In their eyes, Selena was a cunning lady. She had a net worth of several billion now, so there was no doubt that she had married Pierre for the family inheritance.
As John’s daughter-in-law, she would definitely be entitled to a portion of the inheritance, and her portion would be larger than the others. For the others, this would be a zero-sum game. The more inheritance she received, the lesser the remaining share to be distributed among the other members of the family.
The Fowler relatives were glad to know that Chris was not related to John by blood, because Helen and Chris would therefore be ineligible for John’s inheritance. Similarly, that would mean more pie to be distributed among the rest.
That was the reason they urged Pierre and Selena to share the will. If they could drive a wedge between Pierre and Selena’s relationship, they could potentially receive more share of the inheritance.
Their faces and chatter disgusted Pierre, who now looked annoyed. “Selena, don’t you think the noises here are getting quite annoying?”
Everyone immediately understood the meaning behind his words and shut up. She smiled at him. “Yes, it’s quite annoying. Shall we head home now?”
“Good idea.” While speaking, he took her hand and attempted to walk out of the venue. Of course, he was once again stopped by his family members.
“Pierre, you have not shared the contents of the will. How could you leave? Just announce the details. Everyone here is waiting for it. Am I right?”
“Pierre, it’s time to make it public. We can’t leave the company’s fate hanging. Our employees are also concerned about the future of the company. If you have the will with you, please share it now.” Joseph addressed him as an elder member of the family.
Pierre looked at Selena and asked, “Selena, should we make the will public right now?”
His obedient and meek demeanor shocked everyone in his family. They wondered how he had changed from an authoritative figure to a man who feared his wife.
