Chapter 481

Cherise didn't care as if none of it concerned her, staying close to Morris.

Morris glanced over, seemingly understanding everything, and occasionally turned his head to look at Cherise.

Miguel glanced at those present and continued, "Fortunately, we have so many esteemed elders here to witness this. I will now go ahead and read Rayburn's will in its entirety."

Having said that, he took out a manila envelope from his briefcase and carefully extracted a sheet of white paper from it. He began the announcement, "I, Rayburn Muller, born 24 years before the founding of Clusia, am now eighty years old. "I would like to make a distribution of some matters and properes after I pass away in the future.

"To Cherise Leach, my granddaughter, I will leave all the assets under my name, aside from the existing businesses owned by Warren Muller, Toby Muller, and Jason Muller.

"This includes Dream Residence, the Muller family's estate in Hamolica, as well as all my fixed assets, stocks, bonds, and company dividends worldwide... (For details, please see attached or consult with Miguel Bradwell).

"I hope everyone will respect my

decision when you learn about this will.

"Signed: Rayburn Muller; Date: March 6, Year 68 of Clusia."

After Miguel finished reading Rayburn's will, he looked around at everyone and noticed that some attendees were discussing it privately.

Morris turned his head to look at Cherise again. "Rayburn wanted to make it up to you; he must have anticipated this day would come.

"What do you think about suddenly receiving such a large inheritance?"

Cherise smiled slightly. "Honor the deceased and respect his wishes, but it's not like I need the money."

Seeing that everyone was only discussing without voicing any direct opinions, Miguel continued, "This will became legally effective on the day Rayburn signed it. If anyone has objections or disputes, please contact me privately or reach out to Betrico Law Firm." Indeed, it seemed like no one had any objections, including Warren, Jason, Toby, Yulia, and their families.

However, some distant relatives were jealous.

Cherise was already an incredibly wealthy person, and now, with Rayburn's vast assets, it was truly overwhelming.

"Since no one has any objections, we'll hand over this will to Cherise," Miguel said, walking over to Cherise with the document.

He respectfully handed it to her with both hands, "Ms. Leach, this is Rayburn's will. Please accept it."

Cherise stood up, nodded at Miguel in greeting, and took the will, glancing at it before speaking calmly, "Mr. Bradwell, from -this moment on, I'm the owner of the inheritance, right?"

Miguel nodded confidently. "Of course."

Cherise gave soft response

a

and said, "So I have the right to decide how to deal with these assets, right?"

"Correct!" Miguel, not knowing what Cherise intended to do, replied affirmatively once more.

With Miguel's confirmation, Cherise chuckled lightly and said without hesitation, "Could you please assist me in donating this entire inheritance to the welfare programs in Clusia, to those who truly need it?" The room, which had been silent, started buzzing immediately after Cherise said that.,

Many people couldn't fully understand Cherise's actions; Rayburn's inheritance was an astronomical sum.

Everyone knew Cherise was wealthy, but no one would be against having money. Donating a portion was one thing, but donating it all seemed unreasonable.

Morris, however, remained seated, appearing not at all regretful but instead somewhat proud, as if he completely agreed with Cherise's decision,

Seeing doubts from many in the room, Warren walked over and asked Cherise, "Are you sure, Cherise?"

Cherise nodded confidently. "Yes."

Hearing her response, Warren nodded with satisfaction. "Great, support you."

Warren then turned to Miguel and said, "Mr. Bradwell, please respect my niece's choice. As Rayburn's oldest son and Cherise's uncle, I support her." Many people didn't dare to disagree since Rayburn's own son said so, although they thought it was a pity.

Toby stood beside Yulia and gently said, "This young lady really has guts, right, Yulia?"

Yulia smiled and nodded. "She definitely does."

With the inheritance settled, most of Rayburn's affairs were finally taken care of.

Compared to the orderly Muller family, the Hawkins family was in total chaos.

When law enforcement came to gather evidence and confiscate the Hawkins family's assets, Gina put up strong

resistance

She couldn't determine when the Hawkins family started to decline, and she couldn't handle such a sudden and severe fall from grace because she was used to a life of luxury.

After Rita's scandal was made public, all the servants left, and the assets were frozen, leaving behind only this house.

People threw trash on the house, even tossing rotten eggs at the house. Now someone was here to take the house felt completely helpless.

Gina

"You can't take this vase or this one; I bought all of these.

"You can't take the jewelry way either. Are you robbers?

"Why can't you leave me something? I'm already a widow; my children have left me; my own family looks down on me. Can't I at least keep something?"

The officer, seeing her causing a scene and interfering with their work, shouted, "If you keep screaming, I'll arrest you too. "Rita and Garrick did so many awful things. I wouldn't believe you were entirely unaware.

"You want to keep some for yourself, huh? Do you even know which innocent person you ruined to get this dirty money you're spending?

"You can stay for one more night in this big house. Once the paperwork is ready tomorrow, someone will come to evict you.

"Now either you watch quietly, or we'll escort you out.

Gina said no more, scared by their shouting. She huddled in the corner, softly sobbing.

After everyone left, taking cartloads of things with them, the empty mansion was left with only her. That was when she broke down crying.

Tired from crying, she curled up into a ball and continued to hide in the corner.

A shadow suddenly appeared, looming over her, making her slowly lift her head.

Seeing who it was, Gina burst out crying. "Hannia, have you come to see me?

"You can't bear to leave me, can you? The Hawkins family is finished. I know I was wrong. I made big mistakes..."
