You Hit My Heart -
Chapter 120
"Did the old lady revise her will today? What did she say?"
"Sorry, I must protect my client's privacy.” Mr. Baldwin held up hisglasses and retorted.
"After Stephanie left, it would be I who will be running the family. I willnaturally take care of you more in the future. I just want to know, am Ion the board?" Jacqueline hinted.
Mr. Baldwin hesitated and nodded.
Jacqueline was relieved that Stephanie had finally given her a chance,and the fact that she was on the board meant that she would havemore than 5% of the shares. For so many years, she had been on theperiphery of the group, but she had never been able to get to the heartof the power. Now she was finally going to get what she wanted."Great, I'm relieved." She was beaming with a smile.
"Ma'am, I would like to remind you. Although Ms. Stephanie hasmodified her will today. But it does not mean that this will be the finalwill." Mr. Baldwin said.
"What do you mean?" Jacqueline was surprised, "Doesn't a will that ismodified at the presence of a lawyer have finality?"
Mr. Baldwin shook his head, "It used to be, but new rules were issuedthis year. A notarized will, an oral will, a self-written will, are all valid. Ifall of these wills exist at the same time, then only the last will be valid.""So, even to the last minute, Stephanie can make her own changes?"Jacqueline frowned.
"That's right. It can be understood that way.” Mr. Baldwin bent andbowed, "If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
When Mr. Baldwin left, Jacqueline sat down on the couch.
Damn the new rules. It seemed she could let her guard down untilStephanie breathed her last.
Shelly sat beside her and soothed, "Mom, it's okay, don't think toomuch. If Grandma does not leave the shares to us, then who shouldshe give them all to? It's all the Warner family's assets.”
After saying that, Shelly suddenly got a jolt.
The image of Joyce came to her mind. No way, she shook off her head.No matter what, her grandmother could not leave a share of theinheritance to Joyce, an outsider. What was she thinking?
Jacqueline and Shelly both sat down for a short while.
They then got all the way to Stephanie's room.
Stephanie had just had her painkillers and seemed to be in fair spirits.Jacqueline rushed forward and diligently helped Stephanie to sit up andput a cushion behind her back.
"Mom, Cecelia wants to meet you." Jacqueline asked cautiously.Since Joyce and Luther's marriage license was revealed, she has beenunder a lot of pressure, and while she did benefit from the soaringmarket price of the R&S Group, the pressure from the Heath family wasjust too much.
"No." Stephanie shook her head.
“That ..." Jacqueline was a little embarrassed.
“The Heath family's recovered daughter, named Charlotte, right?"Stephanie asked.
"Yes." Shelly replied.
"Next Sunday, ask her over.” Stephanie finished and closed her eyesand the rest looked puzzled and unsure of what she was thinking.Jacqueline's heart was filled with joy! Stephanie was finally acceptingCharlotte?
She hastily agreed, "Yes, I'll arrange it."
“Let her come alone. And no one is allowed to be present, including Mr.Arnold, and give him the day off." Stephanie instructed, "If there'snothing else, you guys should go back."
When she finished, she lay down to rest and stopped paying attention.Jacqueline and Shelly both left the room looking suspicious.Stephanie, what's your plan actually? She could not help but feelstrange.
When Shelly returned to the living room, she met Joyce, who had justreturned.
