Taking the stage, he delivered an official statement.
After congratulating Valerie on her return, it was time to address important matters.
With all the guests as witnesses, Graham announced Valerie’s right to inherit the family fortune.
Valerie felt honored by the announcement. Taking the microphone, she politely addressed Graham.
“Graham, I know you love me and wish to give me the best, but I don’t see myself sitting in an office, handling company affairs. I prefer my career as an actress!”
Her candidness elicited laughter from the guests and media present.
They were amused by the straightforwardness of this nineteen-year-old girt.

Amidst the laughter, Valerie continued, “Therefore, Graham, I believe that you, the most capable member of our family, should inherit the family business!”

Graham, with his sharp gaze, didn’t immediately respond. Instead, he said in a gentle tone, “You are the youngest daughter of our family, and we owe you a great deal. Father once stated that only his daughter has the right to inherit his properties. Thus, you must accept it.”
“Graham, I insist. I firmly believe that you’re the most capable individual should lead the family. Please don’t refuse!” Valerie pleaded.
The two siblings stood on the stage, displaying their modesty and their close bond.
In the end, persuaded by Valerie’s persistence, Graham reluctantly accepted the responsibility and assumed the role of family leader.
With a kraft paper bag containing the inheritance documents, Ismael handed it to Graham with both hands.
As Graham prepared to sign his name on the inheritance document, someone shouted, “Wait!”
A sudden interruption occurred outside the villa.
Just as his pen hovered over the agreement, his hand trembled, and a drop of ink fell from the tip of the pen onto the spot where his signature would be placed.
Graham recognized the familiar voice and looked towards the source of the disturbance.
ALL the guests turned their attention as well, their gazes fixated on Lucinda.
Donning a striking red dress, Lucinda walked with an air of authority, even without high heels.
Her dress billowed gracefully, coiling around her feet, as she exuded a sense of confidence and arrogance.
By her side stood Nathan, his expression steely.
Hand in hand, they made their way into the garden, capturing the attention of all the guests and media present.
Only then did the guests realize that Lucinda, who had always been favored within the family, had made a late entrance.
Whispers and murmurs spread among the guests, curiosity ignited by her sudden appearance.
