Gordon stood at the door, beaming as he congratulated her, “Congratulations, Ms. Simmons. You’re incredibly fortunate to have given birth to a pair of twins.”
“Thank you,” Lucinda replied politely, cutting to the chase.
“Gordon, I sense there’s a reason for your visit. What’s it about?”

Without wasting any time, he explained, “It’s concerning the inheritance rights of your babies. Ms. Simmons, which one of them will inherit the Simmons Group?”
Perplexed, Lucinda inquired.
“What do you mean?”
“Before your father’s death, he made it clear that only the lady of the Simmons family could inherit the company. Now that you’ve given birth to a boy and a girl, have you thought about putting your daughter in charge?” Gordon asked.
Lucinda grasped his point.
“So you’re here to encourage me to designate an heir. But Destinee is still so young. Wouldn’t it be too early to decide on that?”
Gordon smiled reassuringly.
“The reason for my urgency is that her registration is close. If you intend for your daughter to be the heiress of the Simmons Group, she must not carry the surname ‘Payne’
Lucinda frowned as she heard Gordon’s suggestion.
“You want Destinee to take my surname?”
Destinee Simmons…
It wasn’t entirely impossible, but it could be complicated.
She had made a promise to all the Payne family members that after the babies were born, she would divide the shares of the Payne Group, given by Nathan, equally between them.
If Destinee changed her surname to Simmons, it might cause another commotion within the Payne family.
“I’ll discuss it with Nathan,” Lucinda said firmly.
Gordon nodded with a smile.
“Of course. I was just offering my advice for the benefit of the Simmons Group. Ultimately, the decision is yours.”
“Very well. I need some rest now. You may see yourself out.”
“Take care.”
Once Gordon left, Lucinda looked down at Destinee in her arms.
The baby had just woken up and was blinking sleepily at her.
