“I have brought Bruno here. My son had made a will before he passed away. Now that everyone is present, it can be officially announced,”
Amanda declared.
Walking up to the crowd, Bruno the lawyer placed a sealed kraft paper bag on the desk.
Lucinda glanced at the sealed kraft paper bag that Bruno had placed on her desk.
Did Nathaniel make a will? She had no idea!
“As it is his will, and I am no longer a member of the Roberts family, I don’t see any point in sitting here and listening. Please proceed while I’ll excuse myself.”
As Lucinda stood up, Amanda stopped her and said firmly, “Please sit down. My son mentioned you in his will. You have to be present here.”
Lucinda was stunned to hear that Nathaniel had even mentioned her in his will.
As tears threatened to spill from her eyes, Lucinda struggled to keep her composure and settled back onto the sofa with a stoic expression.
Once Amanda saw that Lucinda had regained her composure, she turned to the lawyer behind her and said, “Let’s begin.”
Bruno, nodding in agreement, opened the kraft paper bag and took out the will in front of the three people.
“To deal with the distribution of my personal property after my death, I, Nathaniel Roberts, hereby make this will,” Bruno announced.
Hearing the first few words of the will, Lucinda’s heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.
She clenched her fists and listened quietly as the will was read.
Amanda’s eyes also filled with tears, and Enoch’s expression took on a mournful cast.
Amidst the heavy atmosphere, Bruno proceeded to announce, “As per my will, I hereby distribute all my personal property, shares, and other belongings. Seven of my houses and apartments shall be given to my ex-wife, Lucinda Ross. Furthermore, I possess 45% of the shares of the Roberts Group, which will also be transferred to her…”
Amanda wiped her tears with a tissue after Bruno finished reading.

Lucinda was heartbroken upon hearing this. Had Nathaniel given all his property to her? Was she the only person he cared about in the world? Did he not care about Amanda and Vivien at all?
Enoch erupted in anger on the spot.
“What?! I strongly disagree!” he exclaimed.
Enoch’s expression turned sour as he objected in a deep voice.
“I have no objection to Nathaniel’s desire to give all his houses to his ex-wife, but how can he casually give 45% of the Roberts Group’s shares to an outsider? The Roberts Group is the result of my father’s lifelong efforts. Nathaniel is being disloyal to him!
Utterly ungrateful!” Enoch spat out, his voice was full of venom.
If Nathaniel had indeed given 45% of the shares to Lucinda, she would hold 85% of the company’s shares. It would be challenging for Enoch to remove her from the company in the future.
