Chapter 4 Mysterious Will
At the table, everyone had their own thoughts and the atmosphere was subtle. After the meal, in order to avoid falling into the calculations of others again, Laura quickly packed up and resolutely left home.
Before leaving, Marcus sat on the sofa, his eyes burning with anger. "If you step out of this door, don't even think about coming back!" He never expected that his daughter, who had obeyed him for the past two months, would be so rebellious today, and his chest was heaving violently. However, he sneered in his heart. What kind of waves could a daughter who grew up in the countryside make? As long as her financial resources were cut off, she would be arrogant for a long time. In the end, she would have to surrender and raise funds for him.
Rose on the side kept calming her father, but she glanced at the door where Laura disappeared from the corner of her eyes, and a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes. In fact, the idea of letting Laura sleep with him to raise funds was planned by her. She had just mentioned it casually in front of her father, but she didn't expect her father to actually adopt it, which just fulfilled her wish. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the woman who has a face very similar to her dead mother. She is too outstanding, even without makeup, she is enough to outshine the others.
Moreover , in the marriage contract between Lowe family and Smith family , the other party clearly disliked Laura as the daughter of a mistress. Even though Laura came back from the countryside, they still favored her. Now, even though she and Ulysses are in love and the rice has been cooked, the elders of the other party still obstruct the marriage in every possible way. Under the guidance of her mother, she had the idea of destroying Laura first. Last night, if that woman had not escaped by chance, her short video would have spread all over the Internet. By then, Lowe family will only have her daughter to show off, and Smith family will naturally not be so picky about marriage.
…
Laura did not take Marcus 's threats seriously. In the past two months, she had only been submissive out of the need to maintain family ties. However, these people treated her as a soft persimmon and repeatedly pressed her.
After leaving home, Laura went to a cafe and sat down by the window. Soon, a man in a suit carrying a briefcase walked in.
"Uncle Benjamin." Laura stood up and greeted him.
The man in the suit was named Benjamin, a lawyer in his 40s. Before his grandfather passed away, he mentioned that if there were any issues regarding shares, he could be consulted. Laura had already explained her purpose on the phone.
After the two sat down, Lawyer Jiang took out the previously signed agreement. "This is the will your mother drafted that year."
Laura took the will and read it carefully. Lawyer Jiang explained, "According to your mother's will, you must be over 20 years old and married before you can inherit 70% of the shares of Lowe Family Group."
Laura asked in confusion: "Why must I get married?"
Lawyer Jiang also frowned and said doubtfully, "Your mother didn't elaborate at the time. She just said it was just in case."
Laura lowered her head again and read the will carefully word by word. Half an hour later, Lawyer Jiang stood up and said goodbye. Laura sat alone by the window, staring through the glass at the big words " Smith Family Group" shining in the sun across the street , and fell into deep thought.
Why did my mother set these two conditions in the will? Also, my mother was only 30 years old when she died. How could she make a will in advance when she was so young? The more Laura thought about it, the more she felt that things were not simple. She secretly vowed to find out the truth of the year. And the current priority is to take back the shares that belong to her.
Now, she knew the contents of the will, but the two conditions made her feel awkward. Age was not a big deal, after all, she would be twenty next month. But the marriage condition...
