Inside the hall, the members of the Lewis family t

ily were all sitting upright, nerves ter

Tense.

Jaydon and Alita were seated facing south, with Samuel and Shania on their left. On their right were Kim and Annabel, while Marcelo sat opposite Jaydon. Other individuals found their respective seats.

The butler stood behind Jaydon, adhering to the instructions given by Mike before his passing. From now on, he would assist Jaydon in managing the family affairs.

Alita sat calmly, exuding an elegant and dignified aura.

However, no one knew she was feeling sorrowful. While others were focused on how much they could inherit, she was thinking about the brief conversation she had with Jaydon upstairs in the morning.

She was the first to wake up in the morning. Throughout the night, she had been contemplating the question of whether one should live for oneself or others.

Jaydon got up, and Alita sat at the dressing table, applying makeup to her face. She casually asked, “Jaydon, let me ask you a question. If 1 and Cecilia were pregnant at the same time, and you could only choose one of us to stay, whom would you choose?”

Ten minutes passed, and Jaydon had no answer, but Alita did.

The only thing that surprised her was that he didn’t immediately choose Cecilia. Alita knew very well that regardless of the truth or falsehood of Cecilia’s words or schemes, Cecilia was the one rooted in Jaydon’s heart. He couldn’t leave her. This was true. Alita had experienced too much despair, hope, and despair again. This endless cycle of life made her utterly disgusted.

At that moment, she finally understood that between her and Cecilia, one of them had to leave. The one who wasn’t loved from the beginning was the loser.

In that instant, Alita felt bitter deep inside.

In front of everyone, Otis opened the safe to reveal an exquisite rosewood box. Inside the box, there was a sealed document envelope with a wax seal.

Marcelo and his children, Shania with her daughter and son-in-law, all tensely sat up straight. Annabel also held Kim’s hand.

However, Kim’s eyes were cast toward Alita. He smirked inwardly, thinking that she must have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have returned after fleeing, and it was all for money. He was curious to see how much money she could get.

Meanwhile, Samuel remained indifferent, and Jaydon was still calm and composed.

In the predictions of the Lewis family members, Jaydon was the person they were least concerned about because he was the successor groomed by Mike. Therefore, they believed he would receive the largest share. Next in line was Samuel, the illegitimate son born to Mike and a famous actress. Then, there was Alita, the once humble girl who had risen to prominence. The fact that Mike allowed only her to accompany him in his final moments spoke volumes about her significance in his heart.

Otis opened the leather bag, took out a piece of paper, and marveled at how the entire legacy of the Lewis family, created by Mike, was now condensed into this thin sheet.

“Now, I will read the will Mr. Mike Lewis established during his lifetime. This will have legal effect, and its contents are as follows. 30% of the shares of the Lewis Group belong to his eldest grandson, Mr. Jaydon Lewis. 20% of the shares belong to

his fourth son, Mr. Samuel Lewis, and the remaining 50% belong to his eldest granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Alita Lewis All other individuals are allowed to live in the Lewis family estate for their entire lives, enjoying a life of wealth and prosperity. The ultimate ownership of the properties remains under the control of Mr. Jaydon Lewis. This concludes the entire content

of the will.

Upon hearing the will, the Lewis family erupted in commotion.

“Impossible! This will must be fake! Someone has tampered with it!” Marcelo roared as he stood up. He had worked tirelessly for the Lewis family for half a year, and now he found himself with nothing

“You’re right! We don’t believe it! Why should all the money go to outsiders? Uncle Marcelo, we must appeal, Valeria exclaimed angrily. That da*ned old man didn’t leave them a single penny. It was outrageous.

“We refuse to accept this will!”

Those who didn’t receive a share of the money started protesting loudly, turning the living room into chaos.

It was understandable for Mike to give 20% of the shares to Samuel, but how could he give 50% of the Lewis Group’s shares

to Alita?

This was beyond comprehension for the other members of the Lewis family. Even Jaydon was shocked. He thought his grandfather would give him the majority of the shares, considering he was the future head of the Lewis family. Little did he expect that the future head of the family would be his wife.

Subsequently. Jaydon immediately understood that this was his grandfather’s way of keeping him in check. If his wife had more money and power than him, would he still reject her? Would he leave her? As long as they, as a couple, remained together forever, they would always be the supreme rulers of the Lewis family.

Kim was also surprised at how much Alita received. It seemed that she had been diligently pleasing Mike over the years, and now she had finally realized her dream. With all the power and wealth, there was no way she would leave the Lewis family At this moment, she must be thrilled.

Alita was stunned for a long time. The 30% shares of Lewis Group, when converted into moncy, represented an astronomical figure. If she possessed it, she would become the richest woman, and Jaydon would be beneath her feet, let alone the other impoverished members of the Lewis family.

However, even with all

Il this wealth, what did it m

matter?

She chuckled coldly, turned her head to Jaydon, and sneered. “Now, what do you think?”

Jaydon looked at her seemingly triumphant face, his anger rising uncontrollably. “Now that you’re the boss, what more can I think? But don’t get too pleased too early. These 50% shares are not easy to obtain.”

“Jaydon, you must not let this woman take these shares. Grandpa may be confused, but you are not. Make her hand over the shares.

Jaydon, we cannot let a woman control our family. You must figure out a way to get back those 50% shares

Even Annabel, who usually pretended to be sweet and kind, couldn’t help but reveal her true nature. “Jaydon, everyone is right. You must take back those 50% shares. She is just an outsider. If she plays tricks on you one day, our family will be finished”

In the living room, the group of people relentlessly scolded Alita like a pack of barking dogs. There was a strong impulse to kill her and be done with it. Otis sighed as he watched this scene The ugly side of human nature was fully exposed in the face of money a

y and interests.

Samuel remained the same from the beginning to the end, even after hearing the will. He gazed at Alita, knowing that she wasn’t truly happy.

Jaydon sat there with a stern expression, unmoving like a statue,

Alita burst into laughter at the sight of the ugly faces of the Lewis family. It was just too amusing.

Seeing her laugh like this, the others fell silent.

Jaydon frowned and looked at her coldly. “There’s no need to be so arrogant.”

“Why shouldn’t I be pleased? The power is in my hands. You burch are just barking like dogs. I can dismiss each one of you from the company anytime I want. Jaydon, I can kick you out of the CEO position. All of you act high and mighty, but you will still have to beg for mercy ultimately,” Alita said with a cold gaze, her eyes revealing arrogance.

Her heart was cold and icy, and even with a hundredfold wealth and glory, she would rather stand in the sunlight with nothing. This was not a place for her to stay.

No one dared to speak again in the living room. Her strong statement made those who thought they could rely on Jaydon for a turnaround feel uneasy.

Jaydon’s face became more ruthless. This woman’s greed for money disgusted him.

Alita gazed into Jaydon’s eyes, imprinting his current hatred and ruthlessness towards her into her heart. Suddenly, she- smiled gently. “Jaydon, do you want to get my 50% share? It’s possible, as long as you promise me one condition.”

Her words astonished everyone. She was actually willing to give it up. Was there some kind of trick behind this?

“What condition?” Jaydon wondered if it was something related to Cecilia, maybe a condition to never meet Cecilia again.

“Allow me to sever ties with the Lewis family!” Alita said softly but firmly, her eyes determined.

Everyone in the living room was dumbfounded. They thought they heard it wrong. The butler, Ous, and Kim were all shocked. Severing ties meant she wanted to give up everything.

Jaydon was stunned, unable to find words. His heart felt like it had been ruthlessly pierced. “You… What did you say?”

“Don’t understand? Well, let me make it clearer. I’m offering my 50% share in exchange for my freedom. If you want th money, agree to a divorce. Mr. Pratt is here. If you agree, we can proceed with the transfer immediately. I’m giving you minutes to consider,” Alita said resolutely and calmly. Her heart had long been hollowed out by him. Now, she didn’t wa anything and only wanted to leave.

“Mrs. Alita, you can’t do this. Mr. Mike would not want this.” The butler never expected that Mike’s method used to bind A and Jaydon together would become a bargaining chip for their separation.

“I

will apologize to him myself!” Alita’s attitude was resolute. She couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Jaydon looked at her, his heart in agonizing pain. “Is this how much you want to leave me?”

“I do. I want it badly and even dream about it. Jaydon, this is also a good opportunity for you. You’ll have both money and the woman you love. Let everything go back to the beginning. There are still 3 minutes? Alita stared at him coldly.

To choose between power and her, in the eyes of others, it seemed like an easy decision. But at this moment, Jaydon felt nothing but partie.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Jaydon, quickly agree to her.”

Jaydon, don’t hesitate anymore. Take this opportunity to get rid of her and marry Cecilia.

Jaydon, stop thinking. There are only two minutes left.”

Jaydon’s ears were surrounded by the clamor of advice from all sides. He felt an unbearable pain in his heart. He realized that he didn’t want to lose Alita. Even when faced with the option of exchanging 50% of her shares, he couldn’t make a decision.

Alita sadly smiled. “I thought you could decide immediately. I didn’t expect to hold my ground against the 50% for so long”

She looked at Otis and said, “Please help me draft the stock transfer agreement as soon as possible.”
