Gordon stood at the door, beaming as he congratulated her, âCongratulations, Ms.
Simmons.
Youâre incredibly fortunate to have given birth to a pair of twins.
â
âThank you,â Lucinda replied politely, cutting to the chase.
âGordon, I sense thereâs a reason for your visit.
Whatâs it about?â
Without wasting any time, he explained, âItâs concerning the inheritance rights of your babies.
Ms.
Simmons, which one of them will inherit the Simmons Group?â
Perplexed, Lucinda inquired.
âWhat do you mean?â
âBefore your fatherâs death, he made it clear that only the lady of the Simmons family could inherit the company.
Now that youâve given birth to a boy and a girl, have you thought about putting your daughter in charge?â Gordon asked.
Lucinda grasped his point.
âSo youâre here to encourage me to designate an heir.
But Destinee is still so young.
Wouldnât it be too early to decide on that?â
Gordon smiled reassuringly.
âThe 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 âPayneâ
Lucinda frowned as she heard Gordonâs suggestion.
âYou want Destinee to take my surname?â
Destinee Simmonsâ¦
It wasnât 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.
âIâll discuss it with Nathan,â Lucinda said firmly.
Gordon nodded with a smile.
âOf course.
I was just offering my advice for the benefit of the Simmons Group.
Ultimately, the decision is yours.
â
âVery well.
I need some rest now.
You may see yourself out.
â
âTake care.
â
Once Gordon left, Lucinda looked down at Destinee in her arms.
The baby had just woken up and was blinking sleepily at her.
