âI have brought Bruno here.
My son had made a will before he passed away.
Now that everyone is present, it can be officially announced,â
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!
âAs it is his will, and I am no longer a member of the Roberts family, I donât see any point in sitting here and listening.
Please proceed while Iâll excuse myself.
â
As Lucinda stood up, Amanda stopped her and said firmly, âPlease sit down.
My son mentioned you in his will.
You have to be present here.
â
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, âLetâs begin.
â
Bruno, nodding in agreement, opened the kraft paper bag and took out the will in front of the three people.
âTo deal with the distribution of my personal property after my death, I, Nathaniel Roberts, hereby make this will,â Bruno announced.
Hearing the first few words of the will, Lucindaâs heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.
She clenched her fists and listened quietly as the will was read.
Amandaâs eyes also filled with tears, and Enochâs expression took on a mournful cast.
Amidst the heavy atmosphere, Bruno proceeded to announce, âAs 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 herâ¦â
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.
âWhat?! I strongly disagree!â he exclaimed.
Enochâs expression turned sour as he objected in a deep voice.
âI have no objection to Nathanielâs desire to give all his houses to his ex-wife, but how can he casually give 45% of the Roberts Groupâs shares to an outsider? The Roberts Group is the result of my fatherâs lifelong efforts.
Nathaniel is being disloyal to him!
Utterly ungrateful!â 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 companyâs shares.
It would be challenging for Enoch to remove her from the company in the future.
