Chapter 141

Robert took Yulia off the stage without even a pause as they passed by Winona as if she were a stranger. Victor was a little reluctant to follow Robert when he saw Winona in tears, but he had no choice but to do so given the situation.

After they left, the venue fell silent, with no one daring to speak At that moment, Zachary in a dark suit walked to the center of the round stage and picked up the microphone. He pursed his lips, his face somewhat stern, but his eyes held a trace of relief that others couldn’t understand. “Ladies and gentlemen, 1 have another announcement to make. I have decided to give my daughter Yvette all of my shares in Chambers Group in addition to my money, stocks, real estate, and antique collections. I have executed the necessary documents. From today on, Yvette is the sole heir to my assets.”

Everyone was shocked to hear this statement and immediately thought, ‘Does Zachary mean to leave all his assets to Yvette?

How is it possible for this to happen? There has never been anything like this. No matter how much the daughter is loved, it is assumed in the world of the we that the property must be left to the son. Nobody would allow the daughter to take over the company. Is Zachary cras addition, he has a son. How could he make such a ridiculous decision?”

Only Yvette, sitting lazily in her seat, showed no surprise at all. Her eyes were deep and bright, sparkling with interest.

With one leg crossed over the other, her slender fingertips lightly tapped the rim of her cup, wondering if her lousy father had found out something.

The Chambers family’s petty cash was of little concern to Jeremiah. He was the owner of numerous powerful companies, all of which were greater than Chambers Group; Yvette could have any of them if she so desired, No matter what was happening on stage, in the corner of the garden, Yvette and Jeremiah were as carefree as if they were in a paradise, enjoying themselves.

Simon and Wyatt had seen a lot of ups and downs in life, so they were just slightly surprised before they let it go.

Nellie looked at Zachary in disbelief and paused in place.

Zeke appeared from somewhere and rushed onto the stage, shouting at Zachary without any regard, Dad, have you lost your mind? Did someone threaten you or something? Are you suffering from dementia? How could you make such a decision! I’m your son, the legitimate heir of the Chambers family. How could you leave all the shares of the Chambers family to Yvette just because she’s Cyanbird?”

Zachary narrowed his eyes with an evident cold look inside when he glanced at Zeke, who was questioning him. “You have no business criticizing my choices, and I don’t need your input. Leave the stage now.

Zeke stood his ground, not understanding how things could have gone so awry in just a few hours. Yvette had suddenly become someone who was out of their reach, and what he couldn’t accept even more was Zachary’s decision to leave all his assets to Yvette. Zeke looked at Zachary fiercely as if he were his enemy.

Everyone else didn’t dare to gossip much, they could only quietly watch from the audience, occasionally whispering to each other.

Zeke thought about when he couldn’t stop it, but Nellie could. According to the law, Nellie had the right to inherit half of Zachary’s estate.

Zeke pulled the pale–faced Nellie to Zachary. “Mom, Dad has lost his mind; you have to say something. Hurry up. You also own half of this family’s property. Do you want to give it to Yvette too? What about Winona and me? We get nothing”

Nellie moved her lips but couldn’t speak, looking at Zachary with deep affection.

Zeke watched as Nellie stared at Zachary without saying a word, and he was filled with anxiety. He couldn’t understand why she acted this way at that critical moment. Zeke wanted to get Winona to support him, but seeing her dazed expression, he knew she wouldn’t be of any help.

As he was about to say something more. Zachary picked up the microphone again and said to everyone, “Not only that, but today I also want to ask you all to bear witness. I have decided to end my marriage with Nellie. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways and never see each other again.”

After saying this, he turned to Nellie, his face incredibly calm. “I’ve already prepared the divorce agreement. It will be delivered to the Smith family later.”

Looking at Zeke, Zachary felt disgusted just by glancing at him, and his voice was even colder as he said, “Regarding the property dispute, your mother personally signed a waiver of her claim to any marital property when she married into my family to demonstrate her sincerity to my father. So Nellie has no connection to the Chambers family’s wealth. I can give it to whoever I want”

Zeke couldn’t believe his mother would sign such an unfair agreement. With these words, he lost his last bit of leverage. But seeing Yvette effortlessly gain control of the Chambers fahily’s assets so easily, he was unwilling Zachary’s words made him sound! announcing the divorce in front of i do.

artless scoundrel, leaving all the property to his ex–wife’s daughter and without giving Nellie any respect. This was the kind of thing only a jerk could Among the audience, Winona sneered inwardly, Dad must have found out my mother’s infidelity. This affects me and Zeke too, leaving us with nothing Nellie was trembling as she pointed at Zachary, “Honey, I’ve been married to you for twenty years. Even if I haven’t been a great help. I’ve certainly endured a lot. How can you treat me this way? If you want to leave the property to Yvette, then do I won’t argue with it. Please don’t abandon me. I’m begging you.” Nellie’s words were as humble as they could be, but Zachary’s face showed no sign of being moved. If he hadn’t known about the vicious things Nellie had done, perhaps he wouldn’t have chosen such a decisive way to end their relationship. He had also thought about parting on good terms. But he felt like he could kill Nellie, so he wouldn’t soften his heart because of these few words.

Zachary walked over to Nellie, and under her pleading and hopeful gaze, he slowly lowered his head and let out a soft laugh. In a voice only the two of them could hear, he said, “Zeke and Winona, they’re not my children, are they? You drugged me back then. Do you think I wouldn’t have any suspicions after all these years about why I’d wake up in bed with you for no reason? Let me guess, whose kids are they? Some guy named Blake? Or maybe your college professor? Oh, it can’t be the male model you’ve supported for the past six months, right? And you probably don’t know that I’ve never really touched you all these years.

Every time, it was just you dreaming in bed. Does it sound familiar? That’s right, you used that hallucinogen on me back then, didn’t you? You shouldn’t be so surprised, should you? Or are you still wondering where the guys sent by Blake to sneak in and kidnap Yvette have gone? They’re already at the police station, and so is your Blake, by the way.”
