Chapter 131
When Shawn‘s finger reached the side of her cheek, Natalie subconsciously took a step back and
mumbled, “Shawn, what are you doing?”
Realizing that he had gone overboard, he retracted his hand immediately, staring at Natalie
apologetically.
“I‘m sorry. I did not ask for your permission and tried to remove your mask...
“This mask is indeed hideous. But, for now, I cannot remove it and be myself.”
“I know.”
Aaron, the butler from before, spotted the pair lingering at the lounge entrance and approached them.
“Mr. Shawn and Ms. Nichols, Mr. Corden has arrived. Old Mr. Watsons and the other family members
are all waiting for you.”
He opened the door for Shawn to enter the room, followed by Natalie.
However, as soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Max accompanied by his two sons, Chris
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand Charlie, along with Chris and Charlie‘s own wives.
Max saw Natalie and grinned from ear to ear.
However, the two sons and their wives seemed gloomy all of a sudden.
O
“Dad, I thought you were announcing your inheritance distribution today. What did you invite this girl
over for?”
“He‘s right! The people gathered here belong to the Watsons family. What‘s an outsider like her doing
here?”
Although the two brothers were always at each other‘s throats, they would unanimously join forces if it
came to dealing with outsiders.
“I invited Natalie over because I included her portion into the distribution of my inheritance,” Max
explained as he waved around his walking stick. “Corden, please read the notarized will to them.”
Corden took out the document and started reading.
“Upon the passing of Max Watsons, ninety–five percent of the equities under his name will be inherited
by Shawn Watsons.”
“The mansion under his name will be evenly distributed to Chris Watsons and Charlie Watsons.”
“The remaining five percent of the equities and his antique collections will be inherited by Natalie
Nichols.”
The two younger Watsons couples were already shocked by the first part of the will. After Natalie‘s part
was read, they sprung up from the sofa, unable to contain their anger.
“Dad, I am your son! I didn‘t even get a single portion of your shares! Why did you give your shares to
her instead? She doesn‘t deserve them!”
“Remember, dad, blood is thicker than water! Why would you distribute your shares to an outsider
instead of your own children?”
Max‘s daughters–in–law were both also wearing matching expressions of panic and confusion.
The old man stomped his walking stick heavily on the ground, exclaiming, “Both of you should be
grateful that I decided to give you anything at all! After all, the four of you fed me with a different kind of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpoison each!
“You should feel fortunate that I did not send you directly to jail out of respect for your mother. Yet, you
dare demand more from me? Would you prefer actually being sent to prison to repent for your sins?”
His words took everyone by surprise.
“Natalie saved my life, and I am giving her what she rightfully deserves. And since Corden is here with
us, I will immediately disown whoever dares to question the content of my will.”
At that moment, Chris and Charlie finally swallowed their pride and kept their mouth shut. They knew
that it would not be out of character for Max to act on his words and actually send them to jail.
After the meeting, Max asked Natalie to stay behind to talk to him.
“Natalie, do you mind being given so little of my inheritance?”
She shook her head. “I saved you to return a favor on Mr. Jones‘ behalf. You really shouldn‘t have
given me the shares; it‘s much too vast of an amount for a normal person like me...”
“It is indeed a vast amount for a normal person. However...” Max‘s eyes glittered with confidence. “I
have seen various types of people throughout my life, and you... You are not a normal person.
“I hope that you can become my granddaughter–in–law and give Shawn your full support, but I can tell
that you are not interested in my grandson. The five percent shares I gave you serve as an investment
in you, and as a sort of plea that you will save the Watsons family once more in the future.”
