Lionel Walker pushed his glasses up his nose. With a smile, he nodded. “Yes, that's right. I am indeed here to settle

Mr. Smith's will.”

“You got it right on the mark.” Natalie elbowed the man beside her gently.

With a smirk, he replied, “Well, he's dead. The only reason he would arrange for a lawyer before death is to allocate

his assets. What else could it be?”

“So, tell me then. How is he planning to split his inheritance?” Natalie asked as she poured Lionel some tea.

Lionel took out a stack of documents from his briefcase. “This is the entirety of Mr. Smith's assets. There are seven

houses, two villas, six shophouses, several valuable antiques, and some cash. Please, take a look.”

Hearing the entirety of his wealth, Natalie was very surprised. “It seems like he kept more riches than I thought

even after Smith Group went bankrupt.”

“It's nothing unusual. He bought most of those before the company went out of business. Plus, that only happened

because of my pressure. In terms of cash flow, he was still doing well. Hence, it's not surprising that he still has a

fair amount of assets to leave behind,” Shane explained as he flipped through the charts.

If Harrison had gone bankrupt in his finances, then all these assets would have long been seized by the bank.

“Mr. Walker, who is he planning on giving all these to?” Natalie asked as she set down the real estate documents.

Jared looked up at Lionel as well.

“Mr. Smith wants to give five houses to Mr. Jared, and two to you, Mrs. Thompson. Additionally, each of you will get

one villa. As for the antiques, seventy percent of it will be allocated to Mr. Jared, while the remaining thirty percent

goes to you. Of course, please don't think that Mr. Smith is biased toward Mr. Jared. He has his reasons for doing

so.”

“What is the reason?” Hearing the allocation, Natalie was not upset. In fact, Jared was the one who felt dissatisfied.

In his heart, he was on equal grounds with his sister.

Therefore, the inheritance should have been split between them equally.

“Enough, Jared. Don't get mad. Let's just hear what Mr. Walker has to say for now.” Natalie patted him on the

shoulder. She found it quite comical, but at the same time, she was touched.

How could she not be when her brother was so caring toward her?

At this moment, Shane shot a glance toward Natalie.

Jared was getting so much more of the inheritance, but he was not happy about it. On the contrary, he wanted to

share it evenly with his sister.

It was rare to have a brother like that.

Shane knew that no matter poor or rich, or how close siblings were, when it came to inheritance, none of it

mattered.

Even if they did not fight, the sibling that got more out of the inheritance would never want to share it with the

others. After all, who would want to share something that could benefit them?

Hence, Jared's actions really made Shane think more highly of him.

“Mr. Smith said that since Mrs. Thompson already has her own family, and that she married rich, she has no reason

to worry about her future. On the other hand, Mr. Jared is different. His physical health is weak and he is still a

bachelor. Hence, Mr. Smith insisted on allocating more to Mr. Jared. Please, I hope you take no offense to the

matter, Mrs. Thompson.” Lionel tried his best to advocate for Harrison's wishes.

“I'm not offended at all. He is perfectly right in doing so. However, I don't need my share of the inheritance. I would

like to give it all to Jared.” As she spoke, she pushed the documents on the table over to Jared.

He was stunned. “Nat, you don't want any of it?”

“She won't need it.” Before Natalie could answer, Shane wrapped his arm around her waist and answered for her.

“I can provide her with anything her heart desires. None of this matters to me.”

Shane looked down at the documents in disdain.

Meanwhile, Jared pursed his lips, seemingly to be deep in thought.

Hmm... I can't argue with that logic. Shane is rich, so it's not surprising that he doesn't see the point of receiving the

inheritance.

However...

“Nat, Harrison wanted you to have all this. I can't take it away from you. I really hope you will just accept it. If not,

then at least pass it on to Sharon and Connor. As their unofficial grandfather, it can be his gift to them,” Jared said

solemnly.
