Chapter 1858 Calling Keith

Some of the remaining fixed assets were distributed to Ian. Although these fixed assets were not particularly

valuable, there were still a lot of them. Then, there was some working capital that was given to Leah and Sally. As

for Simon, there really was nothing.

Cindy smacked her lips and commented, “I don't know what Old Mr. Morgan was thinking at the last moment to

make such a decision.”

Ian didn’t care what Bryce thought as the man had already died, so it was meaningless to think about Bryce now.

He rolled over and embraced Cindy's waist as his face pressed against it. “I don't know whether the media has

caught wind of it yet. If there is a lot of media coverage, Leah may become a little out of control.”

The matter of the will would have been a big blow for Leah. If the media had reported more hype, no one knew

what she would do. If she had dared to rush toward to fight a lawyer today, it would not be unusual for her to cook

up something else. Shaking her head, Cindy raised her hand and stroked Ian's hair, saying, “It’s karma. She was so

arrogant before, and now this is her retribution.”

Therefore, it was always said that one should not be too unrelenting toward others as there was no certainty in life.

If one was too harsh toward others, there would be no way to reconcile in the future.

As she couldn't sleep now, she leaned on the bed. However, he felt a lot more peaceful when he hugged her, so he

fell asleep a short while later. She waited for him to fall asleep before lightly getting out of bed. She padded out of

the room and stood on the balcony for a while, then changed her shoes to head downstairs to have a walk in the

community.

Finally, she stopped by a bench where she took out her phone to call Hazel. Hazel quickly answered the phone, but

there were loud noises in the background—she was obviously playing cards with others.

Cindy took a deep breath and said, “If you're busy, forget it.”

She originally thought about her father because of Bryce's affairs and felt uncomfortable about it, so she wanted to

call her mother to talk for a while. As a result, the sound of Hazel playing cards at the end of the phone call killed all

her enthusiasm to the point where she even regretted calling Hazel.

At the other end of the line, Hazel grunted and said, “Then, I'll call you back in a bit.”

“No, I have nothing much to say anyway. You can continue with your game.” Cindy hung up the phone at once.

She wasn’t extremely disappointed, if she was being honest. Hazel had nothing to do at home and in most cases,

the woman merely played cards with others outside. Therefore, Cindy more or less expected it.

Cindy held the phone, hesitated for a while, and called Keith.

It took a long time for Keith to answer, but as soon as the call was connected, he asked, “Cindy, what's the matter?”

She didn't call him often. Even though the siblings had a good relationship, they didn't have much contact during

ordinary times. He had classes while Cindy had work, so they only contacted each other whenever they had

something important to say.

After turning to sit on the bench, she responded, “I have nothing to do, so I just called to ask how you are doing.”

He sighed. “I'm fine. I usually attend classes and occasionally work part-time. I'm doing fine. How about you? Are

you busy?”

Cindy was not busy as she was on a vacation some time ago. She also responded that she was living well here

before asking Keith if he had enough money on hand.

Ever since Keith went to university, most of his living expenses were paid by Cindy although the tuition fees were

funded by Hazel. Hazel would sometimes directly ask her for money, but she would transfer the amount to him

instead most of the time.

Although Cindy didn't like Hazel casting the responsibility of raising Keith on her, Hazel had also subsidized him a lot

in private. She was relatively clear in this regard—Hazel was Hazel, and Keith was Keith. She would never treat Keith

differently because of Hazel's attitude.
