The butler looked at the group and said in a cold voice, "Before Madam Mathilda left, she merely said to let Mr.

Tory preside over family affairs. The lawyer will read hers and Mr. Harold's wills." "Let him preside?" Seline

seemed dissatisfied. "Why is Grandma letting him preside? Which one of her children isn't more legitimate than

him? Does she think that the Zimmersons aren't embarrassed enough?"

Everyone else agreed with what she said and echoed to express their disapproval.

The butler seemed to have grown accustomed to such a situation and said with great calmness, "I know

everybody thinks that Mr. Tory isn't fit to preside over

family matters, but this is Madam Mathilda's orders. Now that she's gone, the Zimmersons' family affairs will be

left to Mr. Tory to handle. If anyone opposes or disagrees, you can leave the Zimmersons. You'll have nothing to

do with the Zimmersons from now on. If you choose to stay, you'll remain a Zimmerson and listen to Mr. Tory's

arrangements."

When he was done with his sentence, most of those who opposed him fell silent.

It was the sfor Seline. Although she refused to accept it, she chose to clam up and very reluctantly went

back to her grandmother's bedside to continue kneeling.

Compared to leaving the Zimmerson family, having Tory preside over family affairs did not seem that hard to

accept now.

The lawyer cin no tat all. Everyone looked expectantly at him, hoping to hear their names in the will.

The lawyer was a private practitioner working for the Zimmersons. When he cin, he first paid his respects to

Madam Mathilda by bowing to her. He then took out a will from his briefcase. "My condolences to everyone.

People can't cback from the dead, and Madam Mathilda is considered to have lived to a ripe old age. She

has made all necessary arrangements and has no regrets anymore. Now, I'll read Mr. Harold's and Madam

Mathilda's wills."

The room that was filled with cries instantly fell silent.

The lawyer said, TH read Mr. Harold's will first." "My children, | know my days are numbered. To this date, under

my power, the Zimmerson family is considered a success. It began and will end on a good note. Before | leave, |

have made all necessary arrangements to keep the Zimmersons on track and prevent all of you from disgracing

the Zimmersons in front of the media."

His words contained all his love and responsibility toward the Zimmersons. To him, the Zimmersons were

everything.

The lawyer continued, "For the sake of the future development of the Zimmersons, and after careful thought, I've

decided to elect Tory Zimmerson as the next head of the family. He'll manage the Zimmerson family as well as

all of the Zimmersons' enterprises. | know sof you will say that I'm biased, but this is for the sake of the

family's interests. You must comply."

What followed was the distribution of sminor properties to the other children.

Everyone wore varying expressions after hearing that.

Seline looked at Tory with a defiant and resentful expression.

However, Mr. Harold had specifically emphasized in the will that anyone who opposed could leave the

Zimmerson family, never to receive the Zimmersons' protection again.

Mr. Harold knew that swould be dissatisfied with Tory and perhaps even threaten him, which was why he

added such a statement.

These people were not going to say anything on the surface, but it was hard to tell if they would try something

else in private.

Tory's life would be filled with challenges from now on.

Madam Grant had industries of her own that did not belong to the Zimmersons, but they were all handed over to

Tory as well. Facing the jealous and resentful gazes from everybody, there was no expression on Tory's face.

After paying our respects to Madam Mathilda, Theo and I planned to leave.

When we got to the first floor, Tory caught up to us.

"Let's have a chat, Mr. Grant."

He did not seem as composed after leaving Madam Mathilda's room.

It was obvious how much the two elders doted on him.

Now that the two elders were gone, how could he not be in grief?

Theo looked at him and said in a calm tone, "If you have something to say, then do it next time, Mr. Zimmerson. «

You have more important things to do now."
