I was stunned, watching Ewan approached from afar.
Amidst the drastic changes in the Lincoln family, it signaled potential shifts among the Lincoln family members.
It appeared Group.
that those present today were interested in the family assets and shares in the Lincoln âMrs. Lincoln, things are really tough for the Lincoln family at the moment. Youâve probably noticed.
Something bad has happened to both Mr. Lincoln Senior and Mr. James.
âCurrently, Mr. Steven is the only scion of the Lincoln family, along with the child youâre carrying,â
Ewan explained, his words laden with meaning.
I looked at my growing belly. Itâs true⦠whoever bore the crown must beared its weight.
The Lincoln familyâs situation was complex, and I was getting caught in it.
Rachel stood by the doorway. She watched the crowd gathering and asked, âNeed a hand?â
1 shook my head. âThis is the Lincoln family business, you shouldnât get involved. Iâll have the driver take you home.â
Rachel nodded. Indeed, she shouldnât get involved in this matter.
After sending Rachel off, I followed Ewan into the living room.
The room was filled with people, headed by Martin Lincoln, Ignatiusâ cousin.
Although it was a family business, the Lincoln Group was primarily established by Ignatius alone.
Initially, he welcomed the Lincoln family members into the company, hoping to help them out. Little did he know, it turned out to be a recipe for trouble.
Now that Ignatius had a stroke, everyone was eager to claim his wealth.
âThis is Mr. Martin.â Ewan introduced me with respect.
I nodded respectfully. âMr. Martin.â
Martin snorted.
I knew he didnât regard me highly.
âMr. Martin, sheâs the eldest granddaughterâinâlaw introduced by Mr. Ignatius at the banquet, Ms.
Larson,â Ewan introduced me.
Martin remained quiet. However, a roughâlooking man beside him, spoke up, âHuh⦠the eldest son and grandson of Mr. Ignatius died in a car accident. Whatâs the deal with this eldest granddaughterâ
in -law?â
âMr. Andy got married at the age of 20 in Montavia. His wife, Alice Bowman, is of mixedârace, with Montavia nationality and Chinese descent.
âMr. Steven should rightfully be the eldest grandson,â Ewan explained in a low tone.
âHuh⦠A lunatic kept hidden by Mr. Ignatius, the biggest stain on the Lincoln family. Can a marriage registered in Montavia even be valid?
âMr. Hugo has no heir, and something bad happened to both Mr. Ignatius and Mr. James. The Lincoln familyâs assets must not be transferred to others!
âYou, a mere assistant, think you can bring in an outsider and snatch away everything that belongs to our Lincoln family?â The man slammed the table forcefully, glaring at me fiercely.
If it were before I was reincarnated, I might have been afraid of him. Unfortunately, he hadnât seen as much as I had.
âWhether Mr. Steven is the legitimate scion of the Lincoln family, the law determines.
âHe is Mr. Ignatiusâ grandson, Mr. Andyâs eldest son, my legal husband, and the father of the child that Iâm carrying!â I stared coldly at him.
âToday, if any of you came for Mr. Ignatiusâs health, I appreciate it. But if you came for the property, sorry! Mr. Moore, please see our guests out!â I pointed to the door, my voice low.
Martin laughed and clapped his hands. âIgnatius has considered everything.â
Martin gazed at my belly and smiled.
âThis child has just been conceived, right? You better protect him well and ensure a smooth birth,â
Martin threatened.
âAs for that lunaticâ¦âMartinâs eyes narrowed. âOur Lincoln familyâ¦â
âMr. Martin is an elder of the Lincoln family. Apart from Mr. Ignatius, you hold the most prestige.
âIs it appropriate for you, as an elder, to call him a lunatic? If this spreads, it will make our Lincoln family look bad,â I interrupted Martin.
I spoke again. âMr. Moore, please see our guests out!â
I was trying to maintain my aura, but I knew it wouldnât last long.
Martin would definitely go after my unborn child and Steven next.
The sudden incidents involving Ignatius and James in Montavia were definitely not simple.
The Lincoln familyâs fortune changed.
