Chapter 696

"He isn't that easily fooled, but it depends on who's fooling him!" Bianca said sarcastically.

"You-" Sarah wanted to curse at her, but Anne interrupted her.

"I won't give you anything.”

Dorothy and Bianca's faces twisted in anger as they itched to tear Anne's face apart. Bianca refused

to give up and since she could only rely on Anthony, she trusted that he would side with her.

"Anthony, Anne and her mom are clearly trying to take over my inheritance. They probably plotted

this from before. My mom is the wife and Sarah is nothing but a homewrecker. How could the legal

wife lose to the homewrecker?" Bianca said.

Anne instinctively glanced at Anthony, as the conflicts between wives and homewreckers had always

been the source of drama around them, especially because Anthony's own mother died because of

a homewrecker.

Bianca knew Anthony well enough to know what to say to provoke him.

Anthony remained expressionless as the tension raised inside the room to the point where it

became harder to breath by the second.

Anne lowered her gaze helplessly, fearing that the will before them would ultimately mean nothing...

"You should respect your dad's wishes,” Anthony said shortly after.

Stunned, Bianca gaped at him in disbelief. "Anthony, but...something is definitely wrong! I'm

objecting to this because something is wrong! My dad couldn't possibly decide to give everything

he owns to an outsider!"

"Mr. Shahl here has been clear and I trust that Mr. Faye has his reasons in doing so.” Anthony stared

at Anne while consoling Bianca, "I will look into this. If something shady happened, I can still make

them return everything to you.”

Everyone in the room understood that even if Anne inherited Nigel's wealth through his will, if there

was an issue, she would merely be someone who temporarily held onto the inheritance for a period

of time.

Anne and Sarah had not expected Anthony to say such a thing, as both of them thought that

Anthony would force them to sign another contract agreeing to give their inheritance to Dorothy

and Bianca.

Robert placed the will before Anne. "If there's no further issue, please sign here.”

Anne held the piece of paper in her hand and glanced through the words, her father's stamp and

signature, her eyes filling with tears. She could not understand why she had to accept something so

heavy that she felt as though she was suffocating.

Sarah held onto Anne's hands in consolation, feeling every bit as devastated as her daughter.

"Mr. Shahl, did Dad not tell you anything? Anything at all?" Anne held her tears back and asked.

Robert thought about it and said, "Mr. Faye simply sighed and said that after working so hard all his

life, he ended with nothing and his life has been meaningless. He said that he owed no one but you

and your mother. I guess that's why he left you with most of his money. As for why he was in a hurry

to write his will, I'm guessing that has something to do with the guilt he felt for you. He couldn't

give you anything, so all he could do was leave you with the company that he had devoted his life

to."

Tears scrolled down Anne's cheeks and fell onto the paper. "Why would he feel guilty? I didn't need

that..."

Sarah wiped away her tears. "I told him before that I forgive him, that it's fine. Why would he say

such a thing?"

Dorothy and Bianca stared daggers at them.
