Chapter 520

Mr. Maskelyne was not only handsome, but also willing to spendmillions of dollars for Sylvia.

This ...

Those onlookers instantly felt so jealous of Sylvia.

They wished they could be as lucky as Sylvia to have a husband whowas willing to spend 500 million for them!

Clare looked at the loving couple in front of him with mixed feelings."Miss Andrews, Mr. Maskelyne, we engaged with each other a fewtimes, and I admire both of you."

He paused, "But ... Sorry, this is owned by my Hipps family and I haveto take it back and keep it safe.”

After saying that, he pulled out a red thread directly from his collar.The bottom of that red thread was a ruby pendant.

With slight force, he yanked the pendant off and put it in his palm.Surprisingly, when two rubies were placed side by side, they werealmost identical in terms of the size, or shape ...

Even the color of them, and the carved green leaf were the same!Anyone could see that they were a pair.

“This is my Hipps family stuff."

Clare sighed, "Back then my sister was lost, separated from the Hippsfamily, and we later got Ms. Watts back, and had a paternity test doneas well. But she never had the ruby with her."

Skyla's face became white as sheet after hearing Clare call her "Ms.Watts".

Damned Clare! How could he not show her any respect in a publicplace?

How could he address her in such an indifferent way?

Everyone in the room heard Clare's words clearly.

Skyla only felt her face was slapped hard by an invisible hand.

It was a painful slap.

She hated it so much that she couldn't wait to snatch the ruby thatrepresented the identity of the Hipps family.

But ... She didn't dare, and she couldn't.

Sylvia also stared in shock at the two rubies.

"Wouldn't Monica, the youngest daughter of the Evans family, be theyoung lady of the Hipps family?"

Suddenly, someone said it.

The atmosphere in the room was instantly tense, and everyone lookedat Sylvia suspiciously.

With a long face, the old Evans refuted, "Impossible! Monica is my owndaughter. How could she be from the Hipps family? She has that rubythat her mother gave her when she was alive. As for where her mothergot it from, after so many years, I have long forgotten.”

Sylvia was his granddaughter and would inherit his entire Evans family.No matter what, he couldn't let such an excellent granddaughterbecome a member of some other family.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he was, his bodyshaking, almost unable to stand.

The housekeeper hurried to hold him, "Mr. Evans, your health matters,take care!"

“I have to say, I have to announce this matter in front of everyone; if Idon't, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to say it again!"

The old Evans said, his words disjointed.

He held out his hand towards Sylvia, who was startled, then walkedtowards him and took his big, old hand.

“I ... declare that as of today, Sylvia will be my heir, inheriting all myproperties, all my possessions, and taking charge of the Evans family!"The old Evans said in an old voice, "In addition to the Evans mansionnow left to my three sons, the rest of the property in my name will bepassed on to Sylvia's name. All of you, please be a witness!""Grandpa! What are you talking about!" Tiffany shouted, “I'm yourgranddaughter too! Who are you to give Sylvia all your assets? Don'tforget she's an Andrew!"

"Dad, the company is usually managed by my husband. Will you give itto Sylvia too? How is that possible? Are you old and confused? DidSylvia ever take care of you? She doesn't even pay a visit to you."Neve was also furious. The old man was giving Sylvia all the familyproperty?

How ridiculous!

"My mind is made up and there is no way anyone can make me changemy mind.” The old Evans sneered and looked at mother and daughter,“You should be glad you still have a place to live. With what you twohave done today, it would be light punishment to throw you out of theEvans family!"

“No, it's not possible! My husband and my brothers-in-law would notagree!”

Neve tried to convince the old Evans, "When you were in the hospital,we took care of you every day. We are supposed to get some credit,but you give all the property to that woman. Why are you so cold andheartless?"

"When I was in the hospital, the one who took care of me the most wasthe nurse, and the one who operated on me was Sylvia! Can youunderstand the situation? Usually at home, we have maids to take careof us. Which one of you took care of me?"

The old Evans got angrier and simply did not bother to look at them.He was so angry that he would have fainted if the housekeeper hadn'theld him up.

He didn't bother to argue with Neve and Tiffany, since there was nopoint in doing so.

He turned to Sylvia in front of him, gently holding her hand, "Sylvia ... Iam sorry for your mother and you. If I hadn't kicked your mother out ofthe house that year, she wouldn't have. I should take all the blame!"When he thought of Monica, he felt a pang of sadness and sourness inhis heart.

"... Grandpa." Sylvia never called the old Evans that way, so she feltkind of awkward, "I do not lack of money, I have property in my name,quite a lot. So ... you should keep them for a restful retirement.”

She was shocked when she heard the old Evans’ decision. While in thehospital, the old Evans said she was an Evans family member.

She didn't feel anything at that time because she didn't have any closefeelings for the Evans.

Although she still felt out of place in the Evans family, she was shockedwhen the old Evans left her all his property.

She was kind of touched.

And she sighed silently.

She couldn't get her mother's relics, and she resented Tiffany, this fool,for stealing the ruby and selling it.

If Tiffany hadn't stolen it, maybe she would have been able to get itwithout any problems.

But ... Now that Clare had taken it away, she could only suppress theregret in her heart.

There was no use complaining.

This is how things are ... That's the way life is sometimes.

What you miss will eventually be missed, and what is yours willeventually be yours.

"Sylvia ... Without your mother, the Evans family would never have gotwhere it is today. In the future, no matter the companies of the Evansfamily or the reputation of Evans family, I leave it all to you. I believe inyour ability and will do better than your mother.”

After the old Evans finished, he looked eagerly at Sylvia, as if waitingfor Sylvia to take a stand.

Sylvia looked like she was in trouble, not wanting to take over theEvans family.

Yet just as she hesitated, suddenly the housekeeper exclaimed.

"Mr. Evans!"
