Chapter 165 Entrustment

There was an immediate commotion in the meeting room.

"This is impossible! Where did Stacy's daughter come from? She's already dead!" Lien stood up, pointing at the lawyer. "Don't lie about the will! I can sue you!"

"Mrs. Lien Stella, please calm down. Sir William recorded a video under the witness of a notary to avoid complications."

The lawyer raised his hand.

Immediately, his assistant projected the video.

After a brief flicker, a scene appeared on the screen.

Herman lay on a sickbed, appearing withered. However, he looked better than he was about to pass away.

The corner of the video displayed the time.

It was recorded half a year ago.

The earlier content was not disputable.

But the last part...

"The last portion, as well as all my real estate, I want to leave to the daughter of my adopted daughter, Stacy."

"This is impossible!"

Lien shouted loudly.

Herman's words continued.

"Due to Stacy's passing, I lost contact with my granddaughter. So, I entrusted my dear friend, Rose, to replace her for me."

Rose covered her mouth, tears welling up.

She had no idea that Stacy had a child.

Nor did she know that Herman considered her a dear friend.

"It's fake! It's all fake!" Lien still refused to accept the fact.

Herman took a moment to catch his breath.

Then he looked into the camera and continued, "My ashes should also be handed over to Rose. Rose, bring me home."

"Okay... okay..." Rose sobbed, her voice trembling.

Jaxson was worried.

Jaxson suddenly felt that he shouldn't let Athena go. Who would comfort Rose now?

"Mom..." Cato was also confused.

Cato was confused by this absurd will. His wife had been swapped as a baby and had endured so much hardship, yet her father-in-law hadn't left her a single cent! Besides, Cato didn't expect that Stacy was already dead.

Cato was also surprised that Lien appeared to have known about it all along.

Rose raised her hand to stop her son from approaching.

"Mr. Gerard Dawson, did Herman leave any other words?" Rose asked the lawyer.

Gerard sighed, "He didn't refuse to tell you where Stacy is. He genuinely didn't know."

"Let's talk in private," she said, gesturing for them to step aside.

Gerard glanced at Lien and Cato.

"Why can't you talk here?" Lien asked loudly.

She was on the verge of going insane from anger.

Why!

Why did her father still only think about Stacy until the end?

Everything that Stacy had should have belonged to her.

Her husband, too!

She tried to get back what was rightfully hers, but Stacy refused. So what if she used some means?

Lien thought that she had been considerate of Stacy.

After all, she didn't randomly replace a man to hook up with Stacy. She found Ricky, who liked Stacy!

Lien didn't know why her father would treat her so heartlessly.

"Sir William was concerned that if someone overheard sensitive information and discovered the whereabouts of Stacy's daughter before Madam Stella did, it could put that girl in potential danger," Gerard stated frankly.

Gerard was Ricky's friend.

He knew everything about what had happened in the past.

Gerard deeply despised Lien, this poisonous woman.

Hearing his words, Lien froze.

Gerard and Rose left the conference room.

"As for Natasha's background, Sir William only knew the outline. Her biological parents were involved in highly confidential work when they were young. After the child was born, they entrusted her to distant relatives to take care of her. But due to their negligence, the child was missing. It wasn't until they finished their mission and returned home that they found out the child was missing," Gerard said in a solemn tone, "By that time, more than ten years had passed."

Rose's face grew solemn.

She had a rough idea of what this couple did for a living.
