Chapter 401 Announce the will

Mr. Kawn glared at them and said sarcastically, "So we have to give whatever the Lafayette family wants, huh? Does the Kawn family mean nothing to you? Don't even mention that child. Even if we replace the child, she has nothing to do with you! I'm warning you, as long as I'm still alive, don't you dare lay a finger on her!"

Pierre said in a low voice, "Though she's Miss Kawn's child, she's also my brother's. She is the heir of the Cercis family. We won't give in no matter what!"

Mr. Kawn snorted and didn't have the energy to argue with him.

Pierre took a bow and said politely, "Sorry to bother you. But I will come back."

Then, he left.

After that, the butler came in. Seeing Mr. Kawn sitting there angrily, he rushed there.

"Mr. Kawn, how are you doing? Are you okay?"

Mr. Kawn waved his hand and pointed the medicine bottle on the table nearby.

The butler hastily grabbed the bottle. He took a pill out of it and gave the pill to Mr. Kawn. After a while, Mr. Kawn looked better.

"Oliver, call Wilson. I want to see him right away."

"Yes, sir."

Wilson returned quickly.

He was summoned to the study. They spent the whole afternoon there and no one knew what they were talking about and what decisions they had made.

But the next day, Natalia got an invitation from the Kawn family again.

They informed her that something urgent needed to be discussed and she must go.

The letter of invitation was quite formal and the words were serious and sincere.

But Natalia didn't know what kind of important things from the Kawn family would concern her and why she must go there.

Since they put it that way, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to go.

If she refused, it would be too unreasonable.

So, Natalia and Archie went to the Kawn's mansion that night.

When they arrived, they found that everyone was present, which was really rare.

Not only Mr. Kawn, but Wilson, Tracy, Selena, the elders from the collateral branches of the Kawn family and even Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy were there.

Natalia was shocked.

"Grandpa, grandma, why are you here?"

She walked to Mrs. McCarthy and asked.

They stared at her, looking quite weird.

Obviously, the Kawn family had told them why they wanted them to be here before Natalia arrived.

Mrs. McCarthy gave her a complicated look and sighed, "Lia, since you came, sit here first. No matter what you will hear later, you will always be my granddaughter-in-law and no one can force you to do anything."

Natalia froze and felt even more surprised.

She glanced at Archie puzzledly, only to see that he was silent.

Natalia had no choice but to sit down.

Mr. Kawn relapsed two days ago and the doctor told him to stay in bed and not to walk too often.

So by the time everyone arrived, Mr. Kawn was still in his room.

Hearing that everybody was here, he asked his butler to help him change his clothes and push his wheelchair.

They hadn't seen him for some time and Mr. Kawn looked much older now.

The old man who used to be quite vigorous was now tortured by illness and became skinny. Only when they looked him in the eyes, they could still see his vitality.

He looked around in the room and finally his eyes were fixed on Natalia.

"Everyone is here. You made it, Natalia."

Mr. Kawn was smiling at Natalia and she stood up immediately.

"Mr. Kawn..."

"Sit down. Don't be so uptight. Make yourself at home."

Natalia could tell from his voice that he was exhausted. Even though he tried to stay conscious, he was still in a terrible condition.

She asked worriedly, "Mr. Kawn, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I've been like this before. I can handle it."

As he said that, he looked around and said seriously, "Today I invited you here to announce an important statement. William, you and Ariana can be the witnesses. If anyone has disapproval in the future, you can help me deal with them."

Mr. McCarthy frowned and his wife seemed to hesitate. But finally, they agreed.

"Say it! We'll be the witnesses."

"Good."

Mr. Kawn beckoned and a middle-aged woman came up from behind.

Natalia was astonished. She knew this woman before. And she remembered that she saw her in the Kawn's mansion at Mr. Kawn's birthday banquet. It was said that she used to be Yvonne's maid and she stayed at the Kawn's family after Yvonne was gone. She had been there as a maid for a long time.

That woman handed Mr. Kawn a file and he gave it to a lawyer next to him. The lawyer opened the fire and then looked at Natalia.

"The reason why I called you to come is that I want to announce a will. After my death, you must follow the will strictly."

Everyone looked quite surprised.

Mr. Kawn had been in a bad shape for a long time and they heard that he didn't have much time left.

But the will was the Kawn's family affair. Ever since Matthew was forced to stay abroad, Wilson was the only qualified heir of the Kawn family.

Therefore, everyone acknowledged this fact that Wilson would take over the Kawn family. In fact, the Kawn Properties was completely under his control now.

In this case, everything from the Kawn family will belong to Wilson. Why did Mr. Kawn announce the will again in front of so many people?

All of them was shocked. Even Natalia couldn't help frowning.

She didn't think of Wilson and the Kawn Properties. She just thought that the will was their business, not hers.

Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy were Mr. Kawn's best friend and were big shots. It was reasonable that they came here as witnesses.

But she and Archie were the young members of the McCarthy family and had nothing to do with the properties of the Kawn family. Why did Mr. Kawn invite them to be here?

But no matter how puzzled she was, she couldn't just leave.

Natalia had to sit there and see what would happen next.

She saw that Mr. Kawn gave the lawyer an eye contact and the lawyer nodded. He opened the will and read out loud.
