When Lisle read the will, everyone held their breath and listened.
The content of the will was Derek inherited all the shares. As for the property, it was distributed evenly to Lauren, Derek, and Ernest.
Lawyer Liu was calm and composed. After all, he had experienced magnificent scenes. Even if he recited the fake will, he was unperturbed.
He closed the document. “Alright, this is all the contents of the will.”
The people below looked at each other.
Because they all thought that Derek could not take out his will.
Derek was also very surprised. ‘Since Lauren has found the will, why didn’t she tell him about it?’
Lauren smiled, “Since everyone has heard the will, you also understand what my husband meant when he was alive. We should quickly settle the matter of Derek being the chairman of the board. Let’s do it today.”
“Cousin-in-law, my cousin died suddenly. I wonder when this testament was left.” Derek’s uncle was the first to speak.
Lauren raised her chin at Lisle. “This will was made by Sir Maynard about a month ago. Because it was a matter of great importance, it was not announced to the public. Even Mrs. Maynard and Derek did not know about it. Sir Maynard wanted the will to be taken out after he died.”
“Oh? Really? Then I would like to see my cousin’s signature.” Derek’s uncle was aggressive.
Lauren snorted, “What? Cousin, are you suspecting that I am cheating you?”
“I dare not!” The uncle laughed, “Cousin, you have understood me. I just want to have a look. Why are you so nervous?”
“You” Lauren glared at him and turned her face, “Since you don’t doubt it, there is no need to look at it! Derek is Dalton’s only son, of course, he would leave the shares to Derek. There is nothing to doubt!”
“Not necessarily! My cousin loved his daughter Rafael most when he was alive. But poo Rafael died in a car accident. Maybe my cousin wanted to add this love to her son, Ernest.”
“Nonsense! Ernest is an outsider! No matter how much Dalton loved him, he couldn’t have handed over the corporation to an outsider!”
Lauren reprimanded sternly.
Serina had broadened her horizon, and these people were hysterical.
“Outsider? Forget it, cousin-in-law, don’t kid yourself anymore. My cousin has already said that Ernest and Derek all had the right of inheritance.”
“Cousin and I grew up together. I know his handwriting the best. I can tell if the signature is real or fake with just a look,” said the uncle, sitting up straight and reaching out to Lisle.
Lauren’s heart began to beat faster. Although she had forged the will, the signature could not be transferred from that will to the new will.
She had found an expert to imitate Dalton’s signature. In addition to her guidance, even Lisle could not tell if it was true.
However, Lauren was still worried that Derek’s uncle would know the truth.
After all, they grew up together.
“Cousin-in-law, you don’t even dare to show us the signature. It’s obvious that you have a guilty conscience. It’s not too late to tell us that this will is fake!”
Derek’s uncle was confident.
“Nonsense! Is there a need for me to make up a fake will? Lisle, show him the will!” Lauren finally made up her mind. ‘If I do not show him the signature, he will not give up.’
Lisle handed the will to Derek’s uncle.
The cousin-in-law immediately turned to the last page of the will and glanced at the signature!
He was startled. ‘How Come? I am not sure whether it is real or not!
It seemed like it was my cousin’s signature.’
Lauren was relieved to see his expression. “Alright, you’ve seen it. I think you have known if the signature is true.”
Uncle pondered for a moment and returned the will to Lisle.
“I heard that some people nowadays like to study others’ handwriting, imitate their signatures, then do some illegal things. Ordinary people can’t find it.”
“So, you still can’t prove that this will is real,” Trevon said.
“Don’t go too far. My cousin who grew up with my husband still didn’t say it was fake. How could you say that it is fake?”
Lauren was full of vigor as she slapped the table.
“If this will is real, why didn’t you take it out earlier?” Trevon continued to ask.
“I didn’t know it before. I didn’t know the existence of the will until Lisle told me.”
Lauren was already annoyed.
Derek did not say a word, he did not know what to say, because he also doubted the authenticity of the will.
But considering that Lauren was his mother, he shouldn’t make remarks.
“How many times do I have to tell you can you believe it? If you think the will I took out must be fake, we don’t have to talk about this!”
Lauren was anxious.
“Mrs. Maynard, don’t be so impatient. We are just wondering why this will have only been taken out until now. You just need to explain it clearly. Why did you lose your temper?”
Trevon started to be pleasant.
‘I already knew that these people were not easy to fight, but now I know that it is too difficult!’
Jiang Lin took a breath, “I will get the will to the relevant institutions for public identification, and execute it according to the content of the will. I don’t want to talk with you anymore.”
“But the will is fake!” Derek’s uncle blurted out.
“Cousin, if you don’t have evidence, I can sue you!”
Lauren glared fiercely at Derek’s uncle, “Considering you have given me three days to find the will, I will also give you three days to prove that the will is fake. If you make it, we can have another discussion, otherwise, my son must immediately take over the position of chairman!”
No one answered.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
They felt that this matter had already fallen into a dead end. Whether one thought it was true or not, he or she should provide the evidence.
“If no one speaks, then it is acquiescence,” Lauren said again.
Still, no one spoke.
Lauren smiled. “Alright, then we meet again three days later. I’ll wait for your evidence to prove that this will is fake.”
Lauren was about to stand up.
The door of the conference room suddenly opened at this time.
A firm voice from a woman came.
“There is no need for three days. Today, I can prove that this will is fake.”
Everyone looked toward the door.
Lauren was shocked.
Derek immediately stood up.
“Because I have the real will.”
