Chapter 547 Such Wicked Conduct

Book:Getting My Ex-wife Back Published:2024-5-1

Vivian was holding onto the bag tightly. Even if her fingers were not within her control, she would still subconsciously grasp on the bag tightly. Was it something important? What was it then?
As if the soles of Liya’s feet were rooted to the ground, she couldn’t move any further.
It must be something valuable or something precious to her. She thought for a while before reaching out to touch Vivian’s clenched fingers.
Vivian’s fingers were still cramping. The moment her fingers let go of it, Liya swiftly took the black bag away.
The fabric of the bag was old, but the texture wasn’t bad. It was soft to the touch. It was light as well. Thus, it was evident that it wasn’t something precious, which disappointed Liya.
She touched it and felt a few papers inside the bag. Just as she was about to toss it away, a sense of unwillingness rose in her heart. She really wanted to see what Vivian cherished so much.
When she opened the bag, she did find a few pages inside. She slowly opened them and looked at them through the dim light.
After a while, she opened her eyes wide.
It turned out to be a will. Looking at the date of the signature, it was actually written two months ago.
She was stunned. It seemed that Vivian had long known that she couldn’t make it. So, she prepared the will in advance.
A will? When Liya thought of that, a sinister smile crept up at the corners of her mouth.
That was a great secret. It was likely that not many people in Richards Manor knew about that will, as it was related to everyone’s personal interests.
She hastily laid it out and looked at it carefully under the dim lighting.
It turned out that the inheritance that belonged to Vivian was a lot, which made Liya feel dizzy for a moment.
To summarize, Vivian divided all the assets into several parts, except for Hansen’s and Norton’s inheritance. Liya didn’t understand much of the contents, but she could tell that the property given to Hansen, the eldest grandson of the Richards family, was astonishing. It was simply impossible to estimate.
The file contained a few pages, and the top two pages were the properties left behind by Richards Manor and Old Master Richards, including banks and trust funds. They were the assets of the family, and most of them were inherited by Hansen. Norton received a lot too, but the explanation on the paper for giving Hansen more was because he had expanded the Richards Group. The assets were all distributed fair and square.
The assets Trevor and Claude would get were listed as well, but Liya was not interested in them and was not in the mood to look at it carefully. She was worried that someone would bump into her. So, she quickly flipped to the last few pages.
She scanned the pages, and when she saw the name ‘Liya’ at the end, she was so shocked that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
She widened her eyes, and after looking at it carefully, her face immediately darkened.
Vivian added a few words at the end of the line, stating that since she felt bad for Elsie in those days, she had already specially assigned an account to fund Liya to finish her college education. Since she had done what she needed to do, the other members of the Richards family didn’t need to feel guilty anymore.
At the bottom of the page, there was a sentence that almost made Liya faint on the spot. It was followed by a row of black words, which was clearly emphasized.
“Hansen mustn’t take Liya as his second wife! Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get a single dime of the inheritance!”
That line exploded in her mind like muffled thunder, causing her to feel as if her world had turned upside down.
Heaven knew how such words could be written in a will. From the looks of it, the will was written two months ago. Obviously, Vivian was not too alert right then. So, it was impossible for her to have recently written such a will. Thus, there was only one explanation, which was that Vivian had already predicted everything. Vivian had already known about it when she was ordered to infiltrate the Richards Group by Zoella. She also knew what would have happened. Therefore, she had made that will in advance to prevent her and Hansen’s wedding from taking place.
‘Hansen mustn’t take Liya as his second wife. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get a single dime of the inheritance.’ If such words were to be announced someday, then everything would go to waste if they hadn’t registered yet, even though she and Hansen had already held their wedding.
That was undoubtedly sentencing her to death. She would never be able to marry Hansen, as Vivian had already written it down in the will.
Oh, God. This was so scary!
Vivian was indeed a cunning old fox.
That d*mn old thing!
Liya cursed in her heart angrily, with her heart bursting with rage.
Vivian didn’t want Hansen to marry her, and none of the members of the Richards family wanted her to move in either. If so, she would definitely marry Hansen, to anger them all to death.
Not only did Liya want to marry Hansen, she also wanted to drive Jenna out of Richards Manor. She wanted them to live a miserable life, as punishment for looking down on her.
The anger in her eyes grew more and more fierce.
Above the cabinet was a pen holder.
Gnashing her teeth, she reached out and took the black fountain pen from the pen holder. She then gently changed the contents of the will, took a closer look, and read it out loud. “Hansen must marry Liya. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get a single dime of the inheritance.”
Liya felt more at ease after seeing that, and a treacherous smile appeared on her face.
Just as she was trying to figure out if there was still anything she could change, the light sound of footsteps could be heard from the door, and it sounded as if it was coming straight for Vivian’s bedroom.
Liya was so startled that she froze. She hastily tidied the papers and put them back into the bag. She then hurried to the bed and stuffed it back into Vivian’s hands. Then, she looked around. The sound came from the door. So, it was evident that she couldn’t leave through the door.
What should she do?
She looked around and saw that the French windows were still open. Thus, she ran quickly to the French windows, climbed out of the window, and quickly hid herself near the windowsill behind the window. Then, she pulled up the curtains on one side to cover the window.
As soon as she finished all those things, the footsteps entered the room.
Liya observed the landscape. The windowsill was quite a distance from the ground. So, she didn’t dare to jump down. She just quietly stayed behind the windowsill and stretched out half of her head to observe the situation in the room.
“Cadrez, please take a look. Grandma has been very uncomfortable from just now, and she was breathing heavily. Her complexion was terrifying as well,” Meroy said anxiously, facing Cadrez.
It turned out that Meroy had gone to look for a specialist in a hurry. Only then did she understand why there was no one else in Vivian’s room.
That really was divine intervention!
She saw the will by chance and successfully changed the contents. It seemed that God pitied her and wanted to give her the glory she deserved.
When Liya thought of that, she felt at ease, and a wild smile appeared on her face.
Her initially uneasy heart had also calmed down at that moment. It was as if she had taken a tranquilizer pill, as she felt extremely calm.
Hmph, as long as she had that will, it would be hard for Hansen not to marry her!
She was destined to become Mrs. Richards.
Just as she was thinking happily, she heard Meroy’s anxious voice in the room. “Oh no, Cadrez, Grandma passed out.”
