Harlee glanced at Adriana, gestured toward her, and then the two walked over toward that side and sat on the couch.
“Dad, are you getting old and confused and want to give them both a share of the property?”
The two had just walked over to the sofa and sat down when they saw their eldestuncle Samuel pointing at the two with a grim face and said to Old Mr. Soto with dissatisfaction.
To know what happened back then Samuel is the most clear, after all, he adopted Ross’s biological children, and Adriana and Harlee two people are not the Soto family at all.
If it wasn’t for the authority of Old Mr. Soto, he wouldn’t have kept quiet in the first place.
I just didn’t expect that now that the property is about to be distributed, two people are actually still placed around, trying to let them a wild child adopted back to inherit the property.
“You shut up. Both of them are also from my the Soto family, especially Harlee, who was brought up by the old man me. Don’t you forget, his last name is Gu!”
“Adriana’s last name is Mu and she’s married to Peter. You know that the Soto family and The Alston family have never gotten along. Do you want to give her a share of the property?”
Samuel’s heart was full of anger.
Just as his words fell, several uncles chimed in.
“Yeah, Dad, she’s an outsider.”
“Having said that, Adriana alone owns all of Peter’s property and is not short of our little money.”
“That’s it.”
…
Once the interests are involved, they are surprisingly amicable instead.
Neither Adriana nor Harlee spoke, as it was not the right time for them to speak.
Old Mr. Soto sat quietly, saying nothing, just quietly holding the tea, sipping the tea, and listening to their ramblings in a leisurely manner.
“Are you done? When you’re done, shut up.”
Old Mr. Soto placed the cup in his hand on the table with a heavy thud, clearly expressing his personal displeasure.
Seeing his anger, the crowd dropped their heads and did not speak.
“The Soto family was built by me, and it’s all because of me. So, who do I need to ask about who I want to give my property to? Hmm?”
Bang–
He slapped his big palm heavily on the desktop, only to hear a slight click, and then found that the short few tables directly cracked a few fine lines.
Several people have always known the ability of the old man Rex, since childhood martial arts training, but have not really seen the old man strike, and now is a rage, the table was easily smashed.
It is evident that the capacity is deep.
They look at me, I look at you, their faces are slightly white, lowering their heads and not daring to speak .
“I have the final say in matters of property, but if any of you have any objections, then I will now make a will and donate all my property to the charity, so that you will not get a single penny.”
The old man’s angry look like a lion in the jungle, cold face shocked everyone trembling, not daring to speak.
Adriana secretly admired the old man and felt a warmth and happiness in her heart.
At least for this moment, Old Mr. Soto was really nice to her and Harlee.
“Grandpa Soto.”
Adriana called out and said, “I talked it over with my brother. We don’t …”
“No what no, shut the hell up!”
Old Mr. Soto didn’t give Adriana a chance to finish her sentence at all, already knowing what she wanted to say, so he just blocked the words back.
“Grandpa, I’m with Adri …”
“I told you to shut up, can’t you hear me!?”
Old Mr. Soto is really ‘brutal’ to Harlee, see him talk too much, so he directly copied the tea on the table and smashed towards Harlee.
Harlee was quick-eyed and instantly dodged aside, avoiding the tealight.
And the tealight hit the spot where Harlee was sitting and bounced to the floor, shattering.
“SHIT!”
Harlee grinned and knitted her brows in displeasure, “Grandpa, are you trying to murder me? I just don’t want to inherit the estate, don’t I? Besides, you are now able to jump, hale and hearty, what inheritance division? I tell you, in this family, once you divide the property after the number of people may be waiting for you to die early. For safety’s sake, you should live well and wait for the day when you really can’t talk about the division of property. ”
Before Harlee didn’t know how good Old Mr. Soto was to him, but now he understands that all the harshness was for his good.
He was naturally touched in his heart.
A speech although inauspicious, in the big new year to say these things is also inappropriate, but he had to say.
“Who do you think is looking forward to my dad’s death?”
“That’s it, how you talk.”
“It’s not like that.”
…
Several uncles stared at Harlee, pointing and yelling at him.
“I just said that off the top of my head, what does it matter to me that you all like to be right.” Harlee raised an eyebrow and shrugged, “Those who don’t know really think that’s what you all think.”
A sentence, choking the faces of those people blue a white burst, fierce ugly.
“Yes, Grandpa Soto, you are in such good health, and it is out of order and unlucky to make a will now.”
Adriana went to Old Mr. Soto’s side and sat down, put her arm around him and said, “The Soto family was built by you, and although it is your right to give it to whoever you want, there is really no need to make a will too early. You should know that when you grasp the power, others are flattering you, once the will is made, you will have no initiative, and when you really fall ill in bed, not many people will really expect you to survive.”
She thought the same as Harlee.
Those words were obviously hard to hear, but they were said for the sake of Old Mr. Soto’s future.
“Hmph, I’ll see which one dares!”
Old Mr. Soto grunted coldly, that arrogant look like a child.
“That’s right, no one thinks that way.”
“Yeah Dad, don’t listen to those two kids.”
“Who says it isn’t.”
“That’s what I thought.”
…
The crowd conformed.
Old Mr. Soto then beckoned to one man, “Go get the papers from the left drawer in my study.”
“Yes.”
The maid gave a slight jaw and turned to go upstairs.
Adriana shook her head helplessly with a sigh and looked to Harlee, signaling Harlee to come over and persuade the old man.
Harlee then walked over to the other side of Old Mr. Soto and sat down, “Grandpa, you’re really too lazy. And you want to retire at a young age.”
“Hmph, what’s the matter, Xu you kid do dump, I can’t enjoy the enjoyment?”
“Of course not. Look at you ha, busy all your life, how boring it would be if you didn’t work, right?”
“Yes, my brother is right. You’d better get busy to be more fulfilling, it’s boring when you’re idle. ”
The two men were at their wits’ end, not knowing how to persuade the old man.
After all, Old Mr. Soto treats them as his own people, but ultimately there is no blood relationship and he cannot do anything for them.
But in a moment’s time, Old Mr. Soto had already brought down the documents from the upstairs study.
“Go and get Rowan the barrister. And, has the notary come?” Old Mr. Soto asked the maid.
