"That’s right, Evelyn."
Sumr Monroe regained so composure, looking at Evelyn Clayton with a half-smile, "Do you have so kind of problem with ? Why are you spreading rumors so readily?"
"Rumors? I don’t think that’s necessarily the case," Yara Reagan also chuckled lightly, "Who doesn’t know about the thing between you two? It’s one thing to hide it from outsiders, but why are you keeping it from us?"
Before Sumr could retort, Yara raised her eyes, smiling innocently and brightly, "I’m just joking, Director Monroe, don’t mind. But we are one family, aren’t we? From now on, we’re partners with Violet Ford, doesn’t that count as family?"
Evelyn Clayton tapped lightly on the table with her fingertips, choosing to stay silent.
Violet Ford seed satisfied and chuckled softly, "Alright, it’s just a al, no need to blush. But Sumr, you should mind yourself a bit, I don’t care about your love affairs, but don’t forget your identity."
This was almost an unveiled hint.
A clear warning to Sumr Monroe: if you really end up with Soren Foster, your position in The Ford Family will be extrely precarious.
"However, I’m not against you finding your own second chance at love. Don’t worry, Sumr. Once you find soone you like, I’ll grant you so shares for dividends, as was Felix Irving’s request to ensure your lifelong prosperity."
Upon hearing this, Sumr Monroe clearly paused, "What request from Felix?"
"Hm? You don’t know?" Violet raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Years ago when Felix passed away, didn’t he leave you a will saying all his shares and assets were yours? Didn’t his will state that he also left so for Franklin and ?"
Sumr instinctively rebutted, "Impossible!"
Felix Ford passed away so suddenly, he never...
"Why would it be impossible?" Violet chuckled, "Sister-in-law, could it be that you don’t have that will in your possession at all?"
"How could that be!" Sumr abruptly reacted, as if trying to cover sothing up, sipping her tea.
It was then that Evelyn, who had been quietly observing, ca to her senses.
It appeared Sumr had secrets she couldn’t share.
And her guess was half correct.
Sumr did have a winning card in her hand.
But whether that card was real or not was unknown.
"It stands to reason, you and Felix were so in love, he always adored you, leaving those things to you is normal. But Sumr, I forgot to tell you, Felix notarized a will while dating you."
Violet calmly ate, sipping deep red wine, fixedly gazing at Sumr, "How about it, Sumr? Do you need to read it to you?"
A subtle fear rose from the depths of Sumr’s eyes.
What she feared most had finally co.
Alongside the fear, Sumr’s heart was filled with an unstoppable anger.
Felix Ford... claid to love her! But in reality, he treated her as an outsider!
Otherwise, how could he leave everything to Franklin Ford and just afford her a trust fund after passing?
If not for her careful plotting, Franklin would have been sitting at the helm of The Ford Group!
And now, here cos a prenuptial will!
Sumr’s heart held more and more resentnt.
But she dared not show any of it, only managing a strained smile.
"Big sister, let’s skip the reading. I’m quite comfortable working diligently for The Ford Family as it is." Sumr’s smile was forced.
Violet’s smile deepened, "Let give you a brief rundown, so you can ntally prepare."
"Felix’s intention was, should you find soone you love in the future and decide to remarry, the condition would be that aside from yearly dividends and inheriting Felix’s personal real estate, you shall receive nothing else."
