Chapter 1858 Calling Keith
Some of the remaining fixed assets were distributed to Ian. Although these fixed assets were not
particrly valuable, there were still a lot of them. Then, there was some working capital that was given
to Leah and Sally. As for Simon, there really was nothing.
Cindy smacked her lips andmented, “I don''t know what Old Mr. Morgan was thinking at thest
moment to make such a decision.”
Ian didn’t care what Bryce thought as the man had already died, so it was meaningless to think about
Bryce now. He rolled over and embraced Cindy''s waist as his face pressed against it. “I don''t know
whether the media has caught wind of it yet. If there is a lot of media coverage, Leah may be a
little out of control.”
The matter of the will would have been a big blow for Leah. If the media had reported more hype, no
one knew what she would do. If she had dared to rush toward to fight awyer today, it would not be
unusual for her to cook up something else. Shaking her head, Cindy raised her hand and stroked Ian''s
hair, saying, “It’s karma. She was so arrogant before, and now this is her retribution.”
Therefore, it was always said that one should not be too unrelenting toward others as there was no
certainty in life. If one was too harsh toward others, there would be no way to reconcile in the future.
As she couldn''t sleep now, she leaned on the bed. However, he felt a lot more peaceful when he
hugged her, so he fell asleep a short whileter. She waited for him to fall asleep before lightly getting
out of bed. She padded out of the room and stood on the balcony for a while, then changed her shoes
to head downstairs to have a walk in themunity.
Finally, she stopped by a bench where she took out her phone to call Hazel. Hazel quickly answered
the phone, but there were loud noises in the background—she was obviously ying cards with others.
Cindy took a deep breath and said, “If you''re busy, forget it.”
She originally thought about her father because of Bryce''s affairs and felt ufortable about it, so
she wanted to call her mother to talk for a while. As a result, the sound of Hazel ying cards at the
end of the phone call killed all her enthusiasm to the point where she even regretted calling Hazel.
At the other end of the line, Hazel grunted and said, “Then, I''ll call you back in a bit.”
“No, I have nothing much to say anyway. You can continue with your game.” Cindy hung up the phone
at once.
She wasn’t extremely disappointed, if she was being honest. Hazel had nothing to do at home and in
most cases, the woman merely yed cards with others outside. Therefore, Cindy more or less
expected it.
Cindy held the phone, hesitated for a while, and called Keith.
It took a long time for Keith to answer, but as soon as the call was connected, he asked, “Cindy, what''s
the matter?”
She didn''t call him often. Even though the siblings had a good rtionship, they didn''t have much
contact during ordinary times. He had sses while Cindy had work, so they only contacted each other
whenever they had something important to say.
After turning to sit on the bench, she responded, “I have nothing to do, so I just called to ask how you
are doing.”
He sighed. “I''m fine. I usually attend sses and asionally work part-time. I''m doing fine. How about
you? Are you busy?”
Cindy was not busy as she was on a vacation some time ago. She also responded that she was living
well here before asking Keith if he had enough money on hand.

Ever since Keith went to university, most of his living expenses were paid by Cindy although the tuition
fees were funded by Hazel. Hazel would sometimes directly ask her for money, but she would transfer
the amount to him instead most of the time.
Although Cindy didn''t like Hazel casting the responsibility of raising Keith on her, Hazel had also
subsidized him a lot in private. She was rtively clear in this regard—Hazel was Hazel, and Keith was
Keith. She would never treat Keith differently because of Hazel''s attitude.
