Chapter 1339


    The butler locked at the group and said in a cold voice, “Before Madam Mathilda left, she merely said to let Mr. Tory preside over family affairs. The


    lawyer will read hers and Mr. Harold''s wills."This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Let him preside?" Seline seemed dissatisfied. "Why is Grandma letting him preside? Which one of her children isn''t mere legitimate than him? Does


    she think that the Zimmersons aren''t embarrassed enough?”


    Everyone else agreed with what she said and echoed to express their disapproval.


    The butler seemed to have grown ustomed to such a situation and said with great calmness, "I know everybody thinks that Mr. Tory isn''t fit to


    preside over


    family matters, but this is Madam Mathilda''s orders. Now that she''s gone, the Zimmersons’ family affairs will be left to Mr. Tory to handle. If anyone


    opposes or disagrees, you can leave the Zimmersons. You''ll have nothing to do with the Zimmersons from now on. If you choose to stay. you''ll


    remain a Zimmer and listen to Mr. Tory''s arrangements.”


    When he was done with his sentence, most of those who opposed him fell silent.


    It was the same for Seline. Although she refused to ept it, she chose to m up and very reluctantly went back to her grandmother''s bedside to


    continue kneeling.


    Compared to leaving the Zimmerseon family, having Tory preside over family affairs did not seem that hard to ept now.


    Thewyer came in no time at all. Everyone looked expectantly at him, hoping to hear their names in the will.


    Thewyer was a private practitioner working for the Zimmersons. When he came in, he first paid his respects to Madam Mathilda by bowing to her.


    He then took out a will from his briefcase. "My condolences to everyone. People can''te back from the dead, and Madam Mathilda is considered


    to have lived to a ripe old age. She has made all necessary arrangements and has no regrets anymore. Now, I''ll read Mr. Harold''s and Madam


    Mathilda''s wills.”


    The room that was filled with cries instantly fell silent.


    Thewyer said, TH read Mr. Harold''s will first.” "My children, I know my days are numbered. To this date, under my power, the Zimmerson family is


    considered a sess. It began and will end on a good note. Before I leave, I have made all necessary arrangements to keep the Zimmersons on


    track and prevent all of you from disgracing the Zimmersons in front of the media."


    His words contained all his love and responsibility toward the Zimmersons. To him, the Zimmersons were everything


    Thewyer continued, "For the sake of the future development of the Zimmersons, and after careful thought, I''ve decided to elect Tory Zimmerson as


    the next head of the family. He''ll manage the Zimmerson family as well as all of the Zimmersons'' enterprises. I know some of you will say that I''m


    biased, but this is for the sake of the family''s interests. You mustply.”


    What followed was the distribution of some minor properties to the other children.


    Everyone wore varying expressions after hearing that.


    Seline looked at Tory with a defiant and resentful expression


    However, Mr. Harold had specifically


    emphasized in the will that anyone


    who opposed could leave the


    Zimmerson family, never to leceive


    the Zimmersons'' protection again.


    Mr. Harold-knew that some would -


    be dissatis fied with Toryand 7


    perhaps even threaten him, which


    was.why he added such a Q ’


    statement.

    These people were not going to say anything on the surface, but it was hard to tell if they would try something else in private.


    Tory''s life would be filled with challenges from now on.


    Madam Grant had industries of her own that did not belong to the Zimmersons, but they were all handed over to Tory as well.


    Facing the jealous and resentful gazes from everybody, there was no expression on Tory''s face.


    After paying our respects to Madam Mathilda, Theo and I nned to leave.


    When we got to the first floor, Tory caught up to us.


    "Let''s have a chat, Mr. Grant.”


    He did not seem asposed after leaving Madam Mathilda''s room.


    It was obvious how much the two elders doted on him.


    Now that the two elders were gone, how could he not be in grief?


    Theo lookgdtat him and said ina ~.


    calm tans, "If you have something''to


    say, then do it next time, Mr. oo


    Zimmerson. You have more


    important things to do now’
