S21 53. Unexpected Announcement
Morris cleared his throat and adjusted his tie. “I havee to
announce something very important.”
A secondter, he looked around. The corners of his lips rose slightly. “Since everyone involved has gathered, may | begin?”
Frank raised his hand towards the sofa. “Please have a seat, Mr.
Morris. We are ready to listen.”
“Thank you.”
The notary put his bag on the table. When he opened it, Mnie''s heart fell into her stomach. The woman no longer realized that
she
was the only one standing still.
“Mrs. Harris, would you like to sit down please? You are the main character today.”
Mnie swallowed hard. Her hands clenched into fists and her breathing turned heavy. She didn’t dare move her head when she
met the other''s gaze. She was like a defendant ready to be judged.
Before Mnie could break the stiffness, tiny fingers suddenly touched her hand. “Come on, Grandma. Sit down. Mister Morris
doesn’t seem to be able to wait long
Mnie snorted harshly. Without responding to Emily''s invitation, she turned towards the sofa. As she sat there, her eyes
narrowed towards
Barbara.
Barbara''s shoulders stiffened as well. It was as if she could hear the voice of her mother’s heart. “If the inheritance is cancelled,
you will suffer the consequences!”
Barbara lowered her head and squeezed her white fingers. She

realized that she was the reason behind Morris’ arrival. Now, she could only guess what punishment waited.
“Good evening, the Harpers, the Harris, and Philip.” Morris raised his head and smiled at everyone. A document was standing by
on hisp.
“On this asion,” Morris adjusted his sses and checked the date, “I will read the final judgment of the will addressed to
Mnie Harris by thete Rowan Harper.”
Frank''s eyebrows suddenly pressed against his forehead. He nced at Kara. His wife apparently also had the same
expression.
“Grandma also inherited?” Louis represented everyone''s surprise.
“But there''s no Grandma''s name in the will that Mr. Morris read first,”
Emily tilted her head. “Why?”
Morris cracked a smile. “It''s because this will is confidential. Only the person addressed has the right to know.”
“If it''s a secret, why did Mr. Morris announce it in front of us?” Louis’ neck extended.
Morris blinked slowly. His gaze shifted towards the woman who seemed to have forgotten to breathe. “That''s because a vition
urred. Mnie Harris was dered unable to fulfill the requirements so her rights to all the gold belonging to Rowan Har were
revoked.”
Mnie''s eyes widened. Getting up from the sofa, she shouted, “No! | did not vite the rules. Take a look! Barbara is here. She
still lives in
this house with me!”
Morris twitched an eyebrow. He turned to the family on his left. Seeing the same furrowed brows, he leaned his head forward.
“For your information,” his tone was gentle, “Mrs. Harris can im the inheritance if she and her daughter can survive in this
house for one

month. Thete Rowan seemed to hope that the two parties would
get along.”
“We get along!” Mnie nodded quickly. “You saw how that little girl grabbed my hand just now? She invited me to sit down!
That''s proof
that there is closeness between us.
Morris straightened his body again. While looking closely at Mnie,
he let out a faint sigh. “Sorry, Ma''am. That''s not the problem here. There is something else you have vited, despite you and
your daughter being here.”
The confusion on Mnie''s face suddenly unraveled. With a limited
shake of her head, she wondered. “Not that? So what? Isn''t that the
only requirement put forward to us?”
Clearing his throat, Morris turned the page. “Just like how this will is confidential, thete Rowan Harper also prepared
confidential terms.
Mnie''s jaw dropped. Her eyeballs trembled looking for a loophole that escaped her anticipation. “What did | break? | did
nothing wrong!”
“Based on the information | got, Harris’pany has received half a billion in funding from Mrs. Harper. Is that true?”
Getting a nce from the notary, Kara quickly nodded. “Yes.”
Morris raised the corners of his lips. “That is the point that has be
vited. In the original document, Rowan Harper wrote that Mni Harris could only receive an inheritance from him if she
fulfilled two
conditions.”
While Mnie sighed in disbelief, Morris continued, “First, Mnie Harris had to stay at Frank Harper''s residence with her
daughter, Barbara Harris, for an entire month. Second, Mnie Harris should
not receive more than one hundred million dors from Frank Harper and his family.”

“Wait a minute!” Mnie raised both hands, asking for attention and an opportunity to speak. “l wasn''t the one who received the
money, but my husband.”
“I haven''t finished reading yet,” Morris replied patiently.
“The second point is that Mnie Harris cannot receive more than one hundred million dors from Frank Harper and her small
family, including through her husband and daughter. In this case, the amount you receive far exceeds the specified limit. Even if
the number is divided by three...."
Morris sighed in resignation. “It''s still

“Look! We have agreed to divorce. Once this letter is processed, we will no longer have a rtionship! He is no longer my
husband. So, I didn’t vite the second point!”
Frank and Kara secretly nced at each other. They felt bad for
Morris. Mnie''s reaction was too much.
Meanwhile, Barbara looked down, hiding her face. Her feelings we mixed. She was annoyed, disappointed, and embarrassed.
Why wa her mother willing to throw away her marriage for the sake of wealth?
“Sorry, Mrs. Harris.”
“I''m no longer Mrs. Harris,” Mnie interrupted, holding her divorce papers closer. “Look at this, Mr. Morris. | was divorced. | am
now Mrs. Harper, Frank''s mother.”
Morris took a deep breath. “Sorry, Mrs. Mnie,” he changed his

greeting, “although you have signed the divorce papers, your and Paul Harris’ current marital status is still legally valid. So, you
still vite point number two. Because of that...”
Morris pushed the crumpled paper out of his face and took another document from his bag. “This is a good time for me to read a
letter of
rmendation.”
Everyone was wide-eyed. They knew that Rowan was a well-prepared person, but who would have thought that he also provided
a backup will?
This is an:
“No! not I''m not the one breaking the terms. Why should | bear the loss?” Mnie grabbed his head and started pulling his hair.
Emily leaned closer to Kara seeing her act.
Meanwhile, Barbara could no longer contain her embarrassment. Please stop, Mom! Don''t exaggerate it anymore. The gold did
not belong to you from the start. Why do you feel like you''re losing out if you fail to have it? There''s nothing missing from you,
apart from the marriage that you threw away.”
Mnie started to growl. Her shoulders shook violently, her hands. forming ws. She looked like she was ready to tear her da
apart. However, before she could take a step, Morris cleared his
throat.
“In exchange for the gold you failed to im,” he nced sidewa making sure Mnie heard him, “you are entitled to another

Mnie blinked with a deadpan look. After smoothing her hair, she whispered, “I got another asset?”
