S21 54. New Terms


    Morris nodded. He raised his hand pointing to the empty seat. “Could you please sit quietly, Ma''am? | can’t focus on reading if


    you''re standing all the time.”


    Mnie quickly took her position. With her hands on herp, she put on a smile that looked scary. “Please continue, Sir.”


    “As we know, thete Rowan Harper had many assets, including


    property.”


    Frank''s brow furrowed. “Sorry, Mr. Morris. Hadn''t my grandfather sold all his propertyst year? As far as | know, Grandpa


    switched it to


    stocks.”


    Louis’ mouth suddenly rounded. “No wonder Mommy has a lot of


    shares. It turns out Grandpa bought it from the sale of all his


    apartments!”


    Morris smiled at Louis''s chatter. “Not all. There are two left. In N City and K City.”


    Mnie''s eyes suddenly lit up. As far as she could remember, th apartment his father-inw owned was never small. “Are those


    apartments for me?”


    “Based on this will, Mnie Harris is entitled to the apartment in N City with one condition.” Morris emphasized his tone, “She


    must live there.”


    The curve of Mnie''s lips shrunk. “I have to live there?” Her eyes widened.


    Morris pointed his finger, indicating that he was not finished with the sentence just now.

    “And manage it. If within three months there is a consecutive decline in price or quality, the asset will be withdrawn and handed


    over to the next party. And if Mnie Harris leaves the apartment for more than a week or even moves elsewhere, the asset is


    also transferred to that


    party.”


    “Who else is the next party?” Louis tilted his head.


    “Sorry, Young Master. | can’t answer that now.”


    Suddenly, Mnie waved her hand. ‘There won''t be the next one! The apartment was right in my hands.”


    Morris nodded. In his heart, he was grateful that Mnie epted that decision. However, when he was about to take a breath


    to sp


    speak again, the woman interrupted him. “What about the apartment in K City? Why doesn''t it be mine?”


    Blinking casually, Morris moved his gaze to Philip. The others also looked at the young man.


    “What is it, Mr. Morris? Why are you looking at me like that?”


    “Nothing. It''s just that | didn’t expect that you would be full of surprises.”


    The twins’ mouths rounded. “Is that apartment for Philip?” Their fingers pointed at the assistant.


    Barbara''s eyebrows rose high, just like her mother’s. “Who is Philip to this family?” the girl sighed, suddenly tense.


    Barbara knew that everyone had once been shocked about Jeremy''s true identity. She didn’t want that to happen to Philip either.


    It would beplicated if the man turned out to be her brother even though they weren''t blood rted.


    Suddenly, Mnieughed and waved her hands. “Impossible. On

    Morris cleared his throat. “Because Mnie Harris could not im.


    Rowan Harper''s gold, the asset fell into the hands of Diana Johnson.”


    “Diana Johnson? Who''s that?” Mnie''s eyes narrowed.


    While the others were silently waiting for an exnation from the notary, Philip was wide-eyed. His open mouth had difficulty


    forming


    words. “Diana Johnson?”


    Frank nced. “You know her?”


    “She was the woman who took care of our orphanage, the person who sent me to school and sent my job application to Savior.”


    Barbara secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she confirmed her suspicion was wrong, Morris said, “Diana Johnson


    is the ex-wife of thete Rowan Harper. It was not without reason that


    she sent you here.”


    Philip''s furrowed brows deepened. “What''s reason?”


    “I don’t know the details either, but what is clear is that thete Rowan wanted you to take his grandchildren and great-grandch


    to meet Diana Johnson. They will read the will and hand over the inheritance. In return, you deserve an apartment in K City.”


    “Does it mean we and Uncle Jeremy have toe too?” Emily''s eye


    lit up.


    Morris sighed in exasperation. “Yes, Young Lady.”


    “Woohoo!” Louis raised his fists as high as he could. “That would be so exciting! Next holiday, let''s not go to Bali. Let''s meet


    Grandma Diana.”


    “You don''t know where Grandma Diana is, Louis.” Emily narrowed her

    eyes. “She could be in this city. That''s not a holiday.”


    Louis’ lips pursed. “Philip, where does she live?"


    Philip formed a smile. “In K City.”


    “Is it the ce where the apartment located?” Louis’ shoulders. dropped.


    “Yeah, right there.”


    Emily immediately pouted. “Mr. Morris, should Philip also live there and manage it?”


    Without anyone knowing, Barbara held her breath. Her hands


    clenched into fists gripping her dress. She wasn''t ready to part with


    her “new friend”. Please read the

    Hearing those protests, Morris let out a tired sigh. He opened his again and took out a document with a simr cover.


    “A spare will again?” Louis represented everyone''s amazement.


    Morris smiled slightly. “Because Mrs. Mnie doesn''t agree, there is one condition that she must fulfill if she wants the asset


    addressed


    to Philip.”


    Mnie let out augh. “I know it. My father-inw is not someone who carelessly distributes his wealth.”

    The others looked at her while shaking their heads. However, Mnie felt no shame. She even raised her chin. “Tell me what the

    Everyone was stunned. Morris didn’t even blink at the woman. “What crime have youmitted, Madam?”


    Mnie didn''t answer. She was frozen, without daring to blink or


    breathe.


    “Mom?” Barbara sighed, breaking the silence. “Why is the condition like that? You didn’tmit a crime, right?”


    Mnie swallowed hard. Cold sweat began to bead on her forehead. | didn''t do anything,” she answered tly.


    “If your crime is serious, you could be in danger of losing everything, Madam.”


    Mnie''s body started to tremble. While holding her neck, she t catch her breath. “That condition is ridiculous,” she hissed,


    barely audible. “How could someone like me break the rules?”


    “Now that | think, Mom had the heart to put chemo drugs in Kara food,” Frank said quietly. “Have you ever done anything more


    heinous than that, Mom?”


    “Grandma, please tell me it''s not true,” Emily shook her head slowly. Her two hands were clenched in front of her chest. “I don’t


    want to have a cruel grandmother.”


    Suddenly, Mnie mmed her fist on the table. “Stop it!”
