Baby Alliance: Helping Daddy Get A Rich Mommy Chapter 497
Chapter 497 Based on the Ancestral Rule
Selena remained silent throughout themotion because she personally thought that the will was
fake. John did not know that Chris was not his biological son. Why would he leave nothing to Chris?
She was puzzled because Pierre would not be as foolish as to carry out a wed attempt at forging
John’s will. “What’s the matter? Do you not trust the authenticity of the will?” Pierre was seated calmly.
“That’s because the will does not sound credible at all!” Joseph was the first to stand up. “When John
was still alive, he did not know that Chris wasn’t his biological son. Even if he did not care for Chris, he
would have at least handed something to him! Nothing is given to Chris in the will. How is that logical?”

“That’s right!”
The crowd immediately echoed Joseph’s sentiment.
“How should the will be written to be considered credible, then?” He smirked at his rtives, who fell
silent at his retort.
“Well, if the will is fake, we will redistribute the inheritance based on ancestral rules!” Joseph gave an
ultimatum.
“Yes! We will follow the ancestral rules! The will must be fake!”
“We can’t let you muddle through this time!”
The Fowler n was fighting hard to secure their share of the inheritance.
Selena sat quietly because she had nothing to add. Such was the situation of a family-run business.
Every death in the family would inevitably result in a war for inheritance.
That was why John had been keeping his health condition under wraps. Had the rtives heard about
his deteriorating health, they would have started the fight much earlier.
Based on the Fowler Family rules, if the patriarch of the family died without a will, his wealth would be
distributed ording to a ratio of two-to-one.
In that way, two thirds of John’s wealth would go to his core family members, and the one third would
be distributed among the rtives.
The Fowlers had been running their business for over a century. Early in history, the forefathers of the
family had set up certain rules. The patriarch at that time put a lot of emphasis on kinship because the
unity among family members was crucial to the survival of the business. That was the reason behind
the ancestral rule in wealth distribution to ensure that all members in their n were well-taken care of.
However, the Fowlers of the present day did not resemble their forefathers at all. They were leeches
who not only contributed nothing, but also greedily fought for wealth. Pierre did not throw them into jail
only because he regarded them as family.
“What if I could prove the authenticity of the will?” A confident smile appeared on Pierre’s face. When
Selena looked at him again, she admitted that he was extraordinarily charming.
She had no idea if he was truly confident or acting. Anyway, hismanding aura was too cool in her
eyes.
“How can you prove it? You could’ve easily forged the handwriting and the seal!” Joseph made himself
very clear—he did not have faith in the authenticity of the will.
“That’s my problem, don’t you think? If I could show proof and certify the authenticity of the will, are you
going to ept all the uses in the will?”
The Fowlers exchanged nces among themselves, but their expression soon hardened.
Joseph stood up and spoke out. “With John gone, I am now the eldest, and I shall speak up for the
younger members of the family. Pierre, if you can prove the authenticity of the will, we will definitely
ept the uses. If you fail to do so, the will shall be nullified, and we will redistribute the wealth
based on the ancestral rule.”
“Right! Let’s do it this way!” Someone instantly concurred with Joseph.
“Great.” Pierre snapped his fingers again, and thewyer took out herptop. The lights in the room
were switched off as the projector screen rolled down from the ceiling.
