Chapter 251
"Ethan, you need to rx a bit and have a drink, you''re too caught up in your duties."
Ethan simplyughed, "Thanks, Rita."
Since Ines'' mood had improved, she didn''t experience any morning sickness during dinner and
even had two bowls of chicken soup and a lot of bread.
Rita was pleasantly surprised, "Ines, your appetite seems to be much better than before."
Erica chuckled, "You have no idea. Yesterday, Ines was retching from morning sickness. She
couldn''t even bear the smell of chicken breast, let alone chicken soup. But today, probably because
you guys came over and she''s in a better mood, she didn''t have morning sickness."
Rita responded, "Oh, I see. It seems your uncle and I are notpletely useless after all. Our
grandkids are really giving us face." Everyoneughed at her remark.
After dinner, Phillip sent a car to pick up Rita and Zander for an overnight stay at his ce. Although
they had initially nned to stay at a hotel, Erica managed to persuade them to hop in the car.
The next morning, Ss called to inform them that the second will had been lost. He had already
notified thewyer in charge of Hunter''s will who was due to visit the Galeana family in the morning.
He asked them to be at the Galeana family home by 9:30 am.
Upon receiving the call, they didn''t waste any time and arrived at the Galeana family home early.
Emma and Shirley were seated in the living room, both looking rather downcast.
Ss stood by the window, seemingly busy with phone calls.
Upon seeing Ines, Shirley sneered, "You never acknowledged your own father when he was alive,
but you sure rushed over fast after he was gone."
Ines ignored Shirley, and Ethan simply nced at her with aplex expression, not willing to
stoop low enough to engage in conversation with her.
Shirley was somewhat intimidated by Ethan''s gaze and shrunk back slightly, choosing not to say
anything more.
Not long after, Aiden and Mrs. Ramos arrived. Upon seeing them, Shirley immediately frowned,
"What are you doing here at this time?"
Aiden gave a slight smile and exined, "Mom, I came to check on Emma."
Shirley snorted, "Your words sound nice. Everyone can show up at the critical moment. Everybody
knows your intentions at this time, why bother pretending?"
Mrs. Ramos was about to retort when Emma nced at Shirley and interjected, "Mom, less talk. I
was the one who invited them over."
She then gestured for Aiden and Mrs. Ramos toe and sit, "Thewyer for the will won''t be here
for a while."
Shirley red at Emma, thinking about how stupid her daughter was to invite them over at such a
critical time. Wasn''t this just like revealing their wealth to others? She was too dumb.
Ines couldn''t help but nce at Aiden. Aiden felt her gaze and looked somewhat stiff and awkward,
but eventually he still sat down next to Emma with his mother and started whispering with her.
Ethan held Ines'' hand, and she gave him a small smile in return.
After a while, a man with a briefcase hurriedly walked in. Ss put down his phone and introduced
him to everyone, "This is thewyer in charge of handling the Chairman''s estate. He will announce
the distribution of the Chairman''s estate."
Thewyer nodded to everyone, took out a yellow folder from his briefcase, and began, "I was
entrusted by Mr. Galeana on February 1st this year. However, a few days ago, Mr Galeana called
me to say that he wanted to change his will, but the final will did not reach me. Ss also said that
the draft of the will was lost. ording to the currentw, Mr Galeana''s will shall be distributed
ording to the one that I have here."
Shirley''s eyes were glued to the will in thewyer''s hand, as she prayed fervently. Emma was also
looking eagerly.
Ines and Ethan''s expressions were the calmest, as they were not as concerned about this matter.
They could ept whatever the oue would be.
Thewyer took in everyone''s expressions. He had been in this profession for many years, and he
could gauge everyone''s attitude with just one look. He nced at Shirley, thinking that she might be
the most disappointed.
Unable to contain her excitement, Shirley urged, "Lawyer, please announce the results quickly."
Thewyer confirmed once again that all those people rted to the estate were present, then
began, "Mr Galeana held 52% of the shares in the Galeana Group, owned five shops in the
downtownmercial street, seven properties, including where we are currently, a current bank
ount bnce of 15 million dors, and investments in futures and securities valued at about 30
million dors. However, ording to the current market value, it may have shrunk. This is all of Mr
Galeana''s assets."
Shirley''s eyes lit up, she hadn''t expected Hunter to have so much in his possession. Any one of
these would be enough to tempt people. "Mr Galeana left this vi to Ms. Emma. Out of the other
six properties, Ms Emma recieved four. The remaining two belong to Ss, with one given to Ss,
and the other given to Ss'' son, Steve. Until Steve starts a family, this property will be managed by
Ss, as a token of appreciation for his many years of hard work in the Galeana Group and the
Galeana family."
Tears welled up in Ss''s eyes. He already had plenty of assets, enough for him to enjoy his twilight
years. He didn''t need any more.
Emma let out a small sigh of relief. With these properties in her hands, she and Jasmine shouldn''t
face too many trouble in the future.
The eyes of the Ramos family shone brighter, gazing at Emma with an added touch of warmth.
Some rejoiced, others worried.

Shirley was dumbfounded. Howe she didn''t get a slice of the pie with all these properties?
Even Ss''s son got something, but she got nothing. What was going on? "What about me,
counselor?" Shirley couldn''t help but interrupt thewyer, her trembling hand pointing anxiously at
herself.
