Hendrix nodded and said, "We'll go upstairs and say our goodbyes to Master Hayes!"
The butler nodded.
In Master Hayes's bedroom, a group of people was kneeling on the squeaky-clean floor. Some weresobbing, some were quietly crying, and some were silent.
Miss Monica from a few moments ago went up to the butler once she saw him coming. Not caringabout anything else, she tugged on the butler's sleeve and asked, "Ainsley, did father write his will?Did he give you any orders before he left?"
Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the group of people kneeling on the ground.Of course, it was also possible that it was her words that attracted them.
The butler looked at the group of people and said, "Before he left, he only said that if anythinghappens to him, Young Master Tobias will be the one to take charge. The will was written and thelawyer will arrive shortly to read it out."
"What?" Miss Monica seemed to be unsatisfied. "Why would my father want a brat like him to takecharge? There are so many children and grandchildren in the Hayes Family. Why would he choosean illegitimate son to take charge of the Hayes Family? Isn't the Hayes Family embarrassed enoughas it is?"
Those who were kneeling on the ground joined Miss Monica. They all disagreed to have Tobias takecharge.
The butler seemed to be used to such a situation. He said calmly, "I know everyone thinks thatYoung Master Tobias is not suitable to take charge of the Hayes Family, but Master Hayes said sohimself. After he leaves, everything related to the Hayes Family will be handed over to Young
Master Tobias. If anyone disagrees, feel free to leave the Hayes Family. In the future, they won'thave anything to do with the Hayes Family anymore. If you stay in the Hayes Family, then you'll doas Young Master Tobias says, since you're a member of the Hayes Family."
After he finished speaking, those who opposed became silent. Miss Monica was still not happy, butshe kept her mouth shut and glared at Tobias, who was kneeling in front of the bed.
Right after that, the lawyer arrived.
When they saw the lawyer, everyone's eyes lit up. They looked at the lawyer expectantly, waiting forhim to read out Master Hayes' will.
The lawyer probably came to Hayes Manor often. After coming in and bowing to Master Hayes, hetook out the documents from his briefcase and said, "Everyone, please accept my condolences. Adead person can't come back to life. Master Hayes died peacefully. He had already settledeverything and had no regrets. Now, I will recite the will left by Master Hayes to everyone."
The bedroom, which was originally filled with sobs, was extraordinarily quiet at the moment. Thelawyer looked at the crowd and said, "Hayes Family's children and grandchildren, I'm gone. As theperson in charge of the Hayes Family for the past few decades, I clearly know that I have to takecare of everything before I leave. This way, I can keep the Hayes Family in order and prevent all ofyou from exposing the family's disgrace to the media." That was Master Hayes' opening remarks.There was not much emotion in his words. Instead, it was about the family's responsibilities andinterests.novelbin
The lawyer paused for a moment before continuing, "For the future development of the HayesFamily, I have decided to hand over the Roberts' right to Tobias. He will be the one in charge of themanagement of the Hayes Family's estates and companies. I know that some of you will beunhappy about it, but this is for the sake of the family's interest. Everyone must comply..."
The rest of the will was about the allocation of properties and other small businesses. After listeningto the will, everyone had different expressions on their faces. Miss Monica looked at Tobias,dissatisfaction, and resentment were written all over her face.
