Female Novel
Chapter 120
"Did the old lady revise her will today? What did she say?"
"Sorry, I must protect my client’s privacy." Mr. Baldwin held up his glasses and retorted.
"After Stephanie left, it would be I who will be running the family. I will naturally take care of you more in
the future. I just want to know, am I on the board?" Jacqueline hinted.novelbin
Mr. Baldwin hesitated and nodded.
Jacqueline was relieved that Stephanie had finally given her a chance, and the fact that she was on the
board meant that she would have more than 5% of the shares. For so many years, she had been on
the periphery of the group, but she had never been able to get to the heart of the power. Now she was
finally going to get what she wanted.
"Great, I'm relieved." She was beaming with a smile.
"Ma’am, I would like to remind you. Although Ms. Stephanie has modified her will today. But it does not
mean that this will be the final will." Mr. Baldwin said.
"What do you mean?" Jacqueline was surprised, "Doesn't a will that is modified at the presence of a
lawyer have finality?"
Mr. Baldwin shook his head, "It used to be, but new rules were issued this year. A notarized will, an oral
will, a self-written will, are all valid. If all of these wills exist at the same time, then only the last will be
valid."
"So, even to the last minute, Stephanie can make her own changes?" Jacqueline frowned.
"That's right. It can be understood that way." Mr. Baldwin bent and bowed, "If there's nothing else, I'll go
first."
When Mr. Baldwin left, Jacqueline sat down on the couch.
Damn the new rules. It seemed she could let her guard down until Stephanie breathed her last.
Shelly sat beside her and soothed, "Mom, it's okay, don't think too much. If Grandma does not leave
the shares to us, then who should she give them all to? It's all the Warner family's assets."
After saying that, Shelly suddenly got a jolt.
The image of Joyce came to her mind. No way, she shook off her head. No matter what, her
grandmother could not leave a share of the inheritance to Joyce, an outsider. What was she thinking?
Jacqueline and Shelly both sat down for a short while.
They then got all the way to Stephanie's room.
Stephanie had just had her painkillers and seemed to be in fair spirits.
Jacqueline rushed forward and diligently helped Stephanie to sit up and put a cushion behind her back.
"Mom, Cecelia wants to meet you." Jacqueline asked cautiously.
Since Joyce and Luther's marriage license was revealed, she has been under a lot of pressure, and
while she did benefit from the soaring market price of the R&S Group, the pressure from the Heath
family was just too much.
"No." Stephanie shook her head.
"That …" Jacqueline was a little embarrassed.
"The Heath family's recovered daughter, named Charlotte, right?" Stephanie asked.
"Yes." Shelly replied.
"Next Sunday, ask her over." Stephanie finished and closed her eyes and the rest looked puzzled and
unsure of what she was thinking.
Jacqueline's heart was filled with joy! Stephanie was finally accepting Charlotte?
She hastily agreed, "Yes, I'll arrange it."
"Let her come alone. And no one is allowed to be present, including Mr. Arnold, and give him the day
off." Stephanie instructed, "If there's nothing else, you guys should go back."
When she finished, she lay down to rest and stopped paying attention.
Jacqueline and Shelly both left the room looking suspicious.
Stephanie, what's your plan actually? She could not help but feel strange.
When Shelly returned to the living room, she met Joyce, who had just returned.
