As soon as those words left Nathan's mouth, everyone turned to look at old Mrs. Horton.
She glanced at Lewis, then at Oliver, and smiled. "I'll go along with whatever you decide."
Oliver immediately beamed. "Granduncle, you heard her, right? Grandma said to go with our plan, so…"
Julius interrupted, "No, what she meant was to listen to me! When she was fully aware, the one she loved most was Lewis. It's under his leadership that the Horton family has made it this far. Without him, we wouldn't have even made it to Clance! If my sister were still of sound mind, there's no way she'd agree to change the will."
Oliver was starting to panic and shot a look at Nathan.
Nathan didn't hesitate. "Uncle, we've never denied Lewis's contributions to the family, and we're grateful for them. But my mother's will is crucial for us, too. Surely, she didn't mean to give everything to Lewis without leaving something for us?"
