Family inheritance?
The moment those words were spoken, everything clicked into place.
The reason these people had gathered in the house was to discuss the inheritance. If that was the case, It could only mean one thing. The Family Head's time was running out. But to discuss the inheritance while he was still alive...
How bold of them.
Julian Valemont and his wife, Victoria Valemont, exchanged glances of discomfort, as though the mere mention of the topic was taboo. It was something they had likely been trying to avoid
Julian rubbed his temple, as if a headache was about to form. He spoke with slight disappointment.
"So, it's come to this? Fighting over the inheritance while the Family Head still breathes?"
Elena Valemont smiled faintly, though the gesture never reached her eyes.
"Dear brother, Father will die one day. We can't ignore this matter forever."
Julian's tone hardened as he shot back.
