Chapter 1379: 346: What Kind of Person Is It! _2 Chapter 1379: 346: What Kind of Person Is It! _2 “What's the matter?” Viola Thompson slightly turned her gaze.
Nathaniel went on to say, “Lady Thompson has passed away.”
Upon hearing these words, Viola froze for a moment, then asked, “When did this happen?”
“Last night.” Nathaniel answered.
There were no significant emotional changes on Viola's face.
“Send a wreath.” A moment later, Viola continued speaking.
Respect is due to the deceased.
No matter what Lady Thompson had done in her lifetime, at this moment, she had reduced to a pile of dust.
What's there to fuss about with dust?
“Alright.” Nathaniel nodded, then said, “I'm afraid there's going to be chaos at the Thompson Clan.”
The three brothers of the Thompson Clan were not harmonious to begin with. With Lady Thompson gone, there would undoubtedly be an uproar in the Thompson Clan.
It was expected that Viola would not respond, but surprisingly, she said at this moment, “Thompson has the capacity to bear the weight.”
Nathaniel squinted, “Although Thompson is quite capable, she is ultimately a child…”
Upon hearing this, Viola smiled lightly without speaking.
Thompson Clan.
Ava Kamani and Zoe Fedener contacted Lady Thompson's private attorney, Maxwell Eliot, to inquire if Lady Thompson had previously written a will.
Upon hearing this, Maxwell nodded, “Yes, Lady Thompson had written a will long ago, where an inheritor was designated.”
Upon hearing this, Ava Kamani and Zoe Fedener showed excitement across their faces.
Especially Zoe Fedener.
She knew that Lady Thompson wouldn't have been so careless as to not write a will.
Although Caleb Thompson was the legitimate grandson in the family, Elijah Thompson was capable.
Moreover, Elijah Thompson was very heartful.
For fairness and for reasons, Lady Thompson should have given the position of the head of the family to Caleb Thompson.
Zoe Fedener concealed her excitement and continued, “Quick, Attorney Maxwell, announce who my mom chose as the inheritor!”
Maxwell Eliot took out Lady Thompson's will, “Before passing away, Lady Thompson specifically instructed me to announce the will in front of all the people from the Thompson Clan.”
With only three women in the Thompson Clan now, the will naturally couldn't be announced.
Ava Kamani nodded, “My mom has considered very thoroughly. After all, the issue of succession is not minor. What if someone doesn't recognize my mom's will?”
Hearing this, Zoe Fedener almost burst out laughing.
Someone not recognizing the will?
What did Ava Kamani mean by that?
Did she really think that Elijah Thompson would be designated as the inheritor?
Such a statement is nothing but a delusion.
Zoe Fedener looked at Ava Kamani and conveyed a double entendre, “My sister-in-law is right, we should announce the will in front of everyone. In case someone tries to deny it, they can't escape in front of everyone.”
Having said that, Zoe Fedener continued, “Sister-in-law, you won't be the one to deny it, will you?”
Ava Kamani said, “As long as it's mom's will, regardless of who the heir is, I will respect mom's choice. Zoe, it's your turn…”
Zoe Fedener replied directly, “Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person!”
Ava Kamani nodded, “That's good.”
Looking at the two women who were already arguing endlessly, Rosalind Rohr was filled with mockery.
A moment later, the silent Rosalind Rohr finally spoke, “Then I'll gather everyone in the hall now.”
Upon hearing this, Zoe Fedener glanced at Rosalind Rohr and sneered internally.
What does the inheritance have to do with Rosalind Rohr?
She is too proactive!
She wouldn't think that Lady Thompson would give the position of inheritor to Vicki, would she?
Although this was what Zoe Fedener thought, she still looked at Rosalind Rohr with a smile, “Rosalind, thank you for your efforts.”
Rosalind Rohr said, “It's not a hassle, it's my duty.”
After all, the whole Thompson Clan was about to be hers, what could be more tiresome?
Soon, Rosalind Rohr gathered everyone from the Thompson Clan together.
Including the friends and relatives who had come to pay their respects.
She wanted everyone to witness this.
Zoe Fedener and Ava Kamani were both very pleased with Rosalind Rohr's arrangement.
At this time, the more people, the better.
Maxwell Eliot stood in the leading position and began to read Lady Thompson's will.
“Jade Ring Zhang, female, 93 years old. These days, I deeply feel that my body is not as good as before, declining day by day, so I called Attorney Maxwell Eliot to draw up a will.
The entire hall was extremely quiet.
Besides Maxwell Eliot's voice, no other sound could be heard.
Everyone's eyes were tightly fixed on Maxwell Eliot.
Especially Ava Kamani and Zoe Fedener, they hardly dared to breathe, for fear of missing the most critical news.
Even the two brothers, Caleb Thompson and Elijah Thompson, were fully alert.
Caleb Thompson looked at Vicki who was besides him, “Vicki, don't worry, if I become the head of the family, on the day of your wedding, I will definitely give you an extra portion of your dowry.”
