Chapter 337 Ste Arrives


    “What is it?” asked Vivian, puzzled.


    “My father’s will,” replied Cecilia..


    Before his death, Regas was scared that hispany would fall into the hands of his useless son, so he discreetly drafted an additional will.


    The contents of the will allocated one billion to Cecilia and stated that Cecilia was entitled to inherit all of his remaining assets, including Smith Corporation. Whether she chose to ept this inheritance or not was entirely up to her.


    The will had always been in Cecilia’s possession. Yet, she had never once revealed it. If she did, the will that was originally in Pa’s hands would lose its legal validity.


    Back then, she had just graduated and had no clue on how to run apany, let alone think about seizing the assets from her mother and brother.


    Furthermore, even if she revealed the will, it wouldn’t be acknowledged if she had no one backing her up.


    Things were different now. Cecilia was no longer the soft–hearted girl she used to be. If Pa and the others pushed her too hard, she wasn’t afraid to burn all bridges.


    Upon hearing the news, Vivian was in disbelief. “So that’s what happened. But now, the Smith Corporation is no more…”


    “What if I want to pursue the case?” asked Cecilia..


    From the side, Jonathah said, “Then they must return it. Even if they don’t, they will surely pay a hefty price.”


    Cecilia gently patted Jonathan’s head.


    “I don’t really want her to return the assets. I just want to scare them a bit and make them think twice about their actions.”


    Vivian hadn’t expected that Jonathan would react faster than her. She couldn’t resist pinching Jonathan’s check.


    Immediately, Jonathan dodged away in disgust.


    While the two were yfully messing around, the doorbell rang.


    Vivian looked over with a puzzled expression. “We didn’t order any takeout. Who could be ringing the doorbell? I’ll до check.”


    After wearing her slippers, she stood up to check who was at the door. Peering through the peephole, she saw the person standing outside the door was wearing a mask and a cap.


    “Who are you?”


    Ste took off her mask.


    She had asked around before finding out that Cecilia was in Tud and was temporarily staying with Vivian.


    As the two of them were living in a rundown apartment building, Ste spent a long time looking for them while being scared that she would be discovered by others.


    “Ste!” Vivian looked shocked. However, she didn’t open the door and instead returned to the living room to inform Cecilia.


    Cecilia frowned. “Why is she here?”


    Ever since Ste’s video was exposed a few months ago, Cecilia and Vivian had heard nothing from her.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    “I’m not sure. Let me go and ask.”


    “Okay.”


    Pretending not to understand, Jonathan asked Cecilia, “Mommy, is she the woman who used to bully you?”


    Cecilia was puzzled. She had never mentioned anything about Ste to Jonathan.


    “Who told you that?”


    Jonathan froze, thinking he had almost exposed himself.


    “Oh, Ms. Kennedy told me about it when she was drunk. She mentioned that Ste was a mean woman who used to bully you a lot.”


    Cecilia dispelled her doubts and embraced him. “Don’t overthink it. No one can bully me now.”


    As they were talking. Vivian informed Cecilia that Ste hade to apologize and wished to see her.


    Cecilia told Jonathan to return to his room first.


    After Jonathan returned to his room, Ste entered. At a nce, she saw Jonathan’s small back, which felt somewhat familiar. For a moment, she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.


    Averting her gaze, Ste looked again at Cecilia, who was seated on the sofa. Cecilia still held that air of superiority, her face filled with calmness.


    She just couldn’t bring herself to kneel in front of Cecilia.


    Just at that moment, Jocelyn’s impatient voice sounded from the headphones she was wearing.
