Chapter 339 Showing Him The Will


    A maid soon opened the door to the mansion. When she saw Cecilia’s in clothes, a flicker of disdain crossed her face.


    “Are you Ms. Smith?”


    “Yes. I’m looking for Pa and Magnus.”


    The maid led them inside and, as they made their way to the living room, she informed Cecilia, “Mdm. Pa is out for tea, but Mr. Magnus is at home.”


    Mdm. Pa…


    Mr. Magnus…


    It seemed that over the years, Pa and Magnus had been doing quite well.


    In the living room, Magnus sat waiting, dressed in an expensive, tailored suit. A Patek Philippe watch worth a million adorned his wrist, and his cufflinks alone were worth hundreds of thousands.


    As Cecilia entered, he was holding a renowned world–famous painting, admiring its beauty.


    It was clear Magnus didn’t grasp the subtleties of the painting. He casually asked the person who delivered it, “How much is this painting worth?”


    The man, eager to please, replied, “Our boss spent a hundred million on it.”


    “One hundred million. Sure, I’ll take it. Let your boss know I’ll handle the backlog of goods he’s got on his hands.”


    “All right.”


    After receiving the answer, the person who delivered the painting quickly made his exit.


    Magnus, radiating an air of superiority, casually tossed the painting to the maid. “Put this in the treasure vault,” he ordered, not bothering to acknowledge Cecilia’s presence.


    Cecilia didn’t care, she now realized the significance of everything she saw in Magnus, understanding the importance of the will she had in her possession.


    Sven was stationed just outside the living room.


    When they arrived, Magnus had already been informed by the housekeeper. He took his time, then finally turned his gaze toward his sister. As he approached, a hint of mockery flickered in his eyes.


    “You’re not considering divorcing Nathaniel for that man, are you?”


    The news of Cecilia’s divorce from Nathaniel had be so notorious that it seemed like everyone in the world knew about it, and naturally, Magnus was also aware.


    Like Pa, he saw Cecilia as utterly foolish, beyond hope.


    How could she have the audacity to dismiss the Rainsworth family as if they were nothing?


    But Cecilia didn’t respond, her eyes were cold and indifferent. “Withdraw thewsuit immediately!”


    Magnus had seen this kind of resolve in his sister once before–thest time she had tried to take her own life.


    He couldn’t help but scoff, “Why should I?”


    Cecilia silently handed Magnus the will their father had left behind.


    “This is the will Dad drafted behind yours and Mdm. Pa’s back.”


    Initially, Magnus was taken aback, but as he read the will, his eyes widened in shock.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    His father had actually made ns to transfer all his businesses to Cecilia.


    The will had not only their father’s signature but also an official seal and thumbprint, proving its authenticity.


    Without a word, Magnus ripped the will to shreds. “How could this be? How could our father leave everything to you, a deaf person?”


    “That’s just a photocopy. If you enjoy tearing things up, I can print more for you.” She pulled out several more copies of the will and threw them in front of Magnus.


    Of course, Magnus didn’t waste time tearing up the will further. His rebellious streak, which had been evident since childhood, took over as he quickly grabbed Cecilia by the neck.


    “You b*tch!”


    Cecilia was unperturbed.


    Since her return to the Smith family, Magnus had never treated her like his real sister.


    Pa had always insisted that Cecilia was a burden, a cripple, and unworthy of being his sister.


    As a child, Pa had always favored Magnus, letting him hit Cecilia without any consequences. This unchecked indulgence helped shape Magnus into the brutal individual he had be, resorting to violence as his primary means of dealing with problems.


    “I suddenly regret it now,” Cecilia confessed, her voice weak and breathless as she was being choked.


    Upon hearing this, Magnus cracked a smile, “Good to know you regret threatening me. I could. beat you senseless when we were kids, and I can still do it now.”

    “I regret not bringing out the will sooner,” Cecilia continued.


    In an instant, Magnus was filled with rage, his hand instinctively rising to strike Cecilia.


    But in the next moment, he was forcefully hoisted up. He found himself being kicked out of the living room by Sven, a spray of fresh blood spewing from his mouth.
