Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Connor, who originally had no hope of inheriting the inheritance, instantly felt his hope reignited after hearing Thomas’s explanation.
He did not expect that even then, Thomas still had a trump card that he had not used. This was indeed beyond Connor’s expectations.
“Mr. McDonald, I can’t tell you what this trump card is yet!” Thomas smiled mysteriously at Connor.
“Why can’t you tell me? Are you trying to trick me?” Connor did not believe that Thomas still had any trump cards he had not used because the matter had already reached a dead-end.
“Mr. McDonald, I am not trying to trick you. It’s just that I’m not sure if this trump card can be used, so 1 can’t tell you what it is. But don’t worry, if this trump card can really be used, then our chances of winning today won’t be one percent, but fifty percent!” Thomas said to Connor seriously.
“What trump card is so powerful?” Connor could not help but mutter softly.
Thomas looked at Connor with a mysterious smile and didn’t say anything.
“By the way, Thomas, there’s one thing 1 don’t understand. Why are you still helping me at this point? 1 don’t usually treat you well. Why don’t you side with Yannick now? Why are you still on my side?” Connor asked Thomas doubtfully.
“When this is over, and you are still the heir, I will naturally tell you why I want to help you!” Thomas replied mysteriously.
“Damn, you love keeping me in suspense all day!” Connor cursed with a dissatisfied expression.
Thomas chuckled and did not say anything.
“Mr. McDonald and Mr. Morgan, the video results are out. Please come back to the conference room!”
At this moment, a lawyer walked out of the conference room and said respectfully to Connor and Thomas.
“Yes!” Thomas nodded lightly, then looked at Connor and said, “Mr. McDonald, let’s go in!”
“Right!” Connor agreed and walked into the meeting room.
When Connor and Thomas returned to the conference room, Yannick and the others had already gone in.
“Mr. Lozano, it’s such an obvious matter. Don’t waste your time here. Can’t you disqualify the kid as the heir?” Yannick asked Jonas aggressively.
“Mr. Lee, Mr. McDonald is the only heir designated by the former chairman, so we must respect Mr. McDonald. Even if Mr. McDonald really violated the rules of the will, it can only be carried out under the circumstances of conclusive evidence, so please wait a moment!” Jonas replied seriously.
“Haha…” After hearing this, Yannick sneered disdainfully and said, “Now that the video is on the table, do you still think the evidence is insufficient?”
Jonas glanced at Yannick indifferently, then walked to the podium at the front of the conference room and said in an orderly manner, “Just now, after our legal team’s careful appraisal, it was confirmed that the video provided by Mr. Lee has not been edited and can be used as evidence!”
When everyone heard Jonas’s announcement, they all looked up at Jonas. In an instant, the entire conference room fell silent.
“According to Mr. Steven Lee’s will, if Mr. McDonald wants to inherit the inheritance, he must marry Ms. Freya Phillips and sincerely make Ms. Freya Phillips fall in love with Mr. McDonald!
“However, to prevent Mr. McDonald from using improper means to lure Ms. Freya Phillips into marriage, the will also states that before Mr. McDonald marries Ms. Freya Phillips, he is not allowed to reveal his identity and any information about his inheritance to Ms. Freya Phillips!
“If Mr. McDonald violates the will’s provisions, he will be disqualified from inheriting the inheritance. If there is a dispute, it will need to be re-negotiated by the lawyer team to determine whether Mr. McDonald is qualified to continue inheriting the inheritance!”
After Jonas finished reading this passage, he looked up at Connor and asked Connor softly, “Mr. McDonald, when you inherited the inheritance, Mr. Morgan explained the rules in the will to you, right?”
“Yes!” Connor looked at Jonas and nodded.
“Good!” Jonas took a deep breath, then looked at everyone and said, “Just now, our legal team also conducted a technical analysis of the video provided by Mr. Lee and confirmed the authenticity of this video. In the video, Mr. McDonald’s actions have violated the provisions of the inheritance contract, so our legal team unanimously believes that Mr. McDonald has violated the will and is no longer qualified to continue inheriting the inheritance!”
After hearing that, Yannick smiled proudly. After planning for so long, his scheme finally succeeded.
“Mr. Connor, you are no longer the heir of Mr. Steven Lee, so from now on, our legal team will verify all your expenses during this period. You need to repay all your expenses during this period. 1 hope you can cooperate with our work…” “Wait a minute!” Before Jonas could finish, Thomas suddenly shouted.
Jonas turned to look at Thomas, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He asked Thomas softly, “Mr. Morgan, do you have any objections?”
“When that incident happened last night, I was also with Mr. McDonald. Connor exposed his identity because someone was deliberately accusing him!”
Thomas said this at the risk of offending his future master, Yannick Lee.
If he could change the opinion of the lawyers today and make Connor the heir again, the situation would be fine. However, if he failed, Yannick would never let Thomas go.
After hearing Thomas’s words, Yannick couldn’t help but turn and look at Thomas, a trace of viciousness flashing in his eyes.
“What do you mean by that?” Jonas frowned and asked.
“Last night, someone deliberately kidnapped Ms. Freya Phillips and threatened to scratch her face to force Mr. McDonald to reveal his identity. If Mr. McDonald doesn’t reveal his identity, then Ms. Phillips would be disfigured. However, if he made a move, then Mr. McDonald would expose his identity. This was a trap, so I don’t think we can remove Mr. McDonald’s eligibility as the heir just because of this!” Thomas explained righteously.
The lawyers, Yannick, and the others in the conference room were stunned after hearing Thomas’s explanation.
After all, Thomas had been with Steven for the longest time, and Steven trusted Thomas the most when he was alive. Therefore, Thomas’s words still carried a lot of weight..
