Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

S21 54. New Terms Morris nodded. He raised his hand pointing to the empty seat. “Could you please sit quietly, Ma'am? | can’t focus on reading if you're standing all the time.” Melanie quickly took her position. With her hands on her lap, she put on a smile that looked scary. “Please continue, Sir.” “As we know, the late Rowan Harper had many assets, including property.” Frank's brow furrowed. “Sorry, Mr. Morris. Hadn't my grandfather sold all his property last year? As far as | know, Grandpa switched it to stocks.” Louis’ mouth suddenly rounded. “No wonder Mommy has a lot of shares. It turns out Grandpa bought it from the sale of all his apartments!” Morris smiled at Louis's chatter. “Not all. There are two left. In N City and K City.” Melanie's eyes suddenly lit up. As far as she could remember, th apartment his father-in-law owned was never small. “Are those apartments for me?” “Based on this will, Melanie Harris is entitled to the apartment in N City with one condition.” Morris emphasized his tone, “She must live there.” The curve of Melanie's lips shrunk. “I have to live there?” Her eyes widened. Morris pointed his finger, indicating that he was not finished with the sentence just now. +25 BONUS “And manage it. If within three months there is a consecutive decline in price or quality, the asset will be withdrawn and handed over to the next party. And if Melanie Harris leaves the apartment for more than a week or even moves elsewhere, the asset is also transferred to that party.” “Who else is the next party?” Louis tilted his head. “Sorry, Young Master. | can’t answer that now.” Suddenly, Melanie waved her hand. ‘There won't be the next one! The apartment was right in my hands.” Morris nodded. In his heart, he was grateful that Melanie accepted that decision. However, when he was about to take a breath to sp speak again, the woman interrupted him. “What about the apartment in K City? Why doesn't it become mine?” Blinking casually, Morris moved his gaze to Philip. The others also looked at the young man. “What is it, Mr. Morris? Why are you looking at me like that?” “Nothing. It's just that | didn’t expect that you would be full of surprises.” The twins’ mouths rounded. “Is that apartment for Philip?” Their fingers pointed at the assistant. Barbara's eyebrows rose high, just like her mother’s. “Who is Philip to this family?” the girl sighed, suddenly tense. Barbara knew that everyone had once been shocked about Jeremy's true identity. She didn’t want that to happen to Philip either. It would be complicated if the man turned out to be her brother even though they weren't blood related. Suddenly, Melanie laughed and waved her hands. “Impossible. On +25 BONUS what basis does my father-in-law set aside an inheritance for a t basis does my father-in law set a stranger? That's not possible.” Morris cleared his throat. “Because Melanie Harris could not claim. Rowan Harper's gold, the asset fell into the hands of Diana Johnson.” “Diana Johnson? Who's that?” Melanie's eyes narrowed. While the others were silently waiting for an explanation from the notary, Philip was wide-eyed. His open mouth had difficulty forming words. “Diana Johnson?” Frank glanced. “You know her?” “She was the woman who took care of our orphanage, the person who sent me to school and sent my job application to Savior.” Barbara secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she confirmed her suspicion was wrong, Morris said, “Diana Johnson is the ex-wife of the late Rowan Harper. It was not without reason that she sent you here.” Philip's furrowed brows deepened. “What's reason?” “I don’t know the details either, but what is clear is that the late Rowan wanted you to take his grandchildren and great-grandch to meet Diana Johnson. They will read the will and hand over the inheritance. In return, you deserve an apartment in K City.” “Does it mean we and Uncle Jeremy have to come too?” Emily's eye lit up. Morris sighed in exasperation. “Yes, Young Lady.” “Woohoo!” Louis raised his fists as high as he could. “That would be so exciting! Next holiday, let's not go to Bali. Let's meet Grandma Diana.” “You don't know where Grandma Diana is, Louis.” Emily narrowed her +25 BONUS eyes. “She could be in this city. That's not a holiday.” Louis’ lips pursed. “Philip, where does she live?" Philip formed a smile. “In K City.” “Is it the place where the apartment located?” Louis’ shoulders. dropped. “Yeah, right there.” Emily immediately pouted. “Mr. Morris, should Philip also live there and manage it?” Without anyone knowing, Barbara held her breath. Her hands clenched into fists gripping her dress. She wasn't ready to part with

“Wait a minute! This is really unfair. Why are Philip's responsibilities so much lighter? And arentdhec OTT ar Merten RERY Bigger? Additionally, he is not part of Harper.

Hearing those protests, Morris let out a tired sigh. He opened his again and took out a document with a similar cover. “A spare will again?” Louis represented everyone's amazement. Morris smiled slightly. “Because Mrs. Melanie doesn't agree, there is one condition that she must fulfill if she wants the asset addressed to Philip.” Melanie let out a laugh. “I know it. My father-in-law is not someone who carelessly distributes his wealth.” +25 BONUS The others looked at her while shaking their heads. However, Melanie felt no shame. She even raised her chin. “Tell me what the term is, Mr. Morris. | can definitely do it.” “If Melanie Harris insists on claiming both apartments,” Morris suddenly stopped and examined the writing more closely, “she will. have to admit her crimes in court and accept the punishment gracefully. Only when she gets out of prison can she claim both. apartments on the list.” Everyone was stunned. Morris didn’t even blink at the woman. “What crime have you committed, Madam?” Melanie didn't answer. She was frozen, without daring to blink or breathe. “Mom?” Barbara sighed, breaking the silence. “Why is the condition like that? You didn’t commit a crime, right?” Melanie swallowed hard. Cold sweat began to bead on her forehead. | didn't do anything,” she answered flatly. “If your crime is serious, you could be in danger of losing everything, Madam.” Melanie's body started to tremble. While holding her neck, she t catch her breath. “That condition is ridiculous,” she hissed, barely audible. “How could someone like me break the rules?” “Now that | think, Mom had the heart to put chemo drugs in Kara food,” Frank said quietly. “Have you ever done anything more heinous than that, Mom?” “Grandma, please tell me it's not true,” Emily shook her head slowly. Her two hands were clenched in front of her chest. “I don’t want to have a cruel grandmother.” Suddenly, Melanie slammed her fist on the table. “Stop it!” +25 BONUS Her eyes started to turn red and wet. “How dare you accuse me of being a criminal? | am your parent, your grandmother.
