His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 2: You Have to Get Married to Inherit It 

After the announcement from the will, the Sullivans were in chaos.

"How, how could that be?"

Quince furrowed his eyebrows together. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Is that true?"

Lewis, who announced the will, then proceeded to show the video Alistair specifically left to testify the legibility of the will.

Other than the successor of the will, it was also stated that If any of the Sullivan family were to object to his decision, they would be directly removed and kicked out.

All the Sullivans work in the Sullivan Company.

If any of these people were thrown out of the family, then they really knew nothing about the business.

The guests who heard it somehow understood why Alistair did all this.

It was to catch his son, Quince off guard.

It was such a power move.

Even in his death, Alistair was sly as a fox.

But why did he choose Melody as someone who would inherit his property? Isn't she the Sullivan Family's disaster star?

Lewis couldn't understand her as he saw how calm she was.

That was a first for him.

But that wasn't important right now.

His sole mission for today was to carry out his late employer's wish.

He placed the will in front of Melody and held out a pen for her to take.

"Miss Sullivan, if there are no objections from you, please sign here.After you sign, it will be official.All of the Sullivan's property will be yours."

Melody let the pen stay in Atty.Lewis hand.

It was close to her, held out in the space between her and the lawyer.

She noticed something on the will, and she frowned.

She looked up at Atty.Lewis and pointed at the content.

"What does this mean?"

Thankfully, Atty.Lewis was prepared to answer every question accurately.

"This is a necessary condition for you to accept, so you can inherit the will.Mr.Alistair has made an agreement with Mr.Harrison, the heirs of the two families will be joined together in marriage.The will takes effect on your wedding day"

Another wave of shock went throughout the hall.

The heir of the Harrisons, isn't that Seth Harrison? The Sullivans were only a part of the top 3 powerful families, but the Harrisons are the head.

Sean was the only heir to the Harrison's business empire and was now the richest man in C City.

Melody's answer was even more shocking than the news.

"No" She said it quickly, without even blinking.

It was the first time that Zach had ever seen someone completely unmoved by the offer they had just been given.

Finally, he understood why Alistair left him instructions to follow after what would happen.

The old man didn't go senile after all, he was just considering all of his choices carefully.

Zach nearly smiled.

Alistair was truly a great man.

Everybody was confused by Melody’s behavior.

She, in front of so many people, rejected Seth Harrison.

Seth Harrison was every girl's dream in C City, how could she have rejected him? She was being way too bold for someone like her! It was such a coincidence that Seth attended the funeral.

Everyone seemed to remember and aside from Melody, their eyes were on him as well.

Although it was risky to share around gossip about the Harrisons, it was still tempting not to engage in such affairs.

He sat in the first row of the pews.

The collar of his slim black shirt was slightly open, revealing his fair white skin.

But it was really his face that was an eye-catcher.

His face looked like it had been carved by deities themselves, with charming and attractive facial features.

His eyes that were deep and lulling looked uninterested.

It was too intimidating to match up to, so people usually avoided looking at him.

Everyone waited for him to react.

The heir of the Harrison Family was known for being merciless, and quick to decide his victim's fate.

However, his expression only shifted for a second.

He raised his gaze slightly to look at Melody and left that as his response.

Their eyes met and Melody realized who he was.

She could hardly care less.

Her cold eyes caught Seth's attention.

Melody was the first person to look at him directly in the eye, and she showed no fear while doing so.

It suddenly became interesting.

Now he wanted to see what was so special about the heir that the old fox Alistair had chosen.

Under the pressure of the public that was watching him and a brewing controversy, Zach then proceeded to take out another piece of material that Alistair had left behind.

"Miss Sullivan?” Zach also conjured up earphones for her to use.

"This is a recording left by Alistair.He hopes that your mind will be made up after listening to it"

Melody, who already planned to leave , couldn't deny it.She put the earphone buds into her ears to hear what the recording had to say.Her frown only deepened as she listened to it.

The recording ended, and Melody returned the earphones to Atty.Lewis.

"What a pain in the neck."

She then picked up the pen that was offered to her and then used it to sign the will.

When he saw her sign the will Atty Lewis silently let out a sigh of relief.

Alistair Sullivan was the greatest and had incredible foresight.

After signing, Melody was taken away by Atty.Lewis to talk more about the will.

The noise in the funeral hall only got louder, and the members of the Sullivan family only looked even more disturbed.This was a lot to take in and everyone was anticipating the turns of this drama!

"How can a sheep girl from the countryside be a match to the rich wolves in the Sullivans? Even if Melody does get the inheritance, she won't be able to keep it well."

Someone from the crowd said.

"That may not be the case,'' Someone else refuted him, "If she takes action and learns, then it'll be a different story."

As he spoke, everyone's gaze slowly fell onto the man who exuded the strong aura but none of them could look at him directly.

As expected, with all that had happened, everything was unknown.
