Chapter Three.
The next morning, Jerrica and Kimber were seated in the lawyer's office waiting to hear what their father left them. The lawyer looked at them, "We're waiting on one more to arrive. I will give him five minutes to get here or your father's Will that he left in my care will be read without him."
The door opened to reveal his secretary. "I called him about ten minutes ago and his secretary stated that he doesn't give a rat's ass about any Will."
"Very well, I will proceed with this," the lawyer said as he read their father's will to them both. "I, Emmett Benton, declare this is the last and final testament to what I wish to have done to the property that I own after my passing. All previous made Wills and codicils as of this date June 10th, 1979; are now null and void. If my wife Jacqui lives, she will get full custody of our two children Jerrica and Kimber, Starlight House, Starlight Music and Starlight Drive-In. But if she passed before I do, the properties and all bank accounts associated with the properties stated above goes to my children Jerrica and Kimber Benton. There is no one else to get the properties but my children and my wife. I, Emment Benton do declare this to be true and factual."
Jerrica looked at the lawyer. "He gave us both Starlight Music?"
"Starlight House and Starlight Drive-In as well." the lawyer stated. "Both of you are the legit owners of the properties that your father owned before he died."
Jerrica turned to look at Kimber. "This should burn Eric's feathers when he reads this. Can we have a copy of this Will, please?"
"Of course," He stood up and went to the copier that was just outside the door and copied the Will. He handed it to them after he placed the copy of the Will into a manila envelope. "So what are you going to do with it?"
"We're going to oust Eric Raymond from the company." Jerrica said. They had it planned to appear at his so called Battle of The Bands and probably win the contest and if Eric complains about it, just show him the envelope and he'll have to deal with it. "Is there anymore Wills that my father wrote?"
"Actually, this was the only one that he did. There is nothing else that he did as in a Will." The lawyer said, as he pulled out another sheet from the folder that said Emmett Benton. "Oh but you may want to bring this along with you. It is a Bill of Sale of Eric Raymond's shares of Starlight Music from one Eric Raymond signed the same day that your father did the Will."
Jerrica and Kimber both looked at him and said, "What did you say?"
"Your father had Eric Raymond sign a Bill of Sale selling his shares of Starlight Music to him and paid him about twenty thousand dollars for them. But your dad got sick right after that and it looks like he never really told Eric that he was hereby fired." The lawyer stated.
Jerrica and Kimber looked at each other and smiled. "Eric will not be pleased at all about this information."
They smiled as they left the lawyer's office. They couldn't believe what their father had done to protect Starlight Music, they figured that he knew that Eric wouldn't let them co-run it along side of him so he did what he did to get the company away from him.
"I'm glad that Eric didn't decide that he was too important not to come to this reading of the Will as he doesn't know that he no longer is a co-owner of Starlight Music." Jerrica said. "Now, we have to wait till this weekend to surprise Eric at his so called Battle of the Bands prelim and oust him as co-owner of our company."
Kimber smiled knowing that they are the owners of their father's companies one hundred percent with no one else standing by them telling them that they're making a mistake in hiring this group or that group. "Outrageous! Come on, sis, lets' go tell the others the good news, that we are the legit owners of the company!"
