The elder's tone was incredibly solemn. No one at the table dared to say a word. Even if the brothers were miserable that another person had suddenly appeared for the inheritance, they could not say anything either.

Qiutong was not one to mess with. If the shares fell into her hands, it would be extremely difficult to get it from her. Worse still, if she had intention to fight for the rights to inherit the company, that would make things harder...

The brothers both looked like they were about to face a huge adversary while Tianxin seemed absent-minded. Only Jennie was the most relaxed at the table.

Qiutong was taking in everyone's reactions...

"Okay, Lawyer, please announce the will!"

The moment he said that, everyone found themselves sitting up straight.

The lawyer flipped the document in his hand and started to read, "The Will of Mr. Kim. Due to his old age and his concern that he might suddenly fail in health, to avoid any dispute over his inheritance, he has written this will and his assets are as follows: Kim International Private Limited Company's 51% in shares, foreign trust funds..."

After the lawyer listed out the elder's assets, he started to go into the distribution of it. "The three estates and two shop lots in Imperial as well as the foreign trust funds will go to the granddaughter, Krystal!"

"What!? Are you crazy?! To give an outsider this much inheritance!" Yao was the first to slap the table and stand up. He could not believe that the old man had given half of his stable property to Krystal, a granddaughter who was not even blood-related. Also, that foreign trust fund was not a small sum of money.

"What outsider? krystal is my daughter, Brother-in-law. Do you need me to repeat it for you?" Chaerin asked with a sharp look.

"Daughter, my ass! She's just a country girl you had carried home wrongly. My two other blood-related daughters aren't allowed to be present today, so on what basis can your outsider get our Kim family's inheritance?!"

"On the basis that she was raised by me myself! We don't even know which cheap woman gave birth to your daughters, so on what grounds can they appear here to tarnish our Kim family?"

...

Opposite her, Jennie, who maintained the attitude of a third party, had a sudden change in expression. The unyielding attitude of a mother protecting her daughter from Chaerin took her by surprise.

Hmph! She had long told herself that Chaerin was just a stranger to her, yet why had her heart still experience inexplicable pain when she watched her protect Krystal so fiercely?

Jennie closed her eyes lightly and soon returned to normal moments later as if nothing had happened.

No one had noticed Jennie's subtle change in emotions. No one but Qiutong beside Jennie who was taking everything in.

This child... It had only been a few years since they met, yet she had changed so much. Not just in terms of looks, but more so her temperament. She was far calmer and more mature than those her age. There was not the faintest shadow of that weak girl from many years ago...

At the table, Chairman, Chaerin, and Yao were turning the room upside down with their argument.

At last, the elder had to knock the table harshly to quiet them down. "Everyone, shut up! Krystal is indeed not blood-related to us, but humans are living things and we cannot be merciless. She has been my granddaughter for more than 20 years, so I consider these my dowry for her! No one is allowed to say another word!"

Yao slapped a fist on the table in fury.
