1 week later....
Jan. 22, 2053.
It was the day of the unveiling.
Lillian could talk but she couldn't walk properly. Lillian walked slowly unto the podium.
Lillian: "Good morning, everyone. I have been working on this restaurant for 1½ years. In 2051, I had already opened my second restaurant in Sicily, because I am trying to open my restaurants in different places, but last week we had a little problem with the kitchen. The restaurant will open the end of March. You don't know how happy I am to create another restaurant. Thank you."
After the ribbon cutting, Lillian had stomach pains and she went back to the hospital, where they kept the baby on close monitor.
Feb. 19, 2053.
1 month later...
Lillian was discharged from the hospital, 100% better. Nobody knew.
Her Sicilian Restaurant employees were having a meeting. Everyone was astonished when they saw Lillian. Leon, a new employee guided her to her seat.
Lillian: "How are my babies?"
Everyone ran and hugged her.
Sharon: "Mrs. Banner, we were talking about how we are going to fix the kitchen. We understand that since we just started paying insurance, we have paid only one month payment."
Lillian: "How did you know that?"
Sharon: "We called the insurance agent. She said that if we agreed to use the insurance to pay for the kitchen, instead of our insurance premium being $50,000 and $2,083 every month, it'll be $65,000 and we'll have to pay $2,708.34."
Lillian: "Hmm, we'll do it!"
Sharon: "Wonderful! I am going to call them."
**phone rings**
Lillian: "Hello?"
Agent: "Hello, Mrs. Banner? This is Victoria Grimes, your late aunt's life agent."
Lillian: "Oh! Hi. How may I help you??"
Agent: "I-I was wondering if you can come over to my office I would like to discuss something."
Lillian: "Oh. Okay."

Lillian drove behind Victoria's car in the driveway. She walked the office where she saw the receptionist.
Lillian: "Hi! Umm, Ms. Grimes asked for me to come."
Just then, Victoria came walking out.
Victoria: "Hi Lillian! Come inside!"
Lillian walked inside her office.
Lillian: "So you wanted to see me?"
Victoria: "Oh, yes. I have 2 things to discuss with you. Firstly, I was going through my cabinet of wills, and realized I had found 2 wills in my drawer under your family tree. Your father Spencer's and--
Lillian: "Wait. He had a will?! He's been dead for 26 years!"
Victoria: "Anastasia didn't tell you?!"
Lillian: "NO SHE DIDN'T! "
Lillian then calmed down.
Lillian: "Well, what was on it?"
Victoria: "See for your self!"
Lillian opened the envelope. It was dated February 23rd, 2027.
It stated,
"I, Spencer Marcus Grayson, will donate 35% of my proceeds to charity. And 65% of my proceeds will go to my daughter, Lillian. And nothing will go to my soon to be ex-wife, Lucille Grayson.
Signed,
Spencer.M.Grayson.Lillian: "They were getting a divorce?!"
Victoria: "Oh yes. Your mother went to Las Vegas for a convention and ended up spending $4.4 million dollars! Well, your father was furious and had left her. He was going to Angelica's house to tell her that they were getting a divorce the other day, however he didn't make it. That was the day he died. You see your mother was trying to get him to forgive her. But when she realized that she was unsuccessful and she hired a stunt woman to kill your father."
Lillian: "What?!"
Victoria: "Please let me finish. She hired a Russian stunt woman. She pretended as if she was a terrorist. However, your mother wasn't supposed to get hurt, but she did."
Lillian: "So, technically, my mother killed my father?!"
Victoria: "I am sorry, honey."
Lillian: "So, she needs more time in prison."
Victoria: "I went there last night, but unfortunately, she had died."
Lillian: "What?! How?!"
Victoria: "She had a heart attack, and while she had the heart attack, she had a stroke.
Lillian cried because of how her father died. Victoria hugged her gently.
Lillian stopped crying.
Victoria: "Would you like to see Angelica's will?"
Lillian nodded. Victoria gave her this paper.
It was dated Oct 5, 2047.
It stated,
I, Angelica Grace Pierce donate 10% of my proceeds to charity. 55% will be shared between my 5 children. Lillian will receive my jewelry and 40%.
Signed,
Angelica Pierce.Lillian: "Thank you for showing me this, Victoria. What was the other thing you wanted to tell me?"
Victoria: "Oh, yes! I know this is not the best time, but since Angelica and Lucille is dead, I have no clients."
Lillian: "I would love to be your client. Um, do you do restaurants?"
Victoria: "Why, yes!"
Lillian: "I need you come to my restaurant tomorrow. We'll talk more."
Lillian was about to leave.
Victoria: "Lillian? In Lucille/Anastasia's will, you get 70% of the proceeds. The remaining 30% will be for her husband, Jonathan."
Lillian nodded and left. As she walked out, she looked at her watch. It said 7:00.
Lillian(thought): Crap! I was in there for 5 hours! Well, you did listen to the story. You're right, brain!
Then Lillian left.
