[File No. 1] "This folder contains photos and videos of someone following your grandmother Catherine, Maximus. She was having an affair with Albert Preston, the grandfather of Mary Preston. The contents here are basic, mostly confirming their relationship." [File No. 21 "Continuing with Albert Preston, this folder reveals that Catherine transferred several properties and a vineyard to him. At the time, Albert was in serious trouble-hunted by the police and financially ruined after being implicated in a fraud orchestrated by his children, Alexander and Camilla. They were the true culprits but pinned the blon Albert.
"To protect themselves, Alexander and Camilla struck a deal with Judge Levett, brokered by Alexia. Here are the photos." Frederick held up images of Alexia, visibly pregnant, meeting with Mary's father and aunt.
"They sold Albert for a few million, but they never got to enjoy the money. Frank Levett eliminated them on the day they tried to flee the country. Their bodies were never found-they were completely erased." Frederick continued, “As for Albert, he was gravely ill and signed several succession documents, naming Mary Preston as his sole heir. Among the assets transferred were the vineyard and the formulations for swines he was developing. These are safeguarded by an executor, a wornan Albert entrusted with the task.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Unfortunately, it seems Albert passed away before telling anyone about these arrangements. To claim the properties, Mary would need to present identification documents proving her connection and the rightful succession." Maximus leaned forward, intrigued. "Where are these properties located?" "They're in a small, remote village beyond Lunavalle. But these aren't just any properties-it's an expansive vineyard." "Wow! So Catherine gave away properties that belonged to my great-grandmother? Does it explain why?" "No, Maximus, it doesn't. How do you know these properties were hers?" "My great-grandmother lived there. Over time, we forgot about the place. I visited once or twice as a child." "Well, now they belong to Mary." "I don't see an issue. I know she'll put them to good use." "Marcus," Frederick interjected, “as her husband, you could explain the situation to her." "If I tell her this, I'd have to explain how her grandfather was betrayed by his own children. How do you think she'll react?" "Marcus, it's not your decision to make. She needs to know what my grandmother and her grandfather left her. You could leave out the more painful details-there's no need to reopen old wounds." Chapter 0552 "Alright, gentlemen. You can decide how to handle this later. Let's move on to the next part of the investigation." [File No. 31 "This is where things get complicated. I've read and re-read the information, and it all checks out, but I can't make sense of it. Maximus, maybe you can shed slight on this." "Go ahead." "This folder covers the Palmer fortune. It confirms what Catherine always said: the company was founded by three families-the Prestons, the Bartzs, and the Palmers. The Bartzs transferred all their shares to Catherine on the condition that she be the sole owner. However, they were very specific: only she could own them, and she could pass them on to anyone she chose through a will, but only after her death.
"Here's the issue: Catherine handed the shares to Marcus while she was alive. She probably did so, in gadd faith, but according to the clause, that transfer is invalid. Marcus, the shares she gave you aren't officially yours." "What the hell are you saying?" Marcus snapped.
"Catherine gave you the shares as an act of goodwill, and there was a government agent present to ensure their legality. But this clause voids all oFit Ultimately, the shares revert to the Palmer family. Your grandparents created this clause to protect Catherine's interests, but now it's a problem-for you, at least." "That's irrelevant," Marcus argued. "The company belongs to me. I've invested massive amounts of money into it. That's what matters." IC # word
'Marcus, all of that was done out of goodwill. Legally, there's no documentation to back it up-except your and Maximus's and I doubt he'd object. But we can't ignore the fact е that Leonardo is still alive. If he discovers this, he could legally strip you and his own children of everything. Technically, he's the sole heir to the entire Palmer fortune, regardless of your investments."
