"Mr. Lycett, did my father really leavean inheritance?" Sebastian found had found it hard to believe that his father would leave him anything, so he said, "My father has always said I was incapable, and he would rather donate his fortune instead of leaving it for his children..." "Haha! He only said that when he was angry. If he had not said that, you would not be motivated to do a good job." Mr. Lycett did not immediately tell Sebastian the contents of the will. "Your father has a strange temper. I'm sure you agree withdeeply on this, right?" "Hmm. My father has never once praised me, but my elder sister had said that he had showeredwith praise," Sebastian said helplessly while brewing his tea. "To be honest, I don't think I'm that useless. But all because of my father and him constantly callinguseless, I doubt myself." "I understand how you feel, which is why I said that it was your ton the phone. In the future, no one will ever dare criticize you that way. It's tto show off your skills," Mr. Lycett said. "When your father was still alive, he hesitated when it cto dividing his fortune. He would change his mind daily." "I can imagine how conflicted he must have been. He often said that he wanted to donate his entire fortune. But the more he said it, the more unwilling he grew," Sebastian said. "He also did not feel much for his children. We are no longer his pawns." "Your father has told you that he wanted to donate his entire fortune, but he has never once said that to me. He is not completely cold-hearted. He earns so much money and flaunts his power; he would not want his descendants to live in poverty." "You have spoken too well of my father. Maybe he treated outsiders differently to how he treats his children." Sebastian would not give fake compliments just because his father had left him his fortune.
Mr. Lycett said, "Perhaps! Your father comes off as suspicious to me, but he is no different than any other wealthy person. Most wealthy people are suspicious by nature." "Hmm." "You might not be too familiar with how suspicious your father can be." Mr. Lycett smiled and said, "Your father contactedevery day." "You did say this just now, but I thought nothing of it." Sebastian looked at him. "Why would he contact you daily?" Mr. Lycett said in a suppressed tone, "Because he changed his will every day." Sebastian was speechless.
"I'm not exaggerating. It's true. Every day he would devote stto talking about you and your siblings," Mr. Lycett said. "Before your brother made that huge mistake, he favored him the most because your brother is good at his job. He had made your father a lot of money. But after his mistake, your father had completely removed him from the list of heirs, so your brother won't get a single cent." Sebastian was not surprised at all about that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Let's talk about your elder sister. Your father had thought of leaving sof his fortune to her, as she too is quite good at her job, but because of her messy personal life, especially with her affairs with younger men, and finally, he divorce, he had decided not to award her anything. He felt that her open relationship with a younger man had embarrassed the family completely." Sebastian was shocked to hear that.
"She was only in a relationship with a man younger than her. She did not do anything wrong. How many girlfriends did my father have? How can my sister compare to his love life?" Although Sebastian was not close to his sister, he felt that it was absurd his father did not leave her anything. "All of you are his children. He can ask you to do anything, but you can't ask the sof him. That is how he thought." Mr. Lycett told Sebastian what Dean had felt.
"But if my elder brother and sister won't get a single cent, the others are even more unqualified, right?" Sebastian logically analyzed the situation. "Only they were working for the Jennings family. The others have never once done anything for the family."
