NovelEnglishThough none of them felt deeply connected to their father, and they had all resented him for how cruel he was when he was alive, they started to remember the good things about him after his death. At the very least, Dean was kind and generous with them when they were younger.
"Sebastian, I heard that Dad had mental issues. I think that's the main reason why he didn't leave any of us anything. We only started working with Natalie because we had no other way. If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't even call us out to talk," Violet said.

"I don't know if Dad was mentally ill. He wouldn't have toldeven if he was," Sebastian said calmly. "I brought the lawyers here today to run a logical analysis on how much you would get if you won. If you don't trust my lawyers, you can call the ones that you trust here right now.
"I've called you all here to resolve this," Sebastian continued.
Everyone quieted down and gave one another hesitant looks.
After a while, Violet took the lead. "Okay. Letcall a lawyer and see what we would get if the court rules that Dad was mentally ill." "Sure. If you are unsure, you can call a few lawyers here," Sebastian said. "I don't want a penny from the Jennings Family to go to Natalie. I know that you will have to pay her if you work with her. I am now giving you your share directly, so that's more for you.' "Since you've cut to the chase, I won't play hard-to-get, Sebastian. I think you are sincere and, if you had acted like this, we wouldn't have gone to Natalie," Christine said. "Get a lawyer here, then. Let's see how much we can get." Violet took out her phone and proceeded to call the lawyer.
"Let's order!" Sebastian handed the menu to Bobby. "I've learnt a lot from watching you work, Brother. If you want to go back to working at MediLove, you are more than welcome." "No, thanks," Bobby refused without a second thought. "I have trouble moving around, and I'm not as strong as I used to be. Even if I go back to work, I can't do what I used to do." "I respect that. It's alright even if you don't want to work for the rest of your life. Letknow if you encounter any trouble," Sebastian said.

"You have all your limbs, and you have a husband," he responded coldly.
She immediately quieted down "Are you really going to fight Bobby on this too? don't mind even if he gets a bigger share of theinheritance. He's the one who contributed most to this family If it wasn't for the accident, he would have inherited everything," Dean's fourth daughter, Marigold, said. "Alright, stop right there." Concerned that their discussion would bring back upsetting memories for Bobby, Sebastian interfered. "Once this is settled, don't contact Natalie again, and delete her number. I don't want you to get yourselves killed." "We don't need you to tell us that. We wouldn't have contacted her to begin with if she didn't propose to help us fight for our shares in the inheritance." "Yeah. I've been in a bad place since Dad died, but I'm seeing clearly now," Sebastian said. "You might not be able to imagine this, but right before he died, he said he was going to donate everything." "He enjoys scaring people because it has always worked on us," Christine said. "It's a good thing that he died! That's the only way we get to live a normal life! Sebastian, you wouldn't be able to speak to us so smugly right now if he was still alive." "I am just disgusted by Natalie. We won't live until she is out of our sight," Sebastian said.
"Shouldn't we thank her? Dad probably still had a long life to live if she hadn't killed him," Christine teased. "Letremind you of something, Sebastian. You need to be fierce and merciless or you'll lose your standing. There are still things that we could learn from Dad." "Thank you for the reminder." Natalie had stayed awake all night and slept until ten in the morning.
She went to make herself a cup of coffee after waking up. She had a meeting with the lawyer to discuss their strategies for the lawsuit.
