Chapter 1337 - 1277: Refusing the Inheritance

Brandon Potter knocked on the door and came in, looking at the boxes on the floor, and asked, "Madam, do you need me to go buy more boxes?"

Sienna Johnson felt a bit embarrassed; she had bought too many things yesterday, and Brandon Potter had helped her carry a lot.

"No need, just these..." She had some jewelry at home; if necessary, she could give Curly some.

Originally, all her jewelry was to be left to Curly, but now with Claire, Sienna couldn’t be too biased.

Moreover, Curly, that girl, had almost gotten all the diamonds Adrian Desmond had.

Curly had far more diamonds than she did.

Adrian Desmond asked, "Is the boat ready?"

"It’s ready."

"Have someone send these boxes to the boat first; we’ll leave after breakfast."

They were first going back to Abyanabad from Kalare, then take Adrian Desmond’s private jet back to Sileria City.

Since they planned to settle in Sileria City, Adrian had many things to handle.

At that time, Sienna would return to Sileria City first, while Adrian stayed in Abyanabad to handle some business matters.

"Sixth Master, someone named Hamill wants to see you."

"Who is he?"

Brandon Potter said, "He says he’s Jack’s lawyer."

Adrian frowned slightly, unable to understand why Jack’s lawyer would want to see him, but with Night Owl dead, Adrian didn’t want to see anyone related to or involved with Night Owl.

Just as Sienna wished, he wanted to live a peaceful life.

"No, I won’t see him."

Brandon Potter said, "Hamill says he has something very important to tell you..."

Adrian unhappily looked at Brandon Potter, reprimanding him, "I don’t want to hear it; tell him to get lost!

Brandon Potter, in the future, I’ll only say things once! Don’t make me repeat myself!"

"Yes, Sixth Master!" Brandon Potter hurriedly lowered his head.

Sienna placed her hand on Adrian’s shoulder and gently patted him, she said, "Since it’s Jack’s lawyer, just see him; maybe there’s something really important."

"..."

Sienna took charge for Adrian and said, "Alyssa, bring him in."

Brandon Potter cautiously looked at Adrian, and seeing Adrian didn’t object, he went to fetch the person.

After Brandon Potter left, Sienna said, "You should change your attitude in the future; they may be working for you, but they’re human too, and they have self-esteem. You can’t always be so ruthless..."

"If I treat women kindly, you’d be upset."

Sienna glared at him and said, "It depends on the person. Like Larissa and Joanna, you shouldn’t show them a pleasant face. But with someone like Alyssa, you should treat her kindly.

You can’t let those working for you feel cold-hearted."

"Got it."

Sienna gave Adrian a kiss, her mood was particularly good, her eyes laughed into crescent shapes, and seeing her happy, Adrian’s mood brightened considerably.

"So good."

Adrian held her hand, pitifully said, "Can’t you stay with me in Abyanabad for a few more days?"

"The kids and I will wait for you in Sileria City."

"Who is more important, me or the kids?"

Sienna looked at Adrian, as if looking at an immature child, "How can that be the same?"

"Why not, we’re all human, aren’t we?"

"Love equally, alright?"

"No!"

"You’re the father, why are you jealous of the kids?"

Adrian said jealousy, "My woman thinking of other people makes me uncomfortable."

"I’ll let you do as you wish tonight." Sienna whispered.

"Really?"

Sienna tugged his ear and smiled, but didn’t respond.

Brandon Potter brought Hamill inside.

Hamill was a gray-haired man in his fifties, wearing a suit with circular glasses. He couldn’t speak Chinese or Amwan Language; he started speaking with a pure English accent.

Hamill was afraid they wouldn’t understand, so he brought a translator, but was stunned by Adrian’s fluent English.

"Mr. Desmond, your English is excellent."

Adrian asked, "What business do you have with me?"

Thinking of his friend’s tragic death, Hamill’s beautiful blue eyes dimmed, "Jack is dead, you know that?"

"I know."

Hamill said, "It was my negligence. At the time, he gave me his lifetime collection of wine, I should have been alert.

If I had sensed he wanted to commit suicide then, he might not have died."

Adrian said, "No one could have stopped Jack if he wanted to commit suicide."

Hamill looked at the silent, beautiful Eastern woman sitting beside Adrian. Adrian didn’t like other men staring at Sienna. He shifted his body to block Hamill’s view.

Adrian glared at the man fiercely.

"Sorry, your wife is very beautiful."

Hamill found it funny being eyed by this hostile man.

His age could make this woman his granddaughter, why was this young man jealous?

"What purpose do you have for seeing me?"

"Before Jack died, he made a will, leaving all his wealth to you. I’m his lawyer, I’m here concerning this matter."

"I don’t want it!" Adrian didn’t hesitate to refuse.

"This is Jack’s wish, hoping you’ll accept the inheritance."

"..."

"The Rowell Family has no heirs now; if you don’t inherit this money, it will belong to the state."

"Then let it belong to the state." Adrian didn’t want it.

Hamill looked at Sienna and asked, "Madam, could you help persuade your husband?"

"I respect my husband’s decision!" Sienna expressed her standpoint.

Adrian not wanting it surely had his reasons, whatever the reason, Sienna respected Adrian’s decision.

"I’ll go check if breakfast is ready; you take your time talking." Sienna said to Adrian.

Adrian stood up as well, he said to Hamill, "I and Jack are not related, I can’t find a reason to accept this estate.

I decline."

Hamill said, "How could it be unrelated? If Laura were still alive, you’d be Laura’s husband, Jack’s grandson-in-law...

Jack always treated you as his grandson-in-law..."

Adrian felt Jack was setting him up, even in death, he didn’t forget to set him up.

How could such things be casually spoken of?

He’s Sienna’s man, yet he almost became Laura’s man?

Adrian seriously expressed his standpoint, "I only see Laura as a sister, even if Laura were still alive, I wouldn’t fall in love with her."

"..."

"Regarding such statements in the future, please refrain from making rash claims! Otherwise, I will pursue legal action against you."

Hamill apologized, "I’m sorry, I seem to have misspoken."

"Let’s go." Adrian left with Sienna, completely ignoring what Hamill would say.
