Chapter 6 - The Unbreakable Will
Richard’s smug expression flickered for a fraction of a second, but he quickly forced a loud, harsh, mocking laugh to regain control of the room. "Julian was broke and delirious on hospital pain medication! Any random document he signed in that medical facility is completely invalid and easily contested in a court of law!"
Chloe stepped forward onto the rug, holding out the heavy legal envelope directly toward Richard's face. "This isn't just a basic will, Richard. This is a court-certified, irrevocable trust agreement drafted by the state's top estate attorney three days before the donor surgery took place. Julian officially transferred all his personal corporate shares, his intellectual property rights, and his multi-million-dollar life insurance policy directly into a private trust managed exclusively by his mother for Nora's long-term upbringing."
Evelyn slowly rose to her feet, wiping the tears from her face with the back of her hand as she looked at her brother with newfound, razor-sharp clarity. She vividly recalled how aggressively Richard had pressured her to sign legal papers transferring direct control of Julian's bank accounts to his firm while Julian was lying unconscious in the ICU.
"You knew," Evelyn said, her voice dropping into a dangerous, ice-cold tone that made Richard freeze in his tracks. "You knew Julian had a child all along, didn't you, Richard?"
Richard swallowed hard, his fingers tightening around his whiskey glass so hard the glass creaked under the pressure as his pompous composure began to shatter under his sister's sharp gaze. "I... I was protecting the legacy of the family name, Evelyn! Julian was recklessly ruining our corporate reputation by getting mixed up with lower-class people and throwing away his assets!"
