Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 577

In the Ink Garden.

Vivian hadn't eaten for nearly a week. She was relying on the IV drip to sustain her life.

When Hansen walked in, Vivian was in a deep sleep.

She spent most of her time sleeping those days. She was only half awake in a daze when she woke up and couldn't recognise anyone anymore.

Her life was coming to an end. She didn't have much time left.

Besides Meroy, several servants also stayed in the room by her side all the time.

Hansen entered and looked at his grandmother. His heart was heavy.

"Mr. Richards, I have something to discuss with you." Meroy followed as Hansen entered the chamber.

"Meroy, just shoot it!" Hansen raised his head slightly and urged gently.

He had always treated Vivian's aide, Meroy, with respect.

"Mr. Richards, there's a matter that might sound rather strange." Meroy stepped forward and whispered, "Some time ago, when Old Madam was not herself and mostly in a daze, I saw her holding a black case in her hand. I didn't know where she got it from but she held it tightly. I wasn't sure what was inside and I didn't dare to take it from her. At midnight on that day, Old Madam suddenly became sober and she ordered me to call Mr. Garver over. I agreed to her request but it was midnight. So, I called him early in the morning the next day. Mr. Garver wasn't in the country and would only return a week later."

Meroy paused and looked at Hansen's expression.

Hansen was only listening casually at first. As Meroy elaborated, his expression turned solemn.

"Grandmother was looking for Mr. Garver?" He raised his head and asked, looking concerned.

Mr. Garver was the Richards Group's senior lawyer. In other words, he was Old Master Richards's exclusive lawyer. It was said that Old Master Richards had already written the will before his death and handed it to Mr. Garver for safekeeping. Why did Grandma want to meet him? The only possibility was to talk about the will. Hansen's face turned solemn as he thought about it.

"Yes, Mr. Richards. Mr. Garver has retired and his son is living abroad. He was abroad visiting his son when Old Madam looked for him. He asked for the reason of her summoning him but I didn't have an answer. When he heard about Old Madam's condition, he immediately told me that he would come back soon." Meroy continued to explain.

Hansen was deep in thought. It would make sense for her to find Mr. Garver if she realized that she did not have much time left to live. However, most of the will had been arranged by Old Master Richards before he passed away. Some of the assets belonged to Vivian and there were changes to asset allocation that happened later after his passing. Hence, Vivian actually did have the right to write another will.

Did Vivian look for Mr. Garver to change her will?

Hansen was not worried about the will. After all, Old Master Richards was always absolutely fair and impartial. He was indifferent to how the assets were divided as they were family. Hansen didn't care how much he would get from the will. He believed he was capable of earning his own wealth.

"Meroy, thank you for letting me know. May I know where Grandma's black case is now?" Hansen asked while thinking.

"Mr. Richards, the black case has disappeared. I figured that Old Madam returned it to its original place when she was awake. She has been bedridden and unable to walk around. My guess was she placed the black case somewhere around her bed." Meroy thought for a moment and speculated.

Hansen nodded. His thoughts were a little murky.

If it was really related to the will, was it the one she made herself, or the one that Old Master Richards had given to her?

Hansen couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to guess. It seemed that only Mr. Garver knew about this.

Nonetheless, he also knew that the will was important to every descendant of the Richards Group. Many people were eyeing the will, especially Vivian's two daughters. They couldn't make a name for themselves yet still wanted a part of the inheritance.

His handsome face looked bleak and he remained silent.

Meroy left after telling Hansen what she wanted to say.

Hansen didn't know what to do. Vivian was now in a critical condition, and it was indeed time to announce her will. Usually, a lawyer had to be present to announce the will. That might be the reason she called for Mr. Garver.

The blazing sun scorched the ground.

The black Jaguar rumbled on the main road.

Sergio's mood was terrible.

The blue sea was vast with its waves surging.

The crowd nearby was laughing and playing on the beach. The surfers rode the waves, which was a spectacular sight to see.

Sergio stopped and walked out of the car.
