Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 599

Jenna was sitting next to Hansen all this while. She had no opinion to express regarding the will. She wasn't interested in it. She was more concerned about the Richards Group's current situation. If the verdict was reached, then she was most worried about the possible consequences towards Richards Group as a whole, as well as towards Hansen as an individual.

Hence, she didn't have a second opinion.

However, Hansen, on the other hand, was seen frowning, and his expression was stony.

Several of them were sent to search Vivian's bedroom while the others remained in the living room.

Hansen, Trevor, Claude, and Norton were the ones heading to Vivian's bedroom, with Marissa following behind them.

Aunt Ella was feeding Vivian some congee when they arrived in her room.

They greeted her in unison.

They called out a few times to her, but she didn't react at all. She was eating her congee, and with a slight tremble, she asked, "Who are you guys?"

They shook their heads helplessly. Vivian had long been tormented by her illness and she had aged badly. Her mental age was now that of a toddler, where she could no longer recognize her relatives, nor could she do even the most basic tasks.

They had no choice but to start searching around the room. After a while, they still couldn't find anything.

"Aunt Ella, where do you think she could have placed her will?" Hansen asked. He didn't join the people who were searching around blindly. Instead, he approached Aunt Ella.

Aunt Ella shook her head, but she said with certainty, "Young Master, if the black case I saw back then with Madam Vivian was the will you mentioned, then I'm sure she placed it around her bed. She has been bedridden for a while now. It wouldn't make sense for her to place it any further from her bed."

They agreed with Aunt Ella's reasoning.

Thus, they began to rummage around the bed.

It didn't take long for them to find the black case in the hidden drawer by the bed frame.

Aunt Ella took a look at it and confirmed it was the one she was talking about.

None of them would have noticed the hidden drawer until they started searching for one.

Therefore, it would make sense for Vivian to hide the will in it.

If it wasn't because of Aunt Ella, who had been taking care of Vivian all this while, and had seen Vivian reaching for the drawer while she was bedridden, they'd never have noticed it.

"Mom, is this your copy of the will?" Trevor showed the black case to Vivian.

Vivian's gaze was blank and devoid of any reaction.

"Mom wouldn't even recognize us, let alone this bag," Claude said with a sigh.

Trevor's heart was heavy. He had no choice but to take this case with him as they headed out of the bedroom.

As soon as they walked out, Mr. Pringle noticed the black case, and said immediately, "Yes, that's it. The will is in that case."

"How do you know that the will is in this, Mr. Pringle?" Trevor asked doubtfully.

Mr. Pringle smiled and said, "Mr. Trevor, I saw her putting the will inside this case back then when she called me over for the copy of the will. I'm sure about it."

Trevor and the rest found his words believable.

"Mr. Pringle, since this is a will, please take a look at it and see if there's any changes to the will. Now that everyone is present, let's proceed with the reading too. I have to say it's unlikely for Vivian to return to her senses again," Trevor said, handing over the black case to Mr. Pringle.

"Sure." Mr. Pringle took the case, and opened the case in front of everyone. There was a stack of documents inside, consisting of around two to three pages.

Everyone held their breath.

"It's the will." Mr. Pringle took a glance at the documents and said excitedly.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Mr. Pringle then took out his briefcase and pulled a document file from it. He revealed another stack of documents from the folder, and put on his glasses as he started to compare the two copies of the will.

Time ticked by, one second at a time.

Mr. Pringle carefully compared the documents. His expression was at ease at first, but as he read further on, he said, "Vivian had indeed revised the will. She added a few more sentences."

Hearing this, everyone's attention was on him. Someone asked, "What was it that she revised then? She is already so seriously ill. What could she have added to the will?"

Mr. Pringle's expression was getting stranger, and he was visibly in disbelief.

How could this be? Why would Vivian wish for Hansen to get a second wife? However, it was indeed written in the will that Hansen must marry Liya as his second wife. Otherwise, he wouldn't be eligible to inherit any assets under the Richards Group.
