Embarrassed by what Selena had said, Helen pointed at the door and snarled, “Get lost! We don’t welcome you here!”
“If I leave, this show will be less interesting.” Selena turned around and gazed at the will before sneering. “To all the Fowlers here, you’re supportive of Helen because you’ve gained some benefits from this will, right? All of you became wealthy because of Old Mr. Fowler. If he found out that you’re supporting his murderer to inherit his wealth, he’d be incensed in heaven.”
All the Fowlers flushed in anger. “Selena, get lost now! You are the murderer! How could you accuse someone else?”
“That’s right. You’re doing this because you want a share of the inheritance!”
All of them couldn’t bear to see their assets taken away from them, so they rose from the chairs and started defending Helen and Chris. Meanwhile, Chris remained silent. He knew the truth behind the murder, so he couldn’t reprimand Selena like the others did.
Selena scoffed, “I’m doing this for the money? I’m wealthy myself, so why would I do that? Indeed, the inheritance is attractive, but my money is enough to last me for a lifetime, so I don’t have to take the risk for the inheritance that will only rot in a bank.”
All of them sneered at her remark. She was indeed wealthy, but no one in this world wouldn’t want more money.
“I know you won’t believe me, but that’s none of my concern. I’m here to tell you one thing.” Selena took a glance at Chris with a dejected gaze, but she soon looked away. “Chris Fowler has no right to inherit Fowler Corporation because he is not Old Mr. Fowler’s son!”
Before coming to this place, she was conflicted internally. She knew that Chris was an innocent and benevolent man. Just like what he had said before, there was no way people who loved music could be bad.
Therefore, she understood that Helen must be the mastermind behind all these, and Chris probably knew nothing, including the fact that he wasn’t John’s child. However, when she said those words, she took a look at Chris, who gave no reaction at all. It meant that he had found out about it.
“You are lying!” Helen pressed her hand against her chest and growled. Perhaps she was too agitated that she fell into her chair and stared at Selena with teary eyes. “Selena, how could you be so ruthless? My husband is dead! He was your father-in-law! It’s because of you that his corpse can’t be buried and that he’s even dismembered! And now, you’re even trying to falsely accuse my son! I don’t care if you want to destroy me, but you can’t do that to my son!”
At that moment, Helen appeared to be a pitiful single mother, arousing the sympathy of those in the room.
While the Fowlers were infuriated, the other shareholders stayed calmly on the side because they were doubtful about the legitimacy of the will. John’s will had nothing to do with them. However, since all the Fowlers had gained more shares, it would affect the shareholders’ rights and make them have less say in the company.
“Selena, stop spouting nonsense! Get lost, and don’t come back again!”
“Why did the security guards let her in? Throw her out of this place now!”
“If she’s not leaving, just call the police!”
