After an hour, Kathleen and Samuel arrived at the Hoover residence.
It was Samuel's first time meeting Trevor’s two sons.
The eldest son was Zane Hoover. He was Logan's father and was married to Mary Xanthos.
Trevor's second son was Adam Hoover. Both Adam and Hannah were familiar faces to Samuel, for they were Kelly's parents.
They were not exactly strangers.
When Adam and Hannah saw Kathleen and Samuel's arrival, the discomfort was evident on their faces.
After all, Kathleen and Samuel came for the inheritance.
Kathleen glanced around the area and noticed that Lauren was absent.
“Why aren't we starting yet?” Mary asked in a sharp voice.
“We still need to wait for one more person,” the lawyer explained.
“One more?” Mary exclaimed in a loud voice. “Who?”
Hannah also frowned slightly. If another person were to join, would we even be able to receive any of the inheritance'?
“Please, have a seat, Kathleen and Mr. Macari,” Kelly said as she and the housekeeper brought out some drinks.
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
“Why are you being so nice to them?” Hannah looked at Kelly with an annoyed expression.
Even so, Kelly remained silent.
At that moment, Leonard walked in
from outside.
Hannah instantly shut her mouth while Kelly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Leonard wasn't there to back her up, she would definitely be criticized by Hannah.
Leonard glanced at Hannah coldly.
Hannah's expression instantly morphed into one of embarrassment. She did not dare to offend Leonard.
After all, she would have to rely on him a lot in the future.
Moreover, Samuel and Leonard's relationship was very useful as well.
Leonard walked over to greet Samuel. “You're here.”
Samuel nodded.
They sat down together.
“Who's not here yet?” Mary was still just as displeased. “Why are they late?”
Just as she spoke, the sound of heels clicking could be heard from the door.
Kathleen glanced toward the side, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
With bright red lipstick, Lauren walked in. She smiled confidently at everyone.
“Why is it you?” Mary exclaimed loudly. There must be some sort of mistake.
“Why wouldn't it be me?” Lauren replied coldly. “My father is Trevor's son.”
“What?” Mary replied anxiously, “What proof do you have?”
“This paternity test is proof.” Lauren took out the document.
The paternity test was the same as the one Kathleen and Samuel saw in the video.
Mary scurried over and grabbed the document before flipping through it.
She then silently threw it back to Lauren with a grim face.
“If there are any other people who have doubts about the paternity test, you may come forward to look through it yourself.” Lauren sneered coldly.
She was not afraid at all, for it was the truth.
“Let's start the reading of the will,”
Kathleen said coldly.
Lauren narrowed her eyes at Kathleen. “Are you really that anxious?”
“I'm not the one who's anxious, am I wrong?” Kathleen retorted.
Lauren was stunned.
Kathleen was right. Lauren was the one who was anxious.
She had to take over the management rights of the Hoover Group as soon as possible. There was no way she would allow the company to close down.
“Let's start.” Lauren glanced at the lawyer.
The said lawyer nodded and took out the will. “According to Mr. Trevor Hoover’s will, all of his properties and priceless items will be given to Kathleen Johnson.”
Everyone was stunned at his words.
All of that will be given to her?
