His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 856

News of death of business tycoons such as Jeff Chambers, who were on equal footing with Emeric, should have been closely guarded by the Chambers Group, with disclosure only to occur after the situation had stabilized.

But unexpectedly, overnight, the media exploded with the news, causing a sensation throughout the city.

The news was leaked by Avery.

Now, Avery was the last of the Chambers family. It's only natural that he should inherit the entire Chambers Group.

He had gotten what he had long desired.

What millions died that Caesar might be great. Avery had finally climbed to the peak of power in the Chambers Group.

Jeff's body was temporarily kept in the morgue of the hospital. Avery, as a family member, refused an autopsy, and the police found no signs of foul play at the scene. It was thus concluded that his death was ruled accidental, attributed to the disease.

In the hospital lounge.

Avery sat upright on a square black leather sofa, his arms resting naturally and dignifiedly on the armrests. He closed his eyes, envisioning himself ascending the throne.

"Dad, this is the best gift you've given me in nearly thirty years of my life. Thank you for your fulfillment. Rest in peace."

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

Avery responded, and Harvey walked in with a man dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase.

Then, Harvey locked the door.

"Lawyer Lee, please, have a seat," Avery said, smiling.

Lawyer Lee had been a trusted confidant of Jeff before his death. He was not only the legal advisor to the Chambers Group, but also as the family's personal lawyer, having been with his father for more than three decades.

"Mr. Chambers," Lawyer Lee greeted bowed respectfully.

Avery remained calm, but it was clear he was not pleased with the address.

However, given the power dynamics were already in his favor, he was just waiting to convene the board meeting and officially announce his complete control over the Chambers Group. He felt no rush to assert his dominance.

"Lawyer Lee, my father's will is with you," Avery said slowly with a leisure smile. "Now, you can read it in front of me. After all, I am the only one left in the Chambers family."

With a resigned and sad sigh, Lawyer Lee pulled out Jeff's will from his briefcase, which had undergone countless revisions.

As soon as the will was brought out, Avery stood up abruptly, snatched the document and eagerly flipped through it.

Line by line, the black words on white paper reflected in his dark, scheming eyes.

He stood there motionless as time ticked by, and even Lawyer Lee, who was accustomed to turbulence, felt a chill down his spine, sweat beading on his forehead.

Finally, after reading the entire document, Avery narrowed his eyes slightly and threw the will at Lawyer Lee's feet with a smirk:

"Matthew and Bertha, even though imprisoned, received a share, but not a single word was left for me. Well, such is the extent of my biological father's regard."

Not only that.

Jeff even abolished the hereditary leadership of the Chambers Group, overturning decades of family management traditions.

After his passing, the leadership would be determined by capability.

Avery laughed aloud.

Even though he had taken the position of CEO, from the beginning, he was merely a tool Jeff used to stabilize the situation. Once Jeff was done using him, he would be kicked aside.

Even if he was the only one left.

That ruthless, cold-hearted man had left him nothing.

Lawyer Lee looked at Avery, who appeared somewhat manic, with sweat pouring down his back.

Jeff died suddenly, and he was the one who held the will and was the sole witness. He knew these had placed him in grave danger, because this young Mr. Chambers not only had a heart of iron, but also harbored ambitious wolf-like desires, not sparing anyone.

It came quicker than he had expected.
