"So what? I've owned all these things for over 20 years. Whether it’s the Conrads’ villa or assets, they are all mine," Jacqueline replied.
Henry's eyes gradually darkened and there was a hint of a dark aura looming in the room.
Jacqueline noticed it and her heart started beating fast. She subconsciously leaned towards Dominic and said, "What? You want to kill me? Let me tell you, it's n o use. Even if you kill me, you won't get the will. Do you know who the heir in my will is?"
She looked at the man defiantly.
The man's gaze fell on her neck, which was as pale and slender as a swan. It made him want to choke her to death.
"Who is it?" Henry's voice was hoarse and scary.
Jacqueline rubbed her arms and moved closer to Dominic. "It’s the Frey couple. The enemy of my enemy is a friend. I knew a long time ago that there would eventually be a face-off between me and Yvonne. There can only be one victor, so I left myself a backup plan very early on."
When Jacqueline said this, both Henry and Dominic were surprised.
"What backup plan?" Dominic asked with a trembling
voice.
He wondered since when had his daughter become so unfamiliar. She even hid all these secrets from him, her own father.
Jacqueline heard Dominic's question and raised her eyelids as she glanced at him. "Of course a backup plan that won't let Yvonne be the final victor. The faceoff between me and Yvonne can only end in two ways: either she dies or I die. When she dies, it's certainly a win for me, but if I die, everything I have will fall into her hands. I don’t want that, so..."
"So you made a will in advance?" Henry's veins on his forehead protruded.
Jacqueline grinned. "Yes, I just don't want Yvonne to b e happy. I hate her. She took you away, and now she's also taking my father and our properties away, so how can I just sit and watch that happen? Even if I die, I'm still going to screw her over. So even if she wins, she won't get any of my assets."
She would rather give all the money away than give it t o Yvonne.
"I have to say, you’re rather clever for taking this step and ruining my plan." Henry walked around Jacqueline and looked down at her with cold eyes.
Jacqueline was very proud when she heard him say that. "So, Henry, you can't kill me. Once I die, the will i s going to take effect immediately. When that happens, Yvonne can only get my father's share of the assets, and she’ll get nothing from me. She can only watch as everything in my name will fall into the hands of the Frey family, and I'm not afraid to tell you the details of the will either."
Jacqueline brushed her tangled wig that had not been washed for a long time. "I left my will at the Hudson Bank. The Hudson Bank has been around for hundreds of years, so even if you try, you can't make them give you the will."
When she said that, she looked at the gloomy man above her head with great pride.
Dominic hadn’t spoken a word since he asked her the question earlier. He looked at his daughter beside him and he was full of regrets.
Why didn’t he think about setting up a will?
If he had thought about it, he could have made a will too so he would not be forced to sign the transfer document.
As Dominic thought about it, he couldn't help but feel resentment towards his own daughter, Jacqueline.
He resented the fact that his daughter thought about making a will to prevent her property from being taken away but did not tell him about it. He was her father so he thought that was really unfilial.
Henry also didn’t expect that Jacqueline would be able to deal with things so well.
He had underestimated her this time!
"I know I can't make the Hudson Bank give me the will, but I'm not going to kill you either. I'll let you live. As long as you're alive, I'll have a way to get the will. D o you trust me?" Henry stretched out his hand and pinched Jacqueline's face heartlessly.
The reason why the Conrad family had so much property today was because of the money Laura gave a s a start-up fund.
