My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1227

Hendrix nodded and said, "We'll go upstairs and say our goodbyes to Master Hayes!"

The butler nodded.

In Master Hayes's bedroom, a group of people was kneeling on the squeaky-clean floor. Some were sobbing, some were quietly crying, and some were silent.

Miss Monica from a few moments ago went up to the butler once she saw him coming. Not caring about anything else, she tugged on the butler's sleeve and asked, "Ainsley, did father write his will? Did he give you any orders before he left?"

Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the group of people kneeling on the ground. Of course, it was also possible that it was her words that attracted them.

The butler looked at the group of people and said, "Before he left, he only said that if anything happens to him, Young Master Tobias will be the one to take charge. The will was written and the lawyer will arrive shortly to read it out."

"What?" Miss Monica seemed to be unsatisfied. "Why would my father want a brat like him to take charge? There are so many children and grandchildren in the Hayes Family. Why would he choose an illegitimate son to take charge of the Hayes Family? Isn't the Hayes Family embarrassed enough as it is?"

Those who were kneeling on the ground joined Miss Monica. They all disagreed to have Tobias take charge.

The butler seemed to be used to such a situation. He said calmly, "I know everyone thinks that Young Master Tobias is not suitable to take charge of the Hayes Family, but Master Hayes said so himself. After he leaves, everything related to the Hayes Family will be handed over to Young Master Tobias. If anyone disagrees, feel free to leave the Hayes Family. In the future, they won't have anything to do with the Hayes Family anymore. If you stay in the Hayes Family, then you'll do as Young Master Tobias says, since you're a member of the Hayes Family."

After he finished speaking, those who opposed became silent. Miss Monica was still not happy, but she kept her mouth shut and glared at Tobias, who was kneeling in front of the bed.

Right after that, the lawyer arrived.

When they saw the lawyer, everyone's eyes lit up. They looked at the lawyer expectantly, waiting for him to read out Master Hayes' will.

The lawyer probably came to Hayes Manor often. After coming in and bowing to Master Hayes, he took out the documents from his briefcase and said, "Everyone, please accept my condolences. A dead person can't come back to life. Master Hayes died peacefully. He had already settled everything and had no regrets. Now, I will recite the will left by Master Hayes to everyone."

The bedroom, which was originally filled with sobs, was extraordinarily quiet at the moment. The lawyer looked at the crowd and said, "Hayes Family's children and grandchildren, I'm gone. As the person in charge of the Hayes Family for the past few decades, I clearly know that I have to take care of everything before I leave. This way, I can keep the Hayes Family in order and prevent all of you from exposing the family's disgrace to the media." That was Master Hayes' opening remarks. There was not much emotion in his words. Instead, it was about the family's responsibilities and interests.

The lawyer paused for a moment before continuing, "For the future development of the Hayes Family, I have decided to hand over the Roberts' right to Tobias. He will be the one in charge of the management of the Hayes Family's estates and companies. I know that some of you will be unhappy about it, but this is for the sake of the family's interest. Everyone must comply..."

The rest of the will was about the allocation of properties and other small businesses. After listening to the will, everyone had different expressions on their faces. Miss Monica looked at Tobias, dissatisfaction, and resentment were written all over her face.
