She recalled the jokes her colleagues used to make about her being a secret heiress. Now, it had actually turned out to be true.
Joseph had already anticipated this.
He had someone investigate Hillary and Hayes a long time ago, so he had a general understanding of the assets under their names.
The two of them skimmed through the agreement, and Joseph immediately spotted a few minor issues.
Seeing the change in his expression, the lawyer understood right away. He took the initiative to ask, and the two men conversed in hushed tones.
Vivica pulled her gaze away from the agreement and looked at the people in front of her, her eyes finally landing on Hillary.
"I want to ask, is this... all the property under your names?" Vivica hesitated for a moment before asking softly.
Hillary froze for a second and looked at Cheryl.
The moment their eyes met, Hillary suddenly grew a little anxious and hurriedly said, "Of course. Besides leaving a portion for medical expenses, all the assets under our names are listed here. If you don't believe me, you can have..."
Hillary thought Vivica suspected them of hiding things and refusing to hand over all their wealth.
"No, no, you misunderstood," Vivica quickly waved a hand to interrupt her. "What I meant to say is that Mr. Smith and his family have been taking care of the two of you all these years. By all rights and reason, at least half of these assets should be given to them."
This was Vivica's true thought process.
She wasn't hurting for money.
Even if she were, she wouldn't be able to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in her lifetime.
And the meticulous care Raymond's family had provided them over the years had long surpassed the value of money.
Although the company Raymond currently managed belonged to her biological parents, the money he earned was well-deserved compensation for his own hard work.
