The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 174

The meeting room immediately turned into chaos.

"No way! Where did Adeline's daughter come from? She's already dead!!" Yvonne stood up and pointed at the lawyer, "Don't you dare read that nonsense! I can sue you!"

"Ms. Yvonne, please calm down. Mr. Baldrick had a video recorded in the presence of a notary to avoid any issues after the announcement."

The lawyer gestured, and the assistant immediately started playing the video.

On the screen, after some brief static, the image appeared.

Baldrick was lying in a hospital bed, looking frail, but somewhat spirited.

The date in the corner of the video showed it was recorded half a year ago.

The content at the beginning was not controversial. However, at the end...

"All my real estate, as well as the rest of my assets, will be inherited by my adopted daughter Adeline's... no, Adeline Tesdal's daughter."

"It's impossible!" Yvonne shouted out loud.

Baldrick on the video was still talking. "Since Adeline passed away, I've lost contact with my granddaughter. I entrust my dear friend Hilaria to find her on my behalf."

Hilaria covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. She had no idea Adeline had a child still alive in this world. Neither did she know Baldrick still saw her as a close friend.

"It's all fake! It can't be real!" Yvonne still refused to accept this reality.

Baldrick took a moment to catch his breath. Then he looked into the camera and said, "Hilaria, please take my ashes with you... and... take me home."

"Alright... alright..." Hilaria was sobbing uncontrollably.
