Chapter 1040 - 536: Extra Story: Wanting to Be with Her
However, the nature of a person should change, while things in reality cannot be changed at will...The final hearing of the inheritance case has finally arrived...
Alice Robinson had already considered many outcomes before going, so even the worst outcome wouldn’t catch her unprepared.
In court, Robinson indeed argued that as a woman, she didn’t meet the Robinson family’s hereditary criteria and demanded Alice to relinquish all Robinson family assets...
Alice’s lawyer naturally engaged in a war of words with Robinson in court, but ultimately, Alice’s side was at a disadvantage because she truly didn’t have the legitimate inheritance rights, the rights were with Chester Robinson.
Only Chester Robinson held the direct inheritance rights to the Robinson family; if he claimed the family assets, even Robinson couldn’t object.
It seemed Robinson was certain Chester wouldn’t care about the Robinson family assets, wanting the judge to award him the assets according to the family’s hereditary system.
The judge couldn’t easily make such a judgment, so he requested Chester to appear.
If Chester appeared during the trial and demanded the Robinson family assets, Robinson would only face defeat.
But as the trial reached its peak, Chester still didn’t appear...
Alice knew Chester wouldn’t show up, as with the market value of his "QCS" company, the Robinson family assets were insignificant, and he never stayed with the family for those assets...
Robinson’s face was filled with a triumphant smile, eagerly awaiting the judge’s verdict.
The judge, having waited for Chester but without success, finally lifted the solemn gavel...
Unexpectedly, and beyond Alice’s expectations, just as the judge was about to deliver the verdict, Chester appeared in court...
Chester’s appearance surprised everyone...
From an outsider’s perspective, Chester was just a doctor uninterested in running the family business, and he had never intended to inherit the family business. His absence from multiple hearings made his sudden appearance shocking to relatives who coveted the Robinson family assets...
The "meat" that was about to be eaten got away, making Robinson angry and humiliated. In a rage, he introduced new evidence—Chester wasn’t a Robinson.
Against someone like Robinson, if it weren’t necessary to appear for the trial, Chester wouldn’t need to show up, as all of Robinson’s evidence was overturned by the lawyer who accompanied Chester to court...
The final result was Robinson’s defeat, and according to the Robinson family’s hereditary system, the assets were awarded to Chester.
After leaving the courtroom, Alice was pushed to Chester’s side by the many media present...
To outsiders, Chester and she were siblings, and after winning they should naturally be accepting interviews together...
Unfortunately, neither she nor Chester said anything; they didn’t even smile but walked straight out of the court...
Whether out of fear of media misreporting or not, after leaving the court, he pulled her into a car parked by the roadside.
The driver was Keith Antony.
Her sensible departure allowed Keith Antony the chance to stay by his side.
The car slowly drove out of everyone’s sight amid the media chase...
The cabin was incredibly quiet.
He was still gripping her wrist.
She felt a bit of pain and pried his hand open, slowly pulling away from his grasp.
His gaze was fixed forward, saying nothing, his expression being a rare show of cold indifference in front of the world.
She asked, "Where are you taking me?"
He coldly replied, "Stop the car."
Keith Antony dared not disobey any further, immediately braking and stopping the car by the roadside.
This was a somewhat deserted street with few cars around, making the atmosphere in the car feel even quieter.
"Get out." He ordered coldly.
She was taken aback for a moment, then grabbed her bag and stepped out of the car.
She hadn’t even steadied herself when the car sped away behind her.
She stood frozen in place, lost in thought for a long time.
It took her a while to hail a cab home, and she didn’t expect to run into Keith Antony at the door.
She instinctively looked towards the villa, only to find it was just Keith Antony who had come.
She had always wanted to apologize to Keith Antony for the trouble she caused last time, and now she finally had the chance, "Assistant Antony, I’m sorry for almost implicating you last time."
