Chapter 65
Nova sneered and said word by word, "Aunt Lucie, what about the daughter you handed over in your own hands? Do you remember how you came into my family back then? Who is the person too uneducated actually?"
Lucie had never seen Nova speaking so terribly. She couldn't reply for a long time. Toby was angry that his chest was up and down in pain. He stroked his chest and said harshly, "Shut up!"
The living room suddenly became quiet. Ella unwillingly darted a look at Nova, and stood on the side with her head down.
Perhaps because they had things spoken out, Lucie didn't have any things to hide at this moment. She stood beside Ella with a calm face. Toby took a deep breath, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Lucie, help Ella get some rest. Nova, come with me."
Nova looked at his stumbling back and was a little choked. Although she was no longer expecting his fatherly love, his old back still made her a little sad. He was really becoming old.
In the study.
“Sit.”
Toby poured a cup of water and drank with the medicine, and the pain in his chest eased a little. He stroked his forehead with his expression a little tired.
Nova didn't sit, she stood quietly, and before Toby said anything, she said lightly, "If it's about Ella, I don't know anything. From the beginning, I don't know what she is arguing with Ewan, and I have no obligation to take care of them."
Toby raised his eyes to look at her. This daughter had grown up, and she was as good as he expected. She might have grown up a long time ago. She no longer needed the role of a father and was no longer
controlled by him. She lived better and easier relying on her own abilities. It’s just he always felt so bad for Nova was always sensible. He didn't find out before that he actually cared about this daughter, like he thought he felt guilty caring less about her mother after her mother passed away. He couldn't sleep all night and all night. People always remembered the past in their twilight, and then repented and confessed.
“Nova, do you decide to marry Jacob?”
“Yes.”
Her answer was so simple and clear, and she didn't even have an explanation for it. Toby was thinking, she probably felt that the explanation was unnecessary for a father like him.
Toby clenched his fists and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and took out a copy from the drawer, spread it to the table, and said, "This is a will I asked a lawyer to help me make." NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Nova frowned and wanted to open her mouth to ask something, but found that she didn't know how to ask. She looked at Toby for a long time, and said softly, "What do you mean by showing me this now?"
Toby looked at her expression, a bitter smile appeared on his mouth, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I will be gone suddenly, and I can't even say anything. This is also my dowry for you."
Nova trembled her lips lightly and did not speak. Instead, she picked up the will. Everything was clearly written in the frame. Nova pressed her lips tightly and read it word by word. Finally, she closed the will and looked up. She said after a long time, "I won't give a cent of the Graham family's shares to Lucie and Ella."
The will said very clearly that once Toby died of illness, Lucie and Ella would take 10% of his 38% of the shares, and all the rest would belong to Nova.
"And, my mother picked this house by herself, I will never leave outsiders living here!"
Toby's face turned pale. He held his chest, and took a breath.
"Nova, don't be so aggressive, I have to leave something for them. They are also my family."
"How about my mother, who will give her anything?"
Nova clenched her fists with her eyes turning red.
"She worked so hard for so many years, but in the end all the things she had was given to others. For so many years, everything that Lucie and Ella use was earned by my mother, even the Graham Group was earned by her." Her voice rose sharply, "Father, you think about it. If it weren't for my mother, you wouldn't be what you are today even with twenty years! Why was she crazy? You forced her! You tell me be considerate of them, and who will consider my mother? Since she passed away, have you ever visited her grave for once? You still want me to be magnanimous when you treat her like this? Don't you think it ridiculous?"
Toby's face turning pale. And he shook his head, but couldn't say anything.
Nova gradually calmed down, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, there was no emotion inside.
"If the will is not amended, I can only take unconventional measures for it."
After speaking, without looking at his expression, she turned and left.
When passing by the living room, Lucie appeared in front of her unexpectedly. Before Nova guessed her intentions, she said straight to the point, "I believe Ella's matter has nothing to do with you."
Nova glanced at her blankly and said calmly, "If Ella had half of your wisdom, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant, but didn't get half of the power."
Lucie's eyes went gloomy. Nova's tone was more and more resembled her mother's. The arrogant expression of looking down upon everyone was really disgusting. She suppressed her anger, smiled, lowered her voice and said, "Do you think I really betrayed your mother with Toby?"
Nova narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "It's not that I thought, but the truth tells me. The age difference between Ella and me is telling me how dirty you are!"
“You...”
Lucie clenched her fists and almost couldn't control her temper. She heard a sudden movement downstairs. She quickly condensed her emotions, smiled, patted Nova's arm, and then stuffed a pile of paper into her hand. She said slowly, "Nova, the property of the Graham family, I have a clear conscience to take it. And your mother..."
She didn't say the second half of the word. There was a hint of shrewdness and sarcasm flickered through her eyes. Nova clenched the paper in her hand and left without saying anything more.
Lucie squinted her eyes and looked at her back. Her efforts for so many years were not for nothing. Lucie was thinking, Nova's mother couldn't win, neither could her!
After getting into the car, Nova hesitated for a long time looking at the paper in hand. She finally opened it slowly, and then she was incredibly shocked.
After the shock, Nova gradually returned to calm. She began to think about where this information came from. Lucie's purpose was clear. If Lucie wanted to completely defeat her, then she didn't mind being completely enemies with her. Nova pursed her lips. She really made Lucie anxious; Otherwise
she would not dare to take out the things she had hidden for so long, but Nova still needed to verify the authenticity of this information, she never believed her. And her father was such a generous person.
The next morning, Nova went to work as usual. What happened last night didn't seem to affect her at all, but when she saw the newspaper at the table, she didn't look so good.
A photo was inserted in the corner of the newspaper and the title was The Returned Beauty Painter Has a Very Happy Talk with a Male Friend who Seemed to Be Lover. Perhaps the reporter was afraid of the power of the Evans family. The title was not very eye-catching, but the photo was a bit vague. However, Nova still caught the clue at a glance.
