Zachary was so upset by Yvette’s words that his chest ached. “This daughter of mine is infuriating,” he thought.

Meanwhile, Lucas wished he could shrink into a tiny gnome. Ms. Zeller’s bravery bewildered him. Couldn’t she see Mr. Chambers’ head practically steaming with anger? He also wondered why Zachary had suddenly made a will, especially summoning Yvette alone, without Nellie, Winona, or Zeke. The entire situation seemed peculiar. Still, Lucas lowered his head further, knowing that sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Zachary took a sip of his coffee, attempting to calm himself. His expression remained gloomy as he sighed softly.

“Yvette, I know you’re still angry about my forcing you to live in the dorms. Let’s put that behind us. I had my reasons. I won’t pressure you to return to the family. This will is a token of my affection. Could you please do me the favor of looking at it?”

Zachary had swallowed his pride, practically begging. Even Lucas felt sorry for him, sensing the depth of Zachary’s feelings for Yvette.

However, Yvette looked up, her brows slightly furrowed. Her gaze was cold, unmoved.

Zachary hung his head in defeat. Is it still not enough? Yvette doesn’t even care about the inheritance. Just how much does she detest me? he thought.

“Give me,” Yvette said.

Instantly, Zachary lifted his head. His eyes shone with immense joy as he replied shakily, “H-Here. Take your time, Yvette. There’s no rush… no rush…”

Zachary carefully placed the documents in Yvette’s hands and attentively refilled her coffee cup as she read.

Even Lucas was astonished by Zachary’s behavior. Is this the same man who ruled the business world? He’s completely devoted to his daughter, he thought.

Yvette skimmed the twenty-page document, spending less than thirty seconds per page. It took her five or six minutes to finish. When she put it down, the coffee Zachary had poured was still warm.

“Yvette, you’ve finished already?” Zachary said, astonished. “Do you want to look again? There are many additional clauses. You—”

Yvette interrupted, “No need. I’m done.”

Zachary was astonished, but he didn’t doubt her. He was simply surprised by her reading speed. How can anyone read that fast? What kind of extraordinary daughter did Lilion and I create? he wondered.

Yet, seeing Yvette’s expressionless face, Zachary felt uneasy. What does this mean? Is she dissatisfied? I already left her 60% of my shares, plus the mansion, my antique collection, and a trust fund, he thought.

Zachary racked his brains, searching for other assets. But he found none. “These are all I have,” he said. “They’re all yours when I’m gone.”

Lucas stood by, astounded. He never imagined the will’s contents would be so shocking. It had essentially made Yvette the future heir of the Chambers family.
