A Relentless Pursuit for Love

Chapter 693

She did not want to listen to Jace’s will. Her heart throbbed in pain when she heard the word will.

Freya held her hand quietly and told Mister Tobias, “Everyone is here. Let’s start.”

“Alright.” Mister Tobias presented the red-sealed paper bag to the crowd. Then, he opened it slowly and took out the will inside. He formally read the will, “The testator, Jace Yuriel. Gender, male…” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was just the beginning, but the crowd started sobbing. Sage sat there stiffly. She wanted to leave as soon as the lawyer started reading the will. Everything felt so absurd. She was not anyone to him. Why should she be here to listen to his will?! Jace forced her to accept his death, and now he was forcing her to accept his will?! B*stard! Big b*stard!

“Fearing that my family will have disputes over inheritance after my death by accident or non accident, I made this will in Salem City on August 18, Year XXXX, to dispose of my property, interests, and rights as follows: Firstly, property. I currently own properties and interests including, but not limited to X units located in…” Mister Tobias read in an orderly manner, “I devise my property, both real and personal and wherever situated, as follows: Simon Yuriel, my grandfather, with the Yuriel Mansion. Freya Yuriel, my mother, with a property in the Fairview Residence of Nadeem City. Sage Norah, my former wife, with Block 11, Unit 2 of Fairview Residence. I devise Sage Norah my management right to Yuriel Treasure Museum and all shares of the Yuriel Group in my name.”

Upon hearing that, Flynn and Felipe’s eyes widened in shock. “What?!”

Mister Tobias had not finished reading. “If I die from an accident, I’ll be grateful that Miss Sage can take over the position as the CEO of Yuriel Group for my sake.”

Sage listened to all of this with a blank face. The inheritance did not matter to her.

She did not care, but not the certain members of the Yuriel family. There were still some properties and shares left to read, but Flynn and Felipe could not sit still anymore. They did not want to listen anymore!

Flynn’s face turned sullen. “I don’t have any comments about the properties. Jace can give them to whoever he wants. However, how can he simply give away his shares in the Yuriel Group?”

Felipe stood up abruptly too. “That’s right! How can he appoint an outsider to be the Yuriel Group’s CEO? What a joke! Does he think there’s no one else capable in the family?”

The brothers wailed and complained endlessly. Tim sat in the corner, frowned, and said

nothing Grandpa Yuriel said, “Enough. Stop arguing. These are Jace’s inheritance. It’s his freedom and right to distribute it the way he wants it. What does it have to do with you? I’m not dead yet. What’s the fuss?”

“Dad, don’t be silly.” Flynn said, “We didn’t complain when you called us useless and appointed Jace as the CEO. At least Jace is a member of the Yuriel family, but Sage…” Flynn pointed at Sage, but Freya slapped his hand away. She glared at her with her sharp eyes. “What are you pointing at?”. Flynn embarrassingly retracted his hand and heaved his arm. “Anyway, I don’t agree!” “Flynn is right.” Felipe said, “Dad, Freya, I know you both like Sage. However, she’s divorced from Jay. She’s not the Yuriel family’s daughter-in-law anymore. Besides, she’s a member of the Norah Group. Having her be the Yuriel Group’s CEO is ridiculous, isn’t it? What will others think of us? Is there no other capable man in our family? Flynn and I might not be capable, but we still have Henry and my son Zachary…”.

Before Felipe finished speaking, Henry and Zachary shook their hands and stopped him in unison. Henry rejected, “I can’t!” Zachary echoed, “I can’t either!” Henry and Zachary refused, afraid that the heavy responsibility would fall on them. Flynn and Felipe were disappointed in their children. They gave them a hard look and warned, “Shut up! What a loser!” “Enough. Let’s stop.” Sage looked tired and

pale. She said, “Jace has the right to devise his properties in his will, and I have the right not to accept it. I came and listened to the will, but I won’t interfere with your family business.” She stood up and bade goodbye. “Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Freya, I’ll be leaving. Goodbye.” When Sage walked out with Tim and Luther, Zachary came chasing after her. “Sage, please wait a minute. I have something for you…”
