Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 519: Chapter 280: The Coveted Son-in-Law (First Update)

Blake Leaf nearly dropped the chopsticks in his hand.

”What?! My biological parents left a testament?!” he almost shouted.

It was too unexpected; he couldn’t control his emotions.

Just like when he was a child reading the Harry Potter book, seeing little Harry, who lost his parents and lived under someone else’s roof, receive a letter of acceptance delivered by an owl, opening the door to a new world and discovering he was not a poor little orphan, but a savior in many people’s hearts!

Back then, he had dreamed countless times that if he weren’t the child of this disabled couple but the illegitimate child of some billionaire, how wonderful that would be?

Hearing Spring Spencer’s words now was simply his wildest dream coming true!

No, it was even more real than his wildest dreams!

Because in his wildest dreams, he only imagined himself as a billionaire’s illegitimate child...

And now, Spring Spencer told him that his parents might very likely have left a testament, and it would be very beneficial for him!

Blake Leaf looked eagerly at Spring Spencer, ”Can you tell me what exactly is going on?!”

Spring Spencer saw the people around watching and quickly gestured for Blake to lower his voice, whispering, ”Don’t get so excited... I just found a small detail in the police records from when your parents had their accident.”

”What detail?” Blake’s heart was pounding hard, making his eardrums buzz.

Spring Spencer asked him back, ”Have you ever tried to get the police report from your parents’ accident back then?”

Blake shook his head in astonishment, ”Of course not, who would I ask? I’m not you, you are the daughter of Mr. Spencer; everyone has to respect you.”

Spring Spencer smiled awkwardly.

The person who helped her get the information wasn’t through her father’s connections but through her mother, Ava Harlow’s network.

However, she was very cautious, so she simply explained, ”This isn’t about respect. As the son of your parents, you have the right to request to see the files from back then. Anyway, I’ve gotten them for you now, and you can look at them when you have time.”

With that, Spring Spencer placed a file folder on the dining table.

Blake Leaf held it like a treasure, too eager to look at it in detail, he urged Spring Spencer once again, ”Tell me quickly! What’s the problem?”

”It’s not exactly a problem,” Spring Spencer’s voice rose slightly, and she seemed excited too, after all, she had spent a lot of time researching this, ”The main thing is, I discovered that when the police arrived, your parents said something, just three words: ’Find lawyer.’

Blake didn’t react for a moment and leaned back disappointedly, ”... What kind of detail is this?”

He thought there would be concrete evidence.

Spring Spencer’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, but seeing Blake’s disappointed expression, she patiently explained, ”Perhaps you really haven’t learned about the accident from over twenty years ago. The fact that your parents said ’find lawyer’ before they died indicates that your family had its own lawyer at that time.”

”At that time, your parents were just small business owners, not yet at the level of great wealth after the real estate doubled, so I deduce that they wouldn’t like today’s tycoons call a lawyer for any trivial matter.”

”And there are two scenarios where they would need a lawyer, one related to business, the other to family.”

”The lawyer sought during the accident wouldn’t be business-related, so it must be family-related.”

”And family-related lawyers generally fall into two categories, divorce lawyers and estate lawyers.”

”Consider this, in a near-mortality situation after an accident, which type of lawyer would you want to see?”

Spring Spencer’s confident analysis not only had Blake Leaf listening intently but even Summer Spencer, sitting diagonally across, listened closely.

Then Blake Leaf exclaimed excitedly, ”... Definitely an estate lawyer!”

”Exactly, I deduced there was a 99% chance your parents made a testament!” Spring Spencer raised her voice, eyes gleaming, ”And when handling your parents’ estate later, your sister indeed dealt with all your parents’ assets as if there were no testament!”

”Without a testament, your parents’ assets should have been inherited by you siblings and your grandparents on both sides.”

”However, your maternal and paternal grandparents were no longer alive at that time, so the inheritance rights lay between you siblings and your grandmother. Your sister gave your grandmother a sum of money, if I’m not mistaken, she intended to consider that money as part of the inheritance for your grandmother.”
