Jason turned around in surprise, only to find that it was truly Ivan who was coming in.
With a smile, he looked wonderful.
When Ivan entered the living room, Jason immediately asked, "Ivan, where have you been recently? Why can't we get in touch with you at all? Was there someone who tried to stop you from coming back?"
Ivan hugged his mother and greeted his father.
Then he sat on the sofa and answered, "Of course, someone has tried to stop me from coming back, but they didn't succeed. I didn't come back on purpose. I just want to see why they have tried to stop me. After Robert died, I guess someone might be afraid that I know something that could threaten them, so they wanted to let me come back after the estate distribution had been decided. However, they failed to catch me and I hid in a secret place. I know those people have gone to Robert's villa for his estate distribution today. I guess it's the right time now, so I returned."
Ivan had a confident smile. He didn't take things that happened seriously at all. It seemed that he didn't suffer.
Jason asked, "Do you know the decision made today?"
Ivan shook his head. He turned to ask his father, "Dad, what's the final decision today? Did you get into a fight?"
Marcel brief what he had said to Jason just now.
After listening to him, Ivan smiled faintly.
"It seems Sierra Moon is so generous in the estate. However, no matter how generous she is, the estate doesn't belong to her at all."
Upon hearing it, both his parents asked in surprise, "Why is that? Robert didn't leave any will. Sierra Moon is Robert's wife. Unless Sierra Moon would completely give up the estate, why couldn't she inherit it?"
"I have my own reason, of course," said Ivan. Jason asked in surprise, "Do you have Robert's will?"
"Not only that. I'm also the executor of his will. It was set up one year ago."
Upon hearing what Ivan said, Jason cast a glance at him. Suddenly, he felt that probably Georgia's guess was right.
Even if not, Robert was quite cautious, so he must have written a will. That was his style indeed.
"If you had come back later, others would immediately divide Robert's estate already. Fortunately, you've come back at this critical moment now. When do you plan to expose this matter?" asked Jason.
"Will all of them go to Robert's villa again tomorrow? I'll show up then. I'd like to see their expressions and their complacent looks. At that moment, I'll show them Robert's will. I'm sure those people must look quite dramatic."
After Ivan finished speaking, Marcel and Joanna exchanged a glance. They shook their heads helplessly.
They both were persons with integrity and didn't want to involve in such kind of fight. However, they wouldn't stop what their son was going to do.
Since Robert had a will, everything should be according to his will.
Jason immediately told Georgia that Ivan had come back.
Georgia didn't go to work in the past few days. Since she was wealthy enough and her villa was big, she had already set up a small lab in the villa.
Besides accompanying Annie, Georgia did some simple experiments in the lab, just like working from home.
Since what happened to Robert was so sudden and a lot of things hadn't been confirmed, Georgia couldn't accept the fact, nor did she want to dream about something unreal and insisted on thinking that Robert must be still alive. She was afraid that she would go nuts in that way.
Hence, Georgia directly immersed herself in the work. Ivan called her about the decision of the estate distribution today.
Of course, he got to know it from Marcel. Ivan and Jason just passed her the message.
Originally, Georgia had planned to destroy Sierra's plan on the second day. After all, Georgia was Robert's legal wife.
However, Ivan suddenly had come back. After discussing with Ivan, Georgia decided not to expose the fact that Robert and she had married for the time being.
Ivan would expose Robert's will first, which was written a year ago. Georgia could guess that it had nothing to do with Sierra.
In this case, they could see if the generous Sierra would accept the fact that she couldn't inherit even a penny of Robert's estate.
After all, Sierra wouldn't suffer a loss when generously inheriting twenty billion as she planned.
Moreover, Sierra would share the estate with others, which meant to bribe others so that she could quickly inherit the estate. If she had been quite petty and wanted to take over all the estate, there must be a lawsuit against her soon. Then, in the end, none of them could share a penny.
Ivan agreed with Georgia's plan. They would wait and see what would happen tomorrow.
Georgia didn't tell anyone else about her plan.
Not quite a lot of people knew that Ivan had returned.
The matter that he had Robert's will was only known by Georgia, Jason, and his parents. Others had no idea about it. Georgia even didn't tell Elsie or Wilson.
Sometimes, the fewer people knew about something the better. When the Simpsons were gathering again tomorrow, Ivan would see how surprised they would be.
However, when Georgia was waiting for the result patiently at home, Aston called her from the US.
"Hello, Georgia. My aunt woke up again today. She sobered up for a few minutes, so I met her. She said she wants to see you and hopes you can go to the hospital in person. She has passed out again. The doctor isn't sure when exactly she would wake up again, but it wouldn't take too long this time. Do you have time to fly over? My aunt's condition is not very good. I hope you can stay here and wait for her to wake up. Probably in the following few days, my aunt will completely sober up."
Georgia thought for a moment and immediately agreed.
Faintly, she had an intuition that she must make this trip. Otherwise, she would regret it.
"I'll book the earliest air ticket to fly over. Probably I'll arrive tomorrow."
Aston thanked her.
"I know you must be quite busy back home now. Thank you for willing to come here. I'll wait for you. Send me your flight number after you've booked it. I'll send my man to pick you up."
Georgia said OK. After hanging up the phone, she told Elsie and Wilson about this matter and booked the earliest flight that she could find.
The flight would take off at eight o'clock. She would probably arrive there at midnight.
However, there were time differences. When Georgia arrived there, it would be the daytime in the US.
Georgia flew to the US that evening.
She arrived in the US the next morning. Due to the jet lag, after she sat in the car that was sent to pick her up, she entered the hotel next to the hospital and fell asleep.
On the other side, after the long night, the Simpsons went to Robert's villa again.
They discussed with their family members about the decision made earlier after they went home. Everyone agreed with Sierra's estate distribution plan. The lawyer would give them the details today.
The shares would be divided equally. As for the real estate, antiques, paintings, and calligraphy, they would be divided according to the family members' interests. Maisie needed to be taken care of, so they gave her a lot of real estates, antiques, paintings, and calligraphy.
Wesley was still young, so his estate would contain the shares mainly.
As for Sierra, she would mainly inherit Robert's cash and shares. Other family branches would also get small amounts of shares for each.
After the lawyer announced the plan to all of the Simpsons on the scene, Sierra asked if any of them had any suggestions. There were a few knocks on the door. The housekeeper walked to Sierra.
"Excuse me, Missus. Mr. Ivan arrived."
Sierra's expression changed a bit. However, under everyone's gaze, she could only nod.
"Hurry up and let him in."
After a minute, Ivan showed up in front of them.
Marcel and Joanna had come to the villa earlier. They didn't come with Ivan together because Ivan wanted to see the final plan from Sierra's lawyer.
Right then, Ivan showed up stunningly. He took over the list from her father's hand and smiled charmingly at everyone.
"You can ignore your list and plan now. I got Robert's will and I'm the executor of his will as well. Let's have a new discussion about the estate distribution today."
