Chapter 231
Jamie was investigating Anya’s mother’s inheritance case and he happened to have a few things to tell her.
After he drove to Oak View Mansion, he headed straight to his cousin’s villa.
Even though the lights were on in the living room when Jamie entered the villa, there was no one in sight, but the sound of their laughter could be faintly heard upstairs.
Jamie automatically went to the second floor.
He followed their laughter after he climbed up the stairs and eventually found them sitting on the bed in the bedroom on the southern side of the villa.
The dim wall lamps lit up the woman’s face softly and gave her a hazy soft glow.
Jamie went into a daze looking at Anya as he leaned against the door. Anya was genuinely gorgeous.
She was even more stunning than the first time he ever laid eyes on her.
Jamie could not help feeling a little attracted to her. However, now was not the time to think about this. He quickly suppressed his feelings before he reached his hand out and knocked on the door gently a few times.
The girls instantly stopped laughing and turned to look and were surprised to see him.
Cindy promptly realized it was her cousin, so she smiled and said, “Jamie, what brings you here? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”
“Well, I needed to talk to Anya, so I came over” Jamie slowly strode over to the ladies as he looked at them with his deep
eyes.
“What do you need to talk about?” Cindy felt curious and continued, “Also, how did you know we were here?”
“Have you forgotten? I already asked you where you were going in the evening this afternoon,” said Jamie as he reached his hand out and tapped her head indulgently with his folder.
“Hmm?” Cindy touched her head as she said, “I completely forgot.”
“Jamie, what did you want to talk to me about?” asked Anya politely as she broke her silence.
“I wanted to talk to you about your mother’s inheritance case,” said Jamie as he handed Anya the folder in his hands. “I already gathered some preliminary evidence for your case, but I’m sure it won’t be enough.”
“Already?” Anya took the folder in surprise before she quickly perused its contents.
Cindy pulled Anya’s arm and said, “My dear, don’t read it here in the bedroom. Go downstairs and read it in the living room. Let me make you some tea. I just happened to have learned Japanese tea ceremony. Come on.”
“Sounds good. I haven’t had your tea in some time.” Jamie had no objection.
He felt it was inappropriate to discuss such a serious subject in the bedroom as well.
“Sure thing” Anya agreed with them.

“Then let’s go.” Cindy pulled Anya along as Jamie followed behind them.
The three of them chatted as they walked to the brightly lit living room on the ground floor. Cindy headed to the kitchen to prepare tea for them.
Anya followed behind Jamie and took a seat on the couch.
“Why don’t you take a look at the material I have here and ask if you have questions?” said Jamie casually after taking a geol.
Anya carefully went through the documents like he said. Since her head was lowered, her dark hair kept scattering forward. For a moment, Jamie wanted to help pull back her long silky hair.
However, he suppressed this urge. He was a gentleman, so he could not touch a woman’s hair as it was simply rude, Instead, he simply sat quietly and looked at her.
After Anya was done going over the material, she asked quizzically, “Jamie, does this mean a case has to be made in my
name?” Content from NôvelDr(a)daisynovel.com.
“Yes. Since your mother has passed away, you will inherit her assets and become the sole executor of her will in theory, so you naturally have to sue the MacMillan family and make your case. Your father has already remarried, so the key document is the agreement your parents made when they got divorced. I have taken a look at this document and it seems to be a forgery.”
“A forgery?” Anya furrowed her brows when she heard what he said.
“Something is wrong with the official family stamp. Also, your mother’s signature doesn’t look right. It is highly possible. that your father forged this agreement at the time of divorce.”
Anya nodded. No wonder the MacMillan family insisted there was no such inheritance from her mother whenever Anya
asked about it.
It seemed the MacMillan family had been plotting about this all along. They had already planned on making her mother leave the MacMillan family without a dime by forging this agreement.
The MacMillan family was absolutely despicable.
