The Proud Life of Rebirth
Page 689
"Too much! How could they do this?" Chu Weili said after a long time.
Claire took a deep breath and said, "The position of patriarch is really too attractive."
This afternoon, the old patriarch called old Veron and lawyer Cook over and made a will. Although Chu Huaisha was also called over, as everyone guessed, the old patriarch just told her about the wedding, and then Let her leave first.
As for the heirs in the old patriarch's will, no one knows except the old Veron, Cook and himself.
Although Claire didn't have much hope for the position of patriarch, it would be impossible if he had no idea in his heart, after all, he was also one of the qualified heirs.
Originally, Claire wanted to wait until tomorrow to ask her daughter to talk to Old Veron to see if she had hope, but who knew that his brothers couldn't wait any longer.
"Now I can only hope that old Veron can hold on. If he can wake up, then we can know who did it." Chu Weili said.
As long as you know who killed Old Veron, this will not only bring justice to Old Veron, but also be of great benefit to Claire.
Once this kind of thing is exposed, the guy hiding behind will be rejected by everyone, and his opponents will also make trouble. It is basically impossible for that person to become the patriarch.
So as long as we can find out the mastermind behind the scenes, it means that there is one less competitor!
Claire frowned slightly and shook her head, saying: "Honey, you think the problem is too simple, every patriarchal dispute will be accompanied by countless bloody storms, it's not just a matter of who the old patriarch chooses, it's a matter of A war, a bloody and cruel war!"
Chu Weili frowned upon hearing this, while Mo Shaokun who was beside him nodded slightly.
From a certain point of view, the battle for the patriarch of the Ross family is just like the battle for the throne in China. It doesn't mean that the old patriarch wants to be the heir, it depends on their respective wrists!
For example, now, Claire's other brothers have already taken action. The reason why they deal with the old Veron is to hide the truth, and then they only need to bribe Cook to tamper with the will.
Even if Cook can't be bribed, killing him is still an option. In this way, no one knows who the old patriarch has chosen. If he wants to become the new head of the Ross family, he has to rely on his own means.
From the moment the will was established, an invisible war had already begun.
Who will be the final winner?
No one knows, it doesn't matter who the name on the will is, the key depends on whose method is better!
"Shaokun, I want to ask you a favor." Claire turned to look at Mo Shaokun.
Mo Shaokun nodded and said, "Please tell me."
"I want to ask your friends to help me protect the old Veron. At this time, I can't trust the people around me, let alone the guards of the family." Claire said in a deep voice.
Mo Shaokun seemed a little hesitant when he heard the words. After all, they were Huaxia soldiers, and this was an internal matter of the Ross family. It seemed inappropriate for him to intervene.
"Can you help Grandpa Veron? I don't want anything to happen to him."
Seeing Mo Shaokun hesitate, Chu Huaisha looked at him with mist in his eyes.
Seeing this, Mo Shaokun sighed softly in his heart. This incident had already made him feel a little sorry for Chu Huaisha. Facing her request at this moment, he really couldn't refuse.
"Okay, but I don't think other people will agree." Mo Shaokun took a deep breath and looked at Claire.
A cold look flashed in Claire's eyes and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I believe they will agree."
Mo Shaokun nodded, and was about to speak when there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside.
Soon Harriman, Punk, Baikal, Konga, and Jester walked in frowning.
"Damn it, what happened?! Why did old Veron fall from the building? Claire, I need an explanation!" Harry said angrily.
Claire looked at him with a frown and said with a sneer, "Dear brother, I also really want to know what's going on."
Harriman squinted his eyes slightly and looked at him, then turned to look at Mo Shaokun after a while and asked, "I heard that your people were the first to discover the old Veron's fall from the building?"
Mo Shaokun got up slowly, looked at Harriman and said, "Yes, but I have to correct one thing, Old Veron didn't fall from the building, but was pushed down from upstairs."
"Oh? What evidence do you have for saying that?" Punk sneered.
"My brother saw with his own eyes that Old Veron was taken to the top of the building and then pushed down. What evidence do we need? Old Veron wouldn't jump off the stairs by himself, right?" Mo Shaokun sneered.
"That's not necessarily the case. Old Veron is old after all, and it's very possible for his old eyes to stumble and fall for a while." Punk said.
At this moment, he and Harriman were really itching with hatred in their hearts. How could they be seen by Mo Shaokun's people so well?
Before Mo Shaokun could speak, Chu Huaisha said, "Impossible! Although Grandpa Veron is old, he has always been in good health. How could he slip and fall? And it is impossible for him to be alone at night." Go to the roof!"
Everyone looked at Chu Huaisha, and then Baikal looked at Mo Shaokun with a gloomy expression and said, "Young man, I think you should explain why your people are peeping around with binoculars in the middle of the night? Don't you even have the most basic manners?" Don't you understand?"
"I think you must have misunderstood. My brother just accidentally saw this scene when he was adjusting the telescope upstairs. He didn't intend to spy on anything. And don't you think it's pointless to entangle this issue at this time? ?" Mo Shaokun kept a calm expression on his face and spoke nonsense, but he was really ashamed in his heart.
Tian Meng and Hu Sanquan... are really speechless.
"Hmph, is it?" Baikal snorted coldly.
Harriman and his son looked at each other, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Come on, take this gentleman and his companions down, and they are not allowed to leave or move around at will until this matter is clarified! "
Immediately, several big men in black rushed in, trying to get rough on Mo Shaokun.
Mo Shaokun frowned and looked at Harriman and asked, "I don't understand what you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? Our Ross family hasn't had this kind of thing for decades, and now this kind of thing happened within a few days after you came here. I'm sorry, I can hardly believe that this has nothing to do with you!" He also glanced at Claire.
His meaning was very clear, he just wanted to put shit on Mo Shaokun's head!
Mo Shaokun is Claire's son-in-law, and Claire is still in a disadvantaged position in this succession battle. In order to help his father-in-law become the head of the Ross family, Mo Shaokun wants to kill the witnesses of the will to give Claire a chance. It makes perfect sense.
Hearing Harriman's words, Clareton became angry. He didn't expect that Harriman wanted to put this shit on himself and Mo Shaokun as soon as he came!
He strode forward and stood in front of Mo Shaokun, gave those big men in black a cold look and said, "Go away!"
Chapter 812
"Harriman! What do you want to do?" Claire looked at Harriman with an unfriendly expression.
Mo Shaokun is his son-in-law, if Harriman's people take him away like this, then he, Claire, would be too useless.
"Claire, I hope you can calm down. At this moment, we all want to find out the matter as soon as possible. I have no other intentions. I just hope that they can cooperate with the investigation, that's all." Harriman said with a half-smile .
"Joke! Claire, we all know it, don't you? You don't need to play this game in front of me! Shaokun is Sally's fiancé, you want to take him away in front of me? Why don't we go to our father now and say Say?" Claire sneered.
Hearing what Claire said, Harriman frowned slightly, and went to talk to the old patriarch?Don't be kidding, it's not good to bring things to the old patriarch at this time.
With the temper of the old patriarch, he will definitely be furious when he finds out. Although he has not lived for a few days, he still holds the most power in the Ross family. If he is really furious and wants to investigate thoroughly, no one can guarantee that the Could something be found out before he died.
After a moment of silence, Harriman said: "Claire, my brother, I think you should be very clear about your father's current physical condition. I think it's best not to let him know until the matter is clear, so as not to aggravate his condition."
Claire didn't speak but looked at Harriman with a sneer.
The people on the side also looked at them silently.
