Half the Xung wealth

1156 Words
Ana didn't know a will reading could be this emotional, she had known Papa Li for only a year, but she felt so much emotion from the response in the room. Papa Li was loved and he was a kind man even in death. Carried away by too much emotion she forgot her name hadn't been mentioned which was the reason why she was here. It didn't border her anymore, Ana was consumed in the moment and emotions. “To my Grandson Peter Ned Xung,” Peter sighed in relief, finally what he had been waiting for. “You took after your grandmother. You are smart but impatient, which makes you not see things for what they are. You would learn and maybe the hard way” Smiled, old man was dressing him down for the underworld. An image of him, at his office giving one of those responsible speeches, came to him. He had to admit he was a reckless teenager, and with his father's death, Papa Li had to assume the role of a father. “Peter Ned Xung” Mark called as stated in the will and brought Peter back to the present. “I leave to you, half the rest of all my property, assets, cash, and companies in the country and outside the country” Peter wanted to celebrate but stopped when he recalled there was a mention of the word “half “You have been doing great as the Xung Companies C.E.O_” “Barrister Mark, can you please go over that again?” Peter interrupted and wanted to be sure he heard right. “You have been_” “No, No, No, not that the one be that” Stella too had heard the half but wasn't sure what it meant. The old man didn't give her the diamonds and still hasn't mentioned it so far as a consolation to her. If Peter gets them, she can get them from him, Mother to son way. “I leave to you, half the rest of all my property, assets, cash, and companies in the country and outside the country” Mark repeated for the clarification Peter wanted. “How do you mean half? What does he mean by that?” Peter asked not wanting to take any chance. “It means you get only half your grandfather’s wealth,” Mark Explained. “That's a joke right, I'm the only heir, I should say everything. And who gets the other half?” Peter asked if his anger was back. “If you would wait patiently till the end of the reading, we might find out,” Mark told him. “I don't think I can wait that long, my grandfather can not give me only half the Xung wealth when I'm the only heir,” Peter said and looked to his mother for support. “I'm the only female family member but didn't get your grandmother’s jewelry” Stella wanted so much to tell him that. But rather begged him to sit down and wait till the reading was finished, for them to see where things were going. “Continue the reading” she urged Mark when Peter was calm. “Thank you” Mark appreciated Stella for putting the boy in order. “You have been doing great as the Xung Companies C.E.O., you will continue to operate in that position overseeing all the companies” Mark continued. “Miss Ana Scott '' Ana was startled at the call of her name. “I know you would be wondering why you are near, you are kind and smart. You are the kind of daughter Madaline and I wanted to have, but couldn't. My Madaline would love you, I'm with her now, and I can assure you she approves of what I have done” As Mark continued to read the hair on Ana's skin began to stand and she was cold from fear of where all of this was heading to. “To you Ana Scott, I leave to you the other half of the rest of my property, assets, cash, and companies” “What?” Peter and Stella shouted in unionism. “No, no, no, no” Ana began to stutter. This is the biggest joke of the century. Peter began to laugh, he also found it funny. His grandfather would give half of the Xung wealth to his low-life caregiver. He was going to contest this in court. “This is not happening, I can't sit here listening to this joke” He stood up to leave but was held back by his mother. Stella believes there is more to this than meets the eye, and she would get to the bottom of it. But first, she needed Peter to calm down and manage his frequent outbursts which would not do any good for now. She understands his anger, it is ridiculous to think Papa Li will give out what belongs to the family to a lowlife stranger. “ this bullshit, Mom, you think papa li would do a thing like this. No Mom he would never. I have a feeling this Barrister has something to do with this and he is working with this thief! The thief that calls herself a Caregiver'' he pointed and moved towards Ana in anger. Ana quickly went hiding behind Gloria who was more than willing to shield her from the raging Peter from fear he was going to hit her. “I have walked with your family for more than Twenty years, be mindful of your acquisitions Mark quickly warned Peter. “You should be mindful, because when I am done with you, and this gold digger here, you won't have a career to return to” Peter threatened. “When you are done I would like to finish this reading,” Mark told him, ignoring his threats because he had nothing to worry about. The Will was exactly what Papa Li wanted and he also anticipated Peter's reaction. “Oh there is more, you have more jokes to read to us_ why not? Bring it on_ because this is a f*****g circus” Peter mocked but sat still, to hear what more Mark claims his grandfather has to say. “I know by now, having heard the last article, Peter, my grandson, would be angry by now and be displaying his foolish impatient attitude. If you Peter or any other party involved doubts this reading I have made a video replica of this will, you can always watch it to clear your doubts” “I definitely would want to see that” Peter requested. “I will give you a copy before I go,” Mark said to him. “However, there are conditions to getting all that I have left for each of you” and with this statement, Mark got back the attention of everyone.
