Chapter 227: Wise
"Sir Roberts, are you certain this is a wise decision? I would strongly advise against it."
Robert Collins shook his head and offered the lawyer a faint smile. "I’m very sure this is a wise decision, okay? I had previously named Spencer as the sole heir, and now I want to include Adir Collins as a beneficiary as well. You can speak to Patrick—he’ll provide you with the adoption papers. Just follow my instructions and make the changes."
The lawyer hesitated, his brow furrowed as he looked at his client. "Sir Roberts, I must urge you once again to reconsider. Adir Collins is adopted, and still a minor. This decision could raise complications—not only legal but emotional. All his life, Spencer has been known as your heir. This change may not sit well with him."
Robert Collins’s expression didn’t shift. His voice remained calm but firm. "I’ve already thought this through. Adir may be young, but he’s part of this family now. I will not be revisiting this decision. It’s final. As for Spencer, I will make him understand. Soon, he will have his grandmother’s estate so naturally losing a bit of mine won’t make much of a difference to him."
The lawyer opened his mouth as if to press further, but at that moment the door opened and Patrick stepped into the room.
Robert turned slightly toward the sound. "That’ll be all, Mr. Darrow. You can leave now." His tone made it clear the discussion was over.
Mr. Darrow hesitated a beat, then gathered his briefcase with a quiet nod. As he passed Patrick on his way out, he offered a tight-lipped smile and left without a word.
Patrick looked from the door to Robert. "What was that about? Why was the lawyer here?"
Robert leaned back against the back of the bed, waving a hand dismissively. "Just a few updates to the will. Nothing important."
