Chapter 278: The Surprise
"Transfer all my assets and shares to Eric," James said decisively.
Wilson, the lawyer, looked up at James in shock. Wasn’t he very fond of Henry? Why was he now leaving him with nothing?
Though the events with Grace hinted at the reasoning, Wilson still furrowed his brow. "Mr. Nelson... just a few days ago, Eric called me and mentioned that if you were planning to change the will, giving him all the shares, assets, and holdings, he wouldn’t accept them."
James felt a painful tightening in his chest. "It’s alright, go ahead and make the changes. Whether he takes them or not is his decision. But giving them is mine."
The once vibrant James now looked as if he had aged decades, his eyes filled with a deep sorrow and weariness.
Maybe losing everything, maybe understanding the truth, is what life is all about.

It was a summer night, the sky vast and starry, but the summer breeze carried a slight humidity. Ella sat in the car, gazing at the scenery outside. She couldn’t help but feel a bit down when she thought about the empty villa—there was no sign of Eric.
He wouldn’t be back until tomorrow, just one night away, yet Ella found herself struggling with how slow time seemed to pass.
The car slowly pulled into the villa’s garage. Ella jumped out of the car, and the driver, who also doubled as a bodyguard, respectfully closed the door behind her, casting a quick glance at her retreating figure.
These two bodyguards were hired by Eric at a significant cost, poached from a top international celebrity.
