Chapter 176

Author: The Stranded Fish
Sydney arrived at the McQueen estate. She hurried over when she saw Finella, only to find the old woman's face dark with anger.

Before Sydney could speak, a chilling voice cut through the room. "Instead of preparing for your engagement to Channing, what are you doing here?"

Sydney shrank back in fear. After weighing her words, she still said, "Grandma..."

Finella cut her off. "Who do you think you are? We're not family."

Her cloudy eyes overflowed with malice. "You're nothing but the fil

    David could no longer hold back. He rolled up his sleeves, about to hit Channing. Channing also wanted to fight him. After they punched each other, the house staff pulled them apart at the same time. The scene was instantly thrown into chaos. Nathaniel and Samantha watched this farce calmly. Amid the chaos, Harold was frightened and burst into cries. Samantha could not take it. After asking Nathaniel for permission, she went to Harold and protected him in her arms. Harold simply cried and said, "Mommy, Daddy is hurt. Daddy is hurt!" The boy did not know why Samantha was sitting with another man, nor did he believe Sydney's words about his father and mother having divorced. He was still too young. He still needed time to understand what that word meant. Samantha had not predicted this result either. She picked up the boy and walked to Channing's side. "Calm down." Blood rolled down from the corner of Channing's eye. "How can I?! What belonged to me was taken away by the

    Thanks to Finella's comforting words, Margaret looked much better. She called Sylvester over and asked him to invite the lawyer in. The appointed lawyer looked at everyone and asked, "Madam, should we ask those who are not involved to give us some space for the moment?" Margaret shook her head and said, "It's fine. Read the will." The lawyer agreed and he began reading the will. The will was divided into five shares as he read the beneficiaries' names out. Other than Margaret, there were four other names on it. The names were all children born to Octavius and Margaret. While they had eight children, four had passed away and only four were still alive. David was, of course, included among them. David was Margaret's youngest son. Of course, Margaret would be biased to her youngest son. Once the beneficiaries' names were read, the entire room burst into uproar. The reason? Channing wasn't included. Samantha and Nathaniel looked at each other. Of course, Channing was the on

    There seemed to be nothing suspicious about Octavius's passing. "Where is Octavius now?" Nathaniel wanted to see it. "Mrs. Lane has already arranged for him to be prepared for the funeral. He should be in the mortuary now. The funeral staff are cleaning the mud and dust from his body. We carried him there," Sylvester said. "The will was prepared long ago, I assume?" Nathaniel asked. The butler nodded. "The lawyer has already been invited and will come soon to announce Master Octavius's will." Nathaniel didn't ask anything else. Samantha knew that after Octavius had withdrawn from the Chamber of Commerce, he had always been supporting Channing. Recently, he had also fully restored Channing's position in the Lane Group. He had even publicly said Channing was the group's heir. In the will, the portion of the group shares belonging to Octavius should unquestionably have been left to Channing. Otherwise, there would have been no need to train him for so many years. Suddenly,

    How could Samantha possibly guess what pose Nathaniel liked the most? The reason was simple. Nathaniel changed things every time, and he had tried almost everything. At those times, Samantha had no room to think about what he liked. Her mind would go dizzy, sometimes even went blank. She had nothing to refer to and she would let him take over very quickly after they started. Thinking back on it, her face flushed as she said, "Behind." Nathaniel smiled. "You guessed right." Samantha gave him an innocent look. But the next moment, he… - Nathaniel's hand held Samantha's tear-streaked face and examined it carefully. His fingers brushed lightly over her delicate and fair neck. Then his hand went lower, before he gave her a firm slap at the buttocks. Samantha pouted, her face becoming red. Although she had hated being spanked when she was little, it stirred something in her when it was during a moment like this. Samantha even felt she liked it. After a long while, Nat

    Samantha would set aside two visits each month, two days each, to spend with Harold. The boy was still hers, after all. She had not discussed this with Nathaniel in advance, but she was not too worried. She would tell him that night. Tina and Channing's lawyer reviewed and finalized the agreement on the spot. Samantha left her beautiful signature, and Channing signed afterward. The agreement was filed and notarized, becoming legally binding. Samantha spoke with Harold for a while, mostly asking how he had been eating. Harold had pica before, but it did not seem to have reoccurred recently.After chatting for a while, she was going to leave. Harold asked, "Mommy, where are you going?" Samantha said, "Mommy's going to work." Harold understood. "Like Daddy? Managing lots and lots of people?" Opal had told Harold that Samantha had already started a large company, earned a lot of money, and had many people working for her. Of course, all of that was true. Opal had always pa

    Harold did not understand the adults' issues with each other, after all. It would be hard for him to face and accept such sharp confrontation. It would not be good for him. Channing's face flushed for an instant after he heard what Tina had to say, and he apologized. "I'm sorry." Tina was stunned. She had thought Channing had deliberately brought Harold over to threaten Samantha just now, or that he thought the child could become leverage to restrain Samantha. As a divorce lawyer, she had seen too many examples like this. But Channing's attitude did not look that way. Channing, who had always been kind of a stuck up and despicable whenever divorce was discussed, did not seem like he had come to be a villain today. "He kept asking to see his mother, so I brought him along. Let's communicate in writing," Channing suggested. Samantha nodded. Tina was also about to propose the same method. Harold could not read yet, so they could communicate in writing. Tina handed Ch
