Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Stepson Is a Bully: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

BLAZE’S POVI took a sip of the wine set before me, staring at the door. It had been an hour now, more time than I would have expected the lawyer to waste. "What's taking the lawyer so long?" I asked, turning towards Axel.My brother shrugged, placing his hands on the dining table. This wasn't really a meal, just something to keep us occupied till the man came. And yet, Axel had asked for a second round of the sausages that the cooks had brought."Think someone hijacked him on the way?" I tried again. Maybe Axel hadn't really gone to get a lawyer that morning. Perhaps he just wanted to waste my time. I hoped that was not the case, though; I had things to attend to at work and this time I was spending here put a lot of things at stake. I was only here because hearing what Dad's will said was important, and as much as I would have loved to listen to it from Axel, I needed to know what it contained first-hand.Axel let out a small laugh. "You're not that lucky, Blaze. We're going to he

AUTHOR’S POVAxel watched the woman's expression morph from denial into shock. Sure, that was how he looked when he had looked over Blaze's shoulder to see for himself what the will said. This was a huge shock. There was no way anyone had expected this. Of all people, Katie?"Dad played a fast one on us, huh?" Blaze muttered, hands on his chin. He looked troubled, and rightly so. There had to be some form of foul play somewhere"I don't believe this," he said and turned to the lawyer. "Did you switch this will up or something? Tell me where the real thing is."The lawyer stared at him aghast. "Why on earth would I switch this up? You think I'm hiding the real will?" This had to be the most stupid thing he had heard since entering the law profession. What was his business with the Griffin family? What would he gain by hiding the real will from those it belonged to? He understood their shock, and he, too, had been shocked when he had opened it. But that was no reason for them to start

AUTHOR’S POVBlaze moved his eyes over the will again. It was just a piece of paper, yet it brought a lot of devastation. Could he just tear this and share Dad's property himself?"There's a second part of it", the lawyer said, holding another page to him. That wasn't the only document in the folder he had retrieved, and he figured the rest contained more details on how the property would be allocated to Katie. "There are more? Why didn't you say so since?" Blaze took it from him, a small part, hoping they would nullify the one he was already holding. Maybe his father had an explanation for them in the other slips. Perhaps they just had to be patient and read the clues.His father was never one for mystery, though, but since he was just discovering new things about the man he grew up with, there was nothing he should doubt about him now.Way to go, Dad, making sure your death won't be instantly forgotten. He just had to create a lasting, foolish impact. That was all he could conclude

BLAZE’S POV"Sir, these are the letters Greenland sent," my manager's voice interrupted my thoughts. I had even forgotten that he was standing right here.I nodded in response to him. I didn't feel like getting back to work, but as usual, I did what was needed, not what I felt like doing. I folded my hands on the mahogany table."Any trouble with our clients?" I asked. Though I had been away for just a few days, that was enough for new issues to spring up. I doubted there was anything my manager couldn't handle, though, but I just needed to be sure."Not at all," he replied."Alright then, schedule a meeting with the board. There are some things I want to put in place."He nodded, rising. "I hope it's not too personal, but since we're done talking business, I want to ask something unrelated.."If this was him asking for permission, my answer was definitely no. I had a good idea of what 'unrelated' matters entailed. I opened my mouth to dismiss him, but he spoke first."How is your fami

BLAZE’S POVAll I basically did was cast cursory looks through the files and reports she brought to me and offered her some pieces of advice. Clients pulling out was nothing new to me, and I knew how to manage that nicely. But the resources here were dwindling rapidly, and I could sense a loophole somewhere. It seemed like someone was using the absence of a true leader for his benefit. I told her as much, but when she asked how to manage that, I laughed."That's for you to figure out," I informed. "Point your fingers and investigate; I'm sure you'll come up with something interesting.""I hadn't noticed," she told me, and I rolled my eyes. It was plain to anyone with two eyes. To me, all I told her was just basic stuff that anyone business-oriented should know about their situation, but the way she thanked me for it made it sound much more important. Well, I guess it was to her since it was coming from me."We're definitely going to do as you say," she said, nodding her head vigorous
