Novel & Cerita Hawthorne House Inheritance Games

I said to him and he nodded slowly. “I understand and I applaud you for taking that risk, but you don’t have to do that anymore,” he said and I nodded slowly. “I know,” I whispered. LATER THAT EVENING “So… if you contribute to the growth of any Harrington-owned company, you still get your inheritance even if you’re unmarried?” Nathaniel repeated, like he was trying to hear it from a different angle or rearrange the words. He slid the paper back into the envelope and handed it to me slowly.

Warren repeated and that was when I got to wrap my head around it. My inheritance? I have an inheritance? I thought they’d already taken everything… "Yes, Olivia is the rightful heiress to the Winehouse corporation and…" “She has been lost for three years, why didn't any of you take over the corporation?” Warren asked, the confusion in his eyes mirrored what was in mine. That fateful night, I gave up on the inheritance. I still vividly remember the assassins who barged into our home that night, they wanted my life but my mother wouldn't let them.

My eyes narrrowed. “Fourteen down,” Grandma said, her voice wobbling. “‘Inheritance.’ Eleven letters.” My head snapped toward her. She looked back at me with wide innocent eyes and I kicked the bed frame again. Nate filled in INHERITANCE without noticing anything. Grandma watched him write with desperate tenderness, her eyes going from his hands to my stomach and back, over and over. I just stared at the crossword until the letters blurred. Then Nate dropped his pen. It rolled off the tray and under Grandma’s bed.

“I’ll come with you.” The Hawthorne estate had always been a place of secrets. It was a sprawling mansion, filled with hidden corners, secret rooms, and the memories of a family that had been torn apart by greed and deception. As Elara and Lucan drove up the long, winding driveway, the sight of the mansion filled Elara with a sense of foreboding. The last time she had been here, it had been to confront Cassia. Now, she was returning to uncover the last pieces of the puzzle that had defined her life.

Nevertheless, the latest competition they concocted surpassed all previous endeavors; determining which one of them would win Mary's heart became an elaborate chess match played out on the delicate board of human connections rather than just dancing around feelings. As I became more aware of my thoughts, an overwhelming sense of dread consumed me. The thought of losing this newfound game lingered at the forefront and chipped away at my composed demeanor. Although defeat seemed imminent, a silent preference surfaced- if someone had to be victorious in this perilous contest for Mary's affection, let it be Victor. Our inheritance was not solely comprised of material wealth but also held great p

Unexpectedly, the second daughter-in-law spoke up, "Flora, I think Haley has a point. In the past, when she passed away, the inheritance was given to Emily. But now, since Haley is alive, it wouldn't be right to continue monopolizing Haley's belongings." The third daughter-in-law chimed in, "Flora just doesn't want to give back her shares, which amounts to fifty percent. It's a huge sum of money. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give it up either." These two women were intentionally trying to bankrupt her! "The matter of the inheritance isn't something that can be changed on a whim," Mr. DeRoss said coldly. "Haley, don't stir up trouble as soon as you come home. Just eat your meal!"

"Father, that's insane! We can't just spy on people!" Wilson's eyes lit up with excitement. "And what's in it for us?" Henry's smile was cold. "The winner will inherit my entire estate, including my law firm. The loser......will get nothing." Emily felt a chill run down her spine. "This is twisted, Father. You're using us as pawns!" Henry's expression turned icy. "This is business, Emily. Don't be naive." Wilson's ambition already had him sold. He had always adored his father and had always wanted to impress him and make him proud. This?....this was the perfect opportunity to prove his worth. " We will do it father" he said without thinking twice. Emily stared at Wilson dazed.

“Then Marcus gets a Pyrrhic victory. He might get the inheritance, but he’ll lose the company. The board won’t follow him after this, they've seen who he really is.” After she hung up, Selene looked at Avalon. “Would it be okay If we lost the inheritance?” “Truthfully, I don’t know. That’s Pierce Holdings, everything Nene built and all I’ve protected for ten years.” “But would we be okay?” Avalon thought about that. “Yeah. We’d be okay. I have Nexus and I have enough money. We will survive.” “More than survive?” “Yeah. More than that.” Selene felt something release in her chest. She confirmed the inheritance mattered, but it wasn’t everything they were.

"Hope you're not doing anything illegal?... Aren't you underaged to drive?... You'll fail if you don't come back to school!... Where have you been!" Laura smiled lightly. "Nope, yup, I know and... I've been playing the game", she'd managed to answer all that as shortly as possible. "What's up with that lame game anyway?... I think they sent me a stupid hoe for some reason..." Laura's eyes widen. "Why did you pick the hoe?!... Who does that?" "What?... It was named 'The Harvest!', what else was I supposed to pick?... A fu*king gun?!", I shot her a questioning look.
