They all knew they had no chance at Lincoln Group shares, but they all wanted a cut of the huge fortune Harold had built up over his lifetime.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, come on, don\u2019t worry. My dad always has everyone\u2019s interest at heart, and as the next patriarch, I won\u2019t treat anyone unfairly either.\u201d Michael was really letting all those flatteries go to his head\u2013he was already acting like the next patriarch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMichael, you really are impressive. As long as we have you leading us, there\u2019s no way we\u2019ll lose out.\u201d The Lincoln relatives showered Michael with praise, desperate to butter him up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet got just as much flattery. Despite all the branded outfits and jewelry she wore, her greed and lack of class were impossible to hide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest and Denton stood quietly off to the side, watching the whole scene with growing disappointment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest had been Harold\u2019s butler for almost thirty years. He had practically watched Curtis grow up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He knew that everything the Lincolns had today was thanks to Curtis\u2019s hard work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, Curtis had basically been cast out of the family, and that was the saddest part of all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid Grandpa really not leave a will?\u201d Denton asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He felt certain that, after all his years in the business world, Harold wouldn\u2019t make such a rookie mistake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A patriarch who didn\u2019t make a will ahead of time was just inviting disaster after his death.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even if Harold\u2019s illness came on suddenly, Denton thought he would have made a will years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest didn\u2019t answer. As Harold\u2019s butler, he had to keep his distance on the subject to avoid suspicion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But in truth, Ernest knew Harold had made a will.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The will was with the Lincoln Group\u2019s legal team, split into four copies and held by four different lawyers. If anything happened to Harold, all four would have to present the will together for it to be read.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold always claimed there was no will because he didn\u2019t want anyone to get ideas about tampering with it\u2013or with the lawyers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJuliet, I\u2019ve been the one keeping you company these past years, taking you shopping, hanging out with you. We have a special bond, so you better not leave me out,\u201d said Rosa, one of Michael\u2019s distant cousins.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lincolns\u2018 extended family all had their own little schemes. Each of them made sure to get Juliet and Michael, whom they all considered fools.\u00a0<\/p>\n
dirt on\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rosa, for example, had found a young, handsome model and set him up with Juliet under the pretense of a massage. This was just so she could have something to use against her, in case she didn\u2019t help with the inheritance:\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was the same with Michael. All the distant Lincoln relatives were playing their own games to control Juliet and Michael, whom they saw as easy marks. They each collected their own leverage. Bur Michael and Juliet just lapped up the flattery and didn\u2019t see anything wrong with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael was the type who never reflected on his actions when things went wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest glanced at Michael helplessly. Mr. Michael really didn\u2019t seem like Mr. Harold\u2019s son. And yet, both his sons turned out great, which is quite strange.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Curtis!\u201d Down the hall, Curtis arrived with Adriana. Ernest quickly wiped away his tears and hurried over to greet them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Curtis, you\u2019re finally here. Mr. Harold is still in emergency care\u2013we don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll make it,\u201d Ernest said quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton wanted to talk to Curtis, too, but with all these people around, he couldn\u2019t show how close they really were.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis shot a cold look at Michael and the others. \u201cDid Grandpa leave a will?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest hesitated for a moment, then shook his head without saying a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold had ordered him never to reveal the will\u2019s existence until the very end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s uncles all listened closely. After hearing there was no will, they finally relaxed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rosa smirked. \u201cCurtis, your grandpa kicked you out of the Lincolns. You don\u2019t need to fight for the family assets anymore, right? You\u2019ve made plenty of money on your own these years. Why fight us for any of this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of Curtis\u2019s uncles jumped in, too. \u201cCurtis, since your grandpa kicked you out of the Lincoln Group, you have no claim to the inheritance, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The distant relatives all looked pointedly at Michael.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael tugged on his suit jacket, flashed his expensive watch, and gave a smug grin. \u201cCurtis, your grandpa made it clear he wasn\u2019t leaving you anything. I was there when he had his accident. We were talking about the inheritance. I\u2019m his only son. He said those old agreements were just childish mistakes. Everything he has now belongs to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doctors haven\u2019t said anything, but you\u2019ve already pronounced him dead?\u201d Adriana said angrily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one asked for your opinion. You\u2019re just an orphan+who do you think you are, butting into the Lincolns\u2018 family business?\u201d Juliet snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd who are you, exactly?\u201d Adriana shot back. \u201cA few days living in luxury and you think you\u2019re some kind of rich heiress now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
