Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 179: The Will

A thick silence blanketed the room after the lawyer’s read, leaving the everyone in stunned stillness.

The lawyer looking to be in his early forties paused, glancing curiously at the assembled guests, uncertain about how to continue.
