Dear Sweetheart novel

Chapter 370

Boniel did not bother to appease him but instead turned to Jefferson. “What did you want to say before, Calbert? Is there anything you would like to tell me?”

“I want to claim my right to the Terblanc family inheritance,” Jefferson declared.

Boniel was mystified. “Haven’t you already gotten it? Like your brother, I have already proclaimed in Fossell Church before my friends that you are my heir.”

Arnaud suddenly stood up and slid a document over to Boniel. “You’re a busy man, Dad, and may not know that Calbert had given up his right to be the heir of the Terblanc family. The Philet family, amongst others, are already aware of it.”

Boniel took the documents and, after glancing through them, turned fiercely to Jefferson. “You little sh*t! Despite everything I’ve done for you, you threw everything away?”

Jefferson remained silent.

In response to Arnaud’s terms, he had decided to give up his inheritance rights as he missed his mother. He had also expected Arnaud to produce that document at that opportune moment.

Rayna spoke up, “Calm yourself, Mr. Boniel. In his youthful exuberance, it would have been inevitable for Calbert to have had a lapse in judgment. Everybody makes mistakes.”

“He’s not a ten–year–old boy anymore. Besides, even ten–year–olds would think twice before putting their signatures on anything. He signed the documents himself, Arnaud chimed in at once, aware that Rayna was trying to invoke Boniel’s compassion.

Then, he turned to Boniel to reiterate, “We have rules, Dad. Anything, including inheritance rights, given up voluntarily cannot be reclaimed. I know you love Calbert, but Great–Grandpa’s rules are set in stone. You would also be hurting me if you returned those rights to him. I, too, am your son, after all.”

“That’s where you’re wrong, Mr. Cyrus,” Rayna said with her lips curled, taking advantage of the situation. “No man is without fault. Besides, rules are fixed, but people are not. Your ancestors laid down those rules because the Terblanc family had many heirs back then and was susceptible to an abuse of power. Now, however, you and Calbert are the only heirs to the Terblanc family. You should not deny him the opportunity for one mistake he’d made.”

Arnaud glared at Rayna sharply. “This pertains to our family, Ms. Garland.”

will share the burden of any problems that may arise. I am worried that Calbert might lose his right to inheritance. What if you, Mr. Cyrus, one day make a mistake and lose yours? Wouldn’t the Terblanc family fall into his hands? That is why I think the old–fashioned rules need
