My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

729 Chapter 728

As Oliver stood there, his expression darkened, and his eyes filled with bitterness. Julius began reading aloud from the will: "The late Mrs. Horton held a 20% stake in Horton Group, three properties—two in Oceanion, one in Clance—and $900 million in savings, along with a collection of jewelry. As per her last will, she has left 5% of her Horton Group shares to her granddaughter-in-law."

Oliver let out a derisive laugh. "You all heard that, right? Even an outsider like Keera gets 5% of the shares, but what about us from the main branch? Nothing!"

Before anyone could respond, Julius glared at Oliver. "You'll shut your mouth until I finish reading."

Oliver sneered. "Finish it all you want. The result's the same, nothing for us."

Julius continued reading in an even tone: "The remaining 15% of her shares will be divided equally between her son, Nathan Horton, her grandson, Lewis Horton, and her great-grandson, Jake Horton. Each of them will receive 5%. The two Oceanion properties go to Lewis Horton, while the Clance property is left to Jake Horton. Her $900 million in savings is to be split equally among the three heirs. The entire collection of jewelry is bequeathed to Keera Olsen."

"..."

The room fell into an immediate silence after Julius finished.

No one moved or spoke. Even Oliver was at a loss for words, staring in disbelief at the document Julius held in his hand.

"How is that possible? This doesn't make any sense... There's no way she left something for us..."

Julius fixed his gaze on Oliver. "That's right, Oliver. Originally, the shares meant for the main branch were intended for you. But because of your actions, all inheritance from your branch is now transferred to Jake."

Oliver staggered back, his legs giving way as he muttered, "No... this can't be happening."

Lewis, who had been standing silently, finally spoke. "Grandma may have favored me in some ways, but she never neglected the main branch. Oliver, do you get it now?"

Oliver shook his head, eyes wide. "No, this is impossible..."

He turned to Jake, fury flashing in his eyes, and rushed toward him. "I'm your father! You better hand over those shares to me right now!"
