Farris nodded weakly, his voice barely audible. “I willingly leave all my assets to Corrine Holland.”

Before the final syllable left his lips, the door crashed open.

Tracy burst into the room like a tempest, addressing the lawyer with barely contained rage. “Farris is delirious from his illness. His words are meaningless and legally invalid!”

If not for her meddling, would the Ashton family have fallen so far from grace? Now you’re handing her the shares, deliberately sabotaging our legacy! Besides, Bruce was your chosen successor. He has devoted years of his life to the company. Others may remain ignorant of his sacrifice, but you know the truth all too well. How can Bruce possibly maintain his leadership if you transfer the shares to Corrine?”
