The Woman From Hell

The butler looked at the group and said in a cold voice, "Before Madam Mathilda left, she merely said to let Mr. Tory preside over family affairs. The lawyer will read hers and Mr. Harold's wills." "Let him preside?" Seline seemed dissatisfied. "Why is Grandma letting him preside? Which one of her children isn't more legitimate than him? Does she think that the Zimmersons aren't embarrassed enough?"

Everyone else agreed with what she said and echoed to express their disapproval.

The butler seemed to have grown accustomed to such a situation and said with great calmness, "I know everybody thinks that Mr. Tory isn't fit to preside over

family matters, but this is Madam Mathilda's orders. Now that she's gone, the Zimmersons' family affairs will be left to Mr. Tory to handle. If anyone opposes or disagrees, you can leave the Zimmersons. You'll have nothing to do with the Zimmersons from now on. If you choose to stay, you'll remain a Zimmerson and listen to Mr. Tory's arrangements."

When he was done with his sentence, most of those who opposed him fell silent.

It was the same for Seline. Although she refused to accept it, she chose to clam up and very reluctantly went back to her grandmother's bedside to continue kneeling.

Compared to leaving the Zimmerson family, having Tory preside over family affairs did not seem that hard to accept now.

The lawyer came in no time at all. Everyone looked expectantly at him, hoping to hear their names in the will.
