First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 333

Chapter 333: Chapter 333: All Given to the Adopted Granddaughter

The people whose names were not called displayed looks of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Especially towards Serena Jennings.

After all, in their eyes, there was no way Jasper Linton would leave an inheritance to Serena Jennings.

Yet, Serena Jennings was unexpectedly among those whose names the attorney had called.

"Maybe Old Mr. Linton only left her a dollar!"

"Really?"

"Anyway, I don’t believe Old Mr. Linton would leave her an inheritance; isn’t she the curse of the Linton family?"

"Old Mr. Linton always listens to what Master Garrison says."

These gossips were actually similar to what Serena Jennings was thinking.

She also didn’t believe Jasper Linton would want to leave her anything.

After entering the study, Serena Jennings sat at the back.

The chairs were already set up.

She saw Wendy Linton was very confident, sitting in the first row, right next to Aaron Linton.

Felix Linton and Charles Linton sat in the second row.

They were Jasper Linton’s brother and younger brother respectively.

One focused on politics, the other on business.

All according to Jasper Linton’s plan.

Jared Warren stood at the desk, holding Jasper Linton’s will in his hands, wearing white gloves.

The will was sealed, appearing solemn and mysterious.

"Next, I will begin reading the will that Mr. Jasper Linton, Old Mr. Linton, drafted before his passing..."

As Jared Warren said this, Felix Linton and Charles Linton sat straight up, their postures tense.

Serena Jennings noticed Wendy Linton didn’t have any particular reaction; she appeared very calm and confident.

Even though her eyes were swollen from crying, her pupils seemed even brighter from the tears.

Serena Jennings seemed to see the ambition that couldn’t be hidden in those eyes.

"I, Jasper Linton, in a sound state of mind, possess full civil capability to act. The following outlines my final wishes for the distribution of my estate; may everyone faithfully execute..."

"My elder brother Felix Linton, my younger brother Charles Linton... shall each receive the property rights of villas on Yalara and Loridian Islands and ten billion US Dollars in trust funds... but must immediately resign from their current positions, and must not engage in any management affairs of the Linton Group or its subsidiaries in the future..."

Upon hearing this clause of the will, Aaron Linton inadvertently furrowed his brow, glancing at Felix Linton and Charles Linton.

Their expressions were unexpected to him, seemingly not discontent. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"All properties besides Yalara and Loridian Islands, my complete vehicle portfolio, jewelry, artwork, and auction proceeds... shall belong to my sole heir, Aaron Linton..."

Aaron Linton’s brow furrowed deeper.

"As for Serena Jennings..."

The sudden mention of her name made Serena Jennings lift her gaze slightly.

"Will inherit the charitable foundation under my name."

A big question mark emerged in Serena Jennings’ heart.

"All other Linton family members shall receive one million US Dollars in life and education funds, distributed in check form by Attorney Warren."

"Lastly, concerning The Lynch Group and all enterprises under my name, including but not limited to corporate shares, investment funds, and patent ownership..."

The final content was the real bombshell.

But before Jared Warren spoke it out, Serena Jennings already somewhat anticipated it.

"Shall entirely be inherited by my adopted granddaughter Wendy Linton."

What?

Aaron Linton’s astonished gaze immediately fell upon Wendy Linton.

Wendy Linton was also surprised, covering her mouth with wide eyes, in disbelief.

Among all present, only Serena Jennings remained the calmest.

Originally, she had no interest in Jasper Linton’s estate.

Not stopping to discuss much with Wendy Linton, Aaron Linton left the manor.

Because he saw Serena Jennings quickly walked out.

"Ah... Serena!"

Serena Jennings turned at the sound, seeing Aaron Linton walk briskly toward her.

"Could you... could you accompany me for a walk?"

Aaron Linton asked breathless and out of breath.

Serena Jennings initially wanted to respond with "No."

But inadvertently, she noticed Aaron Linton’s temples.

His temples were all white.

Serena Jennings was shocked.

If she recalled correctly, Aaron Linton should be under fifty years old this year.

Apparently... her biological father was not yet fifty, yet already had graying temples.

"...Sure..."

The words "Not sure" transformed, and Serena Jennings saw Aaron Linton breathe a sigh of relief.

She followed Aaron Linton to the seaside.

The ocean was vast and boundless, its waves crashing, giving an impression of endless yet powerful force.

Serena Jennings didn’t expect Aaron Linton to take her here.

At this time there were very few people by the sea.

The correct statement would be only her and Aaron Linton.

She walked side by side with Aaron Linton, finding the sand underfoot softer and more delicate than she imagined.

Aaron Linton remained silent, Serena Jennings didn’t initiate any conversation.

When the sound of waves repeated countless times in her ears, Serena Jennings finally heard Aaron Linton speak:
