“They just rely on having the numbers to push us around. My husband is her only son. How could we possibly ignore her?”
Byron listened to Milana, and honestly, he thought she’d lost her mind. Seizing the old lady’s assets?
Lydia was the legendary hacker J, daughter of the richest man in the city, and Connor was a retired major general, head of the Jefferson family in the Capital. Would these two really try to snatch an old woman’s inheritance? No one would buy that story. Byron definitely didn’t.
As Byron glanced between Connor and Lydia, sizing them up, Jenson rushed to explain, “That’s right, officer. My mother owns thirty percent of the company. Lydia isn’t part of the Smith family. She has no claim to any inheritance. She’s just keeping my mother from us because she wants a piece of our family’s fortune.”
Lydia smirked. “So, you’re saying you came to see Grandma out of the goodness of your heart? Not for her money?”
Jenson hesitated, then quickly nodded. “Of course. I’m her only son. She’s bedridden now, so it’s my duty to take care of her.”
“Alright, then. Since you’re so dedicated, you can stay and help take care of Grandma from now on. You can also cover half of her medical bills.”
As soon as Lydia spoke, Jenson’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. Milana looked like she was about to explode from anger. Lydia actually expected them to stay and look after the old lady, and pay half the bills?
“Go ahead and say it in front of the officer. If you refuse, it just proves you’re only here for her assets, not because you care. If that’s the case, don’t bother coming to see her again.” Lydia’s voice was ice cold.
