"According to Mr. Darwin's will, all his shares in Herrera Corporation will be transferred to Terrence. Effective immediately, the position of Chairman will be assumed by Terrence."
A cold laugh escaped my lips.
"Wait."
Every head in the room turned toward me.
"When I married Darwin, I invested all of my dowry—converted into cash flow—into Herrera Corporation. How will that be accounted for? That means part of the shares you're handing over to Terrence also belong to me."
The sharp crash of porcelain breaking split the air.
My mother-in-law jabbed her finger toward my face, her voice was shrill and hoarse.
"You already cursed my son to death, and now you dare come for his money? Dream on!"
Immediately, the aunts and uncles chimed in.
"Exactly, Nadine. Have you no shame? Darwin is gone—can't you at least leave some money for his poor mother's old age?"
I raised my hand and pointed to the man standing behind the sofa.
"Darwin is gone, isn't his elder brother still here? What's wrong—doesn't the great brother plan to support his mother?"
A flicker of tension cracked Terrence's expression.
"Sister-in-law, this is my brother's will. Please respect the deceased and stop making a scene."
