Carlos was still somewhat bewildered at this point. Secing them berate Nina, he immediately said, "What are you all blabbering about? Nina is so young, how could she possibly mean that? Just because you were eyeing the inheritance even before your own son's death, do you think everyone else is the same as you?"
The two elders were livid, their faces a shade of ghastly pale. However, seeing their son on the brink of death evoked a sense of deep sadness and urgency in them. They released their pent-up anger, fueled by the fear of losing their son. They were worried that if they didn't sign the agreement in time, they would be at the mercy of others. In a fit of desperation, they turned to Sarah and cried out in anguish, "What are you waiting for? Do you really want my son to die discontented?"
After that, the two elders genuinely broke down in tears. This was not an act; after all, their only son was on the verge of death. Hence, those present who were unaware of the truth found it hard to say anything at that moment.
In the end, Nina, still just a child, was left utterly bewildered by the situation. She was left standing there, lost and confused. She couldn't understand why. Why is this happening? Why did my father, grandfather, and grandmother treat me and my mother this way? Is it because we're not good enough?
Sarah closed her eyes for a moment, wiping away her tears. She picked up her phone and made a call, urging her lawyer to come as soon as possible.
Carlos wanted to say something more, but chose not to interfere in the end since Sarah had made up her mind.
At that moment, the two elderly individuals finally rushed to the bedside, grabbing their son's hand and crying; while Benett let out a sigh of relief. For a while, he grappled with the reality of his impending death, overwhelmed by intense grief. Isabella really couldn't hold back any longer. She was about to step forward and speak up, but Alexander stopped her. "Audrey, Adam, and Caitlin will be here soon. Can you please step outside for a moment?"
Carlos had intended to offer to pick them up, but he hesitated when he caught Alexander's gaze.
Sarah was actually somewhat drained, so she didn't dwell on it. However, when she turned around and saw her daughter still in a daze, she figured she'd have to inform her parents about the bizarre divorce arrangement later. It would also be a good opportunity to explain the situation clearly to her daughter to avoid leaving her with any psychological trauma.
And so, the Quirk family members in the ward left the room.
Upon stepping out, however, there was no one else in sight.
Puzzled, Sarah turned her gaze toward Alexander. Nevertheless, Alexander, brushing off her confusion, nudged open the door to the vacant ward beside them, signaling for her to enter.
Carlos and his siblings wanted to follow suit, but Alexander stopped them at the door.
When Sarah entered, she brought Nina with her. They both looked around the empty room, expressing their confusion..
Without any unnecessary chatter, Alexander picked up his phone and handed it to Sarah, indicating for her to take a look.

Sarah took the phone and began to play the video. The people in it were strangers to her, yet as the dialogue unfolded, the color gradually drained from her face. The redness that had once been a reflection into a fiery red of anger.

With quick reflexes, Isabella swiftly caught her.
"Mom, Mom!" By the time the video started playing, Nina had already regained her composure. Seeing her mother in such a state, she immediately burst into even more intense tears.
"This can't be true, can it?" Even the strongest woman would struggle to accept that she had been kept in the dark from the beginning.
However, the ones who responded to her were not Alexander and Isabella.
Nina sobbed. "Mom, it's true. I saw it with my own eyes... they are Dad's... He's not my dad, he's their dad. He only loves them, he doesn't love me at all! Mom, I wanted to stop you, I didn't want to give them anything. Why? Why should we? It was you who worked so hard for all this. Why should we give it to them?"
Sigh, those so-called inheritances were actually amassed mainly through Sarah's management and the Quirk family's influence. Benett was at most a high-ranking employee. Everything he's providing for his parents now is more than enough. He's truly greedy, even wanting to swindle all of the empire Sarah worked so hard to build, just to let his mistress and illegitimate children enjoy it. Not leaving a single penny for his own daughter, he couldn't be more shameless.
