Chapter 207 - 207: 119: Grandparent and grandchild meet_3
But now.
He handed these things to Viola Thompson without a second thought, but she barely glanced at them.
How many adults would be ashamed of such behavior!
“Viola,” Patriarch Lentz looked at her, “Have you thought it through?”
Viola nodded slightly, “l have.”
Outside, Bianca Lentz and Zane Lentz were extremely anxious.
Viola had been in the hospital room for a long time, and Patriarch Lentz must have given her many valuable things.
Bianca tried several times to knock on the door, but she managed to hold back.
At that moment.
The door creaked open.
Bianca was the first to react, “How is my father?” Zane also immediately surrounded them.
“Grandfather Lentz is in good condition, don’t worry.”
Bianca looked Viola up and down.
She had underestimated this country girl.
Harlan Lentz was the first to rush into the room, “Father, it wasn’t me and Bianca who didn’t treat you. We even invited Miss Betty Cooper! But my eldest brother didn’t trust Miss Cooper, and he made her angry, which led to your illness! In the end, it was all my elder brother’s fault. If it weren’t for him, Miss Cooper would have healed you!’
Hearing that, Bianca immediately chimed in: “My second brother is right. Back then, in order to cure your illness, our younger sister went out of her way to find Miss Cooper. But my eldest brother and sister-in-law didn’t trust Miss
Cooper…”
As Bianca sobbed, Patriarch Lentz felt uncomfortable and rebuked, “Enough! I have my own ears, and I can tell right from wrong! Aren’t you all just coveting my possessions? While you’re all here, and while I’m still lucid, I’ll divide my possessions today.”
As people age, they become less capable of handling many things.
To avoid such incidents in the future, Patriarch Lentz decided to distribute his assets early.
This way, they wouldn’t covet the inheritance anymore and wouldn’t cause any more shameful incidents.
Upon hearing this, Bianca immediately perked up.
Zane pretended to be unfazed: “Father, in fact, your health is far more important than anything else! ”
“So you mean you want to opt out?” Patriarch Lentz nodded, ‘Good, then I won’t have to divide the property into three shares.”
Hearing that, Zane got anxious, “Dad, you’re misunderstanding me.”
“If I’m not, then shut up!’
Zane stopped talking immediately.
Patriarch Lentz continued, “Over the years, 1 have accumulated a certain amount of shares and savings. As the three of you must know, I will now divide them into three parts, and I won’t be unfair to any of you.”
Lilly White felt something was not right upon hearing this, and frowned, “Father, do you mean that Bianca will get the same share as us?”
“Yes.” Patriarch Lentz nodded.
Hearing this, Lilly White felt even more aggrieved.
It’s said that a married daughter is like a spilled water.
Bianca was just a married girl; why should she have an equal share of the family property?
“Father, I think Bianca should only get half of our share, after all, she is a married woman and has her own family.” Lilly White was being quite generous in even giving Bianca half of their share.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t even grant her half.
Bianca immediately got angry, “Sister, what do you mean by that? What’s wrong with being a married daughter? Does that mean 1 am no longer a member of the Lentz Clan? Yes, I am married! But 1 still pay respects to our father just like you do, so why can’t I have the same as you! And you’re the one who has received higher education! What kind of thinking is this?”
“I’m just stating the facts. Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just use Christmas as an example! For all these years, have you ever come back to spend one Christmas with our father?” Lilly White then said, “You ask sister-in-law, is that not the truth?”
A married daughter wanting to return to her parents’ house and fight for the inheritance is truly absurd?
Lilly White was very upset.
Eleanor Armstrong didn’t want to get involved in this muddy water, “You all discuss it, I’m fine with whatever.’
Although the old man’s property was substantial, it was ultimately not earned by herself.
“Eldest brother?” Lilly White looked at Harlan Lentz.
Harlan Lentz said, “l respect my wife’s opinion.”
Hearing the answers from the two, Bianca suddenly felt emboldened, “Did you hear that? My eldest brother and sister-in-law have no objections, why are you two so opinionated!”
Lilly White frowned slightly and turned to Patriarch Lentz, “Father!”
