Chapter 659: Chapter 655: The Rotten Descendants of the Lewis Family
Alexander Lewis was one of the most trusted among the old master’s grandchildren, besides Roy Lewis’s immediate family.
However, even he was discarded by the old master himself.
Aldo Lewis and the others got this feeling, as if the end of the world was near.
“Alexander, did the old man really say he will revoke your share inheritance rights? Is this news fake?”
After Alexander left the Lewis’s old house, he went to discuss the strategy with Aldo Lewis and Victoria Lewis.
When he explained the full story, the first thing Aldo asked about were the shares.
“Uncle Aldo, you’re his children. Don’t you know our grandfather’s temperament better than I do?”
“Isn’t that when he was young? Now that he’s old, he may have become soft. As long as the will is not announced, who knows how he will distribute it?”
Aldo comforted Alexander with these words, but in his heart, he didn’t feel any sympathy for Alexander.
He was calculating his own plans.
Because my older brothers committed a crime, the old man immediately announced the revocation of their inheritance rights.
Now add Alexander to that, which means the shares that these three people were supposed to inherit will be redistributed among the rest of us with inheritance rights.
This would add up to a good fortune.
Little did Aldo know, the wrongdoings of these three people were all directed at Richelle Dunn.
Therefore, the inheritance rights they all lost were actually transferred to Richelle by default.
Apart from Alexander’s share, which Roy and Richelle barely knew about, they never expected that the shares from James Lewis and Sebastian Lewis, would also be intended to be given to Richelle.
However, their ignorance was a blessing in disguise.
That way, they could at least save face in front of the old man.
If they knew his intentions, who knows what kind of chaos they would cause.
“Uncle Aldo, Aunt Victoria, my father is not here now, you must help me plead my case to grandfather this time!”
Alexander hated Richelle deeply, but in his heart, he still held out some hope.
However, neither Aldo nor Victoria intended to plead for him.
He had to steel himself, “Uncle Aldo, Aunt Victoria, we initially agreed that we would split the money when we got it. But now without any money and such a mess, we should bear the responsibility together. Look at me now, I’ve lost my job and rights to my inheritance. What will I do in the future?”
In their eyes, Roy had been tightening his grip on power these past years.
Yet, the old man was still biased towards him.
Although they were Roy’s seniors, they had neither money nor power in the Lewis Group.
Only Alexander, whom Roy seemed to favor, was put in charge of the subsidiary responsible for manufacturing in the suburbs a few years ago.
Over these years, Alexander did achieve quite a lot.
Therefore, in the eyes of the old man and Roy, Alexander could still be trusted with serious responsibilities.
However, Alexander had no knowledge of the old man and Roy’s plans.
After his father Sebastian ran into trouble, he became somewhat flustered.
Later, egged on by Aldo and his sisters, he thought of causing trouble for Richelle during the unstable period following Roy’s “death”. They planned to make some money, then set a trap for Richelle, aiming to topple her from the presidency of the Lewis Group all at once.
But for some reason, their cunning plan failed to work with the old man.
“Alexander, we can’t rush this. Even if we want to help you, we must wait for the old man’s anger to calm down,” Victoria echoed.
“Right, what Uncle Aldo said is correct. Going now would be like running into the guns. Not only we wouldn’t help you, but we’d also be adding firewood to the fire.”
Alexander hadn’t even imagined his uncle and aunt, to begin with, had no intention of helping him at all.
“Hehe, now you’re hoping, the old man won’t forgive me, right? Waiting for his anger to die down, you’re waiting, to equally split my share?”
Aldo was taken aback when his thoughts were exposed.
“What are you talking nonsense, Alexander? We intended to help you, but the help cannot be blind, right?”
Alexander was somewhat skeptical.
After some thought, he suddenly asked Aldo.
“Uncle Aldo, have you ever thought that the shares allocated to us by the old man, compared to those that Richelle got from that dead bastard, Roy, are nothing!”
Aldo nodded somewhat helplessly, “Of course, I know. But what can we do? Those were originally Roy’s. If he doesn’t pass them to Richelle, it would go to his three illegitimate children. It’s none of our business.”
Alexander clicked his tongue, “Uncle Aldo, under normal circumstances, of course, but under special circumstances, things might look different!”
Aldo looked confused, “What special circumstances? The protection that the old man set up for those brats is so strong that even a mosquito couldn’t get through. What can we do?”
Alexander looked thoughtful, “There’s always a solution. If we think a little deeper, we might find a way!”
