Chapter 401 Announcing His Will
Old Master Levine's face was livid, and his eyes were full of mockery.
"What makes you think that we will bring her to you just because you have said so? Not to mention that the child hasn't been found, even if we did find her, it has nothing to do with you! I'm warning you, as long as I am alive, you can forget about it!"
Harrison said in a deep voice, "Although she is given birth by Miss Levine, she is also my big brother's blood and bones. She is the heiress of our family. No matter what, we will not give up!"
Old Master Levine laughed coldly. He didn't have the strength to argue with him anymore.
Seeing this, Harrison bowed to him and said politely, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but I will be back."
After that, he turned around and left.
After he left, the butler came in and saw Old Master Levine sitting there with an ashen face. Seeing how sickly-looking he was now, the butler rushed forward.
"Old Master Levine, how are you? Are you alright?"
Old Master Levine waved his hand and pointed to the medicine bottle on the next table.
The butler quickly brought over the medicine and took out a pill for him to take. It was only after a long while that he looked better.
"Poick, give Gimmy a call and ask him come back immediately to see me."
"Yes."
Soon, Gimmy was home.
Old Master Levine called him to the study. The two of them stayed in there for an entire afternoon. No one knew what they had said and what kind of decision they had made there.
However, the next day, Clarissa received another invitation from the Levine family.
They said that they had important things to discuss with her, so she must make a trip to their house.
The invitation was very formal, and the words used were serious and sincere.
However, no matter how Clarissa thought about it, she couldn't think of anything important in the Levine family that had something to do with her, that she must go.
However, since they had already said so, Clarissa had to attend the dinner no matter how reluctant she was.
Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable for her to do so.
Thus, that night, Clarissa went to the Levine family along with Anderson.
When they arrived at the Levine family, they were surprised that everyone in the family was present.
It was not only Old Master Levine, but also Gimmy, Quinne, Gabriela, and a few other elders from the Levine family. Even Old Master Jordan and Old Madam Jordan were also present.
Clarissa was greatly surprised.
"Grandpa, grandma, why are you also here?"
She walked to the side of Old Madam Jordan and asked in confusion.
Both of them looked at her with a strange expression.
Obviously, before Clarissa's arrival, Old Master Levine had already told them the purpose of gathering everyone here today.
Old Madam Jordan looked at her with a complicated look and sighed softly. "Clarissa, since you're here, sit down first. No matter what you hear later, don't be afraid. You'll always be the granddaughter-in-law of our family. No one dares to force you to do anything against your will."
Clarissa was stunned and even more surprised.
She looked back at Anderson with an inquiring look, but found his eyes were deep, and he didn't give her any answer.
Helplessly, Clarissa had no choice but to be seated at her place.
Old Master Levine relapsed in the past two days. The doctor had asked him to rest in bed and not to walk around.
Therefore, when everyone arrived, Old Master Levine was still in his room.
When Old Master Levine heard that everyone was here, he asked the butler to help him change his clothes. Then he sat in the wheelchair and was pushed out.
They hadn't seen each other for a while. Old Master Levine seemed to look more old now.
Old Master Levine, who was originally in high spirits, had already been tortured by the illness to the point that he was as thin as a rake. Only through his bright eyes, one could see that there were still traces of his demeanor in his younger days.
His eyes slowly turned around to look at the faces of the people in the hall, and finally fell on Clarissa's face.
"You're all here. Clarissa, you're here, too."
With a smile on his face, Clarissa quickly stood up.
"Old Master Levine..."
Old Master Levine quickly waved his hand.
"Sit down. Don't stand on ceremony. Make yourself at home."
Clarissa could tell Old Master Levine sounded a little bit tired. Although he had been trying his best to pull together, she could still tell that his condition wasn't good.
She could not help but ask worriedly, "Old Master Levine, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. it's just a recurring illness of mine, but I'm still able to hang on."
He said and raised his eyes to look around. After taking a breath, he said in a deep voice, "I called you all here today because I have something very important to announce. Old Master Jordan, you and Matteo are here to help me be a witness. If there were to be a dispute in the future, you can help me to handle it."
Old Master Jordan frowned. Old Madam Jordan's eyes also revealed a hint of hesitation, but in the end, she still agreed.
"Go ahead! We'll be the witnesses."
"Alright."
Old Master Levine waved his hand behind him, and then a middle-aged woman came over from behind.
Clarissa was a little surprised. She knew this woman. If she remembered correctly, she had seen her at the old mansion of the Levine family at Old Master Levine's birthday party. It was said that she was the former maid who served Vivian. After the death of Vivian, she had been staying at the Levine family. She could be regarded as an elder of the Levine family.
She saw that the woman handed a document to Old Master Levine, who then passed the document to a lawyer next to him and asked the lawyer to open the document personally. After that, he looked at Clarissa.
"I asked you to come here today because I want to announce my will. When I die, you must do it according to my wishes stated in the will, no exception."
Hearing that, everyone showed a surprised expression.
Old Master Levine had been in poor health for a long time. Besides, it was said that he had not much longer time left.
But his will was an internal affair of the Levine family. Since Gillee was sent abroad, only Gimmy had the ability and capability to be the heir of the Levine family.
Therefore, almost everyone acquiesced that Gimmy should be in charge of the Levine family in the future. In fact, the Levine Group was now completely handed over to Gimmy to be in charge.
Since that was the case, everything in the Levine family should naturally belong to Gimmy in the future. Therefore, why did Old Master Levine need to announce his will again in front of so many people?
Everyone was a little confused including Clarissa. She couldn't help but frown.
She was not thinking about Gimmy and the Levine family. She just felt that the announcement Old Master Levine's will was the personal matter of her family.
As a close friend of Old Master Levine, it was reasonable for Old Master Jordan and Old Madam Jordan to be here as witnesses. It was also because of their higher status.
But she and Anderson were only two juniors. With regards to the Levine family's assets, they had nothing to do with it.
Why did Old Master Levine purposely ask them to come here?
However, no matter how much doubt Clarissa had in her heart, she was already here. At this time, it was too late for her to leave,
Clarissa could only force herself to sit there and listen to the rest of the announcement.
Old Master Levine gestured at his lawyer, and the lawyer nodded. He then opened the will and read it aloud.
