Chapter 727: Chapter 723: Leave a Grandchild for Old-age Care and Burial Assistance
Richelle Dunn couldn’t guess the content of the agreement Mr. Lewis was referring to, so she remained silent.
Roy Lewis nodded, “Let’s do it according to your plan, Grandpa. No matter what, Richelle, the children, and I will definitely stand by your side.”
The lawyer soon arrived.
Mr. Lewis had obviously communicated with the lawyer in advance. Once the lawyer sat down and had a cup of tea, he handed the prepared agreement to Roy Lewis and Richelle Dunn.
They each held a copy and began to read it carefully.
There weren’t many words in the agreement, and Richelle quickly read through it all.
She looked at Mr. Lewis in shock, “Grandpa, is this really appropriate?”
Mr. Lewis took a sip of tea and smiled at her.
“What’s inappropriate about it?”
Richelle was confused by Mr. Lewis’s thoughts, “Grandpa, I still hope that you can leave a way out for yourself. You are giving all your shares, assets, and real estate to the three siblings Timmy, doesn’t that leave you with nothing?”
Mr. Lewis still had a smile on his face, “Who says I have nothing left? Don’t I still have you all? Or are you saying that once this transfer agreement is signed, you will look down upon this penniless old man?”
Richelle shook her head repeatedly, “Grandpa, you know we won’t. But from your standpoint, I still recommend that you retain some property.”
Mr. Lewis replied, “You can rest assured, even if I take a step back and you guys don’t support me, I won’t starve for another hundred years!”
Seeing that she couldn’t persuade him, Richelle reluctantly glanced at Roy Lewis for help.
As a result, Roy Lewis acted as if he didn’t see her signal and just said to Mr. Lewis, “Grandpa, whatever you want to do, just do it according to your plan.”
Mr. Lewis quickly signed the transfer agreement, then said to Roy Lewis and Richelle Dunn.
“I want to see if those beasts will go crazy when they see this agreement tomorrow!”
Mr. Lewis appeared calm and composed.
But Richelle could clearly see a hint of sadness in his eyes that had experienced countless vicissitudes and storms.
…
The next morning, after discussing with Roy Lewis, Richelle asked the three children to take a day off to accompany Mr. Lewis at home.
Richelle also decided not to go out, staying busy with her own work in the study.
At noon, the lawyer sent a photocopy of the transfer agreement to the chat group of the Lewis’ Village.
The gossiping group suddenly went silent, like a bunch of chickens.
About four or five minutes later, Aldo Lewis finally exploded in the group.
Aldo Lewis: “What the fuck does this mean? Are only those three bastards from Roy Lewis’s family considered Lewis’s, and we aren’t?”
No one in the group dared to respond.
Even Elizabeth Lewis and Grace Lewis didn’t make a peep.
Aldo Lewis: “Just remove us from the Lewis family tree then. After all, leaving a false name is even more ironic for us!”
Ahmad: “Mr. Lewis, Mr. Lewis asked if you really want to be removed from the family tree. If so, he will comply with your wishes.”
Only a moment after Ahmad’s words were sent, he received three replies.
Aldo Lewis: “Remove it then. We don’t care about such a false title.”
Elizabeth Lewis: “I never said that!”
Grace Lewis: “I didn’t say it either!”
Suddenly, a voice message appeared in the group.
It was sent from Ahmad’s account, but the voice was clearly Mr. Lewis’s.
“Since Aldo Lewis is so dissatisfied with being a member of the Lewis family, as the family head, I hereby declare that from today, Aldo Lewis and his family of five will be removed from the Lewis family tree. Furthermore, effective immediately, I will sever all ties with Aldo Lewis and his family.”
Mr. Lewis’s voice was old but still powerful and deep.
There was a moment of silence in the group.
Aldo Lewis: “Go to hell…”
Before Aldo could even finish swearing, the chat group displayed a system message.
“Aldo Lewis has been removed from this group by Ahmad.”
Then, one after another, Ahmad removed Aldo Lewis’ family of five from the Lewis family chat group with a system message.
The group was plunged into a long silence.
Shortly after the news broke in the Lewis family group, an announcement was made on Lewis Group’s official website, dismissing Aldo Lewis and his children from all their positions within the company.
The news of Aldo Lewis being expelled from his family by Mr. Lewis spread quickly in Kindur.
Those who used to flatter Aldo Lewis and call him “Mr. Lewis” now avoided him like the plague.
Phones rang incessantly with debt collectors and people trying to distance themselves from Aldo.
Aldo never expected things to develop in this direction.
Originally, he thought he had Mr. Lewis under his thumb.
After all, Mr. Lewis was left with only one son; the others were either dead or imprisoned.
The only remaining son, Sebastian Lewis, was trying to reform himself in prison and live a clean life.
As for the grandsons, Roy Lewis and Alexander Lewis were dead, and Edbert Lewis was still in jail; only Aldo’s son was untainted.
Therefore, he believed that he had a firm grip on Mr. Lewis’ weakness and could make him do whatever he wanted.
After all, at this age, Mr. Lewis had to leave some descendants to support him in his old age, right?
