After Cian Channing hung up Simone Coleman's call, his gaze lingered on his desk, on the copy of the will.
The content roughly stated that the testator, upon his death, wished to divide his shares in the Channing Group equally—half to his daughter, Cian Channing, and the other half to Ms. Tessa Caldwell.
As she read, her originally immaculate face turned monstrous with rage, "This infuriates me! I'm so angry! Why would dad divide the inheritance with that wench? Why?"
Typically, when someone dies, they leave all their wealth to their own children.
Yet her father was willing to give half of his Channing Group shares to Tessa Caldwell—why would he do this?
Cian recalled that, long ago, when she was a high school freshman, it happened to be her birthday. Her relationship with Tessa wasn't great but had not reached the level of being irreconcilable. Thus, she invited her to celebrate together.
On that day, her father met Tessa for the first time.
