A shiver ran down Clara’s spine.
One of the lawyers placed another set of papers in front of Mr. Antonio.
— And there’s this too.
Miguel stared at Clara with sharp eyes.
— A new testament.
The air seemed to grow heavy.
Clara had never heard the gentleman speak of a will.
Miguel continued:
My grandfather changed his will a month ago.
Clara’s heart raced.
A month ago… that’s when he started showing obvious weakness.
Miguel spoke slowly:
All assets will be transferred to a fund under my administration.
Clara let out a discreet sigh.
At least she wasn’t involved with money.
But then Miguel smiled.
A smile that made her tremble.
— And there is a special clause.
The lawyer opened the last page.
Any individual without blood ties who has maintained frequent contact with Mr. Antônio in the last six months… will be investigated for possible psychological manipulation and attempted financial exploitation.
