NovelBookChapter 925: Millard knew his wife well after all these years. He could tell what she was up to.
As they bickered, Maverick arrived. He gave the couple a brief nod before heading toward the hospital room. Tracy grabbed Millard's hand. "Let's go! We need to see what's going on!" In the hospital room, Farris looked at Maverick and asked, "Did you bring the will?" Maverick nodded. He opened his briefcase, pulled out the will he had prepared earlier, and handed it to Farris.
Farris picked up his reading glasses from the table, put them on, and began to examine the document carefully. "I need you to make a few changes,” he said slowly.

"I want to leave 60 percent of everything-my assets and company shares-to Corrine, no strings attached. The other forty percent should be split among the rest.” Maverick froze in shock.
The larger the family, the messier the situation, especially when money was involved. It was common for people to argue over inheritances. To avoid trouble, Farris had changed his will three times. Maverick assumed he'd favor Bruce, but unexpectedly, the biggest beneficiary was someone else.
"Are you sure you want to leave most of your estate to someone who's not family?" Maverick asked.
This was serious. Once the will becknown, Corrine would be the main beneficiary, and it would stir up a lot of controversy. It was hard not to speculate about an outsider getting such a large share.
Farris took off his glasses. "Do you have a better idea?" "To be honest, showing so much favoritism to Miss Holland might backfire on her," Maverick said. He had met Corrine a few times at the Ashton family residence. He also knew the kind of trouble she'd faced there. Given how the Ashton family was, they would never accept Corrine getting most of Farris' estate.

"That's why I need you to add a condition," he said, pausing for a moment. “The others can only get their share if Corrine takes the inheritance." In other words, if the Ashton family didn't support Corrine getting her share of the estate, they would get nothing.
It was a smart move.

"But..." Maverick paused, looking worried. "With Miss Hollandsom e personality, she might turn it down." Farris was silent.
He had tried several times to hand over company any shares to Corrine, but she always refused.
It was clear she wanted nothing to do with the Ashton family andhad ho interest in helping them.
