Julius immediately frowned and said, "Nonsense!"

Oliver chimed in, "Granduncle, you don't understand. Melissa and Jake are only after my money. But Marisa and Selena? They genuinely care about me. Just look at how much my relationship with Grandma has improved since they arrived. It's all thanks to them. They're much more respectful than Melissa and Jake!"

Julius's face darkened.

But now wasn't the time to delve into family drama. He turned to old Mrs. Horton. "How have you been lately?"

She smiled gently. "I've been doing well. Don't worry."

Julius walked over and sat beside her. The two began to chat, mostly about family matters. Julius did most of the talking while old Mrs. Horton smiled softly, listening.

Sitting there, Julius felt as if he had gone back to his childhood, following his sister-in-law everywhere. She had always been like a mother to him.

Julius could sense that her time was running short, and his heart ached.

After a long time, Nathan finally said, "Uncle, it's perfect timing that you're here. We were just about to go over Mom's will again. With you here, you can be a witness. Plus, your presence should keep Lewis in line."
