Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1792

The butler shook his head and lowered his voice. “No matter how you look at it, Old Mr. Morgan fell to ruin at their hands.”

Ian slowly opened his eyes. I wonder if Dad really got destroyed by others, but I can’t say for sure. Sometimes, we tend to be foolish enough to dig our own graves.

Bryce himself decided to marry Leah. Ian wasn’t sure of the circumstance at the time, but judging by the news surrounding Bryce right now…

Well, I suppose my father got what he deserved.

“How has Dad been these few years?” Ian asked the butler, since he wasn’t by his father’s side for the past years.

The butler looked at him. “His mental condition was getting worse, and there weren’t many people he could talk with. He would chat with me sometimes.”

At that, the butler brought up something else. “He missed you a lot. He kept wondering how you were doing. He said that you’re rational in your thoughts, so you probably won’t be maltreated. However, choosing not to fight over something also means you’re missing out.”

In that situation, Bryce’s opinion of him was not what he wanted to hear. Bryce was gone now, so getting told about this wouldn’t do anything to help. Instead, he would just feel even worse.


Seeing Ian’s expression, the butler also realized that he might have said too much. “Who would’ve thought that a large family like the Morgans would come to this?” He sighed faintly.

Ian chuckled softly. He didn’t want to comment further, for he knew that the Morgans would fall to this level sooner or later. Bryce wasn’t an honorable man, so he wouldn’t be able to protect the family property.

The butler, too, fell silent after speaking, and the two were soon enveloped in silence.

After a while, Sean walked over to them. No one could guess what had happened by the look on his face, but Ian figured that even if Leah hadn’t gone to him, Sally or Simon would have. So, after Sean pulled up a chair and sat on it, Ian immediately asked, “Who talked to you just now?”

Sean was stunned as he stared at Ian. “How did you know? Are you a fortune teller or an oracle?”

Ian chuckled. “Nothing of the sort. Leah talked to me just now, so I thought they’d go for you too.”

Sean sounded exasperated as he answered, “It’s Simon.”

Unexpectedly, Simon no longer sounded arrogant, and he had talked to Sean in an amicable tone. Still, Sean could sense that Simon was trying to negotiate.

“Hmm… What did he ask you about?” Ian didn’t seem surprised.

Sean replied, “What else? The will, of course.”

Apparently, the thing Leah and her children were most concerned about now was the will and the property distribution.

The butler couldn’t help but pipe up, “In all the years they’ve spent here, they did nothing but waste money. They didn’t even contribute anything, and now they have the audacity to ask about the will.”
