The Runaway Groom

Chapter 156

With a cold and severe tone, Irene told Samantha, “You don’t get to decide who the Spencer estate goes to. Also, I’ll investigate my father’s death, and I’ll destroy you if you are guilty.” “And I’ll destroy you if you take a cent from my son’s inheritance!” Samantha retorted.

“Mother…” Ricky was still trying to dissuade Samantha.

Lionel had just died, and they were already fighting right in front of his body. How could he rest in peace at all?

“I’m telling you, Ricky–don’t listen to your father! I’m your only family, and that woman has nothing to do with you!” Samantha bellowed furiously, because it really upset her that her. own son kept siding with Irene.

She was convinced that Ricky’s attitude was all Lionel’s fault, that he had given his son all the wrong ideas!

After all, how could there be a bond between step–siblings?

Moreover, her personal grudge against Irene meant she could not allow him to be family with Irene, and the conflict over the inheritance would only drive them further apart!

Nonetheless, Irene called her out by name right then. “Samantha White–my parents never got divorced, and that makes my mother and myself the designated heirs. No matter what you try, you won’t get anything as long as I decide against it!”

Panic showed in Samantha’s eyes, but she quickly calmed down. “It’s in your father’s will. Everything belongs to Ricky.”

Irene was not about to argue with her in front of Lionel’s body, and quietly told Isaac, “Let’s go.”
