Sebastian politely said, "Hey sis, I haven't received any concrete news of Dad's death yet. When or if I receive any news, I'll surely let everyone in the family group know"
Sebastian's sister said, "That's great. We're all sad about Dad's demise."
"Who told you that something has happened to Dad?" Sebastian asked.
"The old mansion told us that Dad could not be contacted. Sebastian, I was waiting for you to contact all of us, but you did not—"
"I'm not trying to hide it, but we haven't been able to contact Dad for only a day. I'm not sure what has happened to him. How could I just simply say that something has happened to him? What if he returns?" Sebastian said. "If he returns and sees us thinking he was dead, he would only be furious."
"Okay, then. I thought you would have some concrete news!"
"I don't."
"Alright. Sebastian, I'm just prying now. Do you know the contents of Dad's will?" His sisters knew that Sebastian was Dean's heir, and they envied him for it. They also knew that even if Dean had died, Sebastian would inherit most of his wealth.
They could only hope for a small slice of the fortune.
As his children, their father would surely leave them a house, right?
"You have to ask Dad's lawyer about this," Sebastian said. "Dad has always used the inheritance to make me obey him. Things happened so suddenly this time, and I'm not sure whether he even had the time to draw up his will."
"Oh, Sebastian, you don't have to worry. Dad favors boys over girls. With your older brother out of the way, surely, Dad has left everything to you. I envy you!"
"It's too early to say that. With Dad's temper, he might be willing to donate the fortune and not leave anything for his children," Sebastian said mockingly.
"Impossible! Sebastian, Dad isn't like that. He often praised you. You did not make him angry as your brother did. How could he not leave the fortune to you?"
When she arrived, Layla had yet to leave for school. She opened the bag that Lilith had brought and had a look inside.
"Aunt Lilith, what's in the bag? A dress?"
Lilith smiled and took a dressing gown out for Layla to see. "It's a dressing gown. This is for your mother."
"Oh… a dressing gown!" Layla was stunned before asking. "What is a dressing gown? Isn't it just pajamas?"
"Haha! These are not pajamas. It's a dressing gown, but you can call it pajamas." At that moment, the bodyguard came and told Layla that it was time to leave.
"Aunt Lilith, why are you giving this to Mommy? She doesn't like wearing this. She only likes to wear the things that she buys for herself," Layla said while walking toward the door.
