Ilena is still mourning Brian's sudden departure. Actually Ilena is suspicious of her brother and stepmother for the death of Brian. But he also did not have enough evidence to ensnare the two of them.
Now Ilena must be strong to face the attitude and bad treatment of her brother and stepmother. All night Ilena was still crying over Brian's departure. He hugged a picture of Brian on his chest.
Ilena still hopes that if everything that happened today and yesterday was just a nightmare and she will wake up from that dream.
Morning greetings. Ilena woke up from her sleep because she heard a noise from outside her room. Ilena cleaned herself before leaving the room.
Ten minutes later, Ilena was tidy and met her sister and mother who were talking to a guest, Ralph and a man that Ilena did not recognize.
"Good morning, Ilena. I'm the lawyer of your late father, Emanuel Sanders." The man named Emanuel stretched out his hand.
Ilena received Emanuel's hand. This 40-year-old man looks friendly.
"Sit, Ilena. Emanuel's lawyer will read your father's will" Sorena said in a soft tone. Very different than usual.
Ilena according. He sat next to Selena. Even Selena was warm to Ilena.
"Alright, because everyone has gathered. I'll start reading the will written by Mr. Brian Adams" Emanuel said.
"Wait, Lawyer!" sergeant Ilena.
"What's wrong, Miss Ilena?"
"Dad just died, even the soil of his tomb is still wet. Why are we even talking about a will?"
"Ilena dear, this is a will from your father. Wouldn't it be appropriate for us to carry it out immediately if there is something your father wants," Sorena replied still in her soft voice. In her heart she was so upset that Ilena attacked Emanuel.
"How about, Miss Ilena? Can we continue?"
Ilena nodded. He knew if this was not continued then his stepmother and brother would definitely make him suffer more than before.
Emanuel begins to read the will left by Brian to his family. Everyone looked serious listening to every word that came out of Emanuel's mouth.
Their ears were so stifled to hear Brian's decision they didn't expect. Especially Sorena and Selena. Ilena remained silent and did not want to comment.
"Such a will written by Mr. Adams and endorsed by me as his lawyer" concluded Emanuel.
"Wait a minute, Lawyer! Aren't you misreading my husband's will? How could Ilena and Selena get the same piece? They should..."
Sorena started to protest. Ilena had expected that her stepmother would not agree with her father's decision.
"Madam, I'm just reading what Mr. Adams told me. How could I dare to change the contents of his will. You guys better sign this soon and I'll take care of the transfer of shares on your behalf."
Sorena and Selena looked at each other. Of course they did not accept it because Ilena got the same part as Selena.
"Miss Selena, please sign here. You are entitled to 35 percent of the shares owned by Adams Group" said Emanuel.
Selena seemed to have scrunched her forehead.
"Miss Ilena, please sign it too. You also get the same part as Miss Selena. That's Adams Group's share of 35 percent."
BRACKET!
Sorena's breaking the table. Finally he made his protest manifest.
"How can this bastard get the same share as my daughter! She was never even legally registered as my husband's daughter!" said Sorena in flames.
"Mr Adams has confirmed Miss Ilena as his rightful heir and daughter" Emanuel said.
"WHAT?!" Sorena and Selena are shocked by a reality they never knew.
"No! This is impossible! Even the marriage of my husband and Lorna is not legal in the eyes of the law." Sorena still voiced her protest.
"Madam, please respect the decision of the late Madam's husband. Both of Mr. Adams' daughters get the same share. Because they were both Mr. Adams' real daughters. Then the remaining 30 percent were divided for Madam 10 percent, and Ralph 10 percent, the rest for all Adams Group employees. That's all Mr Adams' final decision. If the Madam does not accept it, then the Madam has the right to file a lawsuit against the court."
Sorena. He thought for a moment.
"How can I only get 10 percent? I have been his wife for decades. I remained faithful to his side even though I knew he had betrayed me. She prefers that j4lang woman over me and my daughter!" Sorena's sentence began to weaken. He feels he has lost.
Emanuel smiled cynically. "For that matter it should be the Madam herself who knows what the reason is. So do you, Mr. Ralph. You've helped Mr. Adams a lot but you only get a 10 percent share. Are you going to protest too?" fischer Emanuel.
It's no secret for Emanuel that Sorena and Ralph are secretly in love behind Brian.
"You! How dare you talk to me that way, huh?! You're just a lawyer my husband paid for and you have no right to interfere in our family affairs!" Sorena was already overwhelmed with anger.
"Mother! Why are you talking rudely to a lawyer?" Selena who does not know about her mother's affair and Ralph trying to calm her mother. He did not want the Adams family's image to be tarnished just because of a will.
"Shut up, Selena! Don't you want to protest too, huh?! You got the same share as this bastard! Did you accept it? You're the Adams family's legitimate daughter. No one can shift your position, son!"
"Mother! Stop this! Although I don't think of him as my brother but in the eyes of the law we are still brothers."
"No, Son! I will never accept being part of this family! No!"
"Stop! Stop everything!" Ilena who was fed up with all this finally spoke up.
"I never wanted anything from my father's possessions. Especially company shares. If Mom and Brother want to take it, then go ahead. But, I only asked you one thing. I want my freedom! I want you guys to no longer bother me!" said Ilena with a gasp. Finally he could voice his heart.
Selena and Sorena rounded their eyes in disbelief at what they had just heard.
"You're serious, Ilena?" sorena asked in a low tone.
"Yes, Mom. I'm serious! I don't want those shares. But allow me to be free. I want to take care of the orphanage."
Selena and Sorena looked at each other. They feel like they are winning now.
"Miss Ilena! Do you really want to do this?" emanuel asked in disbelief.
"Yes, Mr. Attorney. I don't want anything but to be able to take care of the orphanage kids. And for the shares of the company .. just return it on behalf of Sorena's mother. Let me get 10 percent."
Sorena sparkled happily. "Really, Son? Ah, thank you so much." Sorena hugged Ilena. For the first time Ilena felt the warmth of a mother's embrace.
Although in her heart Ilena felt sorry for the condition of her family, but this was better than having endless debates between them.
Choosing to leave the house like hell, is a good decision according to Ilena.
