Chapter 1337 - 1277: Refusing the Inheritance
Brandon Potter knocked on the door and came in, looking at the boxes on the floor, and asked, "Madam, do you need me to go buy more boxes?"
Sienna Johnson felt a bit embarrassed; she had bought too many things yesterday, and Brandon Potter had helped her carry a lot.

"No need, just these..." She had some jewelry at home; if necessary, she could give Curly some.
Originally, all her jewelry was to be left to Curly, but now with Claire, Sienna couldnāt be too biased.
Moreover, Curly, that girl, had almost gotten all the diamonds Adrian Desmond had.
Curly had far more diamonds than she did.
Adrian Desmond asked, "Is the boat ready?"
"Itās ready."
"Have someone send these boxes to the boat first; weāll leave after breakfast."
They were first going back to Abyanabad from Kalare, then take Adrian Desmondās private jet back to Sileria City.
Since they planned to settle in Sileria City, Adrian had many things to handle.
At that time, Sienna would return to Sileria City first, while Adrian stayed in Abyanabad to handle some business matters.
"Sixth Master, someone named Hamill wants to see you."
"Who is he?"
Brandon Potter said, "He says heās Jackās lawyer."
Adrian frowned slightly, unable to understand why Jackās lawyer would want to see him, but with Night Owl dead, Adrian didnāt want to see anyone related to or involved with Night Owl.
Just as Sienna wished, he wanted to live a peaceful life.
"No, I wonāt see him."
Brandon Potter said, "Hamill says he has something very important to tell you..."
Adrian unhappily looked at Brandon Potter, reprimanding him, "I donāt want to hear it; tell him to get lost!
Brandon Potter, in the future, Iāll only say things once! Donāt make me repeat myself!"
"Yes, Sixth Master!" Brandon Potter hurriedly lowered his head.
Sienna placed her hand on Adrianās shoulder and gently patted him, she said, "Since itās Jackās lawyer, just see him; maybe thereās something really important."
"..."
Sienna took charge for Adrian and said, "Alyssa, bring him in."
Brandon Potter cautiously looked at Adrian, and seeing Adrian didnāt object, he went to fetch the person.
After Brandon Potter left, Sienna said, "You should change your attitude in the future; they may be working for you, but theyāre human too, and they have self-esteem. You canāt always be so ruthless..."
"If I treat women kindly, youād be upset."
Sienna glared at him and said, "It depends on the person. Like Larissa and Joanna, you shouldnāt show them a pleasant face. But with someone like Alyssa, you should treat her kindly.
You canāt let those working for you feel cold-hearted."
"Got it."
Sienna gave Adrian a kiss, her mood was particularly good, her eyes laughed into crescent shapes, and seeing her happy, Adrianās mood brightened considerably.
"So good."
Adrian held her hand, pitifully said, "Canāt you stay with me in Abyanabad for a few more days?"
"The kids and I will wait for you in Sileria City."
"Who is more important, me or the kids?"
Sienna looked at Adrian, as if looking at an immature child, "How can that be the same?"
"Why not, weāre all human, arenāt we?"
"Love equally, alright?"
"No!"
"Youāre the father, why are you jealous of the kids?"
Adrian said jealousy, "My woman thinking of other people makes me uncomfortable."
"Iāll let you do as you wish tonight." Sienna whispered.
"Really?"
Sienna tugged his ear and smiled, but didnāt respond.
Brandon Potter brought Hamill inside.
Hamill was a gray-haired man in his fifties, wearing a suit with circular glasses. He couldnāt speak Chinese or Amwan Language; he started speaking with a pure English accent.
Hamill was afraid they wouldnāt understand, so he brought a translator, but was stunned by Adrianās fluent English.
"Mr. Desmond, your English is excellent."
Adrian asked, "What business do you have with me?"
Thinking of his friendās tragic death, Hamillās beautiful blue eyes dimmed, "Jack is dead, you know that?"
"I know."
Hamill said, "It was my negligence. At the time, he gave me his lifetime collection of wine, I should have been alert.
If I had sensed he wanted to commit suicide then, he might not have died."
Adrian said, "No one could have stopped Jack if he wanted to commit suicide."
Hamill looked at the silent, beautiful Eastern woman sitting beside Adrian. Adrian didnāt like other men staring at Sienna. He shifted his body to block Hamillās view.
Adrian glared at the man fiercely.
"Sorry, your wife is very beautiful."
Hamill found it funny being eyed by this hostile man.
His age could make this woman his granddaughter, why was this young man jealous?
"What purpose do you have for seeing me?"
"Before Jack died, he made a will, leaving all his wealth to you. Iām his lawyer, Iām here concerning this matter."
"I donāt want it!" Adrian didnāt hesitate to refuse.
"This is Jackās wish, hoping youāll accept the inheritance."
"..."
"The Rowell Family has no heirs now; if you donāt inherit this money, it will belong to the state."
"Then let it belong to the state." Adrian didnāt want it.
Hamill looked at Sienna and asked, "Madam, could you help persuade your husband?"
"I respect my husbandās decision!" Sienna expressed her standpoint.
Adrian not wanting it surely had his reasons, whatever the reason, Sienna respected Adrianās decision.
"Iāll go check if breakfast is ready; you take your time talking." Sienna said to Adrian.
Adrian stood up as well, he said to Hamill, "I and Jack are not related, I canāt find a reason to accept this estate.
I decline."
Hamill said, "How could it be unrelated? If Laura were still alive, youād be Lauraās husband, Jackās grandson-in-law...
Jack always treated you as his grandson-in-law..."
Adrian felt Jack was setting him up, even in death, he didnāt forget to set him up.
How could such things be casually spoken of?
Heās Siennaās man, yet he almost became Lauraās man?
Adrian seriously expressed his standpoint, "I only see Laura as a sister, even if Laura were still alive, I wouldnāt fall in love with her."
"..."
"Regarding such statements in the future, please refrain from making rash claims! Otherwise, I will pursue legal action against you."
Hamill apologized, "Iām sorry, I seem to have misspoken."
"Letās go." Adrian left with Sienna, completely ignoring what Hamill would say.
