Chapter 528 - Five Hundred And Twenty-Eight: Arent We All Evil (1/2)

The third point of view:

”It's about Fernandez's wealth,”

”What about Fernandez's wealth?” Cecil asked.

”Don't you know?” Rita stared at her like she has grown two heads, ”Fernandez left everything he has for your son, Pedro,”

Cecil was sincerely taken aback by her revelation. Although when he was alive, Fernandez had claimed he wanted her son so he could inherit his ”great empire”, but she never thought he was serious. Cecil had assumed he was trying to entice her with his riches into giving Pedro to him. So the asshole still had a heart.

”Well, I'm thankful for the fact that he had his son in mind but I'm sorry, my son Pedro doesn't need anything from that monster,” Cecil concluded.

No, that money sponsored his evil lifestyle when he was alive. There was no way Pedro was touching those resources else the same spirit from her father possessed him. Cecil was spiritual and knew some attributes were inherent. Moreover, wealth when not controlled and at a young age has a way of messing with people's minds.

”I'm sorry,” Rita smiled at her, ”But it doesn't work that way,”

”What do you mean by that?” Cecil didn't like where this was going, she had a bad premonition about it.

”Unless Pedro accepts his responsibility as his son, Fernandez's family members will be unable to receive their share of their inheritance. If Pedro goes ahead to reject the offer, then his wealth will be distributed to the society,” Rita voice's became serious, ”You of all people should know Lucinda wouldn't stand for this,”

And yes, Fernandez's crazy-ass mother wouldn't accept this.

Cecil pressed her temple, her head was throbbing. Even in death, the man still wouldn't let go. She could already imagine Fernandez laughing his lungs out from hell at her helplessness.

”This is not as easy as I thought,” Cecil murmured more to herself.

”Of course, I lived with that crazy man for years. He would surely give you a thrill for his money,”

That moment the waiter arrived with her water and Cecil accepted it, looking into the water, no faint bubbles or particles were floating, it was clean, and downed everything in one gulp. She felt better.

”But you don't have to worry, I have a way of exploiting the will,” Rita's eyes gleamed.

”You have?” Cecil's gaze narrowed suspiciously.

”Unlike you who want nothing from Fernandez, I want everything from him as compensation for the horror I went through in his hands,” Rita said to her.

Cecil reminded her, ”No one forced you into marrying him, it was your choice,”

”I was deceived just like you,” the woman claimed, but Cecil had a different opinion on that.

”No, I was the one who was deceived, not you. I was his first victim and you probably went ahead to marry him even after hearing my story and probably other women's stories before he married you. But then, you were blinded by his riches and dived head deep into the marriage nonetheless. However, when you saw he wasn't what you expected nor did he change, your eyes became open and sought for a way out which was impossible,”

Embarrassment burned her cheeks, Cecil completely saw through her.
