The Battle Over Uncle's Inheritance

After learning that Thomas was in a dire situation, Helen Southgate, my aunt, along with her husband John and daughter Lucy, immediately hurried over.

When they arrived, the doctor issued a notice of critical illness, but Helen didn't want to sign the agreement for the operation.

"Where's Alex? His father is dying, but he hasn't shown up yet?"

I took out my phone and showed my call records to them.

"Maybe he's too busy with work to check his phone."

Helen frowned at the sight of my call log and messages. None of them were replied.

"What can make him so busy that he doesn't look at his mobile phone for hours?"

I sneered in my heart. My cousin was such a lecher. What else could make him so oblivious to everything?

The doctor couldn't stand it anymore.

"How long will it take for you to sign it? Is this the time to wait for his son? The patient will be in greater danger every minute. Do you take human lives as a joke!"

Helen then made up her mind and signed the operation agreement.

The operation was a success. Thomas lost both his legs in this life rather than one of them in my previous life.

I didn't know what Thomas would feel if I told him the difference.

Seeing that Thomas's life was not in danger, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It was at this time Helen and her husband remembered that Alex was still nowhere to be seen.

"Nancy, what's wrong with your cousin? Go to the company and fetch him!"

I pretended to be in a dilemma.

"What if my cousin is attending to clients? If I disturb him, isn't it..."

"Which is more important, money or his father? If he doesn't know the importance, what's the point of making more money?"

Helen was already quite dissatisfied with Alex.

"It's been 12 hours since the accident. What client needs to be attended to for so long?"

I held back my laughter and put on a sad look.

"Aunt Helen, don't blame Alex. He did it for the good of this family. He is the most promising one in our family. I'll send him another message to tell him not to worry."

At this moment, Lucy said angrily.

"Client? He must be on some slut's bed! That's why he hasn't shown up yet!"

Lucy showed us her phone.

On the screen played a video with extremely high likes. Alex was celebrating a girl's birthday.

The video was posted 10 hours ago, and the comments were praising how good the boyfriend was.

10 minutes ago, the top comment written by Alex read, [Baby, I love you forever.]

I stared at the girl in the video and felt that she looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her before.

Helen was fuming with anger.

"This unfilial son, his father is paralyzed, but he still has the mood to coax a woman!"

Alex probably didn't expect that he, who had finally become popular once, would blow his reputation in front of his relatives.

I continued to speak for Alex.

"I don't believe my cousin is such a person. There must be some misunderstanding. I'll go and find him now!"

When Lucy heard this, her eyes lit up. She had never gotten along well with Alex since we were kids. She would not let go of such a good opportunity to see Alex make fun of himself.

However, Helen stopped us.

"Don't go! I want to see when he can remember that he has a seriously ill father!"

John was also disappointed.

"I thought Alex would be the backbone, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. He is really ungrateful!"

I lowered my head with a worried look. No one noticed the flash of gloat in my eyes.

In my previous life, Alex turned a blind eye to his father for ten years. When he returned to the country, he didn't even thank me. He just treated me as a cheap nanny.

I have no objections to Alex inheriting Thomas's properties and assets, but I won't help either Alex or Thomas.

Why should he live a good life abroad while I lived frugally to support his father?

Since they didn't treat me as a human being, I didn't have to save face for them.

I wanted to see what Thomas would say when he found out that his son was busy dating while his legs were amputated.

Helen was aware of my incoming postgraduate entrance exam. She took the responsibility to take care of Thomas and asked me to return to school.

But I refused. I wouldn't waste such a good chance to stay and win a good reputation.

In my previous life, I failed the postgraduate entrance examination because I had to take care of Thomas and didn't have time to study. Failure to be a graduate student was my biggest regret in my previous life.

I wanted my life to return to normal.
