His soul-Chapter 172: Big secret

6 months ago.

The night before Barbara Sanders’ death.

Vanessa, who had just finished tidying the dining table, was seen carrying a tray of her in-laws’ favorite Red Tea, it had been almost ten years since Barbara and Yohanes Sanders had consumed Red Tea. Red tea or rooibos tea is made from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis bush. Red tea contains high antioxidants, namely asphaltathin and quercetin. The antioxidants contained in red tea can help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. That’s why Barbara and her husband regularly consume this extraordinary tea.

When they almost arrived at the backyard where her two in-laws were relaxing, Vanessa suddenly stopped her steps when she heard Barbara and Yohanes Sanders’ serious conversation discussing the issue of inheritance for Julian’s children, including Gina, who already had a clear status in the Sanders family.

"Vanessa would be angry if the inheritance that should have fallen on Diego we transferred to Gina, Barbara," said Yohanes Sanders seriously.

"Diego is not Julian’s biological son, Yohanes. Neither Vanessa nor Diego have the right to be angry if we give two-thirds of Diego’s share to Gina. Gina is our legal descendant, our first grandchild. Obviously she deserves a bigger share than Diego, whose only stepson, Julian." Barbara immediately responded to her husband’s words firmly, her intention to make Gina the rightful heir to the Sanders family was made up.

Yohanes Sanders was silent, he could not answer his wife’s words. Every time he discusses this he will lose because what Barbara said is true, Gina is far more entitled than Diego. Even for now, Gina’s position is still stronger than Selena or Rosa.

"But Diego’s name is already on the ..."

"No, I’ve changed it." Barbara immediately cut off Yohanes’s words quickly

"What?"

Barbara smiled. "Yes, I have changed the contents of our inheritance. I transferred all of Diego’s shares to Gina, my first grandchild. Currently Diego only gets 10% of our property, Selena and Rosa each get 20% and Gina becomes the heir The biggest is because I get a 50% share of all the assets belonging to the Sanders family. I have also left 60% of my jewelry to Gina, the remaining 30% I gave to Selena and Rosa. As for Vanessa, I gave a 10% share."

"Barbara, are you crazy??" Yohanes shouted loudly, he couldn’t believe his wife’s crazy words.

"Of course not, I did all this consciously. Remember Yohanes, we have made Gina suffer since she was still in her mother’s womb. Even giving all of our property will not be able to atone for all our guilt towards her, let alone by dividing the property. like this, Yohanes," Barbara said earnestly. "Like it or not, I have determined the division of our property like that for Gina, if you don’t like it please contact a lawyer because I approved it a week ago."

Yohanes Sanders ruffled his hair. Frustrated. "But this isn’t fair to our other granddaughter, Barbara. Haven’t we discussed this before?"

"Isn’t it fair? Can you replace all the suffering that Gina has gone through all these years with happiness? No, isn’t it? All of Gina’s suffering over the years is nothing with all that money, Yohanes," Barbara replied back. strickly.

Yohanes Sanders massaged his suddenly aching head, arguing with his wife over this matter he really couldn’t win and it was all proven. If Barbara had said A then no one could shake her words.

Seeing her husband silent Barbara smiled. "I gave in to you 19 years ago and now it’s your turn to follow my will, Yohanes."

"Okay, I will follow your wishes, Barbara. I did this for you, not for that child," said Yohanes relented.

Barbara’s eyes lit up. "It’s ok at this point you still don’t like Gina, but believe me when you get to know her better you’ll know how precious she is, Yohanes. Gina is absolutely amazing, her lovely personality will make you fall in love with her."

"She’s Sandra’s’s daughter and I can’t possibly give her my love," said Yohanes curtly.

Barbara chuckled. "You’ll see, time will prove my point and when that time comes you’ll be very happy, Yohanes."

Yohanes Sanders took a deep breath. "You’ll see, I don’t want to speculate."

Barbara just smiled at her husband’s words, she went back to her activities knitting a hat that she planned to give to Gina.

Behind the wall Vanessa’s whole body trembled, the woman was even shedding tears at this time. The tray she was carrying almost fell when she heard the conversation of her two in-laws who were discussing their inheritance.

"No, I will not let this happen. This is unfair, Barbara. Why did you give so much money and assets to that illegitimate child? The one who has been devoted to you is me, how could you do this to me," Vanessa said quietly, her lips trembling violently showing how angry she was at the moment at her mother-in-law.

"All of this family’s money and assets must go to me and my son Diego. That bastard has absolutely no right to any of this family’s money....I won’t let you do this to me, Barbara. Don’t call me Vanessa if I can’t. return what should belong to my son back to him." Vanessa spoke inwardly condemning all the unfair actions that Barbara had done to Diego.

After standing for almost ten minutes in that place Vanessa then left the place with a tray containing Red Tea for her mother-in-law, Vanessa decided to shift her task to the maid who happened to pass in front of her.

As soon as the tea tray changed Vanessa’s hands and ran to his son’s room in a hurry, Vanessa wanted to talk to Diego in the empty room. As usual, Diego’s room was the place where she had planned all her crimes because Diego’s room was at the very end where not many people crossed. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

When she almost arrived at Diego’s room, Vanessa suddenly stopped her steps when she saw a foreign car enter her house, without thinking Vanessa then rushed back down to the first floor to see who was coming.

Playing her role as a good wife and daughter-in-law, Vanessa welcomed the guests who came with grace and friendliness.

"So this is jewelry for my mother-in-law?" Vanessa asked softly.

"Yes, madam. This jewelry was ordered by the old lady two weeks ago at our jewelry store," answered a young man who was the manager of a jewelry store Barbara subscribed to politely.

Vanessa smiled. "Oh new jewels?"

"Yes, madam. The old lady ordered this gold crescent-shaped pendant as a pair of her old locket which has the same model."

"Wait...so these pendants are twins?" Vanessa asked curiously.

"Yes, madam. Old madam said the first locket was with Miss Gina, that’s why old madam ordered this locket for her to wear."

Vanessa’s emotions were rekindled when she heard the words of the young man standing in front of her, now Vanessa’s anger had really peaked.

Because there was still much work to be done, the jewelry store manager said goodbye to Vanessa after Vanessa received the jewelry box belonging to Barbara Sanders, as soon as the guests left, Vanessa immediately opened the jewelry box she was holding. Her eyes widened perfectly when she saw the beautiful crescent round pendant.

"Shit.. so you have given a pendant as beautiful as this to Gina, apparently," Vanessa growled in her heart as she tightly squeezed Gina’s twin locket.

Just as Vanessa was about to enter the house, Diego suddenly came, like winning a million dollar lottery. Vanessa was immediately excited when she saw his son coming. Without wasting any time, Vanessa approached Diego and told Diego everything she had heard in her favorite car, while Vanessa was talking, Diego was seen cursing Barbara Sanders several times.

"It can’t be allowed, Mom. That woman has to learn a lesson this time," Diego said with emotion.

"Yes, Mommy agrees. That old granny must die as soon as possible, she is our biggest threat, dear."

Diego’s eyes flashed. "Mommy wants me to do it?"

"Do what?" Vanessa asked confused.

Diego slowly grabbed the golden crescent pendant Vanessa was holding and held it tightly. "Get rid of that old woman for good." Diego’s eyes slowly fell on the car that Vanessa Sanders used to travel without blinking.

"Yes, Mommy wants you to get rid of that old woman immediately."
