She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 1051: A Heart More Cruel Than Any

Upon inquiry, Raina finally found out that Old Master North’s decline in health was due to anger.

Not long after she was kidnapped, Claire North returned. She kept insisting that Raina had no burial ground, urging Gideon North and Brenda Adler to find a way to seize Raina’s shares.

It wasn’t difficult to execute.

After all, with Raina already ’dead,’ Gideon North and Brenda Adler, as her parents, had inheritance rights.

Of course, Casper North and Shea also had rights, but they were merely children. As long as the situation was handled properly, there was considerable room to maneuver.

Gideon North and Brenda Adler had long been dissatisfied with their illegitimate daughter, Raina, a married woman taking so many shares. Now that they could reclaim them, they were eager to do so.

The matter was initially proceeding smoothly in private, but someone leaked the information, and it reached the ears of the second family.

The second family had always coveted the shares, and upon hearing the news, came knocking immediately.

Gideon North initially intended to dismiss them with some shares, but who knew the second family would be so brazen as to demand half of the shares.

Neither Gideon North nor Brenda Adler would agree to such terms, and even Claire North wouldn’t.

Claire was the biological daughter of Gideon North and Brenda Adler, their most cherished daughter. The assets in their hands were meant for her in the future. Now the second family was trying to seize them; it was as good as snatching her belongings directly.

Claire naturally wouldn’t agree.

Thus, the North Family was thrown into chaos, and even Old Master North, who was supposed to be recuperating, heard the news.

Upon hearing that Raina had been murdered by bandits, with her body thrown into the sea to feed fish, Old Master North’s heart condition suddenly flared up.

If Raina hadn’t been helping Old Master North with his health earlier, he might not have survived the attack this time.

However, even though Old Master North returned from the brink, life didn’t get any easier.

For the sake of the shares in Raina’s hands, Gideon North, Brenda Adler, and the couple from the second family were causing a ruckus every day at Old Master North’s bedside.

Even a healthy person wouldn’t be able to endure such agitation, let alone Old Master North, whose health was so poor. He was almost sustaining himself purely through willpower.

He didn’t believe that Raina was really gone.

After the matter was exposed, Gideon North and Brenda Adler’s plan to secretly get their hands on Raina’s shares fell through.

Although Claire North confidently claimed that Raina was dead, there was no evidence, and besides, Raina had her own children and husband. Gideon North, as her father, had inheritance rights but could only inherit a small portion.

Gideon North wouldn’t accept this.

The feeling of hope being dashed again made Gideon North immensely uncomfortable, and he even began to resent Old Master North.

This resentment prevented him from letting go; even when Old Master North was hospitalized, he refused to visit.

Although the second family wasn’t completely indifferent towards Old Master North, their words were filled with blame, accusing him of being muddle-headed.

Whenever Claire North had time, she would visit Old Master North, each time casually describing just how tragic Raina’s death was.

Reflecting on the events during this period, Old Master North had to admit that their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, looked decent on the outside but in reality had hearts that couldn’t be more malicious.

During that time, Old Master North couldn’t sleep day and night, praying every day for Raina’s safety.

Fortunately, heaven showed mercy, and his Raina returned.
