Chapter 947 An Important Announcement
Two red jades were placed side by side. They were exactly the same in terms of size, design, and color. Even the
green leaf that was carved on them were identical.
Anyone could tell they were a pair.
Ryan sighed. “This belongs to the Yates family. Back then, my sister got lost and separated from the Yates family.
After that, Ms. Canter was found and had a paternity test done. However, she never had the red jade with her.”
When Mary heard Ryan utter the words “Ms. Canter,” her face turned as pale as a sheet. Even the veins under her
skin were visible.
D*mn it, Ryan Yates! How dare you address me so formally during an occasion like this?
Everyone at the scene understood Ryan's words clearly.

She gritted her teeth furiously as an urge to snatch the red jade that held the identity of the Yates family washed
over her.
Alas, she dared not, nor could she follow her impulsive thoughts.
Ashlyn, too, stared at the two pieces of red jades.
“Don't tell me the daughter of the Chapman family, Alice, is the eldest daughter of the Yates family,” said someone
all of a sudden.
The atmosphere grew tense in an instant, and everyone turned to look at Ashlyn dubiously.
With an indifferent expression, Bob refuted, “No way! Alice is my biological daughter. How can she be a member of
the Yates family? That jade was given by to her mother when she was alive. I don't remember where my wife got it
from, though. It's been too long.”
After all, Ashlyn was his granddaughter who was going to take care of the Chapman family. He would not let his
outstanding granddaughter be taken away no matter what.
His anxiousness heightened just from thinking about it, and his body shook violently. He could barely stand firmly.
Seeing that, Alfred rushed over to help him up. “Please calm down, Mr. Chapman! Your health comes first.”
“I need to say this today. I must announce this in front of everyone or I'll never get the chance to do it in the
future!” Bob said as he gasped for air.
Ashlyn was stunned momentarily when she saw him reaching out to her. She quickly approached him and held his
wrinkly hand.
With a weak voice, Bob stated, “I... I would like to announce that Ashlyn will be my heir as of today. She will inherit
all of my assets and be in charge of the Chapman family. Apart from the Chapman residence that's reserved for my
three sons, all the assets under my name will be transferred to Ashlyn. Everyone here is my witness.”

Ashlyn? She doesn't even carry our surname!”
“Dad, my husband has been the one managing the company. Are you really doing to hand it over to Ashlyn? How is
this possible? Have you gone senile? Does Ashlyn usually take care of you? She doesn't even care about you!”
Sisley was enraged as well. How dare this old geezer do this? How dare he give all his assets to Ashlyn? Is this some
kind of joke?
“I've already made up my mind, and no one can convince me otherwise,” Bob uttered. He gazed at both Sisley and
Hera, scoffing, “You should be thankful you still have a roof over your head. Kicking both of you out of the Chapman
family is a piece of cake after everything you did today.”
“No. No way! My husband, Brad, and even Bryan won't agree to it! No matter what, we have made contributions.
We were the ones taking care of you every day when you were admitted to the hospital. What is this you're pulling
now? How could you be so heartless?” Sisley tried to change Bob's mind.
“Please get your facts right. The caregivers are the ones who took care of me most of the time while Ashlyn's the
one who operated on me! Besides, the housekeeper's usually the one attending to my needs at home. Just exactly
which one of you has taken care of me before?”
