Chapter 477
After everyone listened to those words, they looked at each other, expressions varied.
Finally, that fierce–looking woman shouted loudly, “Since we’re here, can we really afford to waste
more time? Let’s go!”
She walked out.
Outside the door stood a young man in a suit.
He held a stack of checks in his hand.
“Come here to get your checks. One per household, same amount for everyone.”
The woman frowned, “Such a small amount of money and you’re using a check, is this for charity?”
The young man smiled and handed her a check.
The woman took a look and her eyeballs almost popped out, “One hundred thousand?”
Except for the already wealthy members of the Silverman family, most people were excited to hear
about the news, and rushed forward to get their checks.
When all the checks were handed out, the young man’s once meticulous hairstyle was now messed

He let out a long breath, tidied up his messy hair, and continued to smile, “President Silverman has a
message for you all.”
Everyone looked at him happily.
The young man spoke gently, “The check is now yours. But if you keep listening to those with ulterior
motives and continue to be entangled in something you shouldn’t get involved, I am not sure if you can
get the money that they promised. There is one thing that I am certain. Is that you can kiss this hundred
thousand check goodbye.”
“You must be kidding! The jewelry and antiques Wayne took possession of are worth billions. Are you
trying to deceive us with this meager amount?” Maddie sneered.
“According to the law of inheritance, even if Ms. Tesdal passes away, these jewels and antiques do not
belong to any one of you. No matter how much you make a fuss, you won’t be able to put at dime into
your pockets, and you’ll only end up wasting your time,” the young man smiled, lowering his gaze and
then said, “Besides, if you upset President Silverman…it won’t be just about money anymore, don’t you
think?”
Everyone was shocked.
Considering Wayne’s methods and actions and their newly–acquired hundred thousand dollars in hand,
their choice was pretty obvious now.
Initially, there was nothing for them in the will. Getting one hundred thousand each from Wayne was
considered a huge bargain for them.
If they continued to follow Maddie’s lead, they would be the ones to suffer the consequences.
After all, unlike Maddie who was Wayne’s mother, they were just distant relatives.

Once they understood this logic, the decision to stay or leave was easy to make.
“Hey, we’re all reasonable people. The will was written by Old Mrs. Silverman, how can we go against
her wishes and snatch these possessions?”
Hearing these words, Maddie was immediately pissed off.
“Are you guys crazy? You are really giving up on this for just one hundred thousand?! We’re talking

Everyone looked at her as if she was nuts.
“They just said that the will clearly specifies who will get what. How can we have the audacity to snatch
things that do not belong to us!”
“Sister–in–law, you should stop fighting with President Silverman. We’re all family, why do you have to
make a fuss like this?”
“Yeah, we know you didn’t get a big share of the inheritance from Old Mrs. Silverman, but that villa is
worth around a hundred million! It’s pretty good!”
“Yeah, compared to our hundred thousand, you got way more!”
Everyone chattered.
Maddie’s face turned pale with anger.
Afterwards, she could only watch helplessly as the people she had called happily left one after
another.
As night fell, a sigh came from Maddie’s side: “Maddle, what’s the point? Wayne is not your child, but
you gave birth to him. If you do not cause any troubles and fulfill your role as his mother, wouldn’t it be
nice to live a rich and carefree life in your later years??”
