[Yuan Shu invited her to the island for a vacation not only because of business with the Jiang Group, but more importantly, he wanted to use this opportunity to ease the tension between the couple and find a suitable time to tell her the contents of his will.]
Let Mrs. Yuan know that she is his primary beneficiary!
[If anything were to happen to him, she would inherit 80% of his estate! This percentage is unprecedented in the entire elite circles of Beijing!]
Eighty percent!
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundreds of millions, billions...
Yan Zhao opened his mouth wide in surprise, his mouth agape, big enough to fit an egg the size of a fist.
Goodness gracious! It's not just unique in Beijing's elite circles, it's unique among the world's wealthy!
What does 80% mean?
It's like entrusting your life and fortune to her!
My sister is right. If Mrs. Yuan knew the contents of the will, she would be kicking herself!
How much regret must he have felt? He killed the person who loved him most, and in doing so, he also lost his right to inherit the estate.
Everything she cares about—
Wealth, status, and prestige—all of it has become fleeting smoke!
Mrs. Yuan majored in biochemistry in college and was one of her professor's star students, winning several national awards! She even had the opportunity to work in the research institute alongside her mother!
Mrs. Yuan's surname is Wen...
Zhu Lan lost her memory, and no matter how hard she tried to recall, she had no recollection of this person.
However, anyone who has a chance to enter the research institute, even if they are ultimately rejected, can prove their worth simply by having the qualification to be a backup candidate.
The other party is an exceptionally talented individual!
Given her family background, the only reason she wasn't properly raised could only be her patriarchal and snobbish father.
This shows how important a good family of origin is!
The Wen family was not short of money; Mrs. Yuan had always been provided with the finest food, clothing, and necessities. Yet, they wanted to personally pluck this beautiful rose, transplanting it from the fertile black soil to a stuffy greenhouse, making it the most beautiful flower there.
Ultimately, they were brought to the negotiating table, to be sold off for a higher price...
In Mr. Wen's eyes, she was merely a commodity to be sold; all she needed was a beautiful appearance and a respectable degree. Further education would be pointless, so the Wen family devised ways to hinder her studies and manipulated her into conforming to their arrangements.
[So much so that even after Yuan Shu married her, he didn't know that his wife had once been an outstanding woman!]
[After all, they were husband and wife, and Mrs. Yuan originally wanted Yuan Shu to pass away peacefully. She extracted a natural neurotoxin from a rare plant called "Sea Leaf Vine," a substance that, with just a small dose, could instantly paralyze someone, leaving them crippled.]
During this period, unable to speak or move, they could only helplessly wait to die and be slaughtered at the mercy of others.
Mrs. Yuan's original plan was to pretend to invite Yuan Shu to the beach, then, taking advantage of his inattention, inject him with a neurotoxin extracted from sea vines, causing him to drown in the sea.
Wow!
Those qualified to enter the research institute?
That's awesome!
Yan Zhao glanced at Zhu Lan furtively, then broke out in a cold sweat.
He shouldn't have upset his mom these past few days...
What if one day she takes a dislike to me and quietly...
What should we do then?
His own flesh and blood would certainly not want to kill him, but they could use some tricks to paralyze him from the waist down, make his eyes crooked and mouth drooling everywhere!
Mom, he promises he won't make you angry anymore!
Besides, isn't it too dangerous to be on an island now?
Indeed, novels are all based on real events—
While wealthy families may appear harmonious on the surface, who knows how many shady dealings might occur behind the scenes?
For example, Lin Ke'er's mother-in-law, Old Mrs. Liu, wanted to get rid of her silently with ointment; on the Yuan family's side, Mrs. Yuan actually tried to kill Yuan Shu for an unborn illegitimate child.
Not to mention, their daughter is still on the island, and she's also part of her plan...
No, I have to persuade my dad that the whole family should leave first thing tomorrow morning!
Let's get out of here!
The night before the plan was to be implemented, Mrs. Yuan overheard a conversation between Yuan Shu and his assistant. He was instructing her on the phone to publish the contents of his will on the group's official website at exactly 12 noon the next day!
Mrs. Yuan felt a chill run down her spine. He hadn't even consulted her before publicly revealing the contents of the will. He probably wanted to leave a large inheritance to his illegitimate son and then squeeze her daughter out of the Yuan Group... She couldn't wait any longer.
Mrs. Yuan was filled with resentment when, just then, Yuan Beibei ran over, shouting and carrying a round ball.
When Mrs. Yuan is lost in thought, she habitually accepts things handed to her, so she started fiddling with them. Beibei was already sleepy, and seeing that her mother wasn't paying attention to her, she obediently went back to her room with the nanny to sleep.
She fiddled with the things in her hands for a few minutes before realizing that a tube of toothpaste tightly wrapped in plastic wrap must have been something Beibei had accidentally found at the beach. Just as she was about to throw it in the trash, she smelled a familiar scent…
She hated Yuan Shu, hated that after years of marriage, he would abandon his family and Bei Bei for a child he had never met. So, after obtaining the ointment, she decided to make Yuan Shu suffer a agonizing death! To be torn apart alive!
