Chapter 649

Rachel didn’t bother with politeness anymore. A woman like Sasha didn’t deserve her respect.

Had Sasha treated Jim even halfway decently, knowing the kind of man he was, he never would’ve left her with nothing.

Unfortunately, her greed was boundless.

Rachel’s eyes narrowed with disdain.

“Sasha, let’s cut to the chase. You and I both know that even if my dad goes through more tests, and even if the doctors say he’s under stress, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s perfectly sane. His mind is sharp, and he hasn’t done anything irrational. That means his will is valid. End of story.”

Sasha scoffed, brushing her off. “Please. You think I’m going to buy that? If your dad’s unstable, then his will doesn’t stand. Something like that can’t be left to one person. It has to be discussed by the whole family.”

Rachel glanced coldly at her. “Discuss it with whom? You? A woman on the verge of divorce? Tell me, Sasha, what’s there to discuss with you?”

“So what if I’m divorcing him? Right now, I’m still his legal wife!” Sasha shot back, her tone defiant.

Seeing she wasn’t going to back down, Rachel stopped wasting words and went straight for the kill. “Fine. Call your psychiatrist friend. Ask him yourself. With my dad’s condition, what would further tests actually show? And while you’re at it, call a lawyer. Find out whether his will can still be executed.”

The facts were undeniable, and Rachel wasn’t going to play games.

Sasha hesitated, but Rachel’s confidence rattled her. She finally called Defino and repeated Rachel’s questions.

His answer was blunt.

“Ms. Lloyd is right. At most, your husband is under stress with mild depressive symptoms and requires some treatment. That doesn’t make him legally incompetent. The will would still hold, with maybe only minor changes.”

Sasha’s eyes widened in shock. “What? Are you saying everything we planned is useless? You’re the one who told me that if he was found mentally unstable, his will wouldn’t count!”

“I did, but that only applies if he’s truly mentally unsound and not just showing stress or mild depression. In this case, the impact is minimal.”

Sasha felt her last hope shatter. Her earlier smugness evaporated, leaving her pale and stunned.

Rachel took the chance to press her advantage.

“Sasha, you were with my dad for years. Why don’t we end this clean? Take your share and go. We’ll make sure you and your kid are taken care of. It doesn’t have to get uglier than this.”

Sasha gripped the railing, her face twisted with bitterness.

Watching that money slip through her fingers was unbearable, but if she kept pushing and something backfired, she might end up with nothing.

That thought gnawed at her.

Finally, she lifted her head and asked flatly, “How much are you offering?”

“Two million,” Rachel said without hesitation.

Jerry had run the numbers on their way over, factoring in Sasha and her child’s past expenses. It wasn’t perfect, but it was more than fair.
