Chapter 387 The Will
As the old saying goes, among the blind, the one-eyed man is the king.
Now that Frank was dead, his illegitimate children couldn''t wait to revolt. Not only didn’t they take Millie,
the Perry family’s lineal descendent, seriously,
but they also humiliated Leo. Besides, they even called her a slut.
Leo’s eyes glinted dangerously. "You say that again.”
Andrew, however, wasn''t intimidated at all. Instead, he went even further and pointed his finger at Leo.
"| don’t think you guys know who he is, |
assume?"
"He is the adopted son of the Ford family, a humble family of Emerdale. Five years ago, he married that
evil woman, Kate Lawson, but ran away on the
wedding night. Five yearster, he married into the Henderson family and became the husband of
Lydia Henderson, the president of As Beauty.
Now, he’s interested in the daughter of the Perry family. What can we do with him?"
Andrew''s words put Leo on the spot now. Everyone else, except for Ryan, put on a solemn face.
"How dare a man living off his wife cheat on his wife and let the daughter of the Perry family be his
mistress!"
"Hey sis, why would you get interested in such a loser? Do you have any dignity left?”
"| didn''t believe Millie was a slut back then. | thought she was just a passionate girl. | didn’t expect the
rumors to be true."
"She''s the shame to the Perry family. If father were alive, he must be furious!”
Egged on by Andrew, the other illegitimate children started to hurl abuse at Leo and Millie.
"Shut up! Everyone shut up!" Millie screamed tearfully. She was a woman. It was true that sometimes,
she disyed great initiative when with a man,
but she didn’t do that to all men. She had standards. So understandably, she would get angry when
being called a slut.
At this moment, Leo grabbed Millie''s arm and said, "Let me deal with this.” After that, he strode up to
Andrew and stared at him, poker-faced. "Did you
say Miss Perry is my mistress?"
Andrew was a little intimidated by Leo, but he still sneered brazenly, "Isn''t she? All you do this life is be
a loser and live off women. Five years ago, you
did it to Kate, and five yearster, you do it to Lydia. If you have the opportunity to marry into the Perry
family now, I’m sure you won''t give it up!”
Leo shook his head, his eyes roaming over everyone''s face. "Now | understand why Frank would rather
be in charge of the Perry family himself than
hand it over to his illegitimate sons. First of all, he knew what kind of jerks you are
When he was alive, each of you was submissive to Missy Perry and afraid of making her angry, but
now Frank is dead and she
has no one to depend on anymore, none of you take her seriously."
“Secondly, all of you are stupid. I’ve seen stupid people before, but they are never so stupid as you
guys. Not only are you
stupid, but you are also pathetic. None of you are able to be the head of the family this life!"
“How dare you!"
“Who are you calling pathetic?"
“You’re the pathetic one, loser. At least we don’t live off women."
Leo’s blunt remarks cut all the illegitimate sons’ hearts deeply, and they began to insult him. As
bastards, they had a sense of
inferiority when facing Millie, the lineal descendent of the Perry family, and they felt ashamed since Leo
talked about it openly.
“These two shameless people have soiled our family name. We must kick them out of the house and
teach them a lesson!"
Andrew gave a sneer and said.
The next second, a big man walked towards Leo and Millie menacingly, followed by arge crowd of
people.
Millie couldn’t help cowering behind Leo, whispering to him, “That’s Theo, he’s strong and has many
henchmen. Among all of
them, you have to be careful with him and the man called Jimmy. He’s an ungrateful bastard."
Leo looked over and saw a feminine-looking man sitting in the corner of the living room. His eyes were
glinting coldly like a
snake’s, and Leo could tell at a nce that he was not a man to be messed up with.
However, Leo couldn’t care less.
"The Spencer family is here!"
Just at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the entrance of the Perry Residence, where a
few ck cars were
parked.
The next moment, Wace strode into the house with a big crowd of strong men behind him,
expressionless.
"Wace!" Millie was overjoyed to see Wace. Since Frank had died, Wace had be her only
family.
“What are you doing here, Wace?" Theo shouted at the sight of Wace, trembling with fear.
Meanwhile, all the other illegitimate sons stood up, except for Jimmy, who narrowed his eyes.
Wace spotted Leo and Millie in the crowd immediately. His face darkened, and he said faintly, "I’m
doing what you’re doing
here!"
Theo sneered, “We''re the offspring of the Perry family, while you were kicked out of the family, and
you''re not qualified to
attend father’s funeral!"
Leo raised his brows and suddenly remembered that Wace had used to be a Perry. Later he
detested the Perry family
because his mother died a tragic death. After that, he got an opportunity, cut all ties with the Perry
family and started his own
Spencer family.
All the other illegitimate sons were so jealous of Wace’s sess.
Wace snorted withughter. “If I’m not qualified, who is? You? The bastards?"
All the illegitimate sons red at him upon hearing that.

Wace, however, just ignored them and walked into the house stately.
"I, Wace Spencer, always do whatever I want to do. Stop me if you can."
Subdued by Wace’smanding presence, all the illegitimate sons went quiet, and so did Theo,
because the Spencer family
was much stronger than the Perry family in the underworld, and Theo was no match for Wace.
Suddenly, Wace turned to Leo and Millie under everyone’s gaze. "Mr. Cohen, Millie, now you can
hold a memorial ceremony
for Frank. Don’t worry. They won’t do anything to you with me around."
The moment Wace said that, everyone was stunned and looked at Leo in astonishment. Wace, the
man who had always
been unruly and rebellious, actually had so much respect for Leo, a man living off his wife?!
And he called Leo "Mr.
Cohen"?
“Come on, Theo, Andrew, Millie, and Wace, just stop arguing. We have a guest here. Stop
embarrassing ourselves." Just at
this moment, a male smiling voice came from the corner of the living room.
Leo followed the voice and looked at Jimmy, the man in the corner who had kept quiet all the time. He
thought to himself, “This
man has an unusual cast of mind."
When Andrew and Theo were picking on him and Millie a while ago, Jimmy had no intention of
stopping them. Now that Wace
hade, he changed his attitude immediately and seized this opportunity to y the role of a
peacemaker.
Besides, Jimmy was a talented speaker who had a way with words. Who was the "guest" he was
talking about?
Of course, he was referring to Leo.
Since none of the Perry family dared to stop them, Wace, Leo and Millie walked into the mourning
hall in the backyard.
There were a few cushions ced in front of the memorial tablet, which had Frank’s ck-and-white
portrait on it and was
surrounded by fresh flowers.
"Dad..." Millie dropped on his knees, her eyes misty. No matter how much she hated Frank, he was her
biological father after
all.
Grief-stricken, Millie was devastated by the loss of her father, while Theo, Andrew, Jimmy and the other
illegitimate sons looked
on impassively without shedding a tear.
Just at this moment, the door on the second floor was opened, and an elder in a suit came down the
stairs.
"Matthews!"
Suddenly, everyone fixed an intense gaze upon the elder man.
Leo squinted at the hale and hearty man and asked, "Why are they looking at the old gentleman?"
Millie replied, poker-faced, “Matthews, he’s Frank’s servant and had worked for him for over 30 years.
He has Frank’s will with him. "
