The eldest son’s family was so daring to take out such evidence so brazenly. They were probably afraid and anxious that people would know what they had done, that was why they were so eager to legitimize and publicize it in front of so many people.
Huo Xuanzhou’s face was also filled with killing intent as he stared at Huo Xuanze and Huo Xuancong, who were in front of him. He wished he could kill them, even though he didn’t want to think bad of people who were blood related to him. Even though Sixth Uncle said that Second Uncle was involved in Grandfather’s hospitalization due to his illness, he still harbored the last bit of hope that it wasn’t him.
However, this document clearly told him that their grandfather’s illness was definitely caused by his second uncle’s anger. With their grandfather’s personality, how is it possible that he would give all of the Huo family’s assets to his eldest son’s family? They were really shameless and daring.
“When did Dad sign this document? Why didn’t I know about it?” Huo Ci directly took the document from Huo Xuanze’s hands and glanced at it. Pointing at the red handprint, he asked, “What does this mean? Why don’t I know about Dad? Your grandfather is literate, does he have to rely on using handprints to sign?”
If the second son’s family was honest, then so be it. After all, they were one family. But since they were shameless, there was no need for him to give them any face.
“Sixth Uncle, are you refusing to accept it? Grandpa is unconscious now, and Sixth Uncle is the most powerful person in the Huo family. Isn’t your words the most powerful now, Sixth Uncle?” Huo Xuancong’s eyes were red as he said in grief and despair, “Friends present, please be the judge. Has anyone ever said that only those who are illiterate use handprints? Didn’t Grandpa often use handprints?”
His father was not muddle-headed. When their grandfather signed documents, he had the habit of using his handprint. It was mainly because he was too old and could not read the words clearly. He was also too lazy to wear glasses, so he would use his handprint to save time.
Besides, ever since his father took over the headquarters of the Huo Corporation, their grandfather hadn’t been in charge of it much. His father had managed the Huo Corporation well and his career was booming. Grandfather trusted his father very much, so when he signed documents, he never looked at the content and would just sign the documents.
“I don’t think this is the Old Master’s handprint.” Huo Ci’s eyes were filled with mockery as he showed the handprint to the rest of the family. “Big Brother, come over and take a look too. Is this Dad’s handprint, or did they fake it?”
The other members of the Huo family were praying every day for the old man to wake up. Fortunately, they had sorted out the distribution of the family’s assets before he died. Huo Xuanze’s sudden move scared them and made them furious.
“How could I not recognize Dad’s handprint?” Huo Li was the first to speak. He took one look and shook his head firmly in denial. “This isn’t, definitely not. Ah Ze, what do you want to do? It’s your dad’s funeral today. How embarrassing!”
“It’s not Dad’s.” Huo Ji shook his head. “How can Dad use a handprint to sign such an important document?”
The eldest son and his family wanted to monopolize the Huo Family’s assets. Dream on. Even if it was Dad’s handprint, that bastard Second Brother must have used some underhanded means to trick him. He must have angered Dad to the point that he was hospitalized.
Huo Pei had a dark expression on his face. He scolded, “Ah Ze, your grandfather is still unconscious in the hospital. Why don’t you wait for your grandfather to wake up and let him say if he indeed signed the document?”
These two unfilial descendants were cursing the old master to die. The old master was still in the hospital and they dared to ask for a status here. Had they become so bold suddenly? Should they think of ways to kill the old master next?
Huo Xuanze and his brother looked awful. They had known for a long time that kinship was nothing but a joke in a wealthy family. After their father died, they knew from their uncle’s behavior that there was no brotherhood to speak of.
Their uncles only cared about money and profits, and they were cowards who bullied the weak and feared the strong. They had long been scared out of their wits by Huo Ci, so they did not even have someone to speak up for them and seek justice for their father.
The brothers of the Huo family had all unanimously proved that the handprints on the document were not Old Master’s, which meant that Huo Xuanze and his brother were lying. They had fabricated Old Master Huo’s signature and wanted to take over the Huo family’s assets. They clearly had evil intentions!
“You… you all are bullying me just because Ah Zhen is dead, aren’t you?” Zhang Yuechan was filled with grief and indignation as she threw herself in front of Huo Zhen’s portrait. “Ah Zhen, why did you leave just like that? If you leave, how are we going to survive in the Huo Family? Look at your brothers, they’re bullying us right after you left!”
The Old Master was in the hospital? The doctor had already announced that he was in a vegetative state. He would never wake up and would never be able to personally prove it. Otherwise, the mother and son would not dare to blow things up at the funeral.
“Since it’s fake.” Huo Ci paused for a moment, his narrow eyes mockingly sweeping over Huo Xuanze and the rest. With a ripping sound, he tore the document in his hands into two.
Huo Xuanze watched as the man in front of him tore the document into two halves. His eyes widened in disbelief. In his panic, he shouted, “Sixth Uncle, I know you’re the most powerful person in the Huo family, but this is Grandfather’s order. How dare you disobey him?”
Huo Ci had an arrogant look on his face as if he was saying, “What can you do to me?” He threw the torn documents on the floor and looked at Huo Xuanze. He said earnestly, “Ah Ze, I know that the two of you are afraid that if your father leaves, the Huo family will have no place for you. Don’t worry, since you are the descendants of the Huo family, you will always be a part of the Huo family.”
“Huo Ci, you’ve harmed your elder brother. You’re going to die a horrible death.” Zhang Yuechan’s expression was ferocious and frightening. After she shouted, she charged at Huo Ci like she had gone mad.
“Ah Cong, hurry up and take your mother away.” Huo Ci looked at Huo Xuancong, whose face was as pale as paper and his body was stiff.
Huo Xuancong tightened his grip on the phone in his pocket before letting go. He lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a sinister look in his eyes. Upon hearing Huo Ci’s words, he obediently walked forward and pulled Zhang Yuechan away. In a low voice, he advised, “Mom, stop making a fuss, we can’t win against him now.”
When Elder Brother had confronted Huo Ci and the rest just now, he had received a threat from Huo Ci. If they continued to cause trouble, they would not be able to get a single cent of the Huo family’s assets.
A wise man submits to circumstances. He would take a step back first. As long as he was alive, there would be a chance to take revenge on him.. The enmity of killing his father was irreconcilable!
