The room fell silent, all eyes fixed on the lawyer as he rifled through the documents. "Edwina understood the potential for rivalry and conflict among her heirs. Therefore, she included a clause that stipulates any attempts to contest the will result in significant penalties."
This time, it was Ava who spoke up," What kind of penalties? And what does Serena have to do with this. The lawyer cleared his throat again," I'll clear the questions at the soonest,"Miss Serena, are you married?"
Serena clenched her jaw and nodded once. The lawyer nodded and then shook his head," In the event that Miss Serena is married when the will is read, there will be additional changes made to the will. The reason for this is that the will was originally made when Miss Serena had not joined the family. In order to not leak the contents of the will, instead of changing it entirely, Miss Edwina preferred to simply add a few stipulations.
