Chapter 2: Inheritance

*SLAM*

"WHAT?!"

"Sir, please-"

"THAT IS WRONG! I AM THE ONE WHO SUPPOSED TO TAKE HER INHERITANCE!"

"*sigh*...Calm down will you..."

"SHUT THE F*CK UP!"

Erin is outside of the room. She hear a very tense arguments between four man and a lawyer, Erin's Grandmother lawyer to be exact.

"Sir, calm down. Or I will get the security to throw you out."

"Tch! I am the first son! I am the one who should get all the inheritance!"

"You are so greedy..."

"*sigh*Just because you have a big debt-"

"Shut your mouth, or you want to be beaten..?"

The sounds of his hand cracking is filling the room, and Erin hear it outside of the room as well.

"..... (They are fighting.. Should I just give Grandma inheritance up and split it to four of them?)"

*sigh*

*SLAM*

"It's your f*cking fault!"

The First son is pointing at the Third son. Erin is surprised and see what is going on inside the room through the door window.

"(He is pointing at dad.. Oh no..)"

"*Tch* If your daughter isn't visiting her every f*cking time... that inheritance..."

"..."

"(Ugh.. I have always hated him... I hope Dad is okay..)"

"I doubt if Mother would even give her inheritance to you. She already know if you are addicted to gambling, and will know what you will do with all of Dad important properties."

"*Tch* You b*st*rd..."

"(Tell him Dad! He doesn't deserve any of Grandma and Grandpa inheritance!)"

"Grr... ...Huh... HEH!"

"(What is he laughing about?)"

All people that are inside and outside the room is drawn by the First son sudden laugh.

"Heh... Do you think your own daughter is all innocent as well?"

"..."

"(Wh-wha...)"

"She is there that time right, little brother... Do you think she is innocent?"

"(...)"

That Afternoon.

"G...Grand...ma..."

"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP---"

Multiple nurses and a doctor come rushing to Grandma's room.

"Crap! Get this kid out!"

"Yes, sir! ...Kid, please wait outside."

"G-Grand..ma..."

"We-uh..."

*Click*

The doctor come out of the room.

"..."

"S-Sir!"

Both of the nurse and the doctor exchange a glance.

"....oh...."

"...Little girl.."

"G-Grandma.."

"I'm sorry..."

"No... I must be d-dreaming..."

"Sorry, little girl..."

"No...No...."

A drop of water falling down from Erin's cheek. Erin finds herself crying outside of the room. Meanwhile inside of the room, the intense arguments is still going.

"Don't you think she is probably one of the suspect..?"

"..."

"Sir. The hospital documents are here, and it says that she died peacefully in her sleep. The nurse and doctor there testify if Erin doesn't have anything to do with Madame Grace passing."

"Heh! Who knows! Maybe she pay them to keep their mouth shut."

"Sir, Please calm down. This is your last warning."

"Heh."

"..."

"(...)"

Erin sit down and stopped watching what is going on inside the room. Lily is beside her, sitting.

"...Lily....Am I...a murderer....?"

"..."

"I-..was there...Am I too late..to bring the water..?"

"..."

"Did make her talk too much....when she is really sick...."

"..."

*SLAM*

"This is absurd..grr...unfair..."

The First son walked out, and seems like he is really mad. He doesn't even want to make an eye contact with Erin.

"*sigh*...Oh. I didn't realize he brings you here."

This man is the Second son. Erin can tell if he has a mixed feelings about his mother want to give all of her inheritance to Erin.

"...Uh.."

"....."

"Oh!"

A man suddenly walked out as well. This man is the Fourth son. Erin can tell if he doesn't seems to care who is the inheritance given to. He seems nice, but he is kinda shady in some ways, Erin can't just put a finger on how he is shady. She just tell herself if she shouldn't get on his bad side everytime she sees him.

"It's you! I thought your dad just come here alone.."

"Oh-uh Yes! Dad say if I should come with him to sign all of the needed documents.."

"Ahh.. Still strict like he used to... Hehe, glad to see if he is still himself~"

"Umm..Yes."

"Oh big brother! Since you're still here, let's go have a meal together~!"

"Uh..What."

"Hehe~ I'm starving.. We should go have a... Curry sounds good, right?"

"*sigh* You..."

"Hehe, you sigh a lot today~"

"Yeah, yeah, let's go... You bring your own money right?"

"Yup!"

Erin is relieved to see if there is still some connections between the brothers.

"Oh, and you should go in, dear Erin~"

"H-huh?"

"Yo, you shouldn't use your feminine voice out of nowhere! Especially in front of child!"

"Ehe~!"

"Uhhhh..."

"But yeah.. You should go in. There should be some paper you need to sign."

"Oh, O-okay!"

"Also, dear Erin..."

"Huh?"

"Don't mind what that dumb head says. He just need money to pay off his debt, and to gamble all night... So, don't mind him~"

"Oh.. Okay.."

"We know if you don't have anything to do with Mother's death, so yeah.. Don't mind that d*ck head."

"Oh my-!"

The Fourth son slaps the Second son.

"Oi! What the heck is that for!"

"Your language!"

"Wha- Oh yeah."

"Pffft-!"

Erin hold back her laugh.

"Hehe~ Well then, see you later, dear Erin~"

"See ya."

"Yes, take care!"

Both of them wave to Erin and walk to the exit.

"(..I guess I'll go in then..)"

*Click*

"Oh, Lady Erin! I was about to call you."

"Hello, sir.."

Erin's Dad is still sitting inside.

"Well then, let's start."

"Yes, sir."

Erin is holding a pen, and the Lawyer instruct Erin to where she needs to sign, while Erin's Dad is watching everything on Erin's side.

A few minutes later.

"Okay, that's all the papers that you need to sign. Now you're legally to take and use Madame Grace inheritance. Here are the keys. Both of you may leave now if there's no any questions."

"Yes, thank you for your assistance for my Mother."

"I'm just filling my role as her Lawyer, sir. If you in any need of legal assistance, just call me."

"Sure will. Well then, let's go Erin."

"Y-yes.."

"Excuse us."

*Click*

"(Huh?)"

When Erin's Dad open the door, Lily is standing outside the room. Seems like as if she wants to say something.

"..."

"(Lily?)"

"Let's go, Erin."

"Huh?! Oh yes!"

"..."

"(Does Lily want to say something?)"
