It was a beautiful Saturday morning in Jake's house. He had just finished his Gym when he received a rather distressing call from the family lawyer about the Will his Father had written.

Right after he got off the call, Jefferson requested a meeting at the Robinson's residence and Jake hurriedly freshened up and went.

It was obvious the lawyer had told them something concerning the will and he needed to Clear things with them. To be justified, he brought with him the signed papers and also informed the lawyer to come.

About an hour later, Jake walked into the living room to meet those hateful eyes he never wanted to see but he's got no choice. There was no need to greet them since no one would reply to him nor did he expect them to acknowledge his presence.

“Why did you call for a meeting?” Jake questioned Jefferson.

“Why shouldn't I? You've got a lot of questions to answer.” Jefferson replied with a smirk.

Umm, there's something you need to do, Conversations we had… I mean, check his phone and delete my number and all the conversations. There's a recording he sent to me too, just do something about it.” Mrs Rosalie Instructed.“ What if I put the blame on Jake? I mean, you also want to get rid of him right?” Strausser asked the moment he grabbed the lawyer's phone and began playing the recording. “Yes, but if it's about killing Jake, I disagree.” Mrs Rosalie replied.“I'm not going to kill, we would set him up and blame him for the lawyer's deat
