The next day, Mr Jude’s PA was arrested for killing Mr Jude.
.
One month later, Cyril, the family lawyer to Mr Jude, came to his house and told Mrs Victoria that he has something important to tell her and the children, so Victoria and her children all went to the sitting room to know what their family lawyer wanted to say. They sat down to hear what he want to say. Andrew, the first son was there, Charles, Felix and Bella were also there, even Raphael was there too because the lawyer also summoned him.
“Look at the way you sat down with us, as if you are part of our family, will you get out from here before I change my mourning mood to an angry mood towards you. Nonsense! “Victoria yelled at Raphael
“Am sorry ma…. I thought I was included in the meeting, that was why I came, but I think I will go inside my room since I’m not among the meeting“ And so Raphael stood up to leave but the lawyer called him back.
“Raphael come back, you are among the meeting that was why I also summoned you, please sit down “The lawyer said and Raphael sat down, while Victoria hissed.
“Nonsense, look at his mouth like he’s going inside his room, as if his father even supported a block in building this house with my late husband“ she said and eyed Raphael.
“Mum, please let him be “Andrew said
“Oh please shut up, that is how you supports him in all the rubbish he does in this house.“ she said to Andrew while the lawyer sighed before talking.
“Anyway, I called for this meeting because I have something important to tell you, Al……..“
He has not finished his statement when Victoria interrupted him.
“Wait, before saying anything further, I have something to ask, my late husband is still in the mortuary, and you said that they shouldn’t fix a date for his burial yet, do you want him to remain in the mortuary forever? won’t we bury him? Victoria asked the lawyer
“Mom, don’t you think one month is too early to bury dad? Bella asked
“Yes, I think it’s too early to bury dad“ Felix added
“What do you know about burial? The two of you should better keep quiet when your elders are talking “she scolded them.
“What mom said is true, I don’t see any reason why they should still keep dad’s corpse in the mortuary, he need to be buried “Charles said
“Thank you my son, you are really understandable“ Victoria said to Charles
“You have all spoken well, but the reason why they are still delaying to bury him, is because they are still investigating about his death, we want to fish out the person who poisoned him before he can be laid to rest“ The lawyer explained.
“But I thought the Police have caught his PA, who poisoned him and I want her to rot in jail for killing my husband ” Victoria said.
“Well, she is still at the Police custody, but very soon I think they will let her go because they don’t think she poisoned the coffee which she made for him and also they think Mr Jude ate something which was poisoned before coming to his office that day, maybe he ate something outside“ the lawyer narrated
“I disagree with you, that girl called his PA poisoned his coffee, I know what am saying“ Victoria insisted.
“Anyway like I said before, they are still investigating his death, but that is by the way for now, the actual reason why I called for this meeting is because of his Will, yes Mr Jude wrote a Will before his sudden demise“ the lawyer told them.
“A Will? Does he know he was going to die?“ Victoria asked surprisedly.
“Nobody knows when he or she is going to die, but it’s good to prepare yourself in everything you do because this world is a market place“ the lawyer said and Victoria sighed heavily.
“Ok we are all ears, you can continue “she said
“So as I was saying before the interruption, your father, Mr Jude wrote a Will before his sudden demise. In the Will, he stated that every of his children will have a share in his property including Raphael “The lawyer said and Victoria’s eyes opened wide.
