Accidentally Yours (Serena and Harrison) novel Chapter 9

Harrison and Serena walked side-by-side into Shiwa Law Firm. Gail Levine, the lawyer handling Vincent's will, was already waiting at the reception desk. He was a man in his middle years. His sharp eyes exuded both professionalism and keen insight.

Serena greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Levine."

Gail nodded in acknowledgment before his gaze shifted to the man beside her. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.

"Harrison?"

Harrison's lips curled slightly, his tone carrying an unusual hint of respect. "Mr. Levine."

Gail's eyes darted between them before finally settling on Harrison. "What brings you here today?"

"I'm here with my wife to handle some inheritance matters," Harrison said matter-of-factly, showing no sign of hesitation.

Gail's surprise deepened. "Your wife?"

Harrison gave a slight nod, then effortlessly wrapped an arm around Serena's slender waist, pulling her in closer. He introduced her succinctly, "This is my wife, Serena Linden."

Gail turned to Serena as if seeking confirmation. "So... he's the one you married?"

She smiled slightly and nodded.

"When did this happen?" Gail asked next.

"Just now," Harrison replied.

Hearing that, Gail chuckled. "Alright. Let's talk inside."

With that, Harrison kept his arm around Serena as they followed Gail into a quiet conference room. Once Gail sat across from them, his expression shifted into a professional seriousness. "First, I need to see your marriage certificate."

At his request, they presented their marriage certificate. As Gail examined it, he explained, "This is just standard procedure—nothing more."

Serena nodded. "I understand."

Looking over their marriage certificate, Gail couldn't help but remark, "I never thought you'd actually settle down, Harrison. You've got good taste."

Harrison's lips curled into a faint, effortless smile. "The timing was right."

Serena played along, offering a polite smile.

When everything checked out, Gail retrieved Vincent's will. "Ms. Linden, you have now met the conditions for inheritance. As per Mr. Linden Senior's wishes, you'll officially inherit an 18% stake in Linden Group. Regal Majesty Manor in the western suburbs will also be transferred to your name."
