Chapter 631 Biting a Chunk of Flesh From You
Abigail sneered. “My dear uncle, how many shares do you have?”
They didn’t have many shares, just a few.
However, Lawrence’s family held the majority, along with Abigail’s shares, which exceeded 50 percent. That’s why they were instigated by Molly to come and claim their share of the inheritance.
Who else would do it?
“Not much; just a little over ten percent in total,” Scarlett replied to Abigail.
Abigail smiled. “Then how many shares does our family own?”
As soon as she said that, Molly and incent knew what she was going to do.
“More than 50 percent.” Lawrence calmed down now.
Sean sat down on the side as he knew how Abigail would handle this.
“With more than 50 percent, we can just kick out those who want a share of the inheritance.” Abigail coldly looked at everyone and said, “Whoever holds the most shares is the boss. When it comes to this, what’s the point of talking about feelings? You talk about feelings, but the person who forces others to do something won’t care about feelings.”
The most significant change in her this year was that she would never easily back down in the business world. If she had the chance to retaliate, she would at least take a chunk of flesh from the other party.
Lawrence listened to her words and looked at Molly and the other relatives with a cold gaze.
“How dare you!” Molly immediately got angry.
“Dad, she dares to defend someone who harmed your daughter. What are you afraid of? I will only respect the elderly who deserve it. Why should we consider family ties for someone who doesn’t deserve respect?” Abigail retorted.
Scarlett and Lawrence looked at her without saying a word.
Abigail’s viewpoint was based on reason.
When they dealt with Vincent and Molly, emotions couldn’t be used anymore.
“Indeed, you were raised by outsiders. You don’t care about family ties at all,” Vincent mocked.
“The reason I’m doing this now is that I care about my parents’ family ties. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even bother with the Pearsons’ affairs,” Abigail coldly countered. In the battle of words, she didn’t want to lose.
Moral blackmail wouldn’t work on her, and her words immediately struck a chord with Lawrence and Scarlett.
Lawrence made up his mind and looked at Vincent and Molly with a cold gaze. “You can have the moncy, but don’t even think about dividing the shares. Even if I die in the future, I still want to have an explanation for my father! Moreover, everyone knows how my father had a stroke.”
Since Abigail said so, he chose to stand by his daughter’s side.
Moll couldn’t believe it. “Are you serious, Lawrence? You only plan to give us money and not divide the shares?!”
“Yes, I took over the family business in college, and now it has been a few years since my son took over. We, the Pearson Family, have worked hard for so many years. Why should we divide the shares
just because you say so? How do you calculate your contribution compared to ours?!” Since their relationship had fallen apart, there was nothing more to say,
Molly took a deep breath and stared at Lawrence. “This is treason!”
“Your words mean nothing today. You chose this path yourself. You can choose the law to protect your rights, and you will have to pay whatever amount is determined. As for the others, you won’t be getting any shares as well, and it’s easy to eliminate you if I want to.” Lawrence raised his chin and said to everyone.
He had his daughter’s support, so he wasn’t afraid.
The relatives had nothing to say. When it came to falling apart and disregarding emotions, the one with the most shares was the decision-maker. Anyone could be kicked out of the Pearsons’ business because of their dissatisfaction.
Molly pointed at Lawrence but couldn’t find the words to speak. After a moment, she clutched her chest and fell onto the couch.
When he tried to go forward to help, Abigail immediately stopped him. “Don’t go!”
Scarlett hesitated for a moment before she dialed 911 on her phone.
Vincent pretended to care and went forward to support Molly as he shouted, “Mom!”
The others also approached to see what was happening and realized something was wrong. They pushed and shoved to leave.
“Don’t leave! Everyone is involved in today’s matter. Since we are here to divide the family assets, everyone should contribute to Molly’s hospital expenses. Otherwise, how can you justify the money you
spent on flying all the way here?” Abigail sneered.
People who had no connection with the Pearsons dared to come and demand shares. It was clear that they were taking advantage of Lawrence and his wife’s gentle nature.
“We were wrong in this matter. We apologize to you. Can you let us go? We promise we will never come back again!”
“Yes, we were deceived too!”
After they spoke, they quickly ran outside.
The room fell silent, and Abigail sat on another couch as she coldly watched Molly gasping for breath on the couch. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Lawrence struggled internally. He felt that this was wrong, but he also resented Molly’s favoritism.
An ambulance quickly arrived and took Molly away.
“The Pearsons may face negative news next, but I don’t think we have anything to fear,” Sean said to the downcast Lawrence and Scarlett.
Lawrence looked at him for a long time before he asked. “Is what we’re doing really right?”
