Chapter 20
I heard the flaw in his words and said with a sneer, “you have to cooperate with the Nash group because I haven’t studied bright pearl for three years abroad? Is this your first time working together?”
“That’s right!”
“However, as far as I can tell, the Moon and Nash groups united three years ago. That time mentioned doesn’t make sense to me at this moment.” I carried on, saying, “In comparison to us, the Nash group is three times smaller, and the jewelry design team is less competent. Dad’s reliance on their assistance is implausible!”
I hit the nail on the head,” there is only one possibility, dad is now willing to get their help, and they can’t give any help with their strength, dad only wants to increase your backup by merging, am I right?”
He groaned when he saw me in a state of agitation.
He groaned when he saw me in a state of agitation. The decision to allow me to study jewelry design is merely a way to let me out. That bright pearl can’t be duplicated in five years, so you and the Nash group work together behind my back and grow your skilled subordinates so that when I return home one day, there will be no force to contend with you. It’s all your people. They all pay attention to you. You’ll have no one to support you in your fight against me! The only reason you let emos, Ashley, and aunt work with the group was to further solidify their positions of authority! Is what I’m saying correct?”
“Trista, you don’t understand business. Not at all what you expect. Dad has no idea how to explain this to you. You should have faith in your father, Dad will always be for your good!”
“Is it for my own benefit?” I remarked with a sneer, “Will you take me to another country to waste three years of my life? Will you extend your authority in the shadows, without my knowledge? Will you watch your little daughter seduce my boyfriend?”
Leonard felt a pang of shame. “Even Dad knows Ashley and emos have made you feel uneasy in the past. Isn’t that what Dad said? You may give their child a name and be a surrogate mother in the future, why not?”
I wore a stern expression on my face. This should be enough. That’s what I got paid for eight years? The last thing I wanted was this!
“Let me tell you something today: We all have a fair shot at competing in this world. There is no way I’m letting the lunar group’s equity fall into the hands of strangers! If you don’t abide by the guidelines, we’ll go the legal route!” Said with a sarcastic tone of voice.
Fanny was the first to speak out in opposition, which surprised me “It’s all just a big, fat lie. Let go of all thoughts of a company’s stock or assets. Don’t weigh yourself. She is inexperienced and lacks strength, thus she can’t take on the challenge. In your hands, the group isn’t going to go bankrupt?”
It’s a good question. I put it plainly, and I mean it “As the board’s chairman, what is your aunt’s educational and professional history, as well as level and qualifications? Have you ever thought about it?”
Fanny was so enraged that she could barely speak “My husband and son-in-law will serve as my right arm even if I am no longer able to do it! What about you, please! You don’t have a single thing. What steps do you take to keep the group in check?”
My heart is aching right now!
I’ve lost my mother and emos, so why am I getting this treatment?
What makes them so united in their hatred of me because I am poor?
“In the end, it was all Grandpa’s hard work that made the moon group possible. It’s impossible for you to think of it!” I lowered my gaze and uttered a sarcastic remark “If my prediction is correct, Dad, you’re interested in owning stock in the Moon Group. In reality, what’s the point of this?”
His expression shifted dramatically. “What on earth are you on about?”
Is Dad willing to hold off on selling the equity until Bright Pearl’s technique is thoroughly researched and the group’s value has more than doubled?” I was absolutely sure of what I was saying.
Leonard’s point of view
Almost unable to maintain my balance, I sank to the ground. Were it not for Fanny’s quick assistance, I might have fallen!
I couldn’t believe what Trista was saying.
It took me this long to realize how intelligent she has grown due to my lack of attention to her development.
She was able to figure out what was going on in such a short amount of time! Without any effort, she figured out the secret I’d been keeping for three years.
“I won’t consent to anything if dad wants to sell Grandpa’s hard work!”
“What the heck? It’s not clear how dad might have sold the group.” Smiling, I put on my best face “In exchange for the inheritance, Trista, Dad will give you a home, a car, and a lot of money. You have the freedom to lead the life you wish, free from the entanglements of the corporate world. Aren’t you pleased with that?”
“It’s not good at all.” Smiling, she nodded her head in agreement. “You’ve ruined the days that I looked forward to the most. Dad, if you’re a jerk like that, we’ll have to meet in court!”
Oh, so the earlier decision was correct. She can’t possibly stay.
Trista’s point of view.
“What’s up, then? We’ll sue you, then.” Fanny unexpectedly burst out laughing instead of cowering in fear.
I’m not sure why. When I see her grin, I become itchy in my heart all the more.
There must be something wrong with her.
Smiling, Fanny slipped the plush over her shoulders “Leonard,” you have your hands full.” My daughter, who we cared for so long, has threatened to take legal action against us. She is really capable.”
She approached me and gave me a sneaky smile. In order to sue us, you’ll need proof.
“Grandpa’s will is the best evidence!” I exclaimed, perplexed.
“Really?” She gave a wry grin. “Do you have a will? Take it out and have a look!”
I said calmly, “I had handed it over to my father before going abroad.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying!” Leonard, to my amazement, rejected it and stated, “It’s not true.” “Does Trista have any post-crash sequels after the accident? Do you have to babble nonstop? It’s as though you’re another person.”
I was in a state of shock. I was surprised to see my father’s demure demeanor change in front of the benefits!
Looking at him, I snapped my teeth and screamed. “Is Dad still planning to deny such a significant event? In front of all the servants, I gave it to you!”
Why hasn’t the servant shown up yet? Suddenly, I saw that everyone’s expressions were weird.
“Even if Grandpa and Grandma are no longer here, Grandpa’s lawyer Rupert is the best witness! You can’t fool around!”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Really?” When asked what she thought, Fanny replied with a sneaky smirk “If you can’t back up your claims, how can anyone believe you? Is Rupert’s legal counsel really working for you?”
I was in a state of shock.
In fact, I’ve been away for three years, and during that time, the servants have been dispersed. Rupert may one day be purchased by them. They’ve been working on this for a long time. How is it possible for them to leave me something?
