Chapter 398 : Patricide
Old Mr. Grant did not say anything, Aidan also did not say, only Laura gently shook her head.
The fact that Bruce and Lindsey had done this before they got married, and that people didn’t say anything, was a tacit acknowledgement of what he had done, and that Kaley had deliberately brought it up at this juncture, it was clear that he still wanted to get Burton the benefit.
The living room is quiet, the cold air from the air vents blowing out, the original temperature is not high in the space, feel even colder.
Kaley waited for nearly three minutes, Old Mr. Grant never explained, can not help but some irritation: “Lindsey is an outsider, Bruce just give her all the equity, is not too ill-considered, I do not agree.”
Her voice was very thin, but when her voice was raised, Lindsey and Charlotte in the activity room could hear her.
Lindsey looked up slightly, her gaze through the gap in the screen, glanced at Kaley with little emotion, the bottom of her clear eyes instantly floated contempt.
Charlotte’s eyes are also a bit cold, since Lindsey married into The Grant family, no one has ever dared to say she is an outsider in front of Old Mr. Grant.
The third aunt is clearly stroking the tiger’s whiskers.
In the oppressive and dreary atmosphere, Old Mr. Grant curled his hand and knocked on the coffee table with a calm and strong voice, his harsh eyes fell on Kaley’s face and he opened his mouth lightly: “Who did you call an outsider?”
“Isn’t she?” Kaley said with tears in her eyes, first saying that Lindsey is not doing her job, making a charity fund to lose money, and then saying that Lindsey is not behaving properly, by the way, crying that Burton can not get anything.
The more she talks, the more energetic she is, and the sound of crying is also miserable, do not know also think that the family died.
Bruce folded his arms, sitting casually beside Aidan, his eyes focused on the back of his hand that inch, did not move for a long time.
Without Lindsey, he would not have been able to stand up in this life, nor would he have had a pair of lovely and lively sons.
But since he promised Old Mr. Grant not to interfere in this matter, he just listened.
Kaley at first spoke with sincerity, but then realized that no one was paying much attention to what she was saying, and felt something was wrong in the back of her mind, so she closed her voice in embarrassment.
“Finished?” Old Mr. Grant picked up his cup of tea and took a sip of it, his tiger eyes narrowed dangerously. “Nothing more to add?”
“Dad …” Kaley heard the threat in his words and felt a cold chill run down her back, biting her lower lip to death, not daring to be reckless.
The air is once again silent, a little movement, can be in the ear infinite amplification.
Kaley’s heart beat into her throat, cold sweat gradually wetting her back.
She was impulsive …
Sure enough, Old Mr. Grant spoke again, his words desperate to leave no room for error. “The shares were transferred by me to Bruce, do you still have a problem with that now?”
Kaley’s face suddenly sank, eyes flashed with reluctance, mouth open, but could not say a word.
In this family, who dares to have a problem with Old Mr. Grant!
“Since there is no opinion, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned in the future.” Old Mr. Grant knocked his teacup heavily, and his tone was unquestionable. “From today onwards, Burton is not allowed to serve in the company, you also give me a little bit of honesty.”
“But Dad …” Kaley stood up shaking, her face, which was exquisitely made up, was a dead white. “Burton is your own grandson, he has The Grant family’s blood in him too!”
Old Mr. Grant narrowed his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes turned into two sharp swords, stabbing straight at her with a rather frightening look.
In the silence, Aidan pursed his lips and said without delay, “Third sister, whether Burton is a member of The Grant family or not, you know better than any of us.”
Kaley shuddered and looked at him incredulously. “Big brother, what do you mean by that!”
As if unaware of her anger, Aidan gave Old Mr. Grant a sideways glance, saw him nod, and then added, “There are some things that we can just turn a blind eye to, it’s you who’s greedy.”
“Okay, I’m greedy, right?” Kaley laughed back in anger, the muscles at the corners of his eyes trembled violently, as if all his strength had been drained, and his tightly clenched fists loosened. “Since you all think so, I have nothing more to say.”
After the words, she bent down to pick up her bag and opened it, took out a document from it, and threw it onto the coffee table with a “pop”. “I’m just greedy. I’m obviously a member of The Grant family, but you guys never see Burton.”
Bruce’s eyelids fluttered, and at Aidan’s behest, he picked up the file and flipped it open.
Inside was the shareholding she had bought from the patriarch, and the share that Old Mr. Grant had given her when she had married.
According to the proportion, she owns 5% of the Grant Group, and once it is transferred to Burton, Burton can be directly promoted to the director.
Bruce paid special attention to the names of the seniors and handed the document to Aidan. “Uncle, you should read it too.”
Aidan was unsure, took it and flipped through it, leaned over and whispered something in Old Mr. Grant’s ear, his face gradually became ugly.
Old Mr. Grant’s expression was flat, it was not a big deal.
He was sad because his daughter, who had deliberately tried to give away the family business to others.
After a moment of silence, Old Mr. Grant spoke again, but in a much colder tone. “The Grant Group’s shareholding is never released, not to mention the one in the hands of the seniors, even the one in your hands, but only to enjoy a certain amount of dividends, not to participate in the management.”
Kaley was suddenly stunned, and his eyes widened incredulously. “Dad, you just don’t want Burton to be good?”
“When Bruce almost died, did you think about Bruce and The Grant family?” Old Mr. Grant suddenly became angry and raised his hand and slapped down the coffee table. “I don’t want to see you. From now on, there will be only one son and one daughter in The Grant family!”
With those words, he left the room full of people and greeted Jack upstairs.
Kaley fell into the couch, unable to regain consciousness for a long time. According to Old Mr. Grant, even if he could take a dividend, the money he would receive each year would only be a few million.
The living room once again became silent, the air around as if frozen, forcing the heart to tremble.
Kaley lay down in the sofa and gasped for a while, stood up trembling, plucked a fierce glance at Bruce, called Burton and walked out. “Burton let’s go!”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“Oh …” Burton stood up woodenly, thoughtfully went over to help Kaley, and walked out without looking back.
After they left, Aidan let out a long sigh and tapped Bruce on the shoulder, gesturing for him to go along and comfort Old Mr. Grant.
In the children’s room, Lindsey followed suit with a sigh, her eyes unfocused as she looked out the window.
Kaley must have known what Burton had done back then, but she had the nerve to split up with Old Mr. Grant, and I don’t think there’s another person in the world who is so shameless.
“It’s enough for you to be good with Bruce, you don’t need to worry about these things at home.” Charlotte advised, saw that her son was already dozing, so she made up the bed and carried him in. “The third aunt’s nature is strong, she was thinking of taking over the family business at first, Old Mr. Grant did not agree.”
Lindsey laughed and withdrew her eyes to look after Big Boy and Little Boy.
Fortunately, Old Mr. Grant was still alive, she dreaded to think what Kaley would be like if Old Mr. Grant was gone.
Under the blue sky, the highway to the city is full of traffic.
A black Audi, driving smoothly in the fast lane, the smooth lines of the body, constantly reflecting the dazzling sunlight.
Inside the car, Kaley wrinkled her eyebrows, cold face, looking unusually grave.
She had thought she could get her son into the Grant Group this time, but she didn’t know that Old Mr. Grant had actually left a backhand.
And it was all because of that bitch Lindsey!
The first thing you need to do is to get your son back into the Grant Group.
Rob? Burton sat up in shock and looked at her with a frightened expression. “Mom, we’d better go to Grandpa and admit our mistake, less than one percent of the equity, a year’s dividend is not enough to plug the gap.”
“Beg?” Kaley spat out a word fiercely, a cold smile curling up on her lips. “If begging worked, you wouldn’t have been swept out of the house. Old Mr. Grant wouldn’t have done this to me if you hadn’t left a handle on what you were doing back then!”
Burton pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
Who would have thought that Bruce would be so lucky, who would have thought that a small nurse would be able to cure him when he was injured in such a way that even internationally renowned doctors could not do anything about it.
He also did remedy the situation afterwards, but unexpectedly met Tina, otherwise Bruce would not have the scenery today.
“I decided to go to Newport once more.” In the middle of the walk, Kaley’s ghostly and eerie voice floated over. “I don’t want money, I just want Lindsey dead!”
“One death is still a death, why not two together.” Burton pulled back to his thoughts, his face faintly floating with a strong murderous aura. “They die, there are two small ones left, Grant Group is such a big mess, cousin a woman, is not able to hold up.”
Kaley glanced approvingly at her son and smiled. “Wait for my news.”
Three months had passed and the weather was getting colder, the sky was always overcast.
Old Mr. Grant played with them every day, and rarely went to Old man Zack to play chess.
However, Old man Zack would always come to the house whenever he came back here.
On this day, Old Mr. Gregor was having a dinner party, and Old Mr. Grant had a few more drinks because he was happy, and halfway through the game with Old man Zack, no one knew what happened, and they suddenly fainted.
When Lindsey received the call, he was accompanying Bruce to receive a very important client, and the two of them left the client behind and went straight to the hospital.
Old Mr. Grant was taken to the emergency room and was not doing too well.
Finding Jack in the waiting area, Lindsey was so anxious that tears fell from her eyes. “Jack, how long has Grandpa been in there?”
“It’s been about an hour, Old man Zack is doing slightly better, I’ve contacted the CID to check.” Jack tensed his face, patted Bruce’s shoulder and said comfortingly, “Old Mr. Grant will be fine, don’t worry.”
