Chapter 108 - 108: Ill Will
Granduncle Danie was embarrassed by Juliana's rhetorical question.
Everyone knew how the extra $80 million investment in Lewis Group came from.
Juliana smiled at them, "Yes, I married Benson. Just give it to me straight."
Granduncle Danie was now embarrassed after Juliana had asked him back.
Everyone looked at each other before finally looking at Granduncle Owen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGranduncle Owen was a distant relative who could say these words most easily. Even if he fell out with Juliana, he could simply estrange himself from her in the future.
He looked at Juliana and said in a low voice, "Jill, since you are Mrs. Leach, you are certainly not short of money, so why not give up that twenty percent of the shares?"
Hearing this request, Juliana was not surprised at all. She looked at them with a smile.
All of them were a little embarrassed by Juliana's look, after all, they were plotting her money.
Suzanne said to Juliana, "Jill, Granduncle Owen meant no ill will..."
Juliana's voice was cold as she retorted back, "Standing on the side of a vicious stepmother like you is called no ill will?"
Suzanne couldn't argue with that.
Juliana was getting more and more eloquent.
Granduncle Danie said in a deep voice, "Jill, don't be on guard against us like this. We're not asking you to give up your shares."
Juliana looked at Granduncle Danie and said politely, "Granduncle Danie, you are already ninety years old and you should enjoy your old age in peace. Don't end up with the rumor of taking your grandniece's property and ruin your reputation."
Granduncle Danie had a good reputation.
Juliana didn't remember much about him because she had not had many dealings with him before.
Granduncle Owen's face became more and more sullen, "Juliana, it's rude to interrupt before the elders finish talking."
Juliana looked at them indifferently, "Okay, I'll wait until all of you are finished."
Juliana pretended to listen with all ears, which in turn made the crowd even more ashamed to speak.
Granduncle Danie's face suddenly went sullen, "Juliana, as elders, we are only considering for you now."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJuliana looked at Granduncle Danie and waited for him to speak without saying anything.
Granduncle Danie continued, "The Leach family is not as simple as our family; it is the richest family in F City. Our family is a humble family in comparison to it."
"So, what we mean is that you leave that twenty percent stake in the Lewis family so that we can afford to back you up if you are mistreated in the Leach family."
Juliana waited for a while, saw Granduncle Danie did not continue, then spoke, "Granduncle Danie, according to you, it's better for me to have the stake as my dowry, which can embolden me."
Granduncle Owen grew a little impatient, "The Leach family has so much money, they don't need yours. We have said that we will keep these shares for you."
Uncle Jason added, "Jill, we are your family after all and we won't harm you. The shares will remain the same, and we will give you $10 million a year, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Suzanne echoed, "Jill didn't even graduate from high school and she can't handle the shares if they are given to her."
Granduncle Danie concluded, "The shares stay with the Lewis family and you get $10 million a year, that's enough to embolden you."
Juliana raised her head and looked at the crowd, all of whom had a look of goodwill for her.
Some of them even looked like they were being gracious to give her $10 million a year so that she should not be ungrateful.
Juliana wanted to laugh when she looked at these, "All the elders, you want to take the inheritance my mother gave me. Are you all getting shameless as you grow old?"
