After a series of questions from Old Mr. Soto, several uncles also fell silent.
Then Old Mr. Soto added, “The downtown Wami mall goes to Harlee, and the share transfer contract can be signed later.”
“Dad, you’re so biased.”
“That’s right, this Wami Mall and Fryer Group both have the highest annual earnings.”
“I really don’t understand what Dad really means.”
“It’s not too biased.”
…
Adriana and Harlee both looked serious, no one said anything.
Because they don’t know what to say.
Wami Mall and Fryer Group, two of the most profitable properties under the Soto name, are now divided between Adriana and Harlee.
They both suffer from the shame of it, and the stock’s uncles and doors get into arguments over these issues.
Because of the matter of the share transfer agreement, so much so that dinner was delayed until 9:00 pm.
Adriana and Harlee ended up dividing the property as originally planned, and the stock uncles ended up throwing the door open, not to mention how angry they were.
The lawyer and the notary left.
The only three people left in the large restaurant were Adriana and Old Mr. Soto, who sat down to eat together.
Adriana sighed, took her chopsticks and served Old Mr. Soto’s food and said, “Grandpa, you shouldn’t have done that.”
“Yeah, I’ve been busy for thirty years, and now I have Eliza and will be a father soon and don’t really want to inherit the family business.”
Harlee chimed in.
Old Mr. Soto dined with his head down and did not speak again.
Instead, Adriana continued, “Do you know what Archie came over today? He gave us a bank card, ten billion dollars, and the CG Group, but we turned it all down.”
She shook her head with a sigh, “It’s not because we’re so noble, it’s just that what we have is already enough, and for the rest of our lives, we just want to live a peaceful life.”
For Adriana, it was the hard and uneventful life that she wanted to live, compared to her current life.
At that time in The Hale family, very poor, very poor, working three jobs, but at that time she was very simple, only knew how to earn money.
And it will not be like now so hooked up, the deceitful, daily life in the chicken and dog life, so she can not adapt.
“You just don’t get delusional.”
Old Mr. Soto unceremoniously ‘added a knife’, “you know your own identity, not you can leave the burden. Girl, know why I insist on the Fryer Group and the mall with you siblings? That’s because half of the initial capital for the Fryer Group and the mall was paid for by your mother.”
“Pfft … cough …”
Harlee, who was eating, didn’t want to interrupt, but Old Mr. Soto’s words really surprised him.
“What do you mean? It was Ruth who paid half of the money?”
He looked to Old Mr. Soto, then to Adriana not only double frowned tightly, his heart deepened doubts.
Also puzzled was Adriana.
With a gloomy little face, she mixed the rice with the chopsticks she was holding in her hand and said in a slow voice: “If I’m not wrong, she gave money to all the people who followed her when she started the business, right?”
Old Mr. Soto looked at Adriana, froze, and then nodded heavily and gave a thumbs up towards her, “You’re smart.”
Snap~
Adriana directly slammed her chopsticks on the table and got a little angry, “I really don’t know what Ruth means? Since she came out and told me that she is my mother, why is there so much to cover up? And this young master, what does it have to do with me? Why should I have to carry so much at birth.”
She was angry in her mind.
Combining the previous events, as well as the understanding of Obren, she can basically conclude that the current Ruth can not reach the point of wealthy, but also can certainly be on the rich list.
The person who prefers this is her mother.
Adriana had mixed feelings and it was terrible.
“And Archie, huh, how many secrets does a superficial wimp hide in private? It’s amazing that The Alston family can still live that comfortably and unnoticed.”
If Archie hadn’t given her a bank card and CG Group today, she would have even thought Ruth was poor and indigent.
“You can’t blame either of them. There are still many things you are not clear about it. Besides, if they are rich again, the future inheritance will be yours and your brother’s. Obren patriarchal position is passed on to women, not men is the rule of the clan, otherwise your mother would be more like to let your brother to bear.”
Old Mr. Soto persuaded Adriana with all his heart and soul.
“Then I’m glad that I’m a man.”
Harlee chimed in with a sarcastic remark.
“Get out!”
Adriana glared at him, irritated.
“I’ve met with all those subordinates of hers, and if I’m not wrong, all of your companies give her dividends and proceeds belonging to her equity every year. By the time, Ruth could have her own business empire, why is she still hiding?”
Money!
Countless amounts of money!
Although it was her guess, she only really knew the truth about Ruth today, and she even wondered to herself how much more she didn’t know.
Also shocked was Harlee.
He slowly put down his chopsticks and leaned back in his seat, suddenly losing his appetite.
“Where is she? Why isn’t she showing up now, are you going to just leave the mess to me and Adriana?”
That’s really enough.
I don’t understand how there can be such a selfish mother.
Wasted motherhood.
Old Mr. Soto shook his head, “I’m not sure, the young master likes to travel around, even if the company she is given to Archie to take care of, never interfered from it.”
“Heh, she does enjoy and invest!”
Harlee wrapped her arms around her chest and skimmed her lips, in a very unhappy mood.
Adriana also fell into silence, not knowing what to say.
The three men just sat there for days and a half without speaking.
And only after that, Adriana said: “If my guess is correct, then I will not take over the CG Group, and I will not be taking care of the Fryer Group. Let’s leave it like this, after all, losing money is not losing my money, I would like to see, when Ruth plans to show up.”
Not always want to come forward, Adriana thought it would be better to try to provoke.
” I agree.”
Harlee nodded.
“Tsk, you kid, you …”
Old Mr. Soto wanted to say something again, but the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back, hesitated for a long time and finally chose to be silent.
“Alas, the path is of your own choosing. You mothers always have to meet, let it be, let it be. I’m old, these things can not care …”
With that, he got up, turned around and walked straight out of the restaurant.
Because there was something important to say just now, all the servants and household staff were dismissed.
Now that Old Mr. Soto had gone upstairs, the large hall was left to Adriana and Harlee.
The two sat for a while and Adriana said helplessly, “Do you think that if I run away far away and change my name, they will still find me?”
They?
Who is it?
Harlee thought about it and thought those people should be talking about Ruth.
