Granny Lyndon looked utterly embarrassed.
"Mother, stop..." Lily pleaded softly.
Lily continued, "Grandma, how would you want me to help you?"
Granny Lyndon and William looked at each other. " Lily, if you give us some money to help the family business overcome this rough patch, we will be grateful," she smiled.
William added, "Of course, we will give you some of the shares." 1
Lily stayed silent in deep thought.
Samantha continued her insults. "What shameless people! Did you forget that some of those shares were hers? You snatched it away from her. Now that you’ve run out of money, you come running to us." 1
"Mother, stop it!” Lily snapped, breaking her silence. She glanced at Granny Lyndon and agreed, "Fine, I agree to your terms."
She still has tens of millions with her. If she kept it any longer, it would be gone due to Samantha's gambling addiction. She would rather spend it in exchange for some shares. However, she was determined not to be cheated by them this time.
Granny Lyndon smiled widely and nodded. "That's
great! I knew you would not be too cruel. We’re still family, after all! We will exchange twenty percent of the shares for thirty million!"
"Fine." Lily nodded.
Granny Lyndon got what she came for, so she stood up and said, "Since tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't you two join us for dinner with the rest of the Lyndons?"
Lily laughed and shook her head. "Grandma, I can’t join you. I agreed to go shopping at Atlantic Street with my best friend."
