This had given her a lot of headaches and she really could not do anything about it.
For one thing, she didn’t know how to explain the whole thing to the Heath family. Secondly, Charlotte's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and if they didn’t get married soon, she would be seen as a joke. Then again, she was also afraid that if the divorce was delayed for a long time, there would more accidents, and Joyce might return one day.
Right now, the time was just right.
Luther had forgotten about his growing feelings for Joyce, and this was the perfect time to break their intimate relationship. Most of the remarks on the Internet were unfavorable to Joyce anyway.
Perhaps Luther would remember everything again, but she was not worried about that. What was done could not be undone, what could he do anyway?
Jacqueline thought about it and secretly pinched her thigh hard, choking, "Since I married into the Warner family, I have sacrificed all my life for the family. Originally I thought I should be able to get myself a seat among the board of directors, but... All those shares that should have belonged to me now all belong to Joyce. When I think about it, my heart hurts so much."
Luther raised an eyebrow without saying anything.
Shelly said, "I'm so angry about this! Grandma's will originally left 10% of the company to Luther, leaving 5% to Mom, 4% to me, and only 1% to Joyce. But before she died, Grandma somehow crossed out all of Mom's and my shares! The 1% share left to Joyce, with a zero added after the 1, became 10%! What is it if not malicious tampering? Luther, you promised us that you would help us get our shares back, you can't go back on your word, and now that you've lost your memory, I have to remind you again! Don't forget about it!"
"I promised you guys?" Luther asked suspiciously. He had gone through the news before, and the police had sent the will to the most authoritative identification center in the Capital for analysis, and the most authoritative expert there had identified that it was indeed Grandma's own handwriting. There was no evidence that Joyce had coerced Grandma to change the will.
He could not understand it at all. Although his grandmother loved Joyce, it was reasonable for her to give 1% of the shares to Joyce so that she could live the rest of her life without worries, but 10% of the shares would mean the ability to influence the operation and decision making of R&S. Even if his grandmother was cheated by Joyce, she would not make such a mistake? Just why?
Shelly felt nervous, but still feigned certainty and said, "Of course! You have already filed for divorce, just wait to get the divorce certificate, and then ask her for the shares. Brother, you must do it for us, you cannot let Joyce bully our poor Mom. Now even her shares are taken away by Joyce, how can Mom even have the face to go to R&S again? You promised to do something for us, just don't forget about it."
"I see." Luther nodded gently.
Naturally, he did not want to let the group's shares all fall through the cracks, and losing the crucial 10% would make it difficult for him to counteract the overseas branch of the Warner family.
As for what was going on, he would find out.
Luther then turned to Charlotte and looked at her with his eyebrows furrowed.
He had a general understanding of what happened before.
The girl who saved him was now the daughter of the Heath family who has been missing for more than 20 years. She not only had a marriage contract with him but because of what happened that night, she was pregnant with his child.
Well, it indeed seemed like something he would do though…
