Chapter 249
Audrey turned sideways to check her bag as soon as the car started. Then she saw someone rushing to the road behind the car.
Audrey let out a scream.
Harold looked at her in surprise.
"What's the matter?"
Audrey gestured him to look back.
Harold followed her gaze and looked through the window. He saw Toby, who had run to the side of the road.
"Who is that man?" Harold did not recognize Toby.
"Our biological father." Audrey replied indifferently.
Harold's expression changed slightly.
"He is our father?"
"Biologically... Yes." Audrey teased him, "He must have recognized you. So he came out. It seems that he still cares about you very much. If you want to see him, I can let the driver turn around now. You can go and reunite with father."
Harold rolled his eyes at her, "It's been so many years. He has never contacted me. He didn't even turn to relevant departments and leave a blood sample for a DNA test. Do you think he cares about me?"
"Most people in this country value men more than women. It's in their bones. A father cares about his son."
"Alright, dear sister. That's enough. I think you are my only family!" Harold said firmly.
Audrey gently held Harold's hand, "Alright."
Her phone rang.
She immediately released his hand.
"Oh! It's your brother-in-law!" Audrey quickly pressed the answer button, "Bryson!"
Harold was a bit upset.
His sister threw his hand away as soon as she got her husband's call.
He could hear Audrey and Bryson's intimate conversation clearly.
Bryson asked, "Where are you?"
Audrey replied, "We have just left the restaurant."
"Have you eaten your meal yet?"
"Yes. I also ordered some food for you. Have you received it?"
"Yes. I knew it was you."
"No matter how busy you are, you have to eat your meal. OK?"
"I will eat the food no matter how much work is waiting for me. Otherwise, I will feel sorry for you."
Harold couldn't stand anymore.
Could you stop it? Your sweet chat was torture to a single man.
...
Toby returned to the restaurant with a dejected expression.
Wendy and Zoe noticed it.
Zoe was angry.
When Toby sat down, Wendy smiled and said, "Dad, what happened? Why did you run out?"
Toby tried to appear calm and said, "Nothing. Have you ordered any dishes?" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Zoe glared at him and wanted to say something. But Wendy held her hand and stopped her.
"Dad, we are family. Why don't you tell us? If there is any problem, we will help you!"
There was a hint of impatience in Toby's face. He said, "Alright, stop guessing. Nothing happened. And there's nothing for you to help. Let's order our food now."
Toby signaled the waiter to come over.
Zoe was furious.
However, Toby was unwilling to tell them, so there is no point in asking. And Wendy could only pat Zoe's hand to comfort her.
There were other things to discuss today, so Zoe suppressed her anger.
After a while, Toby finished ordering.
Zoe said, "Toby, we and the Shaw family have been discussing the wedding date. Wendy and Julian will get married by the end of this year. However, Wendy has left the entertainment circles and does not
have any income now. I am afraid that the Shaws will look down upon her after she marries Julian."
Toby has recovered from the disappointment. He frowned and said, "Wendy is my daughter. Although our family can't compare to the Shaw family, our wealth is ranked top ten in Peace City. Wendy is a good match for Julian."
"That's true. But if Wendy has some property, her life in the Shaw's will be easier."
"I have said before that I will give Wendy two villas and some shares as dowry."
"I know." Zoe started to talk about the major topic, "I heard that you have been keeping Audrey's shares for her. And you will give them to her when she gets twenty-four. It will be Audrey's twenty- fourth birthday in half a month, but she has not shown up."
"Wendy is also your daughter. What about her? She is qualified to get a share of the inheritance. My parents-in-law didn't like me. It's fine. But Wendy was innocent. Your father only left shares for Audrey. She still hasn't shown up. She must have given up the shares. I want to ask for the ten percent of shares for Wendy."
Wendy saw Toby frown. She immediately came up with an idea and pulled Zoe's arm, saying softly, "Mom, Grandpa left the shares for my sister. I can't take it. No matter what happens after I marry Julian, I have to solve it on my own. I can't steal my sister's shares just because I'm afraid of being looked down upon. If I take it, how can I explain it to my sister? She doesn't like me. If I take her shares, she will hate me. I can't do it!"
Hearing that, Toby's expression became even more gloomy.
"Alright, Wendy. I will transfer all of Audrey's shares to you after fifteen days."
"Dad, no. It is my sister's shares. Grandpa left it to my sister. How can I take it?" Wendy shook her head in panic, "Besides, Audrey may blame you for this. I can't accept it."
Toby looked firmly at Wendy, "Wendy, I have made up my mind on this matter. Fifteen days later, I will hold a press conference and publicly transfer the shares to you. The Shaws won't have any reason to make light of you."
Wendy was moved and looked at Toby teary-eyed.
"Dad!"
"You are a good child. You are kind-hearted and always think about your sister. Audrey doesn't have such a kind heart as yours. I know you deserve the ten percent of shares."
"Thank you. Dad!"
Tears rolled down her cheeks. Wendy was extremely excited.
Toby was so easy to influence. Now the shares would be hers.
Audrey, did you see it? I had taken your everything. Your fiancé, your father, your home. And finally... Your shares.
