Kent had never heard of Silvester Chanon. He angrily cursed at the madman called Silvester on the phone and asked the lawyer he knew on the phone, âIâm willing to be pay more.â âSorry, still no deal,â
the lawyer said. Kent could not suppress his anger. âDamn it, are you lawyers stupid? Youâre willing to give up a lucrative job for the sake of that bit of reputation. Just think about it, what if you lose the lawsuit? You still got your money, no? You just have to try your best to fight, right?â
The lawyer told Kent, âMr. Barton, let me be honest with you. Itâs not just about money. We cross the wrong people, and we as defendant lawyers would get it as well. Therefore, no one is willing to provoke Silvester Chanon the Madman. âMr. Barton, listen to my advice. You wonât be able to get a lawyer.
Work hard to collect evidence on your own and defend yourselves.â âIf even you lawyers canât do it, how can we defend ourselves?â
âI guess you can only do your best. Mrs. Barton, I still have something on. Excuse me.â The lawyer hurriedly hung up the phone. Kentâs expression was extremely cold. After thinking about it, he called Annalise. Although he and Annalise had fallen out because of the shares, blood was still thicker than water. Now, he had returned the shares of the Moonlight Group to Annalise.
He figured that her Uncle Kent was there to ask her for a little help. If she had any conscience, she should help. He couldnât get through to the other end of the line. âGoddamn it.â Kent knew that he was still on Annaliseâs blacklist and was very unhappy. He immediately changed to another spare phone and called Annalise. As expected, the call connected. Annaliseâs polite voice was heard. âHello, who is this?â
Kent really wanted to retort. She was so polite to strangers and yet disrespected her own family.
Thinking that he had something to ask of him now, Kent sighed and lowered his posture. âAnna, itâs Uncle Kent. Well, Abbie must have been crazy to do such a thing. Lucky for her that Julianâs grandfather is fine. Anna, youâre on good terms with Julian. Can you please⦠Hey, helloâ¦â Annalise had already hung up. Kent was speechless. He felt a ball of fire burning in his lungs. It was so hot that his lungs were about to explode. âThis ingrate!â He thought.
He could only call Alexander. Initially, he thought that Alexander would not pick up his call.
Unexpectedly, the call was picked up immediately. Kent immediately begged Alexander to plead for mercy on account that he and Abigail were husband and wife. Alexanderâs cold voice was heard. âMr.
Barton, Abigail and I have already agreed to divorce. I am now the plaintiff!â âAlexanderâ¦â Alexander interrupted, âThe case will go to court in three months. All participants will have to pay the price!â With that, he hung up.
Kent was even more furious. He gritted his teeth and scolded, âThese assholes! Why was Abbie doing all of that for in the first place, huh?â Abigailâs case would not go to court until three months later. After an afternoon of rest, Samuelâs condition stabilized a lot. Albert, Christopher, and Cassandra all came to see Samuel one after another. When they visited Samuel, they would ask Annalise about Samuelâs condition.
Annalise told them that Samuel was doing well. He just needed to rest for a week. When they heard that he would be fine after resting for a week, Cassandraâs eyes were filled with tears. She put his hands together and repeatedly thanked the heavens for the blessing. Albert and Christopher looked at each other after learning that their brother would be fine. They figured that their boss was lucky to have escaped death again.
Annalise said that he was going to do acupuncture on the patient and asked Julian to accompany her.
Albert had always wanted to pick on Annalise, and he got his chance again. âAnna, itâs not that I want to criticize you, but youâre not in the countryside anymore. Youâre the Parks familyâs granddaughter-in-
law now. You have to look at the big picture.
âSamuelâs body was in such a state now. It was fine if you want to look at your patient, but why ask Julian to come along? Men had to do big things. It was inappropriate to accompany a woman all day long. âBesides, given Samuelâs situation, shouldnât Julian stay at home and guard him instead?â
âGrandpa is in good health. Gilderoy can accompany him,â Julian said. Albert waved his hand and said, âYes, yes. I canât control you. Do whatever you want. Whatever.â Julian and Annalise left.
He then took the opportunity to say to Cassandra, âLook at this, what is this, man? Heâs a playboy. Ever since. he married this country bumpkin, those two are inseparable. How can he be the leader of the Parks family in the future? *Samuel is also muddle-headed. How could the heir of the family marry someone so casually? Why didnât Julian get a better match? *Someone like Annalise, it was already good enough that she wouldnât be a burden, let alone actually helping out Julian.
âHow can it compare to Jasmine? She comes from a good family and is knowledgeable and politeâ¦â
Cassandra interrupted, âHow long has Anna been married to our family? Anna saved my life, and she saved Samuelâs too. âAs for the fashion sales, the public account she created didnât need any advertising budget at all, yet her sales were much higher than Timothy and Alexander. âHow could someone like her be a burden?
âAlbert, we have to be objective when we speak. We have to use our brains more. We have to see more of the outstanding side of young people. Donât attack them personally just because they are from the countryside. âWe were born in the Parks family, so we were just a little luckier than her. Did you think we were better than her?
âMoreover, she was not actually from the countryside. She was the true heir of the Moonlight Group in Horington. The entire Moonlight Group was founded by her mother. âShe was unlucky enough to have lost her mother at a young age, and she was bullied from young by people who thought like you. âIf her mother had not passed away, it might not have been Julianâs turn to marry her.
âJulian is indeed outstanding and compatible with her. However, there are too many people who canât handle. the Parks familyâs prestige. If her mother was still alive, she might not be willing to let her precious daughter marry the Parks family,â âCassandra, do you have to put it that way?â Albert was unhappy, and it was not good to lock horns with his sister. In the end, he was still interested in the Hiller familyâs help. He always wanted to rope the Hiller family in. However, Cassandra was stubborn and always sided with Samuelâs family.
âThe truth is harsh to the ears!â Cassandra said bluntly. She added, âAt our age, we should worry less and just focus on living a few more years. If you really have to worry, donât worry about the family of others. Worry more about your children and grandchildren instead.â Albert was unhappy. âHow is it someone elseâs family now? We of the Parks family are one family, no?â
âIf we get to the details, you and your grandchildren and their wives can only be called relatives, let alone a grandnephew like Julian.â Christopher was afraid that Albert would quarrel with Cassandra, so he said, âAlright, alright. Let Samuel rest already.â âAlright, Cassandra, you stay for a few more days.
Weâll leave.â Albert said goodbye. When Cassandra saw them leave, she felt that her world had gotten quiet. She then cursed, âMind your own. business.â
