Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Are You a Woman or Not?
Abigail sighed softly and left the café. As she passed by an ATM, she suddenly had a whim and pulled out the black card she’d never used from her handbag. She inserted it to check the balance. In no ti, the screen displayed the card’s balance.
Staring at the numbers trailing behind the 3, Abigail began to count them one by one. After counting, she recounted using her fingers. Finally, she confird that this was indeed a balance in billions.
She swallowed and counted again.
In her previous life, Abigail never lacked money. She was even considered extrely wealthy, but she had never seen a card balance reaching billions.
For a mont, she began to understand why Brandon Piers was willing to spend two billion on a surgical scalpel. After all, that man was likely so rich that he only lacked money.
No wonder so wealthy families would fight to the death over their inheritance. In the face of such imnse interests, who could truly remain free from greed?
...
Abigail considered herself not materialistic or greedy, and her desire for money was quite ta. But even she felt a surge of excitent looking at the balance on this card. What about others?
This was just the dividend from 5% of Piers’ shares. So of it was still operating in the Midsumr Trust fund and used for orphanage funding. If put together, the amount would be even greater. How much more were the shares in the hands of Piers’ leader worth? The power distribution involved must be the most tempting part!
No wonder the branches of Piers fought so fiercely.
Back in the car, Abigail looked at Brandon Piers with mixed feelings.
Brandon turned his head. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” Abigail shook her head.
But Brandon didn’t believe her. He awkwardly glanced at the woman and took out a square water cup from the side, handing it to her. “Here.”
Abigail looked at the black and red liquid in the cup. “Huh?”
Brandon seed annoyed. This woman was so oblivious. He grunted, “Brown sugar water.”
“Brown sugar water?” Abigail beca even more puzzled. Why give her this?
Brandon, holding the cup, finally lost his patience. “Are you even a woman or not?”
“I… I am,” Abigail stamred, looking at the man’s cold, pale skin turning pink. She glanced at the brown sugar water in the cup and suddenly had an epiphany.
“Then drink it,” he demanded.
“But I…” Halfway through her sentence, she saw Brandon’s fierce gaze and hurriedly took the cup, obediently sipping it. She never expected that just going to sign a paper would make this man think she had her period.
It was a bit awkward, but as she drank the warm brown sugar water, her whole body felt warm. Her heart felt soothed too, and the suspicion she had about the man abandoning Ruby Green and choosing her for her shares suddenly vanished.
Although this man exuded an air of aloofness and occasionally his sharp tongue could infuriate people, if it was purely for interest, he would never treat her this way. At least Ruby was an example.
So… because Teddy’s mom was her, even though she was a bit chubby, she was still treated considerately.
Abigail suddenly realized that this man treated his own people very well.
Even Kelly, who was threatened. Not only did he save her family, he also let her stay at Piers’ Mansion in the end.
Sipping another mouthful of brown sugar water, Abigail’s heart felt warm.
Brandon watched the little chubby beside him drink happily. The tension at the corners of his mouth relaxed, but he didn’t know he had just been given a NoThankYou-Card.
After the commotion, Abigail didn’t know how to tell the man about the shares. Up until now, she was still a bit confused.
Then she rembered what Daniel had promised her. She decided to set it aside temporarily. After all, once Lincoln Green went to Midsumr, everyone would know it was just a misunderstanding.
The Taylor mother and daughter would be disappointed!
Right now, more than anything, Abigail wanted to know why the original body knew her mother’s death date, which was different from what Daniel told her.
The difference was nearly three years. Why?
If what Daniel said was true, why would everyone deceive the original body into believing her mother died from childbirth complications? Lincoln Green’s attitude towards the original body over the years was very strange too…
But if Abigail’s mory was correct, who was the woman who entrusted a friend to sign a contract with Midsumr Trust fifteen years ago?
Abigail was confused, gripping her cup. Brandon, seeing it, felt even more that the online comnts were right. Won beca sentintal during their period.
…
At a villa in Gills City.
Pullan’s act completely tore the relationship between Piers and Green families.
Adam Piers was overwheld, his head filled with whys!
“Why? Why?” Adam howled while sitting on the couch. Then he sat up straight and looked at his father. “Dad, what is he doing?”
Mason Piers… MD, who knows!
That kid had beco increasingly strange after the surgical failure. He was unpredictable.
Yet there were no signs of him dying!
“Today, Lincoln Green contacted Midsumr Trust. He’s already scheduled a eting. He might soon get the shares. What does that monster want by falling out with Lincoln now? Or is he creating another diversion?” Adam wailed, turning over the $150 million diamond in his hand.
Seeing it made Mason angry. “Put it aside. Playing with toys will ruin you. If I knew what he wanted, I wouldn’t be sitting here. How’s your investigation on that chubby?”
“Nothing unusual,” Adam said dejectedly.
“Since the shares might belong to Abigail’s mother, didn’t Midsumr Trust contact her?” Mason felt sothing was off.
“No. It doesn’t make sense, but we can’t find anything. Besides, if Lincoln hadn’t contacted Midsumr Trust, they didn’t seem to plan on contacting the Greens either. That Midsumr is really freakin’ mysterious. They say a manager ca to Gills City, but nobody saw them leaving,” Adam found it odd too.
Mason frowned. “Forget it. Keep a close watch on the mother and daughter along with Lincoln. Once Lincoln gets the shares, handle it imdiately.”
“What about Uncle? Aren’t you afraid he’ll intercept midway?” Adam didn’t have a good impression of his uncle either.
“Since we’re cooperating, he has to honor his word.”
Adam scoffed. “Tsk tsk, you’re naive. I heard he’s attacking other minor shareholders.”
“So what? Your uncle is my blood brother. He’s more reliable than that wolf cub!” Mason glared at his son and rebuked, “Keep an eye on this matter. If you ss up again, don’t even think about entering the company. You’ll only embarrass us.”
“Can’t you just let be a dandy? Uncle is so capable. Why not let him fight?” Adam complained, secretly thinking it would be best if Brandon controlled Piers, making the monster earn money for them while everyone else spent it. That would be the best punishnt for him.
Mason was infuriated. “You… you worthless waste!”
“Dad, speak properly. Why insult ?” Adam retorted.
The next mont, Mason raised the feather duster and whipped it down!
“Dad… ouch, be gentle!”
