Then she saw someone rushing to the road behind the car.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey let out a scream.<\/p>\n<p>Harold looked at her in surprise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s the matter?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey gestured him to look back.<\/p>\n<p>Harold followed her gaze and looked through the window. He saw Toby, who had run to the side of the road.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who is that man?&#8221; Harold did not recognize Toby.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our biological father.&#8221; Audrey replied indifferently.<\/p>\n<p>Harold&#8217;s expression changed slightly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is our father?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Biologically&#8230; Yes.&#8221; Audrey teased him, &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harold rolled his eyes at her, &#8220;It&#8217;s been so many years. He has never contacted me. He didn&#8217;t even turn to relevant departments and leave a blood sample for a DNA test. Do you think he cares about me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most people in this country value men more than women. It&#8217;s in their bones. A father cares about his son.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright, dear sister. That&#8217;s enough. I think you are my only family!&#8221; Harold said firmly.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey gently held Harold&#8217;s hand, &#8220;Alright.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Her phone rang.<\/p>\n<p>She immediately released his hand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh! It&#8217;s your brother-in-law!&#8221; Audrey quickly pressed the answer button, &#8220;Bryson!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harold was a bit upset.<\/p>\n<p>His sister threw his hand away as soon as she got her husband&#8217;s call.<\/p>\n<p>He could hear Audrey and Bryson&#8217;s intimate conversation clearly.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson asked, &#8220;Where are you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey replied, &#8220;We have just left the restaurant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Have you eaten your meal yet?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes. I also ordered some food for you. Have you received it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes. I knew it was you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No matter how busy you are, you have to eat your meal. OK?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will eat the food no matter how much work is waiting for me. Otherwise, I will feel sorry for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harold couldn&#8217;t stand anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Could you stop it? Your sweet chat was torture to a single man.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have said before that I will give Wendy two villas and some shares as dowry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know.&#8221; Zoe started to talk about the major topic, &#8220;I heard that you have been keeping Audrey&#8217;s shares for her. And you will give them to her when she gets twenty-four. It will be Audrey&#8217;s twenty-fourth birthday in half a month, but she has not shown up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wendy is also your daughter. What about her? She is qualified to get a share of the inheritance. My parents-in-law didn&#8217;t like me. It&#8217;s fine. But Wendy was innocent. Your father only left shares for Audrey. She still hasn&#8217;t shown up. She must have given up the shares. I want to ask for the ten percent of shares for Wendy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wendy saw Toby frown. She immediately came up with an idea and pulled Zoe&#8217;s arm, saying softly, &#8220;Mom, Grandpa left the shares for my sister. I can&#8217;t take it. No matter what happens after I marry Julian, I have to solve it on my own. I can&#8217;t steal my sister&#8217;s shares just because I&#8217;m afraid of being looked down upon. If I take it, how can I explain it to my sister? She doesn&#8217;t like me. If I take her shares, she will hate me. I can&#8217;t do it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hearing that, Toby&#8217;s expression became even more gloomy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright, Wendy. I will transfer all of Audrey&#8217;s shares to you after fifteen days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dad, no. It is my sister&#8217;s shares. Grandpa left it to my sister. How can I take it?&#8221; Wendy shook her head in panic, &#8220;Besides, Audrey may blame you for this. I can&#8217;t accept it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Toby looked firmly at Wendy, &#8220;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&#8217;t have any reason to make light of you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wendy was moved and looked at Toby teary-eyed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dad!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You are a good child. You are kind-hearted and always think about your sister. Audrey doesn&#8217;t have such a kind heart as yours. I know you deserve the ten percent of shares.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you. Dad!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tears rolled down her cheeks. Wendy was extremely excited.<\/p>\n<p>Toby was so easy to influence. Now the shares would be hers.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey, did you see it? I had taken your everything. Your fianc\u00e9, your father, your home. And finally&#8230; Your shares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3580","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
