?Chapter 467: Hilton.
He stood up with a jolt and mmed his hand against the table, his voice booming across the room.
Mr.
Brooks, Ive treated you with the respect of an inw, but isnt this treatment a bit dismissive of the Hilton family? Yes, our fortunes have waned and bankruptcy has beset us, but our roots remain deep and strong! Wasnt making such an unfair announcement about wealth allocation at the engagement banquet just a public slight to our family? Do you mean to suggest that having Ang marry Wade somehow makes you reluctant to share your wealth with us? With Rond speaking up, Lillie straightened h
er posture.
She remembered before her father-inw passed away, he had mentioned in a letter an old battle buddy who owed a debt to the Hilton family.
They could seek this mans assistance if they ever found themselves in dire straits.
During their financial ruin, Rond had considered contacting this man, but he worried that his checkered past woulde to light and ruin any chance of receiving aid.
Instead, he chose to bear the burden silently.
And his decision was justified.
Shortly after the Hilton familys downfall, help arrived through an intermediary who delivered a modest sum, enabling Rond to start a small business.
Though Rond had little interest in rejoining the business world, this financial support afforded him afortable existence.
Ang, unaware of these details, always thought her own shrewdness had guaranteed her independence.
Confronted with Ronds forceful charges, Sauls confidence wavered.
Pausing, he defended himself.
Its not about being unjust.
Check exclusive content gα?ησν?????s Brooks Entertainment, one of the Brooks Groups top-earning divisions, has been fully transferred to Wade, giving himplete control.
This transfer is effectively worth around 20% of the entire Brooks Groups shares.
Saul certainly felt the need to be cautious around Ang, yet he couldnt bear to see his son Wade suffer.
Still, Wades struggle to maintain his poise deeply disappointed him.
It seemed his decision on the inheritance was justified.
If Wade ever got his hands on the corporation, the Brooks Group could crumble to pieces before anyone could stop it.
The stage buzzed with tension as members of the Brooks and Hilton families stood firm, neither side ready to yield an inch.
While Wade had almoste to terms with Sauls reasoning, Rond stirred the pot again by iming the shares were far from a fair 80-20 division.
The atmosphere turned even more tumultuous.
On the sidelines, Harlee and Rhys, who were meant to be mere witnesses, shared a look and discreetly moved to a corner.
Resting her head on Rhys shoulder, Harlee whispered, This is starting to drag.
ncing down at her, Rhys arched an eyebrow.
How about we get some air? They exchanged a conspiratorial grin and then stealthily retreated to the secluded garden behind the hotel.
Lindsay had been monitoring their every move and wasted no time alerting Ang with a quick text before tailing them.
Lindsay was determined not to let the drug she had slipped into Harlees drink be a bridge for Harlee and Rhys to bond over.
Suddenly, Patrick forced Lindsay back down into her chair.
Miss Morgan, please remain seated.
Mr.
Green and Miss Sanderson are dating.
Dont go making things awkward by tagging along.
Lindsay shot Patrick a venomous look.
