Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master! Chapter 422: What Does the Abbott Family Have to Do With Me?

Benson Abbott is actually using Old Master Abbott as an excuse.

Aurora Sutton doesn’t fall for it; she just smirks and says, "My grandfather is Shaun Kensington."

Benson Abbott disagrees, saying, "He’s your maternal grandfather. My father is your paternal grandfather."

"What era are we in where you’re still fussing over these titles?" Thea Shaw scoffs, "Whether it’s grandfather or maternal grandfather depends on the mood. What’s Uncle Abbott making such a fuss about? No matter how clear you make it, Aurora will still sue you. If you really feel guilty towards Aurora, why haven’t you returned her shares to her?"

"Those were her mother’s inheritance anyway, and according to reason, Aurora should have a share. If you don’t give it to her, you can hardly call yourself a father."

Benson Abbott imdiately chuckles bitterly, "It’s not that I won’t give it!"

Apparently, he had found an excuse before coming here, and his response is quite smooth now: "Aurora, so much money has passed over ti, and those shares your mom left behind were divided into several parts long ago. Even if I sort out the docunts and hand them over, it’ll take so ti. Give so ti, and by then, not only your share, but I’ll transfer the share your mother left for to you too, okay?"

"Ha!" Aurora Sutton laughs, "Then why did you refuse to hand over the shares when my grandfather asked you to? That was originally the Kensington family’s property; what right do you have to keep it? Since you took what’s my mom’s and still want to forgive you, fine then! I want half of the company shares of the Abbott family and half of your assets!"

Wanting half is just a right, after all, he has a wife and children on his side; it’s definitely unrealistic to get everything.

Benson Abbott has considerable shares and assets, even when the Abbott family withdrew from the country years ago, their wealth is beyond what typical wealthy families can imagine.

At this mont, Benson Abbott’s face stiffens with tension.

Aurora Sutton is making a bold demand, so should he give it or not?

Not giving ans a court battle is already imminent.

But if he agrees, what if Aurora Sutton still goes back on her word?

Benson Abbott might be foolish but he’s not stupid. Seeing Aurora Sutton look at him like an enemy, he wouldn’t have co at all if not persuaded by Old Master Abbott.

"n, they’re all like this," Thea Shaw sighs from the side, adding fuel to the fire: "As soon as it’s about assets, their expressions change. They claim to be a father and to compensate their daughter whom they haven’t seen in years, yet they’re unwilling to part with a di—this is the father’s love!"

"..."

What nonsense! Is that called a little money?!

That’s Benson Abbott’s livelihood!

Seeing this, Aurora Sutton continues to provoke, "Whether you agree or not is up to you. If you don’t agree, you also have to consider your daughter on that side, right? If it goes to court, to be fair, I’ll apply for a public trial."

Benson Abbott’s face turns even greener.

A public trial is a current thod where the whole proceedings can be recorded by external forces, like dia.

Except for hiding information of the party unwilling to appear, everything else will be public.

But for a family like Abbott, if the trial is public and the issues involved are so unpleasant,

The reputation of the Abbott family is bound to suffer.

Shirley Abbott, who is still in the entertainnt industry, will have her career destroyed even before it begins.

Benson Abbott can’t hold back anymore. He points at Aurora Sutton, angrily questioning, "Don’t you even consider the feelings of the Abbott family? You’re still part of the Abbott family anyway!"

"Nonsense!" Aurora Sutton retorts, "My surna is Sutton, and my grandfather is Shaun Kensington. What connection do I have with the Abbott family?"
