In the Munn's villa, Wendy and her mother Zoe were sitting in the living room, eating iced watermelon,

when Toby walked in with a bouquet of carnations.

Wendy saw her father and shouted happily, "Dad, you're back. We're eating watermelons. Come and

join us."

Toby was completely stunned and didn't pay any attention to Wendy.

Zoe glanced at Toby and suddenly frowned.

"Toby, where did you get these carnations?"

Toby lowered his head to look at the bouquet in his hand and casually replied, "I went to Mom's

cemetery this morning."

Hearing that Toby had gone to pay respects to Madam Cordova, Zoe's face turned ugly.

Madam Cordova had prevented Toby from marrying her in all sorts of ways. Anyway in the end, Toby

married her without letting his mother know.

However, even though she had become Toby's legal wife, Madam Cordova still refused to acknowledge

her as daughter-in-law and was unwilling to let her live in the Munns' old house. So she had to live in

the villa outside with Toby.

They lived separately. Every time she met Madam Cordova at a banquet, Madam Cordova always

ridiculed her and humiliated her in public. Therefore, Zoe and Madam Cordova had not been getting

along well with each other.

Even when a few days before Madam Cordova died, Madam Cordova still accused her in public of

being a mistress who had stepped into the marriage of others.

Therefore, after the death of Madam Cordova, Zoe rarely went to pay respects to Madam Cordova.

Toby didn't force her to do it and went alone most of the times.

Zoe looked at the unlucky flowers in Toby's hands and said, "Didn't you go to pay respects to her? Why

did you bring the flowers home?"

With Zoe's reminder, Toby woke up suddenly.

He went to pay respects to his mother. Why did he bring the flowers to his house?

He only remembered that after he went to the cemetery and learned that Quentin had been there, he

frantically asked people to check the monitor. However, it only showed side face of a young man which

looked like Quentin much.

Later, he went to the related department and checked the residents list of Peace City. But he did not

find the name of Quentin Munn.

He had no time to go back to the cemetery and present the flowers in his hands to his mother's

tombstone. So he brought them home.

"Some things have delayed me!" With that, Toby directly threw the flowers into the trash can next to

him, and turned around to go upstairs.

Zoe quickly stopped him. "Wait a moment, Toby. We're eating watermelons. Why don't you come to eat

with us?"

"You guys eat. I'm a little tired. I'll go up and rest first."

With that, he went upstairs directly.

Zoe looked at Toby's back in confusion, feeling that Toby's behavior today was very abnormal.

Wendy looked in the direction Toby had left, puzzled. "Mom, what happened to Dad today?"

"How would I know? Forget about him. Let us eat."

Wendy picked up a piece of watermelon and was about to stuff it into her mouth when she thought up

something. She put it down again, moved to Zoe's side and held her arm.

"Mom!"

"What's up?"

Wendy had a shrewd look in her eyes. "Mom, in grandpa's will, he left ten percent of the company's

shares to Audrey. He said that Audrey would inherit it on her twenty-fourth birthday. Audrey was

already twenty-four years old this year, but she never showed up. It can be considered that she gave

up the ten percent shares. I have already left the entertainment circle and have no income. With the ten

percent shares, I would be able to strengthen my status when I marry Julian in the future. So, can you

talk with dad about it?

Zoe sneered, "Don't worry. Her birthday is coming in half a month. As long as she doesn't appear

before then, the ten percent shares will be yours."

"Great, thank you, Mom!" Wendy happily pressed her face against Zoe's arm.

Wendy sneered inwardly.

Mr. Munn didn't treat people equally. She was his granddaughter, too. Before he died, he left 10

percent shares for Audrey and 15 percent for Quentin. But he left nothing for her.

Fortunately, she had removed Audrey and Quentin, the two stumbling blocks in advance. Otherwise,

how could she have a share of the Munn Group?

Mr. Munn had given Toby the 15 percent shares of Quentin for temporary keeping, but didn't allow him

to transfer it to anyone else. However, with Audrey's 10 percent shares, she could keep her status in

the Shaws.

These days were her lucky days.

The most disgusting Stanton Group had fallen, and Blair was sentenced to fifty years imprisonment.

Her wedding with Julian would also be put on the agenda, and she would soon get ten percent of the

Munns' shares.

After she married Julian, she would be the Young Madam of the Shaws, one of the four big families in

Peace City. At the same time, she would have ten percent shares of her family business. Who in the

Shaws would dare to look down on her? Who in Peace City would dare to denounce her?

...

At noon, Audrey just walked out of the large building where the Law firm was located when a person

suddenly blocked her way.

"Angel!" Carley called out happily.

Audrey raised his eyebrows slightly.

"So it's Mr. Zouch!" Within this half month, Carley won another lawsuit. "What brings you here?"

"I wanted to appreciate you, Angel. However, my internship salary was too low for me to buy anything

decent. I was just paid last month's salary." Carley blushed and handed over the paper bag to her. "I

heard that you like strawberry mousse cake. I bought it especially for you."

Audrey smiled and took the cake that Carley handed over.

"It's nice of you."

"It is my honor!" Carley sincerely appreciated Audrey. "Angel, thank you very much. Without you, I

would have failed the first time when I went to court alone."

"You need not to thank me. You should owe your success to your own capability. I really didn't help you

much."

"Anyway, thanks for your guidance. I have to express my appreciation."

"Stop expressing your appreciation. One day, the two of us might meet in court."

Carley smiled, "I look forward to that day."

...

After Audrey sat in her seat, she started flipping through the news today.

She caught sight of the keywords, 'the Cordova Group'.

It was a news about the Blue River Bay, a project in charge of the Cordova Group subsidiary. A nail

house was unwilling to move out of his house. He took his daughter to live in a dangerous house

together.

Audrey frowned as she read the news.

In real life, there were many nail households like this, who dissatisfied at the compensation. They

demanded an exorbitant price, causing the project to stagnate.

She had to visit a client in the afternoon. So after reading some news for a while, she went out with her

client's information.

Her client's company was not far from the Blue River Bay project. When the car passed the

construction site, she subconsciously took a glanced.

What surprised her was that the house of the nail house had been razed to the ground.

She thought that, the compensation demand of the nail house must have been met.
