Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1077: You have the nerve to be picky

Lily Jones continued to sneer,

"I was wondering why that ’Fox Spirit’ didn’t tell me you were my mom. Seems like she was covering up for our grandmother’s actions back then. Good thing I found out."

In Lily’s self-satisfied tone, there was a hint of pride along the lines of "I’m so clever."

To Qin Shuyi and Sophia Green, this "pride" affirmed even more that Lily Jones was an easy-to-fool simpleton.

Qin Shuyi and Sophia Green exchanged yet another imperceptible glance before Qin Shuyi took Lily Jones’s hand and said,

"Okay, Lily, don’t be angry anymore. That I was able to be recognized by you in my lifetime makes me more than content. As for the past..."

Mid-sentence, Qin Shuyi choked up again, "What I endured back then, I don’t want to dwell on it at all."

Ha! As if you have the right to dwell on it!

Lily Jones rolled her eyes so hard, they nearly reached the back of her head.

"Mom..."

Lily Jones’s eyes brimmed with tears, her face a mix of heartache for Qin Shuyi and sympathy for Qin Shuyi’s grievances.

After a round of "tearful" reunion between mother and daughter, Lily Jones heard Qin Shuyi say,

"Lily, do you know? Your brother gave all his assets to Elly Campbell."

The shock in Lily Jones’s eyes was unabashed.

"Are you serious?"

No wonder Elly Campbell could so rightfully overpower so many Jones shareholders when my brother got into trouble.

My brother had 50% of the shares back then, and just by getting those, Elly Campbell would have had free rein over the Jones corporation. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Although I have a 10% share, my complete lack of business acumen meant I never really got involved in the running of Jones Inc., hardly ever even attending shareholder meetings.

Plus, during the time my brother was in trouble, I happened to be ill and at odds with Elly Campbell, making me even less likely to intervene in Jones affairs.

So, my brother gave his assets to Elly Campbell before the trouble began?

For some reason, Lily Jones felt a sense of relief upon hearing this decision her brother had made.

Otherwise, if Elly Campbell had nothing, what would she use to stabilize Jones Inc.?

Chances are Jones Inc. would have changed to the Gresia Family’s name long ago.

Seeing Lily Jones’s fluctuating expressions, Qin Shuyi thought she was displeased with the news.

Given how bad Lily’s relationship was with Elly Campbell, how could she possibly wish for all her brother’s possessions to go to Elly Campbell?

"Of course, it’s true. Elly Campbell told me herself not long after your brother’s incident."

Qin Shuyi held on to her frustration.

She wondered if that unfilial son was under Elly Campbell’s spell—to give away assets worth hundreds of billions just like that.

Wouldn’t the old man of the Jones family say anything?

Qin Shuyi was infuriated just thinking about it, but in front of Lily Jones, she was forced to suppress her resentment.

She continued to Lily Jones,

"She even said that if your brother couldn’t be found in a few months, she’d have the right to sell off Jones shares, take your brother’s fortune, and marry another man.

As for the future of Jones Inc., she couldn’t care less."

Lily Jones’s brows furrowed again, as her gaze settled on Qin Shuyi’s face with a mix of skepticism and belief.

"Did Elly Campbell really say that?"

"Of course, would your mom lie to you?"

Qin Shuyi nodded immediately, worried that Lily Jones might suspect her of ulterior motives, and quickly added,

"Lily, mom is worried that your brother has been deceived by that woman. If Elly Campbell really takes off with his fortune one day, your brother will be left with nothing."
