Chapter 418 - 417: Old Bitch
Chapter 418: Chapter 417: Old Bitch
South Grant finished speaking and looked at Joy Clayton with a smile.
"Grandma, don’t you think so?"
Although Joy Clayton was still smiling, her smile was clearly a bit stiff.
"That’s right, people should be consistent inside and out." Joy Clayton maintained her poise as she spoke.
Rhiannon Grant watched from behind, thinking how similar South Grant was to their elder brother.
When they speak, they have a hidden edge, skillfully insulting people.
At this moment, Rhiannon Grant also came over, smiling as she took South Grant’s hand.
"South, your dad says this for your own good. Come on, Auntie will take you over there."
Saying so, Rhiannon Grant pulled South Grant away, avoiding such a tense confrontation.
South Grant is someone who distinguishes clearly between gratitude and resentment. So far, Rhiannon Grant hadn’t done anything to hurt her, so even if South Grant didn’t like her, she wouldn’t lash out at her for no reason.
Meanwhile, Shawn Grant was glared at by Joy Clayton, who then called him over in a low voice:
"You come with me!"
South Grant watched Shawn Grant being called over by Joy Clayton, then after a while, she said to Rhiannon Grant:
"Auntie, you sit here first, I’ll go to the restroom."
After South Grant finished speaking, she headed in the direction of the restroom. As she got close to the restroom, she took a turn and went to Shawn Grant and Joy Clayton’s room instead.
When she arrived, she heard Joy Clayton scolding Shawn Grant.
"Number three, with your brain, you want to go against your second brother? You don’t even know you’re being used as a tool. Do you know the reason your second brother fights for this inheritance? Isn’t it for you brothers? Do you know that as soon as South Grant graduates and wants to claim the inheritance, even your father can’t stop it? The shares in your hands, and the ones your second brother holds, all have to go back to South Grant. This was your father’s promise back then, and that old lawyer from The Ellison Group holds the contract your father signed, naming South Grant as the sole heir. You’re fighting tooth and nail in front of South Grant, only to make a wedding dress for others!"
South Grant didn’t know there was such a contract, but was unaware of the lawyer’s whereabouts now.
Ian Grant couldn’t tell South Grant anything before he passed away, so South Grant knew very little about The Grant Family’s affairs.
Later, I’ll ask Nathan Foster to help investigate the lawyer and the contract.
Shawn Grant also heard about this for the first time, and he asked in confusion, "Why did Father sign such a contract? The Grant Group, the children of The Grant Family all have the right to inherit it. Why should it only be Ian Grant and his children!"
Joy Clayton spoke with a somber look, then said coldly:
"Back then, it wasn’t Grant Group, it was Stellaris, your father’s company. When your father married Ian Grant’s mother, after Old Master Ellison died, when your father wanted to change the name, those shareholders who sided with Old Master Ellison forced your father to sign a contract allowing only the children born to Claire Ellison to take over the company."
Shawn Grant knew Grant Group was renamed from Stellaris, but he didn’t know about the contract signing.
"South Grant doesn’t know about this, and she’s already given me her shares. She’s not interested in the company."
"Foolish!" Joy Clayton scolded Shawn Grant, looking at him with an expression of disappointment, "She’s not interested, yet she joined the entertainment industry? Of all the industries, she picked this one, solely to start from Stellaris and slowly devour the Grant Group!"
South Grant listened from outside, cursing in her heart at the old bitch.
