The scene continued to play on the big screen, but everyone was unable to continue watching. They look at Lucas with eyes full of disbelief. Lucas was drenched in sweat and slumped on the sofa, his face as pale as a sheet, looking terrifying. He suddenly pointed at the big screen and shouted, "This is fake! This is a setup! I've never had a meal with Ethan and Uncle Liam, nor have I ever met Osa. I don't even know him!" Aiden shook his head and said, "You claim not to know him, yet you know his name. You're really something!" Lucas suddenly freezes, a look of despair on his face. Bari said, "I returned to the company this morning and started investigating clues related to President Ning's car accident." "This video was retrieved from the private room of the Drunken Immortal Tower. It records your entire visit from entering to leaving." "There are a few more segments. If you don't believe it, we can play them too." With a bang, Peter kicked the coffee table aside and, with a speed that seemed incongruous with his body, he appeared in front of Lucas in the blink of an eye. He raised his fat hand as big as a cattail leaf fan and slapped Lucas's face wildly! Upon receiving the phone call, their eldest aunt, second aunt, as well as Alan and Noah's wives, along with a group of women, rushed over with great momentum and was prepared to cause a scene. But when they saw the situation, they were all stunned! And when they saw what was playing on the big screen, their jaws almost dropped! Peter's eyes were red, and he slapped Lucas's face while scolding him, "She's the second brother's daughter! You used to hug her when she was little! She's your own niece! What are you doing?! What are you doing?! What are you doing?!" Among the four brothers, the eldest was actually the most kind-hearted, with a strong sense of family values. When the second brother distributed the shares back then, he was afraid that it would lead to discord among the brothers in the future, so he did not join the company. Now, seeing his own brother do something so heartless, he couldn't bear it anymore and directly went up to beat him up! As the eldest brother acting like a father figure in the family, it wasn't just talk. Their father passed away after his fourth son was born. So, the slap from the eldest brother was definitely a childhood trauma for the three brothers! Lucas never expected that at the age of fifty, he would be slapped in the face by his eldest brother like this! And the fact that his sixty-year-old eldest brother still had such agility, allowing him to once again experience that terrifying childhood shadow... As Lucas screamed in agony, his second and fourth aunts rushed up and pulled Peter's arms to separate them. The fourth aunt cried out to Peter, "Stop hitting him! Do you want to kill him?!" Peter was also tired, he was standing aside panting heavily. The second aunt looked at the fourth aunt gratefully. Among the sisters-in-law, she was the softest-hearted towards the fourth brother's family, knowing when to lend a hand... Could she be having an affair with the head of the family? The fourth aunt reached out and viciously scratched Lucas's swollen face, she continuing to cry out, "If you kill him, how am I supposed to avenge against the head of the family!" "You bastard! You even betrayed your own brothers, are you still human..." "Shut up, all of you!" The old lady shouted. Unfortunately, she was too weak and lacking the majesty she once had. Her shout was as feeble as a mosquito's hum, and no one heard her. Aiden angrily shouted, "Shut up!" and then he slapped the coffee table. With a loud crash, the marble tabletop broke in two! That was embarrassing! Wasn't this table supposed to be sturdy? However, the effect was good. The living room instantly fell silent and everyone froze in their previous actions, but all turned their heads to look at Aiden in shock. Peter looked at the broken table, then at his own hands with an envious expression. He sighed then sat back on the sofa. Alan and Noah looked at Aiden as if he were a monster! If this guy decided to slap someone in a bad mood, would the person be crushed? Aiden deliberately avoided looking at the furious eyes of Abigale, the urned his head to the old lady and said, "Grandma, please speak." The old lady reached out and held his hand, trying to raise her voice as she said, "The last thing is that I am transferring my two shares of stock in the company to my grandson-in-law, Aiden, for free!" This statement was like a bomb, exploding in the living room! "Why? Grandma, why would you do this? These shares were left to you by second brother. Why would you give them to an outsider?" "Exactly, even if you don't want them, you could have given them to me! Why give them to him? He's not even from our family!” "Mom, as your eldest daughter-in-law, I shouldn't speak out, but what you're doing is really going too far." "Even if you don't want them, giving these shares to my sister and her future children would be much better than giving them directly to him!" Second sister-in-law's face twisted in anger as she stared at the old lady and said, "Mother-in-law, if you do this, I won't accept it!" "The whole family has worked hard for the company for so many years, and in the end, we get nothing?" "Second brother indeed did something wrong, but why should your two grandsons and granddaughter suffer for it?" "Why not leave something for them instead of giving to an outsider?" Fourth sister-in-law also slapped her thigh and cried, "My husband was deceived! He wouldn't dare to do anything to Abigale! Now you're kicking us all out, are you leaving us any way to survive?" Abigale's face darkened, she snorted and said to Bari, "Bari, fast forward to let them see Gina's investigation!" Bari used the remote control to fast forward the footage, and pictures appeared. Abigale said expressionlessly, "Uncle, you have a total of four million dollars deposited in four banks outside the city, and two houses in Kyoto, all using the company's money, right?" "Sister-in-law, Fourth uncle has a total of six million dollars deposited abroad. You must be aware of this, right?" Lucas and second sister-in-law's family all changed their faces, sweat appeared on fourth sister-in-law's forehead. Rinta and Betty looked at their mother with incredulous eyes. Abigale said, "In fact, I knew two years ago that the accounts of your two families were not right!" "But I thought we were all family, as long as you didn't go too far, I could turn a blind eye to it and let the company continue." "But your appetites have grown bigger and more selfish, pushing all the blame onto me, even trying everything to drive me away!" "Second uncle, how can I tolerate you?" Peter stood up again, he was glaring and about to rush towards Lucas, who was covering his face and about to run, but Sean held him back. Realizing that he had been defeated, Lucas sighed deeply and looked up at Abigale, "Abigale, I admit defeat!" "Right or wrong, we're here now." "If you want to get that money back, you can get it back twenty years later, before you die! I was originally going to save it for my grandson's wedding! I believe the same goes to Sam!" "So now you want to divide the family, but the big hole in the company will only get bigger. You can't fill it up. The company will only collapse!" "Only by reluctantly maintaining the current situation do you have a chance to turn things around. So you still need us to maintain the existence of the company, right?" Abigale's expression changed. This was the most embarrassing part for her right now. On the side, Aiden smiled slightly and said to Lucas, "You don't need to worry about this, uncle. I can fill this big hole!" "You? Hahaha!" Lucas looked at Aiden with disdain, he burst into laughter and then winced from the pain. He covered his face with a cool breath. Then he scolded Aiden, "Do you really think you're a god? You're just our family's son-in-law!" "You come from the Green Mountain, you're just a penniless mountain bumpkin!" "What do you have to fill it with?" "Stones and rocks?" "Do you think you're a god?" Aiden took out a check, he shook it and said to Abigale, "Ten million. Is that enough? If it's not enough, I'll go borrow more tomorrow!"
