Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Walter and Lara’s faces turned sour at that moment. Walter asked in a deep voice, “That d*mn girl still holding on to it?”

“Yeah, it’s a large fortune after all. Any sane person wouldn’t give it up easily,” Nathan answered in the same manner. He thought, ‘Besides, Grandpa Dave seemed to be upset at what had happened today. I’m afraid he’d be more inclined to stand on Molly’s side.’

Lara gritted her teeth and said angrily, “I don’t know what that b*tch did to your grandfather to win his support. Perhaps your grandfather has become a fool as he aged! “He doesn’t care about his three grandchildren and would rather be close to a country bumpkin whom he just met.

“Did you see the vile smirk on her face when that old man gave her the shares?! She looked exactly like her family when they were asking for money!” Lara facepalmed as she spoke. She was getting dizzy from the anger, so she fell a few steps back and plopped on the couch before she brushed her chest for relief.

Diana walked up to Lara, pretending to be a caring daughter. She held Lara’s arm, and they sat down together. “Mom, you’re unwell. Calm down. You don’t want to put your health at risk,” she tried to comfort Lara. “Chill, Nathan. Molly lived a tough life all this while, and it wasn’t easy for her to finally live comfortably. Of course she would refuse to let go of the shares. We shouldn’t blame her for this. In fact, I should be the one to blame. If we weren’t swapped at birth, there wouldn’t be so much trouble now.”

Diana put up a guilty expression.

Lara was not having it when she saw Diana blaming herself! She immediately grabbed Diana’s hand and showed her disapproval. “Silly girl, how could we blame you? I could only wish you were my blood daughter.” Lara then pulled Diana into her embrace while lamenting. It was as if they shared a tight mother-and-daughter bond. 2 Walter said to Nathan, “We both know exactly the kind of person Molly is. She only has her eyes set on the benefits one could bring her instead of her family. She can never have those shares. They belong to us, the May family, and they can never be given to an outsider like her. Worse comes to worst, just give her some money. Talk with her when you’re free. If your grandfather assigns a lawyer to deal with the procedures, just stop it at all costs!”

To them, Molly had already been regarded as an outsider for a long time.

Nathan nodded. “That’s the only option left.” He then changed the subject and looked at Diana as he said, “You’ve already settled your engagement with Adam, right? When is the wedding? Did you discuss the details with him yet? How did the Herrings react?”

“Not yet. After all, this is a big deal for me. So, I want you, dad, and mom to meet the Herrings with me. Is that okay?” Diana acted like a demure lady. While she was speaking anxiously, she was careful with her words.

The reason was that Adam had been indifferent toward her ever since he met Molly again. Diana sensed his change of attitude, so she had been pondering about this matter for the past 1 2′′YE few days. She was worried that things might take a turn for her if she let it sit. Because of that, she had made several visits to the May family to find the right chance to discuss this with them.

“No problem.” Nathan was not suspicious of her and agreed without hesitation.

Though Diana was not his blood sister, they had grown up together, which was why they still shared some bond with each other.

Nathan obviously hoped Diana could be happily married as well.

“Arrange a date, and we’ll all go together. Too many bad things happened in this family recently, making us all low in spirits. It’s about time for some good news to lighten things up, ” Lara said as she patted Diana’s hand.
