Chapter 392: Can Relationship Be Measured in Terms of Money

Five percent of the shares in the Gale Group? How much did it worth?

Emily had no idea.

She blinked at Patriarch Gale, “How much does it worth?”

Milo was in a bit of a dilemma. Although he liked Emily very much, what Patriarch Gale said was still unbelievable to him.

Five percent of the shares! Isn’t that the same as the young master and his two daughters?

Was Patriarch Gale crazy?

If these words were to spread out, then people the Gale family would definitely go nuts.

After all, Emily was only the daughter of Wendy’s foster parents, not his real granddaughter.

However, he answered seriously, “According to the current stock price of the company, it should worth about fifty billion.”

“Fifty billion?” Emily almost fainted.

It was terrifying to think about this much money, let alone actually possessing it.

“Grandpa, don’t joke with me. You really surprised me.” She put a hand on her chest.

“I wasn’t joking.”

He was being impulsive when he said those words.

But now, for some reason, he had made the decision.

He really wanted to give Emi the shares.

Patriarch Gale did not believe in any religion, but he did believe in fate.

He and Emi were linked by ties of fate!

Wendy was clearly his biological granddaughter. He took her to do the DNA test.

However, he couldn’t fool himself. For Wendy, it was more guilt than love.

But for Emi, it was absolute love!

After returning to City L, he couldn’t stop thinking about her, and wanted to see her every day.

Milo knew about this, because they had already bought next week’s plane tickets to Bentson City.

Emily couldn’t attend the banquet. Patriarch Gale planned a surprise visit.

However, she came.

“Emi, if you promise to live here and stay by my side forever, I will transfer the shares to you right now!”

There was no need to wait until next week. He would go to the company and talk to the lawyer now!

Emily exhaled and finally realized that he was serious.

She smiled, “Grandpa, do you think the relationship between you and me can be measured in terms of money?”

“Emi...” Patriarch Gale was a little panicked.

He didn’t want to buy her love. He just really wanted her to stay.

“If I really stay by your side for that fifty billion, then do you think our relationship would stay the same?”

Patriarch Gale didn’t say anything, but felt bitter

“Alright, let’s not talk about money anymore. It made me feel uneasy.”

Emily looked at the lake in front of her and sighed.

“Your house is really beautiful …”

The breeze brought ripples to the lake and the scene was picturesque.

“In the past, there was also a lake like this in the Jackson’s. Matriarch Jackson often asked the maid to push her wheelchair around the lake.”

She walked towards the lake. Her slender figure went further away.

Patriarch Gale only looked at her back, gloomy and lost in thought.

“Are you really going to transfer the shares to Miss Wendy next week?” Milo stood beside him and looked at Emily who was walking in front of them.

Patriarch Gale nodded, “It was Harley's. So, rightfully, it should be hers.”

He originally wanted Harley to have that ten percent.

However, at that time, they had a dispute because he was opposed to Harley being with Talia, who came from a normal family. So the transfer of shares was delayed.

Now that he needed to transfer the shares directly to Harley’s daughter.

“Saywer …”

Milo wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to put it.

“You have been with me for so many years. Go ahead if you have something to say.” Patriarch Gale glared at him.

Milo sighed silently.

If it was about something else, he could say it without hesitation, but it was about Wendy.

He knew how Patriarch Gale felt about Wendy. No matter what, Patriarch Gale would always feel guilty for her.

There were a lot he wanted to say, but he found it unnecessary.

However, if he held it in, his heart wouldn’t be at ease. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Finally, Milo chose to say it, “I have sent people to investigate the three accidents that Miss Wendy had.”

“I couldn’t find any useful information at all. Miss Wendy refused to tell us where the accident happened, just like this time.”

“I found out all the places she went to today and had checked the traffic monitors. There was indeed a traffic accident, but the victim died and it has been recorded on files.”

“There is no information about Miss Wendy at the scene, and there is no record of her from the surveillance cameras.”

Patriarch Gale knew what he meant.

They heard everything about the accidents from Wendy and Kate.

Wendy didn’t let them investigate, nor did she cooperate. She even refused to tell them where the accidents happened.

Before today, Patriarch Gale still had a little hope.

However, after Wendy brought up the shares today, how could he not know what she was up to?

“If all the accidents were made up by Miss Wendy …”

“So what?” Patriarch Gale seemed to have aged quite a bit recently.

The wind blew on him, and it made him look debilitated.

Milo felt a little sad for him.

It should have been a good thing for Patriarch Gale to finally find his granddaughter.

His life should have been completed.

However, he didn’t look happy at all.

Wendy's arrival had brought arguments and estrangements to this family.

Joy had been wiped out from this family.

Patriarch Gale sighed, “What she wanted belonged to Harley. She was Harley’s only child, so it was reasonable to give it to her.”

Actually, even if Wendy didn’t say anything, he would still give her those shares after she graduated.

“Milo, stop thinking about it. It’s hers anyway, isn’t it?”

Patriarch Gale gathered his thoughts and walked towards Emily.

Milo followed behind him, but his steps were a little heavy.

Unlike Patriarch Gale, Milo didn’t have much feeling towards Wendy.

As an outsider, he didn’t find Wendy's return necessarily good for the family.

How often she had accused others of hurting her and made up stories just to get the shares from Patriarch Gale?

It wasn’t that Patriarch Gale was in the dark. He knew, all along. He had no alternative.

After all, he owed her.

He only hoped that she could stop acting like that after getting the shares.

The family needed some old days joy back.

Patriarch Gale was old now. He should be able to enjoy some family time in his last years.

Hopefully, Wendy could feel Patriarch Gale’s love for her, and show him some sincerity.
