Chapter 8

No matter what the answer was, Adam had already noticed her!

Molly was stunning. Even if Adam could not marry her, he was fine with fooling around with her!

Walter recomposed himself very quickly. "It's good that you agreed."

He then headed to his study immediately and took out a marriage contract.

"This contract was made by the elderly of our family and the Herring family. As long as you sign this, your engagement with Adam will be revoked!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Molly took the contract and signed her name on it, not even bothering to look at the details.

Every move of hers was quick, and she looked ever so cool while she did it.

Walter was delighted when he took back the contract. "From now onwards, you will have no relationship with the Herring family! I'll use this opportunity to pair Diana and Adam up for marriage..."

He hesitated for a while and told Grandpa Dave, "Also, I've decided to transfer 2% of my shares to Diana as her dowry! Though Diana isn't blood-related to Lara or me, we've still raised her for twenty-over years, so we share a bond. Diana is an obedient child too, and she's been by my side for a long time. Besides, I've made this promise from the start."

Back when they did not know that Diana was not their biological daughter, Walter had already made this promise.

Now that things had changed, he still wanted to keep his word.

Diana was elated, but she still acted pretentious by saying, "Thank you, Dad, Mom! It's only reasonable for me to be obedient to you, so I'm not after your shares... As long as I can continue being your daughter, I can have nothing."

Mr. and Mrs. May were gratified.

Molly watched them with a sneer. 'What a tight bond they share!'

Thud!

Grandpa Dave's expression darkened as he objected immediately, "I object!"

"A person with no blood relation to us has no right to have the May family's shares."

While he was saying this, he stared at Diana coldly with a stony expression.

Lara rebutted, "Dad, it's fine if you don't see Diana as your granddaughter! But we take her as our child! Diana was raised by us, and we have a strong mother-daughter relationship, stronger than you expect... This share is transferred under my name, so I have the right to decide, and I've already made the decision. Don't put the blame on Walter. "

"Y-You..."

Grandpa Dave got so angry that he almost had a heart attack. His hand trembled so much that he could not speak.

Diana was delighted, but she still acted like an obedient child. "Grandpa, though you don't like me, I'll still treat you as my grandfather! I'll still respect and obey you and my parents; Molly too."

"There's no need for that. I don't have a sister," Molly said coldly, and her tone was filled with disdain.

Grandpa Dave was infuriated. "Great, great! Walter and Lara... You've both blatantly broken your real daughter's heart today. Good on you! Since you don't love her, I'll love her as her grandfather..."

Then, Grandpa Dave shouted, "Leonardo, go to my room and get the document in the safe."

Leonardo listened and took the document in a short amount of time.

Grandpa Dave shoved the document to Molly, saying, "Molly, this is twenty percent of my shares. It's all yours. Get a lawyer to settle the transfer when you are free."

Everyone's expression changed immediately after Grandpa Dave said that.

"How is this possible? She's an outsider. What right does she have to take these shares?"

Walter was obviously upset.

Lara was panicking as well. "Dad, don't be foolish! How could this happen?"

'Besides, we still have three sons!

'We are the ones who should have the most shares!

'Molly didn't deserve it!'

Diana's expression was dark as well.

For the past twenty-over years, she had treated this old troll well. But he had been stingy to everyone.

Now, he was actually giving Molly this many shares without any hesitation!

20%!

It was May Group's biggest share!!

Molly was shocked too.

She did not expect Grandpa Dave to make such a decision.

"Grandpa..."

Molly wanted to reject his offer.

If she took over these shares, she might have more troubles in the future. She did not want to have too much involvement with the May family.

"Forget it!"

Grandpa Dave had already made his decision. He stared at Mr. and Mrs. May coldly and told Molly remorselessly, "In the May family, I'll protect you if no one does! These shares belong to me, so I can give them to whoever I want."

He then rolled up his sleeves and walked up the stairs without even waiting for their response.

Molly watched Grandpa Dave leave. Her heart was moved as she knew that Grandpa Dave was supporting her.

He was the only one who was sincere to her in the May family.

Molly had no relationship with Mr. and Mrs. May and Diana, so she could just treat them coldly.

She kept the document with her and said flatly, "Since the contract is revoked, I'll be leaving now."

Molly then turned and was about to leave.

Finally, Walter yelled at her, "Stand right there!"

"Why? Is there anything else?"

Molly looked distant as she asked.

Walter said firmly, "Molly May, you are not a part of the May family. Know your place! You shouldn't take those shares, nor do you have the right to do so! Give that document to me right now!"

He extended his hand, waiting for the document.

Lara nodded as well. "That's right. You can't take it."

Molly laughed!

"Grandpa gave this to me, so why can't I take it? Besides, since you've all decided that I don't belong to the May family, what right do you have to stop me?"

Then, Molly scoffed, stood up straight, and left with pride.
