She hated the Lewises.
Everything belonging to the Lewises should have been hers, but Hera and her family snatched it away. She did note today to attend the funeral but to humiliate the Tembys and vent her resentment. "Are you done?"
Adam knelt by the coffin. His voice was dry and hoarse.
He also knew that the copse of Royal Bay was not due to geological reasons.
It was the enemies of the Lewises seeking revenge.
His mother''s death was indeed rted to the Lewises.
However, could the Lewises be med for this?
The chairman''s family felt guilty about his mother''s death and personallyforted them. They gave them ten million inpensation.
There had been idents resulting in deaths in thepany before, but thepensation thepany gave was not even close to a million. He did not think the Lewises were heartless.
On the contrary, the chairman''s family valued rtionships, and the chairman and his wife treated his mother as family. Hera and Nash respected his mother, treating her as an elder. "How muchpensation did the Lewises give your mother?" Rooney suddenly asked.
From what she knew about Harrison''s family, they were not stingy.
Now that Harrison''s Baroque had be the leading chippany in Jonford, their wealth must have increased significantly. They should have given Maria''s family a lot ofpensation. That was the second reason she came to Maria''s funeral. She had not divorced Hubert yet, so she was still a part of the Lewises. She wanted to reim what belonged to the Lewises. "What does it have to do with you?" Adam said indifferently.
"They didn''t give any, did they?
"I already said that the Harrison family is heartless. Your mother worked for the Lewises for nearly 20 years, and in the end, they didn''t even give her a decent funeral!"
Rooney had recently read a warfare strategy book. She was now using psychological warfare to provoke Adam.
Seeing Adam unmoved, she looked
at the rtives of the Tembys and
said, "Let me tell you, the Lewises now have assets worth at least over a billion. Maria worked for the
Lewises for 17 years,
d she die be
because of the Lewises, yet the
Lewises didn''t give a penny.
"If you want Maria''s death to be worth something, go to Jonford and demand more money from Baroque!"
"What, over a billion?"
Johnny''s eyes nearly popped out.
Then, his expression darkened. "The Lewises are despicable. We''ll go to Jonford tomorrow and demand for money!"
Maya''s eyes also glowed with greed. "Why wait until tomorrow? Let''s book tickets now..."
Adam finally lost his temper, stood up, and said, "The Lewises gave my mother ten million inpensation, but this money has nothing to do with any of you!" Rooney pped Adam in the face. "Who said it has nothing to do with us? This is the Lewises'' money. Give back that ten million to me!"
With these words, everyone present was stunned.
Was that sum of money notpensation? Why did she want it back?
From what she said, it sounded like she was not a part of the Lewises.
Adam red at Rooney. "Rooney, you''re disappointing. Your husband and daughter have turned over a new leaf, but you''re getting worse. What a shameless woman!"
Rooney wanted to p Adam again, but this time, Adam grabbed her wrist. Adam said coldly, "The p is intentional harm. ording to the Public Security Management Law, I can have you sentenced to more than three years..."
"Oh, you want to sue me?
"Adam, oh Adam, have you ever looked at who you are
"Let me tell you, in Huevo County, no one dares to convict me of any crime!
"Let me ask you again, will you give back that ten million?"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Rooney snorted, and then she suddenly broke free from Adam''s grip.
Adam said, "Don''t you feel like a clown? This is thepensation Mr. Lewis gave to my mother. It belongs to my mother, and none of you should think about touching it!"
Rooney sneered. "If you won''t give it, fine. Just you wait..."
With that, she took out her phone and dialed a number. "Bostin, bring your men into the vige!"
