Chapter 731

The Thompson Group was worth hundreds of billions, and Frank’s half of the shares amounted to tens of billions. Mrs. Thompson Sr.’s demand wasn’t just bold; it was pure, unadulterated greed.

“Frank, I know my own body. I don’t have much time left. I also know you’ve always favored the son Emma gave you and never cared for Eden. When I’m gone, who will be left to protect him? He and his child will surely be bullied. Frank, if you give them some shares as a safety net, I’ll be able to rest in peace when I die p>

Mrs. Thompson Sr. clutched her chest, looking as if she might breathe her last at any moment.

Frank waited patiently for her to finish before speaking with a scornful edge. “I don’t hold any shares of the Thompson Group under my name, so I have nothing to give Eden. Besides, I’ve said it before, once Eden is married, I’m done with him. From that point on, he will have no connection to me or the Thompson family p>

“What? How can you not have any shares? You’re the chairman of the Thompson Group! Don’t think you can fool me just because I’m an old woman. Eden already told me everything,” Mrs. Thompson Sr. said, her anger flaring. In her agitation, she had inadvertently given Eden away.

Frank sneered and continued, “Years ago, when I first went into business, not only did you disapprove, you yelled and hit me, causing a huge scene. Emma was the one who supported me. Later, when my business failed and I was deep in debt, you nearly disowned me, terrified I’d drag you down. It was Emma who paid off my debts and helped me get back on my feet. Without Emma, there would be no Thompson Group today p>

“Emma married you. She’s your wife. Isn’t it her duty to support her husband’s career? That was her responsibility!” Mrs. Thompson Sr. argued illogically.

Frank couldn’t be bothered to reason with her anymore and simply stated the facts.

“Back when you and Carol schemed against me, Emma found out and wanted a divorce. I had an affair, so if we divorced, I would have left with nothing, giving her the company and all the money. We didn’t divorce because she was pregnant. Instead, I transferred all my shares to Bennett’s name. Bennett is the true owner of the Thompson Group; I’ve just been working for my son all these years p>

“What? The Thompson family company is in that little bastard Bennett’s name! How could you give such a valuable company to him? Something this big, and you didn’t even consult me? Do you think I’m dead? You ungrateful son

Furious, Mrs. Thompson Sr. beat her chest in frustration. “No, I don’t agree Eden is your son too, he must have a part of the company. Frank if you don’t agree to this, then don’t you dare call me your mothenever again p>

“Alright, fine,” Frank replied instantly, without a second thought.

With that, Frank turned and walked away without the slightest hesitation, ignoring

Mrs. Thompson Sr.’s roars and curses.

When Frank stepped out of the ward, Eden and Yolanda were both there.

“Dad p>

“Dad.” Eden and Yolanda hadn’t expected Frank to leave so quickly. Caught off guard, they greeted him awkwardly.

“Hmph.” Frank gave a cold grunt and walked past them without another glance. As he passed the doctor’s office, however, he instructed the attending physician, “Take good care of the old lady She’s looking forward to seeing her great-grandchild’s birth. We mustn’t let her pass away with any regrets p>

“Rest assured, Mr. Thompson, we will do our very best,” the doctor replied respectfully.
