The marriage of Adam and Melinda was not legally binding. There was never a contract for the division of marital assets. After the divorce, Melinda had no right to claim any of the Foster Family's assets.
Gwen couldn't help but commend her father, "Dad, you're the smart one here. She had already considered the Foster Family's assets as her own long ago. If she finds out about this, she might become furious."
When her mother scolded her before, she hinted at something. From now on, the Foster Family's wealth will belong to Skyler, which means Leon and I can forget about it. She even threatened that if Gwen dared to argue back, she wouldn't give her a single penny in the future.
At that moment, Gwen realized the extent of her mother's ambition. Not only did she betray the Foster Family, but she also aimed to take over the entire Foster Family's fortune. Her ambition was extraordinary. Unfortunately, she didn't have the power to match her ambition.
She didn't even have a share of the marital assets that should be legally divided, let alone the Foster Family's wealth.
Her mother would definitely be left with nothing by her father. All calculations, in the end, turned out to be futile. And her mother's proudest achievement was manipulating her father, the aggressive CEO. But little did she know that it was all an illusion.
Her mother would be devastated and couldn't accept it either.
Experience counts, and Dad is clever.
Leon also realized that his dad was smarter compared to him.
Curiously, he asked, "Does Skyler know about this?"
Adam nodded. "Yes, he knows. We have a partnership."
Skyler was a smart person who knew how to make the best choice for himself. Although he wasn't his biological son, Adam still admired him.
After everything was settled, Skyler would voluntarily withdraw from Foster Group according to the agreement.
Gwen sneered at Leon. "You're the most naive one in the family, and only you don't know."
This guy may seem cold and aloof, but he doesn't have much cunning compared to Harold the trickster.
Even his own not-so-smart biological mother could easily manipulate him, showing how foolish he was.
Leon: "..." It hurts, little sister.
He was also struck by this realization. Not only was he the only fool in the family, but he was also the most oblivious. No wonder even Simone didn't want him anymore. He wanted to isolate himself and didn't want to stay here anymore. "I'm tired and want to go back to my place to rest."
Adam did not console him. After going through all these things, his son would surely mature. He said, "Go. You and your sister should find a way in the next two days to publicly sever ties with your mother. Then I will break up with your mother."
He had to coax and instigate Melinda to cut off ties with her children. Then, he would strike Melinda. By the time she regretted it, it would be too late. Otherwise, if they broke up first, Melinda would definitely not agree to sever ties with her children.
Gwen nodded, "We will go find her today and confront her, provoking her to sever ties with us. Let her issue a statement severing ties first, and then we will follow suit. Then, Dad, you give her a push, and it will be done. Afterwards, she will be disgraced and won't dare to trouble us siblings again. Even if she shamelessly comes, we won't pay any attention to her, and no one will dare to say anything. We won't fall for any gaslighting."
As for Leon, ahem, he should just focus on being an actor and making movies.
Ah, it seems that I should learn more from Dad and Gwen in the future.
She despised Salma even more. A lady from a prestigious family who doesn't pay attention to her actions.
She couldn't do such a crazy thing as harming her own nephew.
And that girl Simone. She escaped again. The warlock is useless.
She was sitting in the living room, lost in thought, when Leon and Gwen walked in together. Seeing the two of them, she felt even more annoyed. With an irritated expression on her face, she asked, "What are you back for?"
Gwen deliberately looked angry and said, "Of course, we're back to settle the score with you. Not only did you bribe the warlock to harm Simone, but you also didn't spare us siblings. Are you really our mother? Do you wish for us to die soon? So that Skyler can take over the family's property?"
Upon hearing this, Melinda felt a little guilty. She knew that these two children were always with Simone, and she was angry at the time. These two siblings were always against her, and even though they knew she disliked Simone, they still hung out with her.
At that time, her thoughts were focused on dealing with Simone, and she didn't really think about the safety of her children. But she was their mother, and it was not Gwen's place to question her. She glared at Gwen and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? There's no such thing." She would never admit it, not even in front of her two children.
Gwen scoffed. "Stop pretending. That warlock completely exposed you. He even claimed that you didn't care about our lives and wanted to kill us along with Simone."
Melinda furrowed her brow. She had never made such a statement. Was that person insane? However, she also didn't understand why Gwen was so angry. "Both of you returned safely, so why are you accusing your own mother with such anger?" Furthermore, the family's assets will eventually be inherited by me and my eldest son.
What do you mean by taking over? Her daughter's words were too harsh.
