Henley and David were half-brothers, but Douglas was stricter toward Henley.
"Can't you learn from David?"
"David is smart, but why do I have a stupid son like you?"
"Why can't you understand such a simple report? If you were David…"
Those were the words Henley heard the most.
He was always compared with David because he was the second son.
As the second son, Henley appeared so ordinary and was overshadowed by David.
Henley worked hard, but there was a huge difference between effort and talent.
David wasn't only smart; he was also a hard-working man.
In addition to his talent, he worked so hard that Henley could never surpass him forever.
Hence, David became that pall of trauma clouding over Henley for eternity.
Henley had been waiting his entire life for this day to come. This time, he could finally drive David's family out of Fordham Group and retrieve what was rightfully his.
"Avery, you're smart, so I guess I can just go straight to the point. Even if you've bought some shares, Douglas' shares are with us. You're bound to lose! So why make it more difficult for yourself? You'll end up being the laughing stock."
Jacqueline retorted, "That's not right, Uncle Henley. Let's not talk about whether my father is Grandpa's biological son or not. We still share the same blood and the same grandmother. Grandma and Grandpa loved each other for many years. How could we not have inheritance rights?
"Besides, Dad built up this company single-handedly. Now that it's a huge and profitable company, you're trying to gain benefits from this. There's no free lunch in this world."
Graham snorted coldly. "Let's not waste our time talking with them, Dad."
He clapped, motioning for his legal team to enter the room.
Avery's legal team followed suit.
