As soon as he said this, the atmosphere sank again, as if there was an indescribable force that pressed them under the water.
They were depressed, uncomfortable, and choked on water in their lungs, but they couldn't control that feeling.
After a while, Hiram said in a low but deep voice, "Grandpa, I didn't mean that. I just think that Chester has the right to know the truth. After all, his mother's death had something to do with my mother. "At that moment, he felt heartbroken. When he knew the truth, he couldn't believe that his mother, whom he worshiped since childhood, would do such a thing.
However, when the truth came to him, he could do nothing but feel painful, helpless and guilty.
He didn't even have the right to reverse the confession, because no one in the world would have been poisoning others for a long time!
He didn't know who else he could think of except his mother.
"If he knows the truth, you two will fight to the death again. Back then, you two ignored your brotherhood because of Emma. If he also knows what your mother had done, you will destroy this family. "Ethan's words were sharp and cruel, just like a knife stabbing into his heart.
He sighed. His heart was torn, as if something was seeping out. He clenched his fists, with his face as pale as paper. He pursed and tightened his lips. He said word by word "Grandpa, I will be responsible for my mother's mistake. I won't take the shares of the Mo family. I want to give all of them to Chester as compensation! "
"No way! "Ethan resolutely denied it. "Do you know the consequences, Hiram? "
Jonny was also shocked. He knew that his son had not been interested in the business of the Mo group these years, but he never thought that Hiram would have the idea of withdrawing his shares. The interests of the three branches of the Mo family were intertwined, but the shares were always controlled by each other. Ethan held the power and would not be partial to either side. But the eldest was usually chosen as the heir. It was obvious that Hiram gave up the right of inheritance!
And once he gave up the right of inheritance, the balance of the Mo family for so many years would be broken, and no one knew what would happen at that time!
"Hiram, are you crazy? It wasn't all your mother's fault at that time. All of us were wrong. I don't agree to your withdrawal! "Panic flashed through Jonny's eyes. He didn't expect that his son didn't care about the Mo family's business.
The Mo family was the richest and the most powerful family in the L city. It engaged in all kinds of industries and was one of the best families in the country.
And this rich family was different from other wealthy families. Ethan was in power in the Mo family!
Hiram smiled sadly, and even the sadness in his eyes was about to spill over. He said, "Grandpa, Dad, you should know what kind of person Chester is. Back then, he hated me because of what happened to Emma, and what's more, he won't give up once he knew the matter about his mother. So I give up the Mo family's shares as a compensation for him, and..."
He paused and felt as if his heart was about to explode. He breathed painfully. "And Emma was back. "
Hearing that, Jonny was stunned, as if he could not believe it. He muttered "Isn't she dead? "Emma's death and Wendy's death were both taboos in the Mo family. No one had mentioned those for so many years. How could Hiram say that Emma was still alive?
Then who was the person that was burned to death in the fire?
A sharp light flashed in Ethan's eyes, which were unfathomable, but soon returned to calm, like a deep pool of water, unfathomable. He raised his head, looked straight at Hiram, and said indifferently "Hiram, let's postpone the matter of Emma. We are talking about your aunt now. "
Hiram didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. Since he knew the truth, he had been immersed in a kind of anxiety. He always felt that he would lose control at any time, because the truth was so hurtful that it destroyed everything he had since he was a child, with nothing left. His mother was so gentle and noble since childhood. How could she do that?
He didn't believe it, but he had to.
Ethan continued "Hiram, you are the eldest grandson of the Mo family. You should know that this matter involves interests. You are also the grandson of the Gu family. If this matter is exposed, it is not just the Mo family involved, but the two families will both be in trouble. You should think twice before you make a decision! "
"I understand. "Hiram nodded.
