Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Lincoln Green’s Suspicions
 

Rose Taylor looked at her daughter’s indignant expression. “What’s happened?”

Ruby Green repeated Adam Piers’ words from last night to Rose Taylor.

Rose Taylor was stunned after hearing it. “Is what you said true?”

“Mom, why would I joke about something like this? Adam Piers himself said it. That’s why those who mocked me before are now flattering me. The vice president of Jerry Entertainment even personally drove me home.” Ruby Green quickly explained, fearing her mother wouldn’t believe her.

Rose Taylor was still in shock. “So… it’s true?”

“Of course, it’s true!” Ruby Green responded confidently, then lowered her voice. “I never thought that old man had a trick up his sleeve. He acted generous towards us, but he actually treated us like beggars.”

Rose Taylor remained silent. She had never expected this either.

She had worked at Lincoln Pharmaceuticals for twenty years, from a logistics staffer to now controlling most of Lincoln Pharmaceuticals’ finances. She thought she understood Lincoln Green completely. She had no idea Lincoln Green held such a vast wealth with the Piers.

Those were shares in the Piers!

Even just a few shares would yield dividends that no other business could match.

Not to mention that Lincoln Pharmaceuticals had been in loss in recent years. Even in its heyday, its earnings couldn’t compare to a year’s dividends from Piers’ shares.

“I’ll try to find out his intentions.” Rose Taylor remained silent for a good while before speaking.

Ruby Green, still in a blind excitement, heard her mother’s words. “Mom, you must find a way to get those shares.”

Rose Taylor nodded. “I know.”

Since Lincoln Green was so unfeeling, she couldn’t be blamed for being disloyal. Such a big thing, and he hadn’t mentioned it to her all these years. Did he genuinely take her for a fool?

“Mom, what are you going to do?” Ruby Green leaned closer.

“I…”

Knock, knock, knock.

“Rose, are you in Ruby’s room? Breakfast is ready. Stop chatting and come wash up and eat.” Lincoln Green, having finished washing up and not seeing his wife, knocked on Ruby Green’s door.

“Oh, honey, we’re coming.” Rose Taylor immediately changed her tone, responding to Lincoln Green, then whispered to Ruby, “Hurry up and get ready for breakfast.”

“I know.” Ruby Green was even more excited than Rose Taylor, wanting to see Lincoln Green’s reaction.

The mother and daughter tidied up and came to find breakfast already on the table.

Lincoln Green sat at the head of the table, waiting for them to sit down. He looked at Ruby Green. “Ruby, why did you come back so late last night? Since your leg isn’t fully recovered, don’t run around for now. It takes a hundred days to heal injured muscles and bones. Be careful.”

“Dad, I know. Yesterday, I went to see traditional Flowery medicine with Clark Stone. The acupuncture took a long time, so I came back late.” Ruby Green lied without changing her expression.

She knew very well that Lincoln Green’s concern was merely a warning not to embarrass herself more amidst the recent scandals.

“Oh.” Lincoln Green may not have managed the house, but he knew that Ruby Green had returned in the afternoon yesterday after going out with Clark Stone. It was clear she was lying. At first, he genuinely cared for her leg, but now he had to reassess his stepdaughter.

So many things had happened to her recently, almost reshaping his perception. Not only was she short-tempered, smashing tables and chairs at the drop of a hat, but she also claimed she didn’t like Clark Stone while secretly sleeping with him. She even got mistaken for a home-wrecker, causing a scandal known to everyone. Now, lying came easily to her.

Was this change due to the Piers’ matters, or was she always like this?

Lincoln Green responded with an oh, his gaze falling on the two women who looked alike and appeared gentle. For the first time, he hesitated.
