Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Plotting to Seize the Assets?
Charles Quinn’s rebuttal was quite reasonable to everyone.
"If July Quinn were Old Master Quinn’s biological granddaughter, it wouldn’t make sense for her to inherit all his assets. But now, July Quinn has no blood relation to the Quinn Family, yet she is set to inherit all his movable and immovable property. It seems a bit unreasonable."
"Exactly, the more I think about it, the more it seems that July Quinn, together with this old man from who knows where, put on a show to confuse us."
"July Quinn is truly heartless. Charles Quinn raised her for so many years, and where there’s no credit, there’s hard work. Even if she’s not grateful, she still tries to seize the entire Quinn Family’s property!"
"I’m so furious. I’m going to record this and post it online, let the internet keyboard warriors expose July Quinn for being a two-faced scumbag!"
In terms of public opinion, Charles Quinn and Nina Quinn felt quite proud.
But their pride didn’t last long, as Elder Cole took out a USB drive.
"Quinn knew you would be unhappy about losing your inheritance, so he specially recorded a video for you. I initially planned to save your dignity and not play it in public, but now it seems unnecessary."
Seeing Elder Cole take out the USB drive, Charles Quinn felt uneasy and wanted to intervene.
But Nina Quinn quietly tugged his hand and whispered, "Dad, don’t go. This is just their trick to scare us!"
"You’re saying grandpa didn’t leave a video at all?" Charles Quinn whispered.
"Yes, grandpa was so ill, how could he have done so much?"
Although the will they presented was fake, Old Master Quinn’s passing was true.
So, Charles Quinn also felt what Nina said made a lot of sense.
A person so sick they couldn’t leave the oxygen mask, how could they still record a video?
With that, Charles Quinn and Nina Quinn watched Elder Cole’s secretary borrow a projector from the company to start showing the video, indifferent and even a bit amused.
Just waiting for Elder Cole to fail to play the video and become the object of ridicule.
But the projector eventually displayed an image of Old Master Quinn, freezing the smug smiles on the father and daughter’s faces.
Charles Quinn still considered moving forward to stop the playback, but Elder Cole’s bodyguards restrained him, allowing the video to proceed smoothly.
In the video, Old Master Quinn wore a patient’s gown, skin and bone, taking long breaths to speak each sentence.
"July is not a child of the Quinn Family, but the Quinn Family owes its current success to her. The Quinn Family’s assets were made from July’s previous stock trades. She’s too intelligent, and many forces have their eyes on her. So for her safety, I brought her back to the country and had her remain silent about her past experiences."
"But I know, a treasure will always shine, and this way cannot protect her forever. Those forces will come eventually. That person will realize sooner or later. We placed July with Charles Quinn’s family to protect her life..."
"Yet I always felt, Charles Quinn’s family is too greedy and bound to cause trouble. So if July’s background is exposed by Charles Quinn’s family, it proves they have no intention of protecting July. Thus, they have no right to enjoy this wealth anymore. You should return these assets to July."
"Elder Cole, I know I probably don’t have many days left, so I can only entrust July and my affairs after passing to you in this way."
