Chapter 1314
Since then, Lucian was like a whole new person.
He went quiet, lost all his edge.
Gideon and Evander's wedding was a big deal, and Lucian was all in, checking every flower to make sure they were perfect.
People still talk about that wedding.
Everyone knew how much Gideon loved Evander, and Evander went from being super rich to even richer.
Gideon was really thankful to Lucian.
Two months later, Larry wanted Lucian to join the company, and Gideon was cool with it.
For the next thirty years, Lucian worked hard, totally dedicated to the Durham group, but he never held back on spending for himself.
He never thought he was wrong.
He truly believed he deserved it.
He was a Durham by birth; if Gideon had $5 billion, he should have $5 billion too.
He put up with it for thirty years.
He was so close to winning.
Life was unfair.
The ashtray in front of Lucian was overflowing, and cigarette butts were all over the coffee table.
The sky outside was slowly getting brighter.
Lucian, looking worn out, slowly got up from the sofa, picked up the phone with a cracked screen that was tossed in the corner, and found the lawyer's contact. "I have a stock transfer agreement here. Can you check if there are any traps?"
He had already lost.
Wyatt was too ruthless. He had enough evidence to easily send Lucian to prison.
Lucian felt he was getting old. He wanted to leave with some dignity.
He still had a son and daughter, and his grandkids were still young.
Selling the shares and some properties, the family could still live comfortably.
Lucian tried to convince himself. But he was still bitter.
No matter how bitter he was, at ten in the morning, he went to the company.
In front of Wyatt, he signed the stock transfer agreement.
Wyatt took it and glanced at Lucian's signature.
"When Grandpa gave you the shares, he had a big fight with Grandma at home," Wyatt said coldly, "Grandma was really upset. When she met Grandpa, he wasn't favored in the Durham family, and he wasn't in line to be the heir. It was Grandma who always strategized behind the scenes for him, eventually securing the heir position and firmly holding half of the shares. From then on, the Durham group became the largest shareholder, quickly growing from a declining state to one of the top companies in Armie."
Wyatt's gaze fell on Lucian, sharp as ever. "Simply put, without my Grandma, you wouldn't have such a prominent father. She treated my Grandpa like that, but in the end, he dated a mistress outside and had an illegitimate child. I've always known you resented my Grandma. For the past few years, you've been trying to place your people in the nursing home. You know your intentions."
"Shouldn't I have done that!" Lucian's eyes were red. "Because of her, I couldn't even openly call my father 'Dad'!"
"Of course, you shouldn't!" Wyatt's eyes were piercing. "Among everyone in the Durham family, the only person you can resent is your father! If it weren't for my Grandma's kindness, do you think you could have grown up well-fed and well-educated?"
