Humphrey glanced at Abigail with a deep look. He narrated word by word, "The Herbert family in Lymelathe City was originally one of the largest wealthy families in Lymelathe City with unparalleled brilliance.
My father, Aldrich, was a business giant in Lymelathe City and a well-known philanthropist. Three years ago, he completely handed over the Herbert family business to my brother Dempsey. He committed to charity and was well-known.
My brother Dempsey was talented and intelligent. After taking over the Herbert family's business, he made the business even stronger and had the potential to become the richest man in Lymelathe City.
My brother once exchanged letters with me. There was unparalleled confidence and ambition between the lines. He even persuaded me to come back and manage the company's business with him. The two brothers wrote business legends together.
But last year, my parents suddenly died in a car accident!
Three months later, my brother committed suicide by drowning himself in a river!
Immediately afterward, the Herbert family company changed owners, the property was sealed, and disappeared overnight!
Are you telling me now that all this is normal and there is no hidden secret behind it?"
Spoke to this point, Humphrey's momentum suddenly rose!
As tall as a mountain!
As unpredictable as the sea!
As miserable as clouds and mist!
Humphrey stared at Abigail coldly, and said indifferently, "Aunt, I heard that the current actual shareholder of Galaxy Clothing Company, which used to be controlled by the Herbert family, is named Fitch. I remember that my uncle, Gene's younger brother was also named Fitch, right?"
Abigail's expression changed with a panic flashed in his eyes for a moment. She said sternly, "Humphrey, what do you mean by this, am I going to harm my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew? I'm not afraid to tell you that Fitch is the younger brother of your Uncle, Gene. When the Herbert family was still prosperous, Fitch was the deputy general manager of Galaxy Clothing Company. He is extremely capable. After the fall of the Herbert family, he became the controlling shareholder of the company by his ability. Is there any problem?"
Candiece's younger brother Horace also said angrily, "Since Dempsey died, my uncle has often supported Ji..."
Without speaking out Jini's name completely, perhaps because she was afraid of Humphrey's slap, so she quickly changed her words and said, "Supported sister-in-law and Selena, you just doubt others without asking. Are you so cold-hearted?"
Candiece sat on the ground. She covered her face and said coldly, "Why are you telling him this? What if he is suspicious? My uncle behaved in a good manner, is it necessary to be afraid of him?"
Humphrey slowly looked over the faces of the mother and son. He nodded and said indifferently, "It's best if he behaved in a good manner. However, I will carefully investigate what happened last year in the coming days. If I found out the changes in the Herbert family have something to do with you and Fitch. Then you all have to be buried with my parents and brother!"
Abigail and the others all looked somewhat unnatural.
Abigail said, "Humphrey, if we have something to do with that matter, is it necessary to live in a large courtyard with Jini now, carrying water all day long, and going to the public toilets on the street all day long? When one prospers, all prosper; when one is disgraced, all are disgraced. We're in this together. Why are we bringing down the Herbert family."
Candiece cursed, "He is just a psycho! A lunatic!"
Humphrey snorted coldly and said nothing.
It happened more than a year ago. Although he has never been able to return to Lymelathe City, he has already sent someone to investigate and inquire about the situation in Lymelathe City many times.
After the collapse of the Herbert family, Abigail, the mother and children, indeed lived with Jini in a large courtyard in a poor area.
But that was just a superficial phenomenon.
Secretly, they would go to live in a high-end villa from time to time.
And that high-end villa is the property under Fitch's name.
Abigail's husband, Gene, died early. Abigail and her two children had been living with her maiden family, the Herbert family.
Aldrich had always supported her. Living in the Herbert family and eating in the Herbert family.
Fitch was able to work as the vice president of the clothing company because Abigail asked for the job for his brother-in-law in front of Aldrich.
Originally, after the collapse of the Herbert family, Abigail and the children should stick together through thick and thin.
But the strange thing is that just a few days after the collapse of the Herbert family, Fitch became the CEO and actual controlling shareholder of the clothing company.
As for Abigail and the children, they were all for a show, there was something else going on behind the scenes!
Humphrey wouldn't believe it if there was nothing fishy in this.
But Humphrey was not in a hurry. Now that he was back, he would get to the bottom of everything!
Suddenly, Humphrey knelt like he was pushing a golden mountain over a jade pillar!
He bowed three times vigorously to the three tombs.
Then, he stood up and looked at Jini, "Sister-in-law, I still say the same thing. Now that I'm back, no one can touch you, no one can force you to do something you don't want to do. You are my eldest brother's widow. As long as you are willing, I will not stop you from finding another man to marry. But I will never allow you to be someone else's mistress! In addition, my eldest brother mentioned Selena to me many times in his letters before, my niece I have never met. Whether you like it or not, I will be her father from now on. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Selena will be the happiest child in the world, and I will never let her suffer any injustice!"
Jini trembled all over and looked at Humphrey intently. She was speechless.
Humphrey looked at Abigail and the others coldly and said, "You guys, take care of yourself. I hope that when we meet again next time, we can treat each other as relatives, instead of enemies."
Humphrey in an upright position turned around and walked down the mountain with a constant pace of step.
His black windbreaker swayed in the wind, making a squeaking sound, and the sound could still be heard in the distance.
"Bah! Why is he pretending to be important?"
Candiece spat hard at Humphrey's back and said angrily, "Let's forget it. If he is really serious, why doesn't he give Jini some money? After bragging for a long time, he just left like this? He even said he wanted to be Selena's father, which is funny! "
"Leave him alone, his brain was not normal seven years before he left Lymelathe City. My eldest brother probably adopted him because he had a brain disease. Unexpectedly, when he came back now, he would become even more serious. He would kill people immediately and bury others with him. Who did he think he was?"
After Abigail sarcastically said a few words, he said to Jini, "Jini, I have 150 dollars here. Take it and ask Candiece to accompany you on your way back to buy a pair of stockings and sexy lingerie. Take a shower at night, and put on new stockings and lingerie to meet Mr. Dunn. Do you get me?"
Jini's face turned a little red. How could she not understand what Abigail meant?
Her underwear was washed out. Wearing it to meet Mr. Dunn would be a mood killer.
What Humphrey said just now echoed in her mind. For a moment, Jini was about to refuse. If she could, how could she become someone else's lover?
However, after hesitating for a while, Jini took the 150 dollars and said, "Aunt, I know."
Sometimes, people had to bow to the reality.
From the day Dempsey died and the Herbert family collapsed overnight, Jini completely understood this truth.
