Chapter 2623 Understand the Law
Jade’s face turned pale.
“You should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.”
Nicole could not help but chuckle.
She interrupted their conversation.
“Aunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. We’re here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!”
Jade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.
“Then… What did you discuss?”
Clayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good
show.
Nicole sighed.
“Actually, we have consulted a lawyer. The worst-case scenario is the death penalty. After all, he killed
two people. But there is a way. Uncle Noah was married to you back then, right? As long as you come
forward to testify that Uncle Noah has been with you all the time, so he didn’t have a chance to commit
those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!”
Jade’s face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.
“You… You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!”
Nicole sneered with a chill in her eyes.
“Wow, you know the law? Then why did you ask my dad to do those illegal things as soon as you came
in?”
Only then did Jade realize that she was being played by Nicole.
Her face turned livid.
“Nicole, you can’t say that. I was just anxious, so I didn’t think it through. Your uncle hasn’t been
convicted yet, so we can still fight for his freedom.”
Nicole lowered her eyes and raised her eyebrows.
“Then you should work harder. We’re counting on you!”
“What do you mean?” Jade looked at her, and finally at Floyd.
“Big Brother, you don’t plan to help Noah?”
Floyd’s eyes were deep and dark.
“He has to pay the price for what he did. We have no control over what you want to do, but we don’t
need your input either.”
Jade did not expect Floyd to be so determined.
She panicked for a while.
Jade was no longer tough and domineering. She stuttered and sat down again, organizing her
thoughts.
“If he dies like this, how will my daughter and I live? We’ll be an orphan and a widow…”
As Jade spoke, two drops of tears came out of her eyes.
It was a pity that no one cared.
Floyd lowered his eyes and looked impatient. He was just putting up with Jade.
Nicole thought it was hilarious.
“Aunt Jade, your daughter isn’t Uncle Noah’s biological daughter, and she’s not a Stanton. Our family
raised her for you, yet you still want her to depend on Uncle Noah for the rest of her life? Even
bloodsuckers aren’t so diligent.”
Jade suddenly froze. Her face was glum.
“Nicole, you’re too harsh. Your uncle couldn’t have a child, but I took care of him. What’s wrong with
him taking care of my daughter in return?”
Kai could not stand it and interrupted her irritably.
“That’s enough. What are you doing here? We don’t welcome you here!”
Jade took a deep breath to hold back her anger.
Floyd did not stop his children from being rude, which meant he condoned this behavior.
Jade was aware of her situation, but she did not want to leave empty-handed.
She had to get what she wanted.
Jade took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Floyd.
“Big Brother, since Noah can’t come out of prison, I can’t just sit around and wait for him till I die.
Please let me return to the company. I will take good care of the Jericho City branch, and I will use
Noah’s shares well. I won’t cause trouble for the company. In the past two years, I haven’t caused any
trouble. I just want to live a peaceful life.”
Hearing this, Floyd frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were deep and dark, as if he could see through everything.
“You want his shares?”
Jade twitched the corners of her mouth to maintain a decent smile.
“Shouldn’t I have them? I’m his wife and his successor. Now that he’s in jail, I should be in charge of all
his property.”
As soon as she said this, Kai sneered.
“You don’t know yet, do you? He sold his shares to Eric Ferguson.”
“I know. But Eric didn’t want them, right? It means that the shares are still in Noah’s name.”
Jade said and looked at Floyd.
She cared more about Floyd’s attitude.
Floyd had a soft spot, especially for his younger brother.
It was impossible for Floyd to disregard his brother’s family.
As soon as she finished speaking, Floyd looked at her suspiciously.
Clayton’s playful eyes were also stunned, and he squeezed Nicole’s hand.
Jade realized something and immediately added with a smile.
“I was just guessing. Since Eric likes Nicole so much, he’ll probably curry favor with you. How could he
do something that isn’t beneficial for Stanton Corporation? Eric is afraid of Nicole. Clayton, I’m not
sowing discord between you two. I’m just stating the truth. Even if it was for Nicole, Eric wouldn’t have
signed the contract. What’s more, if there was a real change in the ownership of the shares, the Jericho
City branch would have already received the news, and it wouldn’t be so peaceful.”
Jade was indeed an experienced person in the business world.
She could clearly grasp what could throw a company into turmoil.
In just a few words, she analyzed the situation.
However, Floyd was infuriated by Jade’s words.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Eric is already married, so stop giving my daughter a bad name.”
“Sorry, Big Brother. I made a slip of the tongue.”
Jade quickly admitted her mistake.
Anyway, she already said her piece and could not take back her words.
“But it’s true that Eric doesn’t own the shares, right?”
Jade asked tentatively, but she was confident of her inference.
Floyd glanced at her silently. His eyes were deep and dark.
“You want the shares?”
“Of course. This is the only thing that Noah left for me. I’ll disappoint him if I don’t take them.”
Jade hid the excitement in her chest.
Kai rolled his eyes speechlessly. Jade was too anxious to benefit from Noah.
Before Noah’s sentence was pronounced, Jade could not wait to come over to sort out the property.
Those who did not know better would think that she was in a hurry to collect her inheritance!
Floyd slowly took a sip of tea from the teacup and sighed.
“Sorry to disappoint you, Jade. Everyone in the company knows about what Noah did, and he hasn’t
paid back what he owes to the company yet. Now, the board of directors insists on holding him
accountable. The police will confiscate his property and repay the company’s arrears, which will be
covered by the dividends of his shares.”
After hearing this, Jade was shocked and stood up abruptly. Her face became glum.
“The board of directors listens to you. If you don’t speak up, why would they hold him accountable for
the arrears? I think you came up with the idea because you wanted to take his shares as your own!”
