But once the will was announced, it turned out that it wasn't the result many had expected. Just like how old man Manoban thought ill of Lisa and Jennie, he did the same for his grandsons. he was thinking of trying to divide the inheritance equally amongst his grandsons but also going in order from the oldest to the youngest. she also made it seem like the family needed to cooperate with one another to defeat their common enemy. he thought that even if they weren't willing to, it wouldn't cause too big of a problem.
Yet, the reality was crueler than he'd imagined or perhaps, people were greedier than he'd expected. No matter whether his sons who had each inherited 20% of the shares, or father Manoban with 30% of the shares, or even all the grandsons who had bagged an abundant amount of inheritances; none of them was satisfied!
Right, no one was pleased! Everyone believed that they should've gotten more and that the old man was clearly being biased!
Father manoban, who believed that since he was the oldest, and fathered the oldest grandson, shouldn't have been stuck with just 30% of the shares. If his two brothers joined hands, his position as the Chairman would be threatened. This was like a sword hanging right above his head, his source of a constant worry. How could he accept this? It was only natural that he was disappointed in the old man.
Meanwhile, the other manoban siblings thought so too. They're both their father's sons but how come their big brother got more while they had to settle for much lesser than his? 10% of the shares was a huge amount. That was enough to let numerous families live a peaceful and harmonious life. They wouldn't need to worry about money as it was at least one billion!
The grandsons who inherited no shares at all were even more displeased. So what if they had gotten some properties? These things couldn't be spent as money. Their surnames were all Manoban, but how come they didn't get Manoban Company's shares? Although it had gone to their fathers, they were still young and money was controlled by their fathers. They would've had more freedom had the shares been in their hands!
So, almost at the very instant after the will was announced, everybody's face changed. It was worse than when the doctor had declared old man Manoban's death. It was enough to know how everyone actually felt.
The chain of reactions was enough for people to see the indifference and selfishness of the Manoban Family. Old man Manoban's bones weren't even cold yet, and the people in charge of his funeral weren't his sons but the assistants of his sons. There were only two grandsons who stayed and the rest were their fathers who had started to calculate and scheme for the shares in the Manoban Company.
Manoban Family had 70% of the shares, and the oldest son was already in possession of 30%. If the other two sons in the family wanted to occupy the position of the Chairman, besides joining forces, they needed to buy the rest of the shares. The idea of joining forces wasn't even considered by the two brothers since they viewed one another as enemies. How could they become cooperative partners?
At this time, Jennie gathered her trusted aides over and held a small meeting...
"Tell me. What should we do right now?" Before everybody, was information on the current situations of Manobans and Lee's. After everyone had looked it over, they all had their own thoughts.
"Well, this depends on what result President Kim wants to see." she Irene answered with confidence.
"For the Lee Family, I want to see them as miserable as possible. As for the Manoban, the uglier their situation is, the better." The Lee and Manoban Family were clearly different. One had earned her hatred; the other, disgust.
The Lee's had harmed Jennie in the past. No matter the result, they deserved it. Though the Manobans had abandoned Lisa, this wasn't as bad as the Lee's. Although Jennie was cruel and ruthless, knowing that the Manoban Family was related to Lisa by blood, she couldn't really leave the Manoban Family to die. However, it was a given that she would teach them a lesson. Of course, this decision was under the precondition that the Manoban Family wouldn't continue doing something that they shouldn't be doing. Otherwise, don't blame her for being harsh and heartless!
