Chapter 236: Abbie Regains Control of the Shares

Omari only took on cases that were worth at least nine figures or ones that he found interesting. Despite his refined and sophisticated appearance, he was actually a thrill-seeking boy who loved to challenge himself.

He wouldn't even bother with a case of this level.

As for Mr. Kent's call to inquire about Miss Berry, it was only out of fear of offending the man behind her, Kelvin Foley.

In the end, Omari refused the case.

Abbie had heard that Omari was a legal genius in Akloit's legal community, and his name even appeared in international legal publications.

That was why she wanted him as her representative.

But a lawyer like Omari was just an employee after all. What made him look down on her?

"No thanks. Goodbye."

Abbie rejected Mr. Kent's proposal to find someone else instead of Omari as her lawyer.

After all, there was more than one law firm. She could hire some other lawyer.

...

This area was known as Akloit's golden district - all you can see ere white buildings with pointed domes reminiscent of Islamic architecture.

The Berry Villa stood out among them all with its entire marble relief walls and a two-meter-three-tall statue in its garden.

It would have been impossible to build this villa without spending billions.

It should have belonged to Abbie. But after Abbie's father died, Cody took away 10% shares of the Foley Group from her father under the pretext that she was not well enough.

She thought she could marry into the Foley family, so she didn't care about the shares very much. But now Kelvin seemed increasingly indifferent towards her while becoming more interested in Cheyenne instead.

This made Abbie feel uneasy especially when Cheyenne shattered Abbie's confidence mercilessly.

The emotional breakdown caused pain in Abbie's chest, making it difficult for her to sleep at night.

After thinking about it for several nights, she decided to take back those 10% ownership shares which rightfully belong to hers; hence, she came back intentionally today.

Just then, Cody had decided to take a few days off from work due to his argument with Kelvin at the company. He refused to go back until Kelvin personally apologized. However, before he could hear from Kelvin, Abbie and a lawyer showed up at his doorstep.

The smile on Cody's face disappeared instantly as he looked confusedly at the two visitors standing in front of him. The atmosphere was tense and oppressive as they silently observed each other without speaking a word.

Abbie was dressed differently than usual, wearing a black professional suit with matching high heels and her hair pulled back neatly. She looked sharp and capable compared to her usual soft demeanor. "Uncle Cody, won't you let me come in for a while?" she said softly with a gentle laugh.

Cody hesitated for a moment before gesturing for her to sit down while taking his seat across from her on the sofa. He reached into his shirt pocket out of habit and pulled out an unlit cigar which he held between his thumb and forefinger without lighting it.

Glancing over Abbie's shoulder at the lawyer beside her, Cody pretended familiarity by patting him on the shoulder before asking, "Abbie, what brings you here? Why don't you call me ahead so that I can pick you up?"

Abbie smiled elegantly and sat upright, which made Cody feel somewhat uneasy.

It wasn't typical behavior for Abbie who usually acted more timidly around him.

"It's okay. I can easily take a taxi here myself," she replied calmly.

"By the way, who is the person with you?"

From the moment Cody opened the door, he couldn't help but notice the man standing beside Abbie. He was about six feet tall, dressed in a sharp black Armani shirt and suit, sporting a deep red pinstriped tie, and perched silver-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

He exuded an air of elite sophistication.

Abbie leisurely set down her teacup, folded her hands neatly on her lap, and looked over with a gentle gaze. Her red lips parted as she introduced, "Uncle Cody, this is Lawyer Smith."

A lawyer? Cody had considered whether he might be a company executive or a doctor, but the intelligent gleam in those eyes made him feel a bit uneasy. He hadn't expected it to be a lawyer. Why on earth would his niece bring a lawyer home?

Could it be... For Foster's shares!

Abbie looked up at Mr. Smith and gracefully picked up the coffee on the table. She lowered her gaze and took a gentle breath.

From this angle, her face looked as pale as paper, and her long eyelashes stood out. A glint of light flashed quickly in her eyes, revealing a chilliness.

When her father passed away, Uncle Cody ignored her and even took away her shares.

When he turned eighteen, he had countless opportunities to return the shares to her, but he didn't. He even asked the doctor to change the sleeping pills she often took, wanting to kill her.

If it weren't for Kelvin noticing something was wrong and getting her to switch doctors for a re-examination, she might have died under his conspiracy long ago.

Every time Abbie sees Cody's hypocritical face, she felt disgusted.

Cody and his family was living a luxurious life with the fruits of her father. Cody's wife always wore a haughty expression and looked down on her, while Jane, that bitch, constantly flaunted her chat and hotel records with her boyfriend in front of her.

It was time to take back what belonged to her.

Mr. Smith took out a document and placed it in front of Cody, his expression serious as he spoke, "Hello Mr. Berry, my name is Stefan Smith and I am the lawyer hired by Miss Abbie."

"This is the property certificate and will left by Mr. Foster when he was alive, as well as the court decision and Miss Berry's management contract from that year."

The contract only states that Cody will act as a proxy for 10% of the shares due to Abbie's physical discomfort, but it does not specify a time limit. Now that Abbie is 26 years old, it is reasonable for her to claim this share.

But Cody thought of another possiblity.

Abbie had ignored the shares for so many years but suddenly made a fuss today.

Was there someone behind this who was pulling the strings?

Kelvin?

It must be him!

Because of what happened at the meeting, he came up with this trick to deal with himself.
