Chapter 1623 - Mo Xicheng Reinstated (96) (1/2)

Mo Hai froze upon hearing this and asked, “What do you mean? What right has he got to ask for shares? He is now an adult. Even if he wants to inherit some shares, he could have at least waited till I’m dead and have it sorted out with Mo Xicheng! He’s filing a lawsuit now? Why?”

The lawyer coughed softly and explained, “He is filing a suit against the Mo family because he used to work in the family business and even held shares in the business. Now he is filing a lawsuit against the family for kicking him out without giving him a single cent, in addition to illegally cheating him out of his shares. So now the court is gathering evidence.”

Mo Hai frowned and said, “What sort of evidence is there? He owed the company money, so he had to return his shares for collateral damages. Even if the court investigates and finds this, he won’t get the money, so what’s there to it?”

The lawyer nodded and agreed, “You’re right, but the problem is… what will the public opinion be?”

Mo Hai was stumped.

The lawyer continued, “Generally speaking, people support the disadvantaged party. When Mo Xicheng’s status was revealed, there were already people criticizing the family severely. They took Mo Zhi’s side and felt that he was the one suffering the most. If the matter blows up now, the pressure of the public opinion will damage the company’s reputation. So I do suggest that you settle it outside of court. Placate him with some money and everything will end up well.”

Mo Hai nodded and said, “Alright, I understand.”

After he hung up, Mo Hai dialed Mo Zhi’s number.

The phone rang twice before it was answered.

Mo Zhi said, “Hello? Dad, you’ve heard the news?”

Mo Hai replied with a gloomy face, “Mo Zhi, what is it that you want?”
