7 The announcemen (1/2)

Shaking the weird feeling this mother and son duo were giving me, i listened to grandpa announcement.

”As you all know, i am getting older and i can't continue to manage the Green Financial Empire. So i will step down from my position as the head, It's time to talk to you all of my decision for the succession. I will also divide my possessions among those present today.”

As he paused ”uncle” Thomas immediately spoke:

”I understand your thoughts for everything but why is this boy involved in the succession?!!”

”Silence!! it's my decision, also don't forget that wether he admit it or not he's a son of this Green family and it's his birthright. I also want to make it up to him for all the hardships he endured for all these years away from us, also he is your SISTER's son.” grandpa said emotionally.

I observed the situation calmly and thought 'I have an inheritance? Wow who knew? i thought those people hated me but it's seems that it was a bullshit between them and my mom.'

”But..” my uncle attempted to convince grandfather but it was all for naught.

”There's no but, it's final!!” grandfather glared at him.

Mel stopped uncle when he wanted to speak again and shook her head before he finally shut up.

”John will take over my place as the head of the group.” grandfather continued. Uncle Thomas face wasn't looking good. But grandfather ignored him.

”The shares of the group will be divided between you all, Thomas will have 15%, John 25%, Maddie and Laure 5% each, Cole too 5% , Carrie 20% and Samsara 20%, the rest belong to the board of shareholders.”

Uncle was looking even more livid but surprisingly didn't say anything about the repartition.

I was also shocked about the percentage of my shares but i soon understood that it was because they were originally my mother's.

”The gestion of the family properties will be left to Carrie.”

After the announcement there was a short silence. Uncle John then stood up and said solemnly to grandpa.
