No matter what the answer was, Adam had already noticed her!

Molly was stunning. Even if Adam could not marry her, he was fine with fooling around with her!

Walter recomposed himself very quickly. "It's good that you agreed."

He then headed to his study immediately and took out a marriage contract.

"This contract was made by the elderly of our family and the Herring family. As long as you sign this, your engagement with Adam will be revoked!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Molly took the contract and signed her name on it, not even bothering to look at the details.

Every move of hers was quick, and she looked ever so cool while she did it.

Walter was delighted when he took back the contract. "From now onwards, you will have no relationship with the Herring family! I'll use this opportunity to pair Diana and Adam up for marriage..."

He hesitated for a while and told Grandpa Dave, "Also, I've decided to transfer 2% of my shares to Diana as her dowry! Though Diana isn't blood-related to Lara or me, we've still raised her for twenty-over years, so we share a bond. Diana is an obedient child too, and she's been by my side for a long time. Besides, I've made this promise from the start."

Back when they did not know that Diana was not their biological daughter, Walter had already made this promise.

Now that things had changed, he still wanted to keep his word.

Diana was elated, but she still acted pretentious by saying, "Thank you, Dad, Mom! It's only reasonable for me to be obedient to you, so I'm not after your shares... As long as I can continue being your daughter, I can have nothing."

Mr. and Mrs. May were gratified.

Molly watched them with a sneer. 'What a tight bond they share!'

Thud!

Grandpa Dave's expression darkened as he objected immediately, "I object!"

"A person with no blood relation to us has no right to have the May family's shares."

While he was saying this, he stared at Diana coldly with a stony expression.

Lara rebutted, "Dad, it's fine if you don't see Diana as your granddaughter! But we take her as our child! Diana was raised by us, and we have a strong mother-daughter relationship, stronger than you expect... This share is transferred under my name, so I have the right to decide, and I've already made the decision. Don't put the blame on Walter. "

"Y-You..."

Grandpa Dave got so angry that he almost had a heart attack. His hand trembled so much that he could not speak.

Diana was delighted, but she still acted like an obedient child. "Grandpa, though you don't like me, I'll still treat you as my grandfather! I'll still respect and obey you and my parents; Molly too."

"There's no need for that. I don't have a sister," Molly said coldly, and her tone was filled with disdain.

Grandpa Dave was infuriated. "Great, great! Walter and Lara... You've both blatantly broken your real daughter's heart today. Good on you! Since you don't love her, I'll love her as her grandfather..."

Then, Grandpa Dave shouted, "Leonardo, go to my room and get the document in the safe."

Leonardo listened and took the document in a short amount of time.

Grandpa Dave shoved the document to Molly, saying, "Molly, this is twenty percent of my shares. It's all yours. Get a lawyer to settle the transfer when you are free."

Everyone's expression changed immediately after Grandpa Dave said that.

"How is this possible? She's an outsider. What right does she have to take these shares?"

Walter was obviously upset.

Lara was panicking as well. "Dad, don't be foolish! How could this happen?"

'Besides, we still have three sons!

'We are the ones who should have the most shares!

'Molly didn't deserve it!'

Diana's expression was dark as well.

For the past twenty-over years, she had treated this old troll well. But he had been stingy to everyone.

Now, he was actually giving Molly this many shares without any hesitation!

20%!

It was May Group's biggest share!!

Molly was shocked too.

She did not expect Grandpa Dave to make such a decision.

"Grandpa..."

Molly wanted to reject his offer.

If she took over these shares, she might have more troubles in the future. She did not want to have too much involvement with the May family.

"Forget it!"

Grandpa Dave had already made his decision. He stared at Mr. and Mrs. May coldly and told Molly remorselessly, "In the May family, I'll protect you if no one does! These shares belong to me, so I can give them to whoever I want."

He then rolled up his sleeves and walked up the stairs without even waiting for their response.

Molly watched Grandpa Dave leave. Her heart was moved as she knew that Grandpa Dave was supporting her.

He was the only one who was sincere to her in the May family.

Molly had no relationship with Mr. and Mrs. May and Diana, so she could just treat them coldly.

She kept the document with her and said flatly, "Since the contract is revoked, I'll be leaving now."

Molly then turned and was about to leave.

Finally, Walter yelled at her, "Stand right there!"

"Why? Is there anything else?"

Molly looked distant as she asked.

Walter said firmly, "Molly May, you are not a part of the May family. Know your place! You shouldn't take those shares, nor do you have the right to do so! Give that document to me right now!"

He extended his hand, waiting for the document.

Lara nodded as well. "That's right. You can't take it."

Molly laughed!

"Grandpa gave this to me, so why can't I take it? Besides, since you've all decided that I don't belong to the May family, what right do you have to stop me?"

Then, Molly scoffed, stood up straight, and left with pride.

After Molly left, everyone in the room was not looking too good.

Mr. and Mrs. May pulled a long face.

None of them expected Grandpa Dave to do this!

Especially Diana, who was furious about this.

‘I’ve been sucking up to my adoptive parents with all I have for many years. Yet, all I got was two percent of the shares. But Molly actually got twenty percent from the old troll even when she did not do anything!

'Why?!

'Molly already had a bad reputation!

'Why did the old troll favor her so much?!'

As for Adam, he did not expect things to escalate like this as well.

The only reason he chose to marry Diana was that he knew that the May family liked her. Besides, she had some shares.

But now, why would he marry Diana if Molly was the one who had that many shares?

'I should really reconsider this engagement now!

'On top of that, the current Molly was completely different from how she was before. She was a breathtaking beauty.

'Taking the shares into consideration, I can still consider reconciling with Molly!'

Adam was extremely confident that he could win Molly over!

...

After Molly left the May Residence, she did not think of this incident anymore.

She stopped a cab by the road and rushed back to the hotel.

It was rather late now.

She was worried that her three children were starving in the hotel room, so she was rushing the driver throughout her journey back to the hotel. "Mister, please drive faster..."

In the hotel--

The three little ones were already feasting in the restaurant on the first floor!

Alex still kept his mom in mind, so he ordered some takeaway for Molly to eat when she got back.

Then, the three of them held hands and got ready to go back up.

Their endearing and delicate looks had gained a lot of attention as the people complimented them.

"Such cuties... Are they triplets?"

"They have the best genes! I want them!"

"Dearies, what color do you want your burlap sacks to be?"

"..."

The passersby who were attacked by their cuteness could not control their volume.

The little ones were listening to everything they were saying.

Ben smiled as he looked over when he heard them. He then reminded them cutely, "To all you beautiful missuses and misters, your thinking is really dangerous. The policemen would never allow you to do that, so please don't do the wrong thing!"

He was talking as if it had already happened, so everyone was amused.

"This cutie is too fun! Besides, he's beautiful. He'll be extremely handsome when he grows up."

Ben wanted to chime in when Alex suddenly grabbed his hand and hid behind a pillar.

Ben was confused. "What's wrong, Alex?"

Claudia was muddled when she walked over to them as she asked suspiciously, "Why are we hiding? Is there a bad guy around here?"

Alex shook his head and pointed at the exit of the restaurant, saying, "No, look over there... That's the CEO of Anderson Corporation, the man that's probably our daddy!"

The two other siblings looked toward where Alex was pointing and saw Sean!

It was apparent that Sean had just finished his meal as he was leaving the restaurant.

Tony was pushing him, and they were heading toward the elevator.

Alex turned toward Claudia and said, "Claudia, it's your turn to shine!"

Claudia was extremely excited as she was finally meeting her daddy!

She puffed up her chest and responded, "No problem! Leave it to me!"

She then followed Sean and Tony with her tiny legs.

Ding-

At that moment, the elevator doors opened.

Tony was pushing Sean into the elevator.

Sean asked coldly, "What did you find about that woman?"

"The receptionist had already passed us her details. You will be able to see it once you go up!" Tony responded truthfully.

He pressed the elevator button while he was speaking.

The elevator doors were closing...

"Wait up."

Suddenly, a lovely voice rang outside of the elevator.

Sean looked up and saw a little girl in a cute princess dress running toward the elevator.

'If she rushed in like that, she might be squashed by the elevator doors,' Sean thought.

Out of reflex, he extended his arm to block the elevator doors. Fortunately, he managed to stop them, and the doors opened very quickly.

In a short amount of time, the little girl hurried in and leaped to his legs as she hugged them, yelling, "Daddy! Why didn't you wait for me?"

Daddy?

Sean paused.

Tony was stunned too.

‘How did he become somebody’s daddy right after he went downstairs for a meal?’

The elevator door shut and went up slowly.

Both of them looked at the little girl strangely.

Sean frowned and spoke up when he saw that the little girl was not taking her hands off. His voice was deep and nonchalant as he said, “Kid, you got the wrong person. I’m not your daddy!”

Claudia lifted her head up and looked at Sean upon hearing what he said. Her eyes had a sharp contrast of white and black, and they were clear and bright. She tilted her head and blinked her eyes as if she was confused.

Her eyes turned red the next second, and she said, “I... I didn’t get the wrong person. You are my daddy. I’m sure that you are my daddy!”

Her tiny hands grabbed onto Sean’s trousers, and she showed no intention of letting go. “Daddy, why won’t you admit that I’m your daughter? Is it because I’m naughty? I promise I’ll be good. Please don’t disown me!”

The little kid sounded pitiful while she said it in a piteous voice. Her tears were rolling in her eyes, and it was just heartbreaking to look at.

Tony spoke immediately, “Did this kid wander off? Has she mistaken you for her father?”

Sean knew what Tony was trying to say since it was obvious.

However, he needed to explain himself even though this little girl had mistaken him for her dad!

There’s no way that he would just admit it oddly like this.

“Kid, you’ve really got the wrong person. I’m not your daddy! Did you get lost? Do you remember which room you were staying in? I’ll get somebody to send you back.”

Sean looked downward and calmed her. It was rare for him to be so patient.

Claudia shook her head with a firm look on her face as she insisted, “I didn’t get the wrong person. You are my daddy! How could I get the wrong person? Daddy, please don’t chase me away. Are you going to abandon me? Waaah... Please don’t do that! My mommy went out, and I don’t know where my room is.”

Tony immediately arched his brows when he heard this.

‘Is giving birth to a child just a joke to people nowadays?

‘Is that what a mother is supposed to do?!

‘How could she go out and leave a child alone in the hotel?

‘What if something bad happened?

‘She’s too bold!’

“Little girl, do you remember your mother’s phone number?” Tony asked.

Claudia shook her head. She knew nothing at all. “I don’t know. I don’t remember...”

Tony was stumped!

He looked at Sean and let him make his decision.

Sean’s gaze fell on the little kid, and he said flatly, “Get up first. We’ve reached our floor.”

Claudia pouted and stood up reluctantly.

Tony pushed Sean out of the elevator.

The little girl followed helplessly and said softly. “Daddy...”

Sean frowned and looked at the little kid for a while. He had no choice but to order Tony, saying, “Let’s bring her back first and go find out where her parents are!”

They must’ve been the guests in this hotel since she could get in here.

They could be identified easily just by asking the receptionist.

“Yes!”

Tony followed his order and sent them back very quickly. He then left to find out about the background of that little girl.

After that, there were only Sean and the little girl in the suite.

Sean had always been a cold and quiet person. He did not have much experience in dealing with kids either.

Both of them were facing each other. When he looked up, he would see the little kid sitting on the sofa across the room, staring at him.

Sean could not hold it anymore and ask forcefully, “Do you want some water?”

Claudia shook her head.

Actually, she had been studying this man in front of her.

Although it was said that this man was still allegedly her daddy for now.

However, she had an extra pleasant feeling when she got close to him just now.

Additionally, he looked particularly attractive. There was a recognizable resemblance between him and her brothers if she looked closely... This man could really be her daddy!

She could not control her excitement anymore when she thought about this.

She had to complete her mission no matter what!

After being rejected by the little girl, Sean still went to pour a glass of water anyway. Then, he frowned and started hitting his legs.

His injured legs were sore from his bad sleep last night.

Claudia could not help but walk over to him heartily after seeing that. She said to Sean with her naïve and ingenuous voice, “Daddy, do your legs feel uncomfortable? I’ll help you massage them, okay? My massaging skills are very good!”

Without even waiting for Sean's response, her tiny hands were already on his legs as she massaged him gently.

Sean was shocked. He realized that the little girl’s method is quite structured even though she was so young. Even though her strength was limited, it was enough to soothe his discomfort.

He was surprised as he looked at the little girl uncontrollably.

‘She’s so young, but she’s so sensible and sweet. She even knows how to massage too. I’m pretty sure that she’d been specially trained to do this!’

His gaze softened a little when he was thinking about that. “Thank you,” he said.

Claudia flashed him a smile upon hearing that. “You’re welcome!”

...

At the same time, Molly was still rushing back to the hotel.

More than ten minutes had passed by the time she reached the hotel.

She saw two familiar little figures right after she got down the car. They rushed to her from the revolving doors and hugged her legs as they said frightenedly, “Mommy! This is bad! Claudia is missing!”

‘What?’

Molly could not process what the two of them had just said to her. “What happened?”

She had only left for a while. How did Claudia go missing?!
