    Despite not being a member of the Thompson family, Shane had assigned one of his men to keep an


    eye on her.


    Therefore, Ss knew she had left town.


    “Mr. Shane, I did an inventory count on Sam''s assets. Please have a look at the report.” Ss handed a


    stack of papers to Shane.


    He epted them, and Natalie leaned in to take a curious peek with him.


    She eximed at theundry list of holdings, “That''s almost a few times more than Harrison''s wealth.”


    Shane thumbed through the documents and exined, “When Grandpa left Thompson Group to my


    father, every capital asset, antiquity, jewelry, and cash was bequeathed to Sam. Converting everything


    to cash, they are worth a third of Thompson Group.”


    Natalie sucked in a breath audibly. “Isn''t that thirty billion?”


    “That''s right.” Shane nodded.


    She tsked. “He wasn''t content with thirty billion, and he had to covet Thompson Group? Thepany


    may have a worth of a few hundred billion, but he couldn''t liquidate more than ten billion. He got off


    easy, in my opinion.”


    “Yes, but he wasn''t thinking like that. He wanted everything,” Shane said lightly, his eyes downcast.


    Natalie''s gazended on the papers. “These assets don''t amount to thirty billion, though.”


    “He squandered most of it.” A sardonic sneer shed in Shane''s eyes. “Sam might have acquired a


    substantial amount of money, but it''s not equivalent to Thompson Group, whiches with power and


    status. Hence, he tried to establish apany superior to Thompson Group. The thing is, he wasn''t


    capable of achieving it and chose to invest all his assets. In the end, he lost most of it.”


    Natalie snickered. “He did all that for nothing? He was incapable, yet he couldn''t swallow his


    disgruntlement. I don''t know if I shouldmend him or...”


    She didn''t finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she meant.


    Shane closed a file and reached for another one. “He probably finally realized he didn''t have what it


    takes to start apany on the same footing as Thompson Group. Otherwise, these remaining assets


    would have been gone as well.”


    “How much are these worth in total now?” Shane pointed at the pile of documents and asked Ss who


    was standing aside.


    Ss adjusted his sses. “Approximately five billion.”


    Natalie pursed her lips, musing, “He did have a ir for blowing his inheritance worth thirty billion down


    to only five billion.”


    Shane was expressionless. The figure he had in his mind was in the ballpark of Ss'' answer.


    Ss had only confirmed his suspicions.


    “What are you going to do about this, Shane?” Natalie asked.


    By logic, Sam was survived by his son, Sean, and the assets should go to him.


    However, Sean wasn''t in the country now and held a grudge against Shane. Thus, Shane was debating


    if he should relinquish the inheritance to him.


    Shane gave a cursory nce over the documents. “ce the cash, jewelry, and antiquities in the bank


    for safekeeping. Leave the properties and cars as-is. Transfer all thepany shares into a shell


    ount. Once we get our hands on Sean, we''ll decide what to do with it.”


    Truthfully, what Sean did was vile but didn''t warrant death.


    He didn''t have blood on his hands and would be sentenced to twenty years in prison at most. Shane


    wasn''t remotely interested in these holdings and was more than willing to hand them over to Sean once


    he was out.


    If Sean took a life and were given the death penalty, Shane would set up a charity foundation and use


    the assets to help the needy.
