Chapter 718

“Are you worried that Grandpa will track me down for beating her? Or does she have the guts to tell that to Grandpa?” Kara gnashed her teeth and said.

Kara was very disgusted with her uncle and his men.

Kara wished she could give Judy a good beating.

“There are so many people here today. If her face is red and swollen, people with ulterior motives will certainly get something on us even if she does not dare to explain,” said Dan who was a little calmer than his sister.

He didn’t feel the need to rely on beating someone up to deal with his uncle.

After hearing what Dan said, Kara thought for a while and put her hand down. Then she glared at Judy, who looked pitiful, and said snappishly, “You’re lucky today. I won’t be so kind to you next time.”

Then Kara stood up and left in high heels.

In a flash, there were only Dan and Judy in the ancestral hall.

Dan looked sideways at Judy who was still crying over there. He thought,

David was quite fond of Judy.

If Judy coaxed David and asked him for some shares, he would be swayed.

After all, Judy had no one to rely on after Tom’s death.

David was a soft–hearted person, and he would not let Judy survive without the support. and struggle to live in the Baker family.

After thinking for a while, Dan moved his long legs and slowly walked to the girl who was still crying. He said in an emotionless way, “Stop crying. Do you want to leave the Baker family?”

Judy lifted her tear–stained face when she heard Dan’s voice. She looked at the handsome and cool man in front of her with some consternation.

Judy thought,

Judy felt that Dan should be taking advantage of her as well.

Thinking of this, Judy pursed her lips slightly and nodded.

Dan said, “Then you should choose a new side. I won’t treat you badly. I can even send you abroad. Think about it.”

After hearing that, Judy was stunned for a while. She was satisfied with his offer.

She wanted to leave if she could.

But when she thought of Tom’s mother had threatened her with the orphanage where she was staying, she couldn’t bear to leave behind the director of the orphanage and the children and friends who were there.

So even though she wanted to say yes, she lowered her head and didn’t look at Dan. Then she said in a low voice, “Dan, thank you for your kindness.”

After hearing that, Dan was surprised. Dan thought, “What does she mean by that? Does she explicitly refuse to take my side?”

Dan squinted and said, “Since you have chosen my uncle, we are enemies from now on.”

Judy’s mind was in turmoil. She did not choose which side to take. She bit her lip and said, “I…”

She didn’t want to choose anyone. She had no right to choose.

Everyone was using her as a pawn. If she chose Dan, Tom’s parents would go against the orphanage director.

And no one would stand up for her.

What else could she do?

Dan had no time to chat with her and said coldly, “Be careful.” Then he left the ancestral

hall.

Judy watched him leave. She knew that from the moment she refused to take his side. just now, they could only be enemies.

Thinking of this, Judy couldn’t help but shed tears again.

She wanted to know how she could escape from the Baker family.

Dan walked out of the ancestral hall in a bit of anger and walked toward Evan who came

to see him. They two almost bumped into each other. Evan stopped and looked at Dan’s somewhat angry look, and then Evan looked in the direction of the ancestral hall.

“Who made you angry?” Evan asked.

When Dan thought of Judy’s insensitive behavior, he became a bit agitated. He took out two cigarettes from his pocket. He handed one cigarette to Evan and bit the other in his mouth. He then lit the cigarette and blew smoke rings into the air, saying, “My uncle arranged for her to serve my Grandpa. My Grandpa knows that she lives a poor life and has always been very compassionate to her. If she keeps persuading my Grandpa, my Grandpa might give up the remaining 30% of the shares in his hands.”

It was not impossible.
