[Chapter 150]
The next day, David took Wayne and Gordon to his Uncle Bobby's house.
Based on what David knew about Uncle Bobby and Aunt Karen, it was absolutely impossible that they obediently hand over the compensation.
Therefore, the previous night, David contacted the best lawyer in River City and sent the agreement to the other party.
Because of the agreement in hand, the other party claimed that there were almost no doubts when it came to this lawsuit.
The lawyer should also have been on his way to Shu City by then.
Moreover, he used some relationships to conduct the people in the court system. The other party said that as long as the evidence was conclusive, it would be dealt with as quickly as possible.
Uncle Bobby's residence was located in the suburbs of Shu City. It was a self-built house with three floors, and it was built together by David's father and David's Uncle Bobby.
In other words, half of this house was actually David's, but after David's custody was awarded to Bobby, the house naturally fell under Bobby's ownership.
David and his gang soon came to Bobby's house. 1
Upon entering the yard, they saw that Aunt Karen watering the flowers in the yard. After she saw David coming, she snorted and turned back to the house.
It was obvious that she did not welcome David.
David brought Wayne and Gordon into the house.
Since it was Saturday, Bobby's family of four were all home.
There were his Uncle Bobby, Aunt Karen, and cousins Felicia and Quin.
However, when they saw David, none of them wanted to pay any attention to him. They simply watched television while minding their own business.
David smiled nonchalantly and walked to the center of the living room. Then, he placed the agreement in his hand on the coffee table and said, "Bobby, this is the agreement you signed back then. Hurry up and give me my parents' compensation. I won't make things hard for you. I don't want this house, and I'll just treat it as a fee for staying here for the past few years."
David did not address Bobby as Uncle Bobby anymore, he straight up called him by his name. David was traumatized by his uncle after staying here for so many years.
"What agreement? What compensation? I don't know anything. David, don't listen to the nonsense spewed by Aunt Sally and the rest. There's no such thing," Bobby denied.
"Bobby, don't you think it's meaningless for you to not admit to it? It's written in black and white, and there was a record taken in the court at the time. Do you think you can just play dumb?"
Bobby did not speak, but Karen started screaming.
"David, you unscrupulous brat, do you think we didn't spend money on you all those years you lived here? We provided you with food, clothes, and daily necessities. Let me tell you, your parents' compensation was all spent on you. There's not a single penny left."
David found a stool and sat down. He said, "Come, help me do the math. How did I spend two million as
a teenager? If you can calculate it for me, I won't ask for the money back."
"Do you think clothes, food, and daily necessities are free?" Karen exclaimed.
"I remember that when I lived here for a few years, I ate the food you had leftover and I wore clothes that Felicia wore. You asked me to go to school as a boy in girls' clothes, yet you dare to say out loud that you spent money on me? As for daily necessities, did you ever give me a penny while I was studying? It was all funded by Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana, okay?"
Karen was speechless and said rascally, "Anyway, your parents' money has been spent on you a few years ago. There's nothing left to ask for."
David picked up the agreement on the coffee table and said, "Look closely. It's clearly written here on the agreement, which Bobby signed. Plus, the court also has a record of it, If you don't fulfill it, I will sue you in court."
"Go ahead! We're not scared. The money's already gone anyway," Karen said, seemingly fearless.
"Think closely then. With this proof and the record in court, there are no doubts anymore. When the time comes and you're being labeled as dishonest executors, not only will your assets be frozen, but it'll also even affect Felicia's work," David smiled and said.
From what David knew, his cousin Felicia was working in a bank in Shu City. She also got in after Bobby did everything he could to pull some strings.
If they were labeled as dishonest executors, it would definitely affect Felicia's work since she was working in a bank and her parents were dishonest. That was why David said that.
Indeed, when David said that, Bobby's entire family was shocked.
They pulled so many strings to get Felicia her job. Their daughter was working in a bank and they were very proud of her. If this case affected Felicia's work, then it would be very serious.
Felicia panicked. The bank valued trust the most, and if her parents were dishonest executors, it would really affect her. They might even find a chance to fire her.
Being able to work in a bank was very advantageous in their small county. She often showed off in her circle of friends and classmates. If this was gone, how would she live?
Thinking of this, Felicia looked at her parents with some resentment.
"David, don't mess around. Let me tell you, if you dare to interfere with Feli's work, I will never forgive you!" Bobby threatened.
Bobby had always beaten David since he was small, so even after high school, David was a little scared t o see him.
Although he did not know why David dared to ask for the money back today, he had a psychological advantage over David.
"Bobby, how do you intend to punish me? I really want to know. Will you still run around the yard and beat me like when I was a kid? You can try it now."
After David finished speaking, his smiling face suddenly turned serious.
Bobby's words reminded him of his tragic childhood.
Back then, whenever Bobby did something wrong, he would push the blame onto David and then David would be beaten horribly.
Whenever the family was in a bad mood, they would also beat David to vent their anger.
They would use a very thin stick to beat him. So, it was normal for David to be covered in wounds which hurt a lot.
Things became better when he asked to stay in a dormitory when he was in junior high. Back then, he rarely came back whenever there was a break. He would only go to Aunt Sally or Aunt Diana's house.
He only moved to Aunt Sally's house when he was in senior high, thus leaving this traumatizing family behind.
