Chapter 730:
Herbert nodded.
“When did you find out?” I asked.
“When that happened, I suspected it was him. I didn’t expect it to really be him,” Herbert replied.
Hearing this, I frowned.
“Then why didn’t you mention it to me?”
The corner of Herbert’s lips twitched.
“At that time, you were very biased against me. Even if I said it, would you have believed me? You would probably think that I was intentionally slandering Klein.”
Indeed, at that time, I wouldn’t have believed anything he said, especially if he spoke ill of Klein. Thinking about the past, I suddenly felt a little heavy in my heart. I took a deep breath and then looked back at William and the young, beautiful woman sitting not far away.
“A while ago, Klein helped William win the inheritance case,” Herbert suddenly said.
Hearing this, I looked back and couldn’t help frowning as I looked at Herbert and asked, “An inheritance case?”
Herbert explained, “Perhaps William was forced into a corner. Daniel listens to Connie a lot. If this continues, he’ll probably transfer the entire family fortune to her and her daughter. Also, William was probably forced to marry Emma, so he made a desperate bet and asked Klein to help him carry out a lawsuit. He decided to inherit the inheritance left behind by his mother.”
“What’s the result?” I asked.
I could understand William’s situation. His father had gone too far, forcing his son to marry his wife’s daughter. That was too much. Connie was obviously with him for money. If William didn’t make a move, she would probably finish off all of Daniel’s money in a few years.
“In the end, William inherited twenty-five percent of the entire Ye family’s assets, because Daniel also holds the inheritance rights to his mother’s fifty percent of the assets,” Herbert explained. Even with twenty-five percent, it would still be a significant amount. Otherwise, William wouldn’t have received a single cent.
“Daniel was very angry about his son’s lawsuit against him, so now William has been expelled from his house. This matter became a joke in the upper class of A City for a while, but everyone sympathizes with William. At least William won the public’s opinion,” Herbert continued.
I looked into his eyes and asked with a smile, “Did you participate in it?”
At my question, Herbert pursed his lips.
“Back then, I owed William a big favor, so I needed to return it to him. There used to be a lot of business opportunities between the Capgemini Company and the Wharton Group. Whether it was out of justice or selfish motives, I had to help William collect evidence,” he explained.
Hearing that, I nodded, then asked, “Do you owe William a favor because of me?”
Herbert smiled and pinched my hand.
