Chapter 338 - 338: I am Abigail's Brother
Chapter 338: Chapter 338: I am Abigail’s Brother
After getting out of the car, Abigail entered a nearby café and sent a location to the Midsummer Trust.
Twenty minutes later, a distinguished mixed-race man in his twenties approached Abigail. “Hello, I am Daniel, CEO of Midsummer Trust.”
Abigail was stunned. So young? And a foreigner?
“Hello, I am Abigail Green.” Abigail stood up.
Daniel glanced at the girl, who recently had been a hot topic in the circles. “I have heard a lot about you.”
Abigail skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point. “…May I see the contract?”
“Sure.” Daniel handed the contract to Abigail.
After reading it, Abigail’s mind was a bit dazed. Was it really Piers’ shares?
“Which Piers?” Abigail was still in a daze.
“Swallow City Piers Group.” Daniel didn’t expect the girl in front of him to be so carefree. He even suspected she hadn’t checked the balance on her card.
Abigail thought she had heard wrong. “You…are sure?”
How could her biological mother have five percent of the Piers’ shares?

“The contract should be very clear.” Daniel smiled. His blue eyes seemed like the sea.
Abigail was taken aback. This level of attractiveness could even rival Brandon Piers.
But perhaps because she had seen many handsome men in her family, Abigail had become immune to beauty. She quickly reviewed the contract again, and after confirming there were no issues, couldn’t help but ask, “Does your company happen to know the origin of my mother’s shares?”
“This isn’t within our work scope, but I can tell you that your mother entrusted it to our company fifteen years ago. Besides that, your share dividends, part of them are in your account, part of them managed by our company, and a small portion used for the construction of several orphanages in Gills City as per Mrs. Swift’s instructions,” Daniel’s puts perfect Mandarin on display with his mixed-race face.
Abigail was shocked after hearing this. She hadn’t expected her biological mother to plan so thoroughly and secure such a large fortune for her daughter.
But wait…fifteen years ago?
Abigail looked at Daniel in disbelief. “Did you say how many years ago it was entrusted to you?”
“Fifteen years ago. Is there any problem, Miss Green?” Daniel was puzzled.
There was a big problem!
Abigail thought to herself. Wasn’t it said that her biological mother died shortly after giving birth to her? How could it be that fifteen years ago, she was still able to entrust the property to an overseas company like Midsummer Trust? Had she come back to life?
Although she had been reborn, such an incident wasn’t impossible; it was too illogical!
“Are you sure it was my…mother who handled it personally?” Abigail asked Daniel hesitantly, looking at his young and beautiful face.
“Of course not. It was handled by your mother’s friend,” Daniel replied with a smile.
Abigail breathed a sigh of relief, but Daniel added, “My father said that Mrs. Swift was already seriously ill at that time, so it was handled by someone else.”
Just when Abigail thought everything made sense, she was shocked again. So Mrs. Swift was still alive fifteen years ago, but why did everyone say her biological mother had died shortly after childbirth?
Abigail felt her head was a bit overwhelmed.
What in the world was going on?
“Miss Green?”
“Ah, oh, please continue.” Daniel called Miss Green a few times in a soft voice before Abigail came back to her senses.
“If there are no issues with the contract, can you sign it?” Daniel reminded.
Abigail gave a light hum, reviewed the contract again, feeling both doubtful and deeply impressed by her biological mother’s planning.
The huge fortune left behind wasn’t simply kept by Midsummer Trust but was divided into three parts.
One part was for her expenses, one part managed by Midsummer to ensure a long-term economic source, and the other part was used for charity.
Abigail grew increasingly curious about that woman who had passed away and felt sorry for her biological self.
She had the best mother in the world, but unfortunately… they were both women with hard lives.
Her heart ached slightly. She signed her name on the last page. Thinking about Lincoln Green, she asked, “May I keep it a secret that I have obtained the shares?”
If Lincoln Green knew she had acquired the shares, it would lead to endless entanglements again. Recently, Ruby Green and the younger master of the second branch of the Piers had gotten close. She suspected it was because of these shares.
Before dealing with this mother and daughter, she didn’t want any extra complications.
And regarding Brandon Piers…
Hearing that Minnie Swift left Abigail this crucial five percent of Piers’ shares made it hard for her to stop thinking about it.
She vividly remembered that man had known she was the real mother of the child, yet he chose to reject her to marry Ruby Green. As for the sudden change of heart and his attitude at the engagement ceremony, she never understood before.
Abigail looked down at the contract in front of her. Maybe it was because of this?
For some reason, just thinking about it raised an inexplicable sense of pain in her heart. Pressing and rubbing her temples, she heard Daniel say with a smile, “Of course, it is our duty. If Miss Green has any other requests within our scope of work, I will also do my best to assist you.”
Abigail looked at the sunny young man in front of her. Who could have thought he was the president of Midsummer Trust? After thinking for a while, Abigail asked, “Can you do me a favor?”
“Please go ahead.”
Abigail knew it was a difficult request but decided to try.
Daniel was slightly surprised after hearing it, but instead of directly answering Abigail, he asked an unrelated question. “Miss Green, why did you spend two billion to buy Dr. Smith’s surgical knives?”
Abigail was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“Just curious.” Daniel quickly explained.
Abigail hadn’t expected Daniel to ask this. She sighed lightly, “I wanted to cherish something she valued. Is that reason enough?”
Besides the surgical knives, there were many things she wanted to cherish; the relatives, friendships, and her own life that she had once overlooked. Those surgical knives were her regret and also her reminder.
“Then please cherish them well,” Daniel said, bowing solemnly to Abigail after finishing.
Abigail said, “You are Dr. Smith’s…?” She couldn’t remember knowing such a handsome mixed-race guy in her previous life!
“I am her brother, so I will fulfill your request.” Daniel answered sincerely.
Abigail, “Cough-cough…” A brother?
She had a mixed-race younger brother?
Abigail was curious and wanted to ask more when Daniel’s phone rang. She saw the other party happily exclaim, “Sister, I am in Gills City. I’ll return to France after handling some matters.”
That tone sounded more like a child.
When Abigail heard him address her as “sister” so familiarly, she suddenly thought, she certainly had no brother. He might be a former patient. When she was in Cleveland, she had mixed-race patients, and those boys liked to call her sister. Maybe he was one of them.
She had performed too many surgeries over the years and couldn’t remember many patients.
“Miss Green, I have some matters to attend to. Goodbye,” Daniel said, ending the call in a good mood and getting up to leave.
Abigail watched as he left and couldn’t help but shake her head. How could this guy manage such a big trust company?
But… Sister? If she really had such a younger brother, it wouldn’t feel bad.
Unfortunately, where was her mother?
