The Dilemma of Parker

Chapter22

"Right, well this will was made just before Tamia's mother passed away. I was also her lawyer and she made it very clear of what was to happen. This will is linked to your grandmothers will. Your grandmother left everything to Parker. She had a 50% stake in the company which is now run by you Leon, that goes to Parker. Tamia was left the other 50% which will be divided between her four children" John stated.

"That's not going to happen. Tamia was my wife, that bitch won't see a cent" Mr Jones yelled. "Sit down before I remove you from this office" Leanne stated. "From my understating you are her ex husband and have no claim so goodbye" Leanne added. "Leon, do not allow this to happen" Mr Jones yelled. "Are you kidding me? Get the hell out father. Leon you try to take this from Parker and I'll give her my cut of the company too" Jude raged out.

Leanne was shocked and looked at Jude wondering if the man was serious. "Jude" Mr Jones stated before security came into the room and removed Mr Jones. "I run the company, Parker doesn't have control" Leon stated. "Actually she is now majority owner of the business, the rest of the assets are to be divided equally. Your grandmother was the one that did this because she was aware of what your father was going to do. There is also a clause that if the will is contested the entire company be handed over to Parker. Even with majority share, Leon is still to run the business with both of you beside him" John added.

Jude was happy, finally Parker wasn't being overlooked. He had been doing a lot of work on himself since Parker took off. He hated how he had treated Parker. He was seeing a psychologist to better himself. He wanted to be a better man for himself and for Parker if she ever gave him a chance to be in her life. He saw how toxic his father and mother both were in there own right. He also saw how toxic he had become and took steps to change that. Leon and Tanner were toxic as well but he couldn't get them to see that. Jude knew they would lose Parker if their behaviour didn't change.

"Find a loop hole. My mother had a nervous breakdown" Leon spat. "Actually if you paid attention, this will was created years ago, before your mother's breakdown. I will uphold the clause of you losing everything if you contest this. I will pull all medical records of your mothers and fathers, along with Parker's to rain down so much shit on you that you will be digging until the day you die. Don't try my Mr Jones. John, my client wants a copy of her mother's and her grandmothers will" Leanne stated. Things were about to get interesting.

Leanne had a copy of both wills and made the call to Richard and Parker once the Jones men had left the office. Leon had lost it after John had explained there was no loop hole. John's father had designed both wills that if anyone tried to contest it, they would ultimately lose and be liable for all legal fees. Jude had torn strips off his brothers after kicking his father out. Tanner had sat quietly horrified that his father told the lawyer to destroy Parker. Leon soon realised he was behaving just like his father and felt sick to his stomach.

Parker was stunned that she now owned the business and basically her brothers as well. If they tried to hurt her, they would lose everything. She thought she would be left with nothing but she was left with more then she would ever need or want. She had no desire to be involved in the business at all. She also had no desire to work with her so called brothers. Parker, William and Richard discussed how she could use the business to help others but never have to step foot into the actual business. Things were getting to much for Parker, and they were only just getting started.

The next day was spent in the police station with Parker's lawyer, giving a detailed account of the abuse that had happen to her growing up. She had one senior office come in an apologise half way through her statement for letting her down. She had reported to him on several occasions and he had basically laughed in her face. He realised how much he had stuffed up when Tamia had gone into the station two weeks after Parker had taken off to file a report against her husband for the abuse against Parker. He had been a young cop who was lead by the old school officers that were completely bias against Aboriginal people.
