Thomas Allison indeed had his eye on the current estate of the Allison Family, especially the now-thriving Allison Corporation, and he was very envious.
Back when Mr. Allison was allocating the family estate, Thomas had caused a major disaster leading to significant losses for the Allison Corporation and was severely scolded by Mr. Allison. As a result, he did not dare to question Mr. Allison's distribution and watched as the family's power was handed over to his elder brother, Nathan Allison.
All he received was some real estate and cash, enough to leisurely enjoy his life.
But he was someone who couldn't sit still for long, and soon squandered everything he received. He didn't dare let Mr. Allison know, so he secretly asked Nathan Allison for financial support.
Nathan told him to earn his own money and wouldn't give him an extra penny. He then arranged for Thomas a relaxed position within the company, thus forcing Thomas to live modestly on a salary for more than a decade.
