I understand that originally the Shelley’s/Thompson’s were helping Anna escape Larry B, by purchasing the mansion for her. However, imho, it appeared as though they had changed sides and were supporting Larry in his efforts to prove he was Dannielynn’s dad.
Further evidence of that was Ben Thompson’s offer made public by Pinder, to allow Larry and/or Virgie to stay in Horizons with baby DL, if Larry was proven to be the dad.
You might very well be right about Ben having a test done to see if he could be DL’s daddy. I wonder if we’ll ever know what Anna told Ford Shelley to do, in case of her death??? He sure seemed to imply foul play had cause her death early on.
I don’t know that much about G. Ben (other than what has been posted here) and he, personally, has been relatively quite throughout this ordeal, but Ford Shelley is another ‘bird’ altogether. He is ‘quirky’ to say the least. He seemed to be a major player in helping to get ANS ‘out of the US and set up as a Bahamian resident’. Then, he seemed to ‘hate’ HKS due to what happened to his daughter at the time of the ‘clown video’, and yet he turned right around in Seidlin’s Courtroom and basically ‘praised’ HKS and said ANS should be buried in the Bahamas! Then again, he defended himself on TV for ‘procuring Anna’s belongings, as she supposedly told him to’! He is a walking, talking contradiction, IMO....I certainly cannot figure him out!
