Peterson's shares
1408 Words
Five years ago, he saw Anastasia’s and his other son’s bodies being sent into the crematorium and burned to ashes with his own eyes. How could they possibly still be alive?
Shaken by the coldness in her eyes, Annabelle dared not look at her and approached Adam. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Brother, this is our father’s home. If it's gone, I don’t know what to do in the future. I had no choice but to withdraw my shares. The Grey family can't fall apart.”
Lady Judy being a minion nodded her head in agreement,” Yes.”
Adam seemed to not have heard them, and with a stern and imposing manner, he walked towards Anna and grabbed her wrist tightly, and the skin that was being crushed turned red in an instant.
Anna frowned, “Sir, please restrain yourself!” she said coldly.
Adam stared down at her, “Anastasia, who even taught you how to fake your death?”
As he spoke, he tightened his grip even more, as if he wanted to crush her fragile bones.
Anna’s heart ached, and she furrowed her brows. She shook his hand off and gently rubbed her wrist that had been hurt by him.
She raised her cold gaze and then smiled her lips curling up like a flower, “I have to say is this how the famous Mr Peterson usually approach girls? Your method is pathetic.”
Adam looked at her rosy lips and the coquettishness in her brows, and for a moment, he was stunned.
The woman in front of him seemed to have Anastasia’s face, but it wasn’t Anastasia’s soul. In his memory, that woman never showed him such a smile.
His eyes darkened, and suddenly, the atmosphere around them became colder. An indescribable sense of oppression came over them.
He looked at Anna’s face with a fierce expression and asked, “Anastasia what game are you playing with me?”
Lady Judy swallowed her saliva and nervously held Annabelle’s hand.
Annabelle’s lips curled up, knowing that this woman had the same face as her mother’s killer, Adam must have bad intentions on her. So she will sit and watch her being destroyed by him.
She gently patted her mother’s hand to comfort her silently.
Anna met his gaze fearlessly as if she were looking at a stranger who was of no importance.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “Mr Peterson, I think you may misunderstood something. My name is Anna Gray with an a instead of e. Maybe you have mistaken me for your friend I guess, I won't apologize. But you..”
She paused, and her smile gradually turned cold. This was her current identity. The former Anastasia had died in prison a long time ago.
Her eyes turned cold, and she took out her business card from her bag and pressed it against his chest. She spoke casually, “You hurt my hand for no reason and scared me. I will let my lawyer give you a list of mental and physical damages, and you can pay with this card since I heard you are not short on money.”
Adam’s gaze fell on her slender hand, and the red nail polish was like her seductive personality. The fingertips were white with a hint of red.
His expression gradually became deep.
She was the first woman who dared to ask him for mental damages!
Very bold!
Seeing that he didn’t speak, Anna’s eyes were full of curiosity. She directly put the business card into the pocket of his suit.
After retracting her hand, she lightly patted it as if she had touched something showing a slight disgust.
Annabelle and Lady Judy were confused by this scene.
It was not what they had imagined.
Surprisingly, Adam did not push her away.
This woman was trying to seduce Adam!
Anna looked coldly at Annabelle and said, “I hope I was crystal clear before Miss Grey, time’s up!”
This tone showed that a crisis was about to begin.
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand. Immediately, more than ten bodyguards rushed in and started throwing their personal belongings out of the gate.
Annabelle was stunned and quickly tried to stop them all to no avail. One of the bodyguards impatiently threw her to the ground.
Annabelle cried out in pain and looked at Adam with tears in her eyes, “Brother, my father is still in the hospital. If he wakes up and finds out that our home has been taken over, he won't be able to handle it. Please, in consideration of the relationship between our families, return the shares to us.”
Adam looked at Anna, who was cold and indifferent, as the bodyguards continued to wreak havoc. She was unmoved even when Patrick Grey was mentioned.
Anastasia’s filial piety was well-known in the whole mall. Perhaps, he had made a mistake?
No!
How could two people look so similar in this world?
He didn’t believe it. She wouldn’t show any signs of it.
“wait!’
Anna looked at him and revealed a hint of her bare arm, raising her eyebrows.
“Mr Peterson, are you planning to compensate me now?”
“stop your people. They can repay the part of the debt that the Grey enterprise owes.”
Anna’s lips curved with interest. “oh, how am interested?”
Belle’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that Adam wouldn’t be so heartless to her. She looked at him pitifully and called out, “Brother Adam.”
“Mr Grey owns ten percent of the shares in my company. After they are liquidated, they will far exceed the funds that Grey Enterprise owes. As long as you return Grey enterprise to the Grey family, ten percent of the shares will be transferred to your name.”
Belle panicked, “No way!”
Anna ignored her rebuttal and felt the deep and unfathomable gaze of Adam. She tensed up and deliberately called him “uncle” instead of “father”, testing him on purpose!
What a scheming man.
If she agreed directly, her identity would be exposed.
She looked at him indifferently and asked in a formulaic manner, “Who is Uncle Grey and where is he?”
Adam’s eyes were full of scrutiny and his thin lips moved, “The chairman of Grey Enterprise, Patrick Gre,y and he has been in a coma for five years.”
Anna lightly hooked her lips and said, “If you had proposed this plan earlier, why bother with such a big fanfare?”
After speaking, she clapped her hands.
All the bodyguards stopped their actions and respectfully walked towards Anna, standing behind her and ready at all times.
The momentum was no less than that of Adam.
Belle was extremely flustered and could not let her father’s shares in Peterson Corporation be transferred to someone else.
She shook her head and said, “Brother Adam, you need my father’s approval before you can do this!”
Adam asked, “Is Grey Corporation important or is the ten percent of the shares important more?”
ladyJudy’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly persuaded her daughter, “Grey Corporation is your father’s blood and sweat. Now that Mr Peterson is willing to give you this opportunity, of course, you should take it back.”
Belle tightly bit her lips and stared at her, indicating that she should not speak too much.
Her mother was just a housewife who had been at home for a long time. How could she understand the cutthroat competition in the business world?”
Today’s Grey Corporation was no longer the same as it was years ago. Her father had been in a coma for many years, and the hearts of the senior management and shareholders had long since collapsed.
Even if we regain the company, it will still be a scattered mess. However, the ten percent share of the Peterson company is different. From the current perspective, the economic benefits after liquidation are the most one million different from their company, but she believes that under the leadership of Adam, it will be stronger than ten Grey companies in less than two years. “Adam, listen to me…”Belle’s eyes were full of contempt, but Adam interrupted her calmly, “Do you have the right to speak here?”
