taking back her father's shares
1476 Words
Belle was shocked and bit her lip before saying, “I am Grey Patrick’s only surviving daughter. Whether the shares need to be transferred or not, it’s up to me and my mother to decide.”
“Okay!”Anna licked her lips and looked at Adam. “Since Ms Grey is Uncle Patrick’s daughter doesn’t agree, everything is off the table right!’
After speaking, she looked back at Lady Judy and her daughter. “Get out of here!”
Annabelle didn’t want to let go of either end and could only look pitifully at Adam, “Brother Adam, if you me half of the shares back, I can solve the deficit.”
Adam pursed his lips. “The shares of the Peterson family cannot be returned, only transferred.”
“Then can you transfer them to me?”
Adam shook his head. “Your father needs to sign off on it.”
Belle didn’t understand and asked with red eyes, “Didn’t you just say that we could use this ten percent of the shares to get the Grey Cooperation back?”
At this point, Adam’s assistant spoke up. “Miss Grey, because the Grey Cooperation is your father’s company and asset, and then the ten percent of the shares of the Peterson are also under his control, his shareholder can be converted, but not returned.”
Then, Alfred looked at Anna again. “Now that the Grey business is in your hands, we have already estimated its value before coming here. Currently, the Grey business is only worth seven percent of the shares under the Peterson group, and the two percent of the shares can be used to make up for the deficit of the Grey family. Therefore, you can take away eight percent of the shares of the Peterson family, while the remaining two percent will still be in the hands of Mr Patrick Grey.”
He then looked at Lady Judy and her daughter. “The Peterson family can use the transfer of shares to help you solve the financial crisis, but in the future, Grey business group will be under the Peterson group industry. This is the price you need to pay.”
Upon hearing this, Belle’s face turned pale and she clenched her fingertips tightly.
She had thought that Adam would help her, but he was an ambitious businessman.
What he wanted was the company after all.
Not only did the company disappear, but even the shares were only left with two percent…
She should have refused but what would they do in that situation? This was too stressful.
But if she did, she would be kicked out of the house by the evil witch here, owing a huge debt, and would no longer be the second young lady of the Grey family.
How will she allow herself to fall from grace and become an ugly duckling overnight from her usual proud swan?
At this moment, Adam’s cool voice sounded, “Miss Gray, what do you think of this plan?”
He didn’t need to ask Belle at all, because, at this moment, she had no right to refuse.
Anna looked at him and felt inexplicably that his voice had become heavier when he called her.
His eyes were full of alienation as if no one could enter his eyes.
He was a person who was above all interests. Before coming here, he had already prepared to make her father leave the Peterson family because her father was no longer healthy and could not create greater benefits for the Peterson family company.
This is the cruelty of the business world.
However, the Grey company belonged to her father, and the ten percent of the shares of the Peterson companies also belonged to her father.
Only children make choices, but she wanted both!
She lightly hooked her red seductive lips and said, “Your plan is not bad, but I want fifty percent of the Grey Cooperation shares! Therefore, I can give you half of the Peterson groups seven percent of the shares .”
Only if both sides of the equity belong to her father, can she have a chance to take back what belongs to her father and hold it in her hands!
Alfred didn’t speak. Things were already different from what he had expected, so he could only look at Adam and let him make the decision.
It was likely that Mr Peterson would not agree.
After all, with the current development trend of the Peterson family, they were far ahead of the Grey business. The purpose of coming here was to strip PatrickGrey away from the Peterson group, wasn’t it?”
How could they give up such a good opportunity?
Adam’s thin lips moved,” Deal.”
Alfred was stunned, looking at him incredulously.
He agreed, was it because the woman in front of him looked exactly like Anastasia Grey?
Annabelle felt her head buzzing.
So, not only did she lose the Grey business, but she also lost eight percent of the shares.
She quickly trembled and said, “Brother Adam, please, for the sake of my father’s friendship with the Peterson Grandpa, just return two percent of the shares to me to make up for the loss. Don’t take away eight percent.”
When this matter was brought up, Adam exuded a chilling sense of oppression all over his body. His gaze intentionally or unintentionally fell on Anna, then he turned to Annabelle, his voice extremely cold and devoid of any emotions, “The friendship between our families had long been broken five years ago right?”
Anna’s heart tightened as she knew he was deliberately saying this to her, trying to test her.
Until now, he still suspected that she was Anastasia Grey the woman whom he did not care about until her death nor did he care to listen to her. He will pay deeply when the truth is exposed.
“Brother Adam, you know that was my sister’s mistake…..”
“Shut up!” Adam interrupted her, his eyes filled with a layer of frost, cold enough to pierce bone.
Alfred was shocked. The name Anastasia had long been a taboo for his master.
Annabelle was so frightened that her face turned pale. She felt like everything was just a dream. That birth of a sister Anastasia not only destroyed the relationship between their families, but even after her death, her ghost still lingered and the universe sent Anna who looked like her to taunt them.
Today, she had the illusion that Adam would marry her.
Lady Judy was also scared and dared not look up, afraid of revealing anything.
Adam looked back at Anna, his eyes filled with an incredible ink: “Miss Grey, the shareholder transfer agreement needs to be signed in the Peterson company’s conference room.”
Anna instinctively resisted any close contact with him, but she understood that he was suspicious of her and would inevitably try again.
She smiled openly and said, “Okay.”
Adam rubbed the ring on his thumb, his gaze becoming even deeper.
“Miss Gray.”
Suddenly, Adam stopped her.
Anna swallowed and looked back at him. “Is there anything else, Mr Peterson?”
Adam’s voice was as deep as wine, with no room for refusal: “There are still some details to discuss about the contract. Come with me in my car.”
His reason was not easy to refuse, so she nodded and said, “Okay.”
A group of people grandly left the Grey villa.
All of Annabelle’s arrogance disappeared at this moment, and she fell softly to the ground, sitting down.
Lady Judy hurried forward to help her up. “Belle, don’t be sad. After all, your father still has two percent of the shares in the Peterson group. It's not a dead-end child.”
“What do you know? Adam is trying to break ties with our Grey family. I didn’t get any benefits from what happened five years ago, instead, this Anna took advantage of it!”
Belle’s eyes were filled with a fierce look. “The last Anastasia wasn’t even my opponent, and this one is nothing. Mom, you were right. We’re not at the end of the road yet.”
She would never give up!
After leaving the gate of the Grey family, Anna felt a lot better, as if the five-year-long burden in her heart had finally been lifted.
She was determined to find evidence that could prove Annabelle’s guilt of framing her for murder, and clear her name so that she could live a fair and honest life in the mall.
Right now, the most important thing was to resolve the suspicion that Adam had towards her.
Otherwise, with Adam’s deep hatred towards her, she would be sent back to prison again!!!
