Chapter 625
Chloe's words left everyone absolutely speechless.
Jacob furrowed his brow, asking, "What did you just say?"
Could it be that Chloe, just like him, had snapped up shares from other board members? But he hadn't heard a whisper about it. Even if Chloe had managed to buy some shares, he was confident he could outbuy her. After all, he was the company's Mr. Anderson, with a reputation and deep pockets that made the old shareholders naturally inclined to sell to him.
"Chloe, what are you getting at? How many shares do you really have?"
Chloe met Lisa's gaze steadily and replied, "Forty percent. I'm the largest shareholder here. I'm not approving any sale of the company's shares, so don't even think about it."
Because when it comes to transferring a significant chunk of shares, the major shareholder's signature is a must. Without it, Chloe could take legal action, rendering any agreement worthless.
Jacob stood there, utterly dumbfounded. He had pegged Chloe's stake at no more than twenty-five percent. "How... How on earth could you own forty percent of the shares? That's impossible, absolutely impossible." Lisa was equally in disbelief, "Chloe, stop bluffing. I refuse to believe you've got forty percent of the shares."
Chloe remained unfazed. She calmly pulled a document from her handbag and handed it to Lisa. "Lisa, take a good look at this document. Seen it before?"
At first, Lisa was puzzled by Chloe's move. But when her eyes landed on the signature at the bottom, her own name, she was absolutely floored. On closer examination, it was indeed the share transfer agreement she had signed. Back then, under Ricky's threats, she had secretly sold her twenty percent stake for only twenty million. Little did she know, it was Chloe who had bought them!
Lisa stood there, in shock for what felt like ages. But when reality set in, her anger boiled over.
"Chloe, you set me up! You were scheming against me from the start!"
Fuming, Lisa's face flushed as if it were on fire, her chest heaving with fury. She stepped forward, aiming to slap Chloe.
"You witch! How dare you toy with me!"
Lisa had never been this enraged,
not even after everything she'd been through. The humiliation she felt was palpable. Stocks worth a billion, and she'd been forced to part with them for a mere twenty million. Because of this, Jacob had scorned her, and Leah was let down. Content

Her ears rang, stars danced before her eyes, and she was momentarily blinded. Her cheek throbbed, swelling up almost instantly.

Instead, she turned to Jacob, pleading, "Dad, look at what she did to me! I'm your daughter, and she bullies me like this, showing no respect for you. She knew I was desperate for money and exploited the situation to buy my shares for twenty million with suchNôvelDrama.Org content rights.
