Chapter 25: Delaying
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Kelly’s pitiful words seemed reasonable and received the approval of both Balor and Aubrey. However, anyone who was smart would know that she had missed the main point.
There were indeed some shareholders in the company who were not convinced by Balor, but the real reason was that Balor’s abilities were limited. Ever since he took over the company, he had not been able to bring continuous growth in profits to the company. Instead, he had made a few wrong decisions that had caused the company to suffer considerable losses. If it were not for the fact that most of the shares were in the hands of the Lambert family, they would have kicked Balor out of his position a long time ago.
As Caroline held the most shares of the company, she was the biggest trump card of the company and the Lambert family. For their own interests, they should stand on Caroline’s side. Thus, even if she wanted to protect herself, why would Caroline hand over her shares and leave her fate to Balor?
Did he really think she was a fool?
But Caroline didn’t expose this. When she had been chatting with Edwin just now, she had heard him casually mention that the biggest project in Balor’s hands seemed to have a huge trap hidden within it. If this huge trap were to be triggered, it would be enough to destroy the Lambert Corporation.
From Edwin’s tone, it could be inferred that this big trap would most likely be detonated.
Caroline didn’t doubt the truth of Edwin’s words. After learning about this, she started to think about how to deal with the 40% shares in her hands.
She had already taken over Caroline’s body, so she wouldn’t be at ease thinking that the 40% shares belonged to her. She would not do as Balor wished, but she could not watch as something that belonged to the original body was destroyed by Balor.
Thus, she definitely could not sign this. Furthermore, before the plan in her heart was implemented, she was not prepared to anger Balor. She did not want him to jump out and stop her, which would only add to her troubles.
Thus, Caroline looked at Balor and reminded him. “Dear father, I’m very touched that you’re standing up for me. Like Kelly said, as a member of the Lambert family, I should stand up for the family’s interests. So, I’m in full agreement to give up the shares.”
Before Balor and Kelly could show their joy, Caroline changed the topic. “However, have you forgotten that the shares are not in my hands yet?”
Balor, who was stunned by the surprise, suddenly remembered that he had contacted his lawyer a few days ago. The lawyer had indeed said that Caroline had not gone to the lawyer’s office to sign and take over her shares. Thus, the 40% of shares were still in the trust company’s hands. In other words, even if Caroline signed today, they wouldn’t be able to get the shares.
Balor was so angry that his temples were throbbing. He finally could not hold back and roared, “What have you been doing these past few days? Can’t you even find time to sign?!”
Caroline waved her hand innocently. “I wanted to sign it too, but Lawyer Howard said that he was going on a business trip and had no free time. So, I could only make an appointment with him next week.”
“It’s only a few days,” Caroline mumbled. “I didn’t expect you to be so anxious about the shares.”
“If it wasn’t for you causing such a disaster, would I need to be so anxious?”
If it wasn’t for the fact that he had to coax Caroline into signing, the angry Balor would have raised his ruler and hit her to calm his anger like before. Looking at Caroline’s nonchalant face, he could only suppress his anger.
The aggressive share transfer meeting ended hastily.
Balor hurriedly contacted Lawyer Howard, wanting to change the agreed time. However, he could not get through to Mr. Howard’s phone. The people at the firm only said that he had gone abroad and would help to contact him, but he did not get a reply no matter how many times he urged. The email he sent was not checked by the other party even after an entire night.
Everything was finally ready, and he was only one step away, but he was stuck here. Balor was so anxious that he could not sleep well the entire night. He only closed his eyes and finally fell asleep in the early hours of the morning. He suddenly woke up at around 7 o’clock and hurriedly got out of bed. When he went downstairs, he saw Kelly, who also had dark circles under her eyes.
“Where’s that woman?” He didn’t even want to call Caroline by her name. He just called her ‘that woman’.
“Sister doesn’t seem to be up yet.” Kelly was also very nervous, so she woke up early in the morning. However, there was no movement from Caroline’s room. She knocked on the door twice, but Caroline did not come out.
What they didn’t know was that Caroline had already packed her things and left the Lambert family villa at dawn.
She went to Edwin. “Can you help me find a buyer? I want to sell all the shares in my hands.”
