Chapter 128
Justin’s eyes darkened for a moment at Cynthia’s words,
He didn’t expect that what was on her mind was that 20% stake.
Clearly, Cynthia’s words suggested a trade–off, but Justin was a losinessman..
He could completely understand and even appreciate this behavior.
He could only say this daughter was quite clever, knowing when to claim the greatest benefits for herself.
However, Shirley’s expression suddenly changed dramatically.
She pointed at Cynthia, shouting angrily. “Cynthia, do you have no share? You’re just an outsider. Dad already gave your 20% of the shares for the sake of old times, yet you’re still not satisfied and are eyeing the shares that I have. Cynthia, you’re simply greedy. I will never give you my shares.”
Deep down. Shirley felt very guilty.
There was a secret she absolutely couldn’t let Justin and the others know.
She quickly moved to Justin’s bedside and immediately knelt down
Shirley held Justin’s hand. “Dad, I was wrong, I realize my mistake now, I won’t act impulsively again. I will focus on studying design wholeheartedly. I will definitely succeed. Dad, trust me, please. I am sure I will succeed.”
Justin remained unmoved.
In his heart, he was extremely disappointed in his biological daughter.
Justin spoke with a cold tone, “You had a bet before. Whoever lost would transfer the 20% shares they held to the other party The Yates family was the witness.”
Justin said in a meaningful voice, “Shirley, since you gambled, you must be willing to accept the loss.”
Shirley never expected Justin to be so heartless, but she absolutely couldn’t let anyone find out…
Shirley immediately turned to Cynthia. Suddenly, she changed her expression.
With a flattering smile, she said, “Cynthia, my dear sister, I was wrong. I really messed up. From now on. I’ll never do anything foolish again. Let’s get along peacefully, okay?”
Cynthia withdrew her hand and casually flicked her long, wavy hair.
Her eyes were calm, but there was a hint of mockery in her smile. “Shirley, what do you mean by this?
Shirley begged, “Let’s just consider the shares thing a joke, alight?
“We’re sisters. What’s the big deal between us?
“From now on, I’ll listen to you, okay?”
Cynthia laughed, her words brimming with sarcasmn, ‘A joke? Shirley, aren’t you naive? Can everything just be dismissed. with it was a joke?”
Cynthia raised her hand, admiring her freshly done nails.
Chapter 128
“Last time, you bet that if knew Miss Y. you’d kneel in front of me. You lost but brushed it off as a joke. I didn’t bother with you. Now you say it is a joke again to smooth things over? Are you so fond of making jokes?” said Cynthia mockingly
Shirley was momentarily stunned.
She didn’t expect Cynthia to remember what happened last time.
She couldn’t believe Cynthia could be so petty.
Cynthia’s point was clear. Shirley lost the last bet but didn’t kneel in front of her. Now she held a grudge against Shirley.
To calm Cynthia down, Shirley steeled herself.
She dropped to her knees in front of Cynthia with a thud
She almost bit her own flesh.
She bowed to the floor several times. “I’m sorry!”
Shirley’s words were full of reluctance. But now, she had no choice.
She really couldn’t let Justin and Selena discover her secret.
She knocked her head on the floor several times. Then she got up.
Her eyes were full of tears from unwillingness and humiliation.
She nearly reached her limit of endurance. “Cynthia, are you satisfied now?”
Cynthia just chuckled. She was calm and collected.
She crossed her arms, leaned slightly forward, and got close to Shirley.
“My dear sister, if it were you and you had such a chance, would you give it up over a couple of apologies?”
Shirley was stunned. Then she cursed angrily. “Cynthia, are you messing with me?”
Cynthia, however, was firm, “Dad, when the shares under Shirley’s name are transferred to me, only then will I go to see Miss Y about handling the legal documents”
Justin understood this well. Someone like Shirley was completely unreliable.
The future of Velorix still depended on Cynthia.
And now, she was willing to call him Dad again.
The daughter he had raised for twenty years was talented and capable. It was definitely more secure than handing it over to a professional manager.
Justin said, “I’ll call the lawyer over right away,
He turned to Shirley and said, “Shirley, stop being so stubborn. You made this mess, and Cynthia is willing to help. You should properly thank her. If Miss Y doesn’t drop the charges, the company’s stocks will keep plummeting, Soon enough, we’ll be close to bankruptcy, and those stocks in your hands will just become worthless paper.
ublie statement about it. That was the only
Right now, the only solution was to reach a settlement with MissYand public
way to save Velorix.
Let alone just 20% of the shares, Justin didn’t even have a choice if he had to hand over the entire company to Cynthia.

Chapter 128
Shirley’s face tumed pale.
Justin was already on the phone with the lawyer.
Seeing that she could no longer cover it up, Shirley knelt again beside Justin’s bed, sobbing. “Dad, I’ve already… sold the company’s shares…”
When Justin heard this, it felt like a bolt from the blue.
He was momentarily stupefied. “Shirley, what did you say?*
Shirley closed her eyes, throwing in the towel. “I sold the company’s shares a month ago.”
After Justin heard this, his fingers trembled as he pointed at Shirley, shaking with anger. “You brat, say that again.”
Selena also realized the seriousness of the situation.
She walked over to Shirley and gave her shoulder a push. “Who did you sell them to, and why did you sell them?”
Shirley obviously couldn’t disclose the reason.
With her head down, Shirley muttered, “I don’t really know. It was just some company. The lawyer handled the signing process.
“You fool, you don’t even know who you sold them to. You actually sold all the company’s stocks. How much did you sell them for!”
Shirley trembled as she answered, “10 million dollars…”
Justin couldn’t catch his breath. He was so mad he fainted right there.
A was at least 300 million dollars.
nth ago, Velorix’s stock price
She actually sold it off for a measly 10 million dollars..
Selena was also fuming. She slapped Shirley across the face. “Y–You are hopeless!”
At that moment, Selena’s regret hit its peak.
She had always thought Shirley was just a bit headstrong, a bit rough, and narrow–minded.
But she never
expected Shirley to cause such a huge mess.
Cynthia didn’t show any surprise on her face.
But she pretended to be shocked. “Shirley, the stocks are worth 300 million dollars and you sold them for 10 million dollars? Are you trying to drive Dad to an early grave?”
