Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 69

Neil's complexion turned pale, his trembling lips indicating a desire to speak but finding it difficult. Meanwhile, Cristina seethed with angrily, “Maja, Alright, so this is how you’ve always seen us! If it wasn’t for you, would your father have treated me and Tricia like this? Tricia’s condition worsened after that! You’re such an ingrate.”

“You want to use my money to buy a house? That depends on whether I agree or not. You might not know this, but your father has already transferred part of his shares to me, 10%. I have a say in the company too.”

Upon hearing this, disbelief filled Maja’s eyes.

Weren’t those 10% of the shares left to her by her mother?

She couldn’t help but look at Neil, who intentionally avoided her gaze.

"Dad, the 10% shares in Ms. Perkins' hands, did you transfer yours to her, or did you give her the ones my mom left for me?"

Maja fixed her gaze on her father, trying to decipher every minute expression on his face.

Caught off guard by his daughter's question, Neil felt somewhat embarrassed as he explained, "I thought you were still too young, and when you have children, I'd give those shares to them. Apart from the shares I transferred, what your mother left for you wouldn't be shortchanged a single cent."

There shouldn't be any misunderstanding about this.

Maja's hand hanging by her side slowly clenched.

"So, the shares in Cristina's hands are my mom's?"

"Yes, because transferring shares was complicated back then, and the shareholders were causing trouble. If I transferred my shares, I might lose control of the company. I held 40% of the shares, and your mom held 10%. As long as these shares didn't leak out, it was the same no matter whose hands they were in. Aren't we all family?"

Maja slowly closed her eyes, feeling a sourness at the tip of her nose.

It was that soft, negotiable tone again.
