Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 326

The old man motioned to Frederick.

Frederick nodded and opened the folder in his hand before passing it to Yvonne. "Master wants you to sign this."

"What's this?" Yvonne looked at it suspiciously and her eyes suddenly widened. "This is...a share transfer contract?"

"Yes." Frederick uncapped a pen while explaining to her, "Master wants to transfer 10% of the initial shares to you, madam."

"No way!" Yvonne jumped up in surprise and panic was written all over her face. "Why do you want to transfer it to me?"

Moreover, the shares were from pre-initial public offerings, which was much more valuable than common shares.

How could she take it!

The old man could not help but laugh when he saw Yvonne freaking out. "My child, don't be afraid. You’re the daughter-in-law of the Lancaster family, so you ought to have some shares anyway."

"I know, but this is too much," Yvonne said.

She had heard from Sue before that the daughters-in-law of the Lancaster family would receive a portion of the shares donated by the Lancasters, but only one to two percent, or maybe even just a fraction of that, but never 10%.

"Yes, this is a lot, but this time it's different." The old man lowered his eyelids.

Yvonne calmed down and prepared herself to listen to what he had to say.

"My child, actually, those shares aren’t really just being given to you. Instead, I'm transferring them to you to keep them safe."

"Keep them?" Yvonne was even more confused.

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, keep them for Henry. Henry is the best of his generation in the Lancaster family, but he's also the one I'm most worried about. Perhaps it's because of the loss of his parents since he was a child that his personality has become very sensitive and cold, and sometimes he can be very stubborn too."

When Yvonne heard this, she nodded her head in agreement.

She also felt that Henry could be too stubborn sometimes.

However, she still did not understand what it had to d o with the share transfer, but the old man quickly explained to her in detail.

It turned out that the old man was worried that

Henry's character would offend many people in the future. Once those people joined hands to go against him, he would not be able to withstand it no matter how strong he was.

That was why the old man gave her 10% of the equity t o leave a contingency for him.

Should Henry's equity be taken away someday, she would still have the 10% left with her. With those shares, Henry could still have a chance to get back up.

The old man was indeed very wise.

"I understand what you mean Grandpa, but aren't you worried about me taking the shares and not giving it t o Henry when he's in trouble in the future? Or what if I become greedy for money and secretly sell the shares? " Yvonne looked at the old man with a serious expression.

The old man laughed and said, "You're my granddaughter-in-law. I believe you!"

His faith in her melted her heart instantly and she clenched her fists tightly. "Grandpa, you..."

"Now now, don't cry, I'm not quite done yet." The old man did not know to laugh or cry.

Yvonne sniffled, "Okay I won't cry. Go on, Grandpa."

The old man erased the kindness off his face and became serious, "This 10% of the initial shares were secretly acquired from the hands of those on the board of directors after several years through Frederick, so those people do not know that I still have shares in my hand. They thought all of my shares were given to Henry."

"Does Henry know?" Yvonne asked.

The old man waved his hand. "Henry doesn’t know. This has always been the contingency plan for him, so I have no intention to tell him. The only ones who know are the four of us, so my child, these shares will be transferred to you in secret. Don't let Henry know unless necessary." i

Yvonne nodded and took his words seriously.

She knew that it would be the last resort if Henry ever hit rock bottom and needed a way out.

When that happened, she could tell him that she still had the shares that Grandpa secretly handed over to her.
