In the end, Abbie signed the contract. Kelvin had the finance department assess the valuation of the ten percent of shares, and he took back the shares from Abbie for five hundred million dollars. What was more shocking was that Kelvin announced another unexpected development in front of everyone.
Chris presented another contract before their eyes, and in the solemn atmosphere of the office, Kelvin, without a trace of emotion, declared, 'Ladies and gentlemen, the shares worth five hundred million will be deducted from my personal account. Starting today, this ten percent of shares will be transferred to Miss Cheyenne.'
'At the same time, this is Oscar Foley's share transfer agreement. Miss Cheyenne and Mr. Vincent will each receive three percent of the shares.'
In other words, Cheyenne now held thirteen percent of the shares and became one of the major shareholders of the Foley Group. In contrast, Vincent, the newly appointed shareholder, received deep sympathy from everyone. As the son of the Foley family, his weight was not even equivalent to that of an outsider.
People couldn't decide whether old Mr. Foley was generous or stingy. The private murmurs of the shareholders reached Vincent and Abbie's ears, and the two people, who had suffered similar fates, had very different reactions at this moment.
Vincent, surprisingly, wore a big smile and asked the shareholders to take good care of him. On the other hand, Abbie, who was furious, took a deep breath and turned pale as she said, 'Kelvin, is this... what you wanted?'
She questioned the man sitting at the head of the table, seemingly on the brink of tears. Her gaze was filled with intense hatred and a chilling, bloodthirsty intent, which didn't escape Kelvin's eyes.
His heart trembled. How did he only realize this now? Was this her true nature all along?
'This is what you owe her, and you gets five hundred million, Abbie, you're not losing out,' he replied. If not for the fact that he valued the contribution of her father to the company, she might already be in jail now. Not to mention having five hundred million and a luxury mansion. As long as she kept her nose clean, she wouldn't have to worry for the rest of her life.
Abbie laughed bitterly, her laughter filled with despair and irony, and she couldn't stop coughing. Tears welled up in her eyes. 'Kelvin, then how do you repay what you owe me? I've wasted my ten years on you.'
This time, Kelvin ignored her, casting her a disdainful glance, his lips curving into a merciless smile, and his voice filled with a decisive tone. 'I've never owed you anything. Your self-imposed ten years have never ceased to be an obstacle in my life... Abbie, you are truly selfish to the extreme!'
Everything she called her effort had been nothing but a trouble for him. There were no more heart-wrenching words than these!
Abbie suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, her breathing becoming difficult. In pain, she reached out a hand and clutched her heart, collapsing onto the table. With a glimmer of hope left in her eyes, she gazed at the tall figure.
'Kelvin... help... help me, I'm in pain.'
Chris stared at Miss Berry, dumbfounded, muttering to himself, 'Again, she's at it again.' He wondered if Mr. Foley would continue to be taken in by her.
Unexpectedly, Kelvin showed no reaction this time. He remained seated in his position and instructed, 'Chris, call 911 and have Miss Berry taken to the hospital. The rest of you can continue the meeting.'
Hiss! Everyone in the conference room was taken aback by Kelvin's calm tone. Mr. Foley's aloofness was truly something else. In fact, he was just treating Miss Berry as he would any other employee.
Nevertheless, considering their previous relationship, Kelvin's indifference was shocking. People in the room sensed a significant change at the Foley Group.
'Understood, Mr. Foley,' Chris finally felt at ease. He approached Abbie, planning to offer assistance, but she pushed him away just like the last time.
