An Unbreakable Addiction novel Chapter 40

Chapter 0040 

You and Hunter have been married for three years now,Mr. Jasper Sr. said, his voice filled with hope It’s time you two have a child. Why don’t you quit your job and focus on preparing for a family? After the baby, you can always return to work. What do you think?” 

He was eager for Mia to have a child, believing that if she did, Hunter’s focus would return to her

Mia gave a light chuckle and shook her head, but before she could respond, another voice cut in. Dad, I heard you’re planning to transfer some of your shares in Genesis Corporation to Mia. I don’t agree!” 

At the sound of the voice, Mia looked up and saw her motherinlaw, Mabel, storming in from the doorway. She looked like she had just rushed back from out of town

Mr. Jasper Sr.’s face darkened. They’re my shares. I’ll give them to whomever I want. What difference does it make if you don’t agree?” 

Mabel marched over, stopping in front of Mia with a hard, scrutinizing look. Mia, if you accept these shares, then divorce Hunter!”

Another reason lingered in the back of her mind. If she didn’t accept these shares, Hunter might end up transferring them to Jenna. These shares were hers by right. Why should Jenna have them

” 

Mr. Jasper Sr. sneered, When I first brought Hunter back, you had me transfer 10% of the shares to Zane A year ago, when he passed, those shares fell to you. Is that fair to everyone else?” 

At his age, he could see through people with ease, and he knew exactly how ruthless his daughterin-law could be

The mention, of her late son’s name made Mabel snap, her voice breaking. If Hunter hadn’t been brought back, my Zane might still be alive! My only son is gone. Those shares should rightfully belong to me!”
