Jason felt uncomfortable hearing Jessica’s words. Traces of shame welled up in his heart too.
However, there were some things that he could not back down on. “ I admit that you’ve sacrificed a lot for the Snow family. I’ll communicate with your grandpa to give you more of Snow Corporation’s shares.”
“Are you talking about changing my initial 15 percent of shares to 20 percent?” Jessica laughed sarcastically. “Both of my brothers have 30 percent of the shares respectively. Even their future children will have shares when they’re born. What about me?”
Jason’s expression changed. That was an agreement that Old Master Snow had set up privately. No one else knew about it besides him. “How did you know that?”
“I know more than you all do.”
Jessica closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the desolateness and sadness inside them were gone. Her eyes were just ice-cold now.
“Jessica, this isn’t something that I can decide.”
In the end, Jason said helplessly, “Although your grandpa is usually open-minded, he’s still from the older generation. Some perceptions are hard to change. If you keep making a scene, you might end up without any shares at all. Listen to me. Give up on your ideas. I’ll help you keep today’s incident down.”
“You don’t have to do that. I can tell you this clearly.”
Jessica’s gaze was sharp. “I want 50 percent of the company’s shares. Transfer them to me within a week. Otherwise, I’ll start another company with all the resources and connections here. I’ll even take Snowden away.”
“Are you kidding me?” Jason’s pupils constricted. He looked as if he had heard a joke.
“I can tell you with certainty that Master Porter of Snowden is on my side. Master Porter has already won over all of Snowden’s core members. All of the Snow family’s information is in my hands now.”
Jessica’s patience was running low. “That’s how I got to know about the agreement that Grandpa set up. I even know the password to his safe. Moreover, haven’t you figured out why all of the company’s
directors listened to me today? By having Snowden, they can’t hide any more secrets from me.
