Chloe's words left everyone absolutely speechless.
Jacob furrowed his brow, asking, "What did you just say?"
Could it be that Chloe, just like him, had snapped up shares from other board members? But he hadn't heard a whisper about it. Even if Chloe had managed to buy some shares, he was confident he could outbuy her. After all, he was the company's Mr. Anderson, with a reputation and deep pockets that made the old shareholders naturally inclined to sell to him.
"Chloe, what are you getting at? How many shares do you really have?"
Chloe met Lisa's gaze steadily and replied, "Forty percent. I'm the largest shareholder here. I’m not approving any sale of the company’s shares, so don’t even think about it."
Because when it comes to transferring a significant chunk of shares, the major shareholder's signature is a must. Without it, Chloe could take legal action, rendering any agreement worthless.
Jacob stood there, utterly dumbfounded. He had pegged Chloe's stake at no more than twenty-five percent.
"How... How on earth could you own forty percent of the shares? That's impossible, absolutely impossible."
Lisa was equally in disbelief, "Chloe, stop bluffing. I refuse to believe you've got forty percent of the shares."
Chloe remained unfazed. She calmly pulled a document from her handbag and handed it to Lisa. "Lisa, take a good look at this document. Seen it before?"
