The consequences Arabella would have to bear in the future made her head ache. She needed someone to share the burden with, but she could figure out the right person.
She was afraid and nervous. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
For the first time, she felt so desperate.
Maximilian read her mind, but he didn't give him an opinion immediately.
Liliana smiled and mocked, "You have no option now. Don't you regret it?"
Arabella knew that it was Liliana who had set her up. She was so mad, but she didn't dare to say anything. She had come to a desperate situation where nobody would be willing to help her.
Moreover, Maximilian was with Liliana now. If Arabella took any action against Liliana now, that would only hurt her.
Arabella regretted it so much. She would never be so mean and vicious if she had known she would end up like this.
Maximilian said indifferently, "You can also give them ownership of the company to someone else, and let the person be the scapegoat.
Arabella rolled her eyes when she heard those words. She thought Maximilian was being too naive. She would kill for that opportunity, only if there was someone who would be willing to take on this tremendous mess from her.
There wouldn't be such nice things, she thought.
"Stop teasing me," Arabella looked at Maximilian with the anger of flames in her eyes. She thought Maximilian was making fun of her.
Maximilian shrugged and said, "I can help you, but you need to give the ownership of the company to us."
As soon as Arabella heard him and wanted to agree, she finally realized that she had been set up by the two. She gritted her teeth and said, "It was you two who set this trap for me, isn't it?"
She realized that they were fooling her around, trying to deceive her together.
Maximilian smiled and said, "So what? You deserved it."
Arabella almost passed out because of anger. She didn't want to give in, but the company had to be transferred because she need the money. She felt it hard to make the decision.
Liliana felt so glad to see Arabella being so angry and helpless.
"Okay, I will give it to you."
Arabella originally thought the company would be a life-changer for her, but it turned out to have changed her life in all bad ways.
Liliana was so excited to sign the agreement. She was finally in charge of her own company again. This was just what she wanted.
Arabella left the company, flustered.
Those fence-sitters could wait to court Liliana as soon as they knew Liliana was in charge of the company again.
Liliana was tolerant. She didn't get back on these people because of what they had done in the old days.
The staff were deeply touched. Earlier on, they were worried that Liliana would be mean to them, and now they felt ashamed when seeing Liliana's tolerance.
Liliana wanted to thank Maximilian. She invited him to dinner.
Maximilian was going to refuse her invitation in the first place, because he didn't want to go out with other women. However, Liliana kept coxing and pestering, and Maximilian finally accepted the invitation.
Liliana didn't know about much of his background, which had made it easier.
