Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 390

Calista's face turned crimson. She glared at Kallum and spat, “You're a narcissist!”

“Then why is that?” Kallum playfully insisted, not allowing her to divert her gaze. His meticulously sculpted face was filled with a boastful smile. “You've been really shy around me lately! Could it be that you've fallen for me again after I saved you?”

Calista suddenly stood up. “I'm off to the laboratory!”

But before she could make a move, she was pulled onto the couch by Kallum and held tightly. He clung onto Calista like a koala.

“I've really been enjoying your recent changes, Callie. When will you consider marrying me?”

“That's enough!”

Kallum narrowed his eyes. “You need to think this through. Yes, you have money, but I've used it all to buy stocks for you!”

“What?” Calista had never paid attention to her own finances before. It had always been Kallum who had someone manage it for her. Stocks? Why am I completely in the dark about this?

“What stocks did you buy for me?” Calista asked, her eyes wide.

“I bought stocks from our company. How does that feel? Surprising, isn't it?”

Calista was simply astounded.

“How... is it possible...” There's no need to buy the odd lots on the market, while the shareholders hold onto their shares tightly.

“I just passed on a portion of what I have in my hands to you!” Kallum responded as if it was the most natural thing in the world. “Now you hold two percent of Fairchild Group's shares, making you the individual with the highest shareholding apart from me! The annual dividends alone are enough for you to live comfortably. Are you happy?”

Calista no longer knew what expression to wear when facing him.

In large corporations, it's typically those with the most shares who hold the power. To safeguard this authority, the shares controlled by the Fairchild family are immovable! This is also why, even if all the other shareholders combine their influence, they can't sway Kallum. Yet, he surprisingly handed over something others could only dream of owning without a second thought to me...

I've become a part of Fairchild Group. The annual dividends alone are enough for me to live comfortably for a lifetime. I even hold a certain degree of influence within Fairchild Group...

Calista was suddenly hit by an enormous stroke of luck, yet she still felt frustrated.

“Did you... use them all to buy stocks?”

Seeing her astonishment, Kallum chuckled and said, “Not just that. I used the remaining money to buy all the shares of the Ingram family's company! They sell, we buy, and once Horatio falls, you might just end up being the CEO of a listed company!”

Calista was inept at managing things and disliked interacting with people. She would either hand things over to Benedict or ask Kallum to temporarily take over for her. The frustration within Calista became even more intense.
