Angela felt the warmth of his lap and shifted uneasily. “Jessica pretends to be innocent in front of Danis.”
“Are you speaking for him?” James straightened himself and stretched out his hand to hold her face then he looked straight at her.
Seeing him being unhappy, Angela smiled and replied, “I’ve just told you the truth. I didn’t speak for Danis.”
James said coldly, “You don’t have to try to get his support. Even if he stands beside Jessica, I’ll never let you endure grievance.”
Hearing his words, Angela paused and somehow her heart ached.
James seemed to care much about her. How could he get involved in the death of her mother?”
“What are you thinking about?” James pinched her chin and looked into her eyes.
Angela hesitated for a while. Then she put her arms around his neck and said, “James, I...”
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Greyson rushed into the ward.
Greyson intended to speak to Angela. However, when he saw her sitting on James’ lap and embracing his neck, he froze and his mind went blank.
Seeing Greyson’s expression, Angela realized that she was still sitting on James’ lap. She instantly got up from his legs.
But James held her waist with both hands and dragged her into his arms. He asked, “Greyson, do you have anything urgent?”
“What are you doing? Don’t touch my sister. Why are you shameless?” Greyson had been looking after his little sister for so many years, but now she was taken by another man. Greyson felt very sad.
James stroked the hair of Angela and said, “Greyson, you are interesting. Angela has my baby now. She will be my wife soon. Why couldn’t I touch her?”
“Did Angela marry you? She hasn’t married you. You can’t touch her now.”
“She will marry me sooner or later. It doesn’t matter that I touch her.”
The two men were so childish that they quarreled for a long time. T
If Angela didn’t interrupt them, they would continue to argue with each other. Angela cleared her throat and said, “Greyson, what’s the matter?”
“Oh!” Greyson scratched his head and answered, “Dad has just been sent into the operating room to have bypass surgery. The board of directors now make trouble for us.”
Angela frowned and asked, “What do they want to do?”
“The directors said the group will be destroyed by our Chante family. They want to elect a new chairman. Otherwise, they will sell their shares.”
The Chante Group had been in a great crisis eight years ago. To overcome the crisis, Lorenzo decided to issue stocks to raise capital.
His decision helped the Chante Group come through the crisis, but it also had obvious shortcomings.
The shares of the Chante family were diluted. They lost the holding position on the board of directors.
Lorenzo held 35% of the shares, the rest of the directors held 40%, and retail investors held 5%.
Those shareholders didn’t know that the remaining 20% of shares were held by Elva, so they thought that they had more shares than the Chante family.
Therefore, when the Chante family got into trouble, the shareholders united and made trouble for them. They wanted to get interests as much as possible.
“When will mom’s shares be transferred to us?” Asked Angela.
