The more she read, the grimmer her expression became.
After reading half of it, Lacey suddenly shuddered violently and exclaimed, “How is this possible? How on earth? This must be a typo. It must be. Mr. Wayne, please take a look. Is this a typo?”
Lenard glanced at the agreement and denied, “It's not, Ms. Hinton. How could we make a typo for such a major transaction?”
Lacey quickly called out to Zeke, “Quick, Zeke! Take a look at this. Could this be a typo? If it's not a typo... No, this is impossible!”
Hearing that, Zeke read the agreement. Sure enough, the agreement stated Lacey could use one hundred to purchase fifty-one percent of Redwood Capital's shares and become their biggest shareholder.
There was no way it could be a mistake, for that unreasonable condition was set by Zeke.
He smiled. “Lacey, I don't think this is a typo. How could Redwood Capital make such a serious typo? They must be sincere about letting you purchase Redwood Capital's shares.”
Lacey went through the agreement several times. “This is too surreal. This doesn't even happen in television dramas!”
The others were lost. They did not know what was written on the agreement that could make Lacey act like that.
The twins carefully scooted to Lacey's side. “What's wrong, Ms. Hinton? Is there anything we can help with?”
Lacey handed the agreement to them. “Here. Have a look. Do you think this is real?”
As soon as they saw the content of the agreement, the twins exclaimed in unison, “Oh my goodness!”
One of them exclaimed, “One hundred to purchase fifty-one percent of Redwood Capital's shares? Only fools will believe that it's not a typo!”
The younger one said, “But Mr. Wayne of Redwood Capital has denied it just now. It's not a typo. It's real.”
“Huh? Mr. Wayne, so y-you're saying it's true? She can actually buy fifty-one percent of Redwood Capital's shares with just one hundred?”
Lenard nodded seriously. “Yes, it's true. I swear it on my life.”
The twins gasped. “Mr. Wayne, I'll give you one hundred. No, I'll give you one thousand to have the shares transferred to me.”
Lenard smiled silently.
Meanwhile, as they were joking, Daisy was too stunned to speak.
The matter earlier was nothing compared to the shocking news she had just heard.
Only one hundred is needed to transfer the ownership of fifty-one percent of the shares? How on earth is that different from giving it away for free? Have people from Redwood Capital lost their minds? Right, only crazy people will do such a thing.
Daisy did not believe it and inquired hurriedly, “Mr. Wayne, this is fake. Please tell me this agreement is fake. Here, I-I'll tear it up for you.”
With that, Daisy rushed over to snatch the agreement from Lacey.
However, Lenard was not going to let her do as she pleased.
He stopped Daisy with a cold smile on his face. “Daisy, stop causing me trouble! When are you going to give up?”
At that moment, Daisy had officially lost her temper. “Lenard, what's the meaning of this? You promised me yesterday that—”
Slap!
Lenard gave Daisy a tight slap across the face, causing her to stagger backward and stumble to the ground.
Despite that, he was not done. He stomped toward Daisy aggressively and scolded, “You b*tch! I used to be someone cautious and unpolluted by corruption. It's you who sugarcoated a trap and made me fall into it, ruining my reputation. I'm going to teach you a lesson today!”
Bam!
Lenard kicked Daisy.
“Ms. Hinton, let me tell you the truth today. It was actually Daisy who bribed me to work with her to set you up. Thankfully, I came to my senses just in time before making a major mistake. I hope you can forgive me. If you don't, I'll beat Daisy to death and kill myself to compensate for my sins,” he said.
