Conrad quickly explained, “General Cosmopolis, this is a misunderstanding. I’ve long prepared the transferal agreement. I was hoping to hand this to him personally. But since you’re here, let me hand the documents to you instead.”
Wolf’s Greed shook his head. “No need for that. The Great Marshal isn’t interested in the Williams family’s shares. However, he’s interested in Eurasia Pictures. This company would become of use for promoting the military. Since Eurasia Pictures is equivalent to 10 percent of the Williams family’s shares, why don’t you give Eurasia Pictures to the Great Marshal as the gift instead?”
Conrad nodded vigorously. “No problem. Let’s head to Eurasia Pictures to sign the transferal agreement now.”
Conrad did not have the luxury of choice in such a situation.
Even if the Great Marshal wanted both Eurasia Pictures and the shares, he had to hand them over without a word of complaint.
While they were on the way to the office, Conrad called Lucille and told her about the incident.
Upon hearing his words, Lucille was overjoyed.
The rest of the Williams family’s businesses were more or less related to Eurasia Pictures.
Therefore, if Eurasia Pictures were really gifted to the Great Marshal, the Williams family would become one of his business partners.
With that, the Williams family would greatly rise in ranks in Atheville.
All she thought about now was not the reluctance of giving it away but the fear that the Great Marshal might not accept it.
After ending the call, she sped to Eurasia Pictures.
When she arrived, she was dumbfounded by the mess she saw.
“What’s going on? What happened here?” Lucille impatiently asked Zach.
Zach immediately whined, “Grandma, you have to stand up for me. I wouldn’t have been so upset if all Zeke did was mess up my wedding yesterday. He’s now hitting my men and I because I didn’t want to collaborate with him. This is too much! He’s going too far!”
What?
Lucille exploded in rage. “Zeke, you’re absurd! I closed one eye on what you’ve done yesterday because it was Zach’s wedding. Not only are you not feeling remorseful, but you’re getting worse. You must have a death wish!”
Zeke sighed. “You’re pinning this on me without even finding out what’s going on. You’re two peas in a pod.”
Lucille huffed as fury overwhelmed her, “H-How dare you berate your grandmother? Why was a savage like you born in the Williams family? Forget it. I don’t want to waste my time on you anymore. I have more important things to attend to.”
Zach refused to leave it at that. “Grandma, are you letting him off the hook just like that?”
Lucille answered, “Remember, don’t only focus on your feelings. Think about the big picture. Let me tell you this. Soon, the Great Marshal will be coming to purchase our Eurasia Pictures. This is a rare opportunity for the Williams family. We can’t possibly let it slip past us because of this man. Quick, prepare the transferal agreement.”
Zach’s eyes lit up. “What? The Great Marshal will be buying Eurasia Pictures? Our family businesses are interrelated with Eurasia Pictures. If Eurasia Pictures really does become a business under the Great Marshal’s name, we’ll be his business partners! From then on, Atheville- No. Eurasia, and even the world, will look up to the Williams family.”
A wide smile was plastered on Lucille’s face as she said, “Yes, that’s what I was thinking too.”
Beside them, Lacey worriedly muttered, “Zeke, let’s leave. It’ll be terrible if they talk bad about us to the Great Marshal.”
Upon hearing her say that, Zach laughed. “Thank you for the reminder. I’ll personally tell the Great Marshal that Zeke Williams had just tried to steal Eurasia Pictures from him. Grandma, I’m sure you don’t know about this yet. Zeke actually said he’ll be getting Eurasia Pictures just now.”
