Chapter 244 The Three Children Fought

Half an hour later, only the lights in the CEO's office on the thirty-second floor were still lit in Hamilton Corporation.

By the time Kenneth returned, there were only a few people left. Fabian was on the phone, but at the sight of Kenneth, he hung up after uttering a few words.

“Mr. Hamilton!”

Kenneth strode toward his office while Fabian followed closely behind.

Shrugging off his jacket, Kenneth casually tossed it aside and looked back at him. “What's the matter?”

“I discovered that someone has been buying our company's shares in secret recently. Most of the shares in the hands of the minor shareholders have already been acquired. I tried making inquiries about the identity of the person, but they adamantly refused to reveal anything. Moreover, the acquisition price is three times the market value,” Fabian reported somberly.

Upon hearing that, Kenneth narrowed his eyes a fraction.

“Say, could this be Kingsley's doing, Mr. Hamilton? Previously, he wanted to impeach you.”

“It isn't him!” Kenneth stated bluntly.

“But who could it be besides him?” Fabian couldn't think of anyone else.

Kenneth's gaze was unfathomable. “He's a stingy man, and he's familiar with the company's operations. He would never do such a thing as forking out three times the price to acquire some shares. If he really wanted to do this, he would've done so back then. Why would he wait until now when we're head-to-head to do this?”

“While that's true, who else could it be other than him? It's obvious that the culprit is targeting you.”

Kenneth's eyes narrowed into slits, a gleam of chilliness glinting in them.

“Fabian!”

“Yes?”

“Go and negotiate about acquiring their shares as well. They're offering three times the price, yes? We'll offer five times the price. Also, ask whether any major shareholders are willing to sell a portion of their shares. Let them propose the price.”

“But Mr. Hamilton—”

“Do as I ordered!”

Fabian thought for a while before he nodded. “Okay. Got it!”

“In addition, how's the progress with Zachary?” Kenneth inquired.

“He hasn't made any moves, merely going to the hospital to visit his mother. He also visited Desmond once. It's rumored that they got into an argument, and Desmond even flew into a rage in prison.”

When Kenneth heard that, his lips curved into a sneer.

“On top of that...” Eyeing the man, Fabian appeared hesitant to speak.

“What else?” Kenneth demanded.

After a moment's hesitation, Fabian continued, “On top of that, Thea and Zachary have been very close lately... Their relationship seems to be more than that of friends.”

Kenneth narrowed his eyes upon hearing that and glared at the man. “Do you think I care about that?”

“No, I just felt that it isn't quite appropriate for Ms. Jarman to do such a thing.” Fabian didn't quite know how to explain it.

Everyone was aware of her feelings toward Kenneth in the past, but she went to his archenemy when she failed to bag him. Verily, such an action invited much speculation.

Unexpectedly, the corners of Kenneth's mouth turned up. “Every individual has the right to make his or her own choice, and this is understandable.”

“But—”

“I don't care what she is or will be doing. Just keep an eye on Zachary. Once he makes a move, inform me immediately!” Kenneth ordered.

Following that, Fabian nodded. “Understood.”

“You're dismissed.”

Nodding, Fabian turned around and went out.
