Donald’s expression twisted. “Thirty percent? Rena, that’s absurd! If I grant you that, your stake will surpass mine!”
Serena let out a frosty laugh. “Is that so? Then I’ll call Sebastian immediately and tell him the marriage is
off.”
“Wait!” Donald’s voice wavered between fury and dread.
Having just confirmed his daughter’s involvement with Sebastian, he feared that her impulsive nature might derail everything yet again.
After all, she had already rejected the Levine family once before.
He had no clue what scheme had allowed her to get close to Sebastian in the first place.
“Rena, don’t try to intimidate me. I’ve already consented to twenty percent–that’s my absolute ceiling. If you refuse to marry him, others will. Do you think Sebastian is Trevor, someone you can manipulate?”
Serena’s gaze sharpened, icy and precise. “Oh, really? Care to test me?”
Without another word, she picked up her phone and dialed Sebastian.
“Hello, Sebastian.”
“Hello, Rena, what’s up?”
Donald’s throat constricted–the voice was unmistakably Sebastian’s.
“Sebastian, about our marriage registration tomorrow, maybe we should
Before she could finish saying “forget it,” Donald snatched the phone and ended the call.
“Serena, are you out of your mind? Do you even comprehend who he is? How dare you meddle with Sebastian?”

Even thirty–four percent would secure his position as the largest shareholder. And with Serena being a Steele, the transfer wouldn’t alarm other investors.
Serena had already anticipated twenty–five percent.
“Agreed. We’ll finalize it today. Dad, once it’s done, I’ll secure the marriage license with him.”
She turned and walked away, not glancing back.
Donald sat heavily on the couch, contemplating. His daughter mirrored him in temperament–cold, strategic, profit–driven–just as he had always been.
He remained there long, weighing the implications. No risk, no reward.
Shares had meant nothing on their own; without a flow of revenue, the company teetered toward bankruptcy.
Even a minor leak from Levine Group could fund Steele Tech for an entire year.
Serena had just merged onto the main road when Donald’s message appeared. “I’ll initiate the transfer this afternoon. A shareholders‘ meeting will be required. The earliest is the day after tomorrow. Is that acceptable?”
