No Sex for Six Years Because of Her? I'm Done novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439 The Balance of Power

Hannah knew that Derek still held part of the original shares of Rowe Group.

Over the years, because he had no interest in running the business, those shares had been temporarily placed under Ethan’s management. In return, Ethan had to guarantee Derek a large dividend payout every year.

It was a fragile balance.

But what if Derek threatened to take back control of those shares and transfer all of them to Nolan?

For Ethan, that would be like pulling the foundation out from under him.

His controlling stake would drop instantly. At the next board election, he might really lose his position as president.

For Hannah, this was a once–in–a–lifetime chance.

Her heart pounded wildly in her chest.

It took everything she had to hold back the excitement bubbling inside her.

She forced herself to stay calm and asked the most important question.

“That sounds nice. But what makes you think Derek will actually do what you say after you find him?”

At that, Celia slowly raised an eyebrow.

“Ms. Gray, why do you think my son and I chose this exact moment to come back?

“Men like Derek live for comfort. They have no big dreams. If no one pushes him hard from behind, he’ll never deal with something this complicated in his whole life.”

Çelia’s eyes slowly moved to her son, who had stayed silent the entire time.

Then she looked back at Hannah. Ambition burned clearly in her eyes.

In that moment, Hannah understood everything.

This woman, who looked like she depended on men to survive, was not some poor, abandoned victim.

She had been whispering in Derek’s ear for years. Encouraging him. She had meticulously planned this entire battle for the family fortune.

Once Hannah understood that, all her doubts disappeared.

Working with someone like this was dangerous. But the reward was tempting.

“Fine. Hannah smiled at Celia. “I’ll help you find Derek. I hope you remember the promise you made to me today.”

The two women locked eyes. Both saw the same ruthless determination in each other.

At the same time, inside a law firm. Everyone sitting around the conference table wore a different expression.

Amelia sat beside Ethan, but she kept a careful distance from him.

She felt like an outsider. Uncomfortable in her own skin.

Ethan stayed expressionless. His back was straight as he faced the heavy atmosphere alone.

“Everyone,” Oscar said, picking up a sealed document. “By Mrs. Fiona’s request, I will now read her official will. This will is fully legally valid. If anyone has objections, you may raise them after the reading.”

As soon as he finished speaking, it felt like the whole room stopped breathing.

Oscar began reading, word by word.

“My eldest grandson, Ethan Rowe, will hold twenty percent of my shares in Rowe Group and exercise shareholder rights on my behalf.”

Before he even finished the sentence, several extended relatives showed clear disappointment on their faces.

Just holding the shares?

Not directly inheriting them?

That meant they still couldn’t take even a tiny portion of shares away from Ethan.

Oscar ignored their reactions and continued.

“All annual profits from these shares, along with income from all my real estate, funds, bonds, and other assets, will be placed under a trust. This will form the Rowes Fund.

“All direct and extended blood relatives of the family may withdraw living expenses each year from the trust, based on their assigned percentages. Details are listed in the appendix.”

The meeting room exploded into noise.

“What does that mean? A trust?” An older relative slammed the table, his face full of disbelief. “Is Fiona guarding against us?”

“Exactly! Why should outsiders control our money? And we only get a fixed amount every year? Are we supposed to live like beggars?” another woman shouted sharply.

Complaints filled the room. Their greedy faces became fully exposed in that moment.

Amelia listened quietly. But inside, she felt a growing respect for Fiona.

Fiona must have predicted this. She must have known that after she passed away, these relatives would

By locking the assets into a trust fund, she protected the family business from falling apart because of internal fights. And she stopped these people–who only knew how to take–from causing more trouble.

Ethan slowly lifted his eyes. His cold gaze swept across the entire room. When he spoke, his voice carried heavy pressure. “If anyone disagrees with my grandma’s decision, you can give up your right to speak right now. You can also admit you are not part of the family and go build your own life outside.”
