“You uncle Charlie has been the one managing the company for all these years. He had only passed things to your cousin Maxwell in the last two years,” Vivian said. “You’ve done nothing, yet you want to take them back? That’s basically getting them for free. Who sells something, then gets to buy it back twenty years later at the original price? If you want the shares, fine. Buy them at market price.”
Cyrus was on the verge of losing his temper.
Sierra looked at Charlie and Peter. “Do both of you think that too?”
Anna’s shares had been split between her two uncles. Sierra wanted to hear what they would
Peter said nothing.
say.
Charlie had far more to lose in this matter than he did. If anyone was going to speak first, it should have been Charlie.
“Of course not. We’ll do exactly what the agreement says.” Charlie was very good at saying the right things. “Pick a time. We can make the transfer whenever it’s convenient for you.”
Peter blinked. After a short moment, he could not hold back anymore. “Charlie, can you stop the act?”
Charlie looked at him. “Why, whatever do you mean?”
“Out of the two of us, you’re the one who wants to give those shares back the least.” Peter was sick of his act and went straight at him. “Didn’t you already pull some strings before this to keep this from happening?”
Charlie’s face darkened at once. “Watch your tongue, Peter. Where is your evidence?”
Peter opened his mouth, then stopped. He knew Anna’s accident had to have been Charlie’s doing. However, knowing it was one thing, proving it was another.
“When are you free, Sierra? We can go take care of the shares then.” Charlie turned back to Sierra, and everything he said still sounded perfectly gracious on the surface.
“Dad.” Loren spoke up. “You can’t just transfer the shares whenever you want.”
Charlie looked at him. “What do you mean?”
Loren swept his gaze around the room and said in a calm voice, “According to the rules of the King family, any younger member of the family who wants to acquire shares with the King Group has to pass
a test.”
“That’s so shameless of you,” Joey finally spoke up. “Sierra is buying them, not inheriting them.”
“The rules don’t distinguish between inheritance and purchase. They only say that any younger member of the King family who acquires shares has to pass a test.” After that, Loren even explained it himself to Sierra. “I’m not targeting you. I just don’t want people outside gossiping behind your back.”

Charlie hesitated and looked at Sierra with mock concern. “What do you think, Sierra?”
“You have all already paved the way for her. What else is there to think about?” Peter said, tearing into them without mercy. “The three of you are all singing the same tune. Do you really think Sierra is too stupid to not know it?”
Charlie fell silent.
Vivian did, too.
