Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 She Was Fired

“Dad, you transferred 5% of your shares to Whitney?” Sabrina practically screeched, unable to believe what she was hearing James raised his eyebrows and said, “What? Do I need your permission to give my shares to whoever I want?”

Sabrina rushed to explain, No, that’s hot what I meant. It’s just…”

She stomped her foot and said, “It’s just… this is way too sudden!”

Her husband George was the eldest son of the family and had busted his ass for the company all these years, but he only had 15% of the shares. And their son Carter, the Harris family’s eldest grandson, didn’t get a single share to his name.

Sure, Carter was put in charge of a Harris Group subsidiary, but a subsidiary was small potatoes compared to the headquarters.

Sabrina was so furious that her face turned livid.

ena pouted on the side, and then jumped in, calling out to her aunt–in–law Sabrina. “What’s so sudden about it? I think Grandpa’s idea is pretty awesome! Uncle Klein’s getting married. Of course Grandpa’s gotta be generous!” she said.

Sabriria finally blurted out what she’d been thinking all along, “Then why didn’t he just give her his own shares instead?” James’s eyes turned cold as he looked over at George, who’d been keeping quiet the whole time. “George, do you think the same way?” he asked.

George rested his hands on his knees, clenched them for a moment, and then let go. “No, Dad, I don’t.” he said.

He shot Sabrina a sharp look and said, “Sabrina, when Dad picked the heir, he already made it clear. Two–thirds of the company’s shares have to be in Klein’s name.

That’s not going to change, and I supported Dad’s decision from the start.”

George felt a wave of bitterness in his chest. ‘What’s the point in disagreeing? Even if I did, it’s not like Dad would ever change his mind, he thought.

Good,” James said.

Then James glanced at Carter, who was zoning out, staring at his shoes. “Carter, what about you? Not happy just being th Doss of a subsidiary?” he asked.

Carter was quiet for a while, and then he shook his head. “I’m fine with it, Grandpa.” he said.

Alright then, that’s it for now. Go on, get back to whatever you were doing,” James said.

As for Sabrina’s objection, he couldn’t care less.

As he was leaving, James added, “Lena, make sure you help out your Aunt Whitney. She’s your friend, and now she’s family

100.”

Sure thing, Grandpa! You can count on me!” Lena said cheerfully.

Lena smirked, feeling extra smug when she saw Carter and Emily looking totally deflated.

‘Hey, Emily, did you catch that beach proposal at the music festival the other day? Who knew Uncle Kin could pull off something like that?” Lena teased.

Oh, by the way, Emily, what kind of romantic stuff did Carter set up for his proposal? Lena gave an exaggerated wink Proposal? Emily snorted, feeling a mix of irony and helplessness

To be real, this whole wedding was something she had to chase after herself

Proposal? Yeah, right There was never any such thing

She just felt sick to her stomach, bitter and frustrated

Meanwhile, her bestie Tina was also pissed off

“Dad, why did Mr. Yeats say I was fired today? Tina demanded

call her in and tell her she was fired!

‘Seriously? I’m the daughter of CEO of AetherTech who in men ny me would dare fire me? Tina thought, totally pissed Samuel was just as confused. He hit the intercom and snapped. “Get Mr. Yeats on the phone

Chapter 115 She Was Fifed

“Mr. Moure, one of the major shareholders is here. Mr. Yeats is meeting with her right now,” the secretary replied.

Who is it?” Samuel asked, a sinking feeling in his gut.

Just as he feared, the answer came. “Mr. Moore, it’s your daughter Whitney.”

Samuel’s face turned stormy as he slammed the phone down.

He cleared his throat and tried to sound reassuring, “Tina, just head home and take a couple days off. When something opens up, I’ll bring you back in.”

“Dad, what’s going on? Are you not the one calling the shots here anymore?” Tina fired back.

Samuel was speechless.

Of course he was still in charge.

But Whitney owned more shares than he did, so what she said counted too.

But he couldn’t exactly spell it out for Tina.

If he did, she’d probably throw a fit right here in the office.

He couldn’t afford to piss off Whitney, but he didn’t want to be too hard on Tina either.

“Just go home for now! This is the office, and I’ve got a big client coming in any minute!” Samuel said.

With just a few words, Samuel managed to send Tina packing.

Tina was fuming, determined to confront Mr. Yeats and demand an explanation. Just as she was about to barge into his office, she caught a familiar voice from inside.

“Mr. Yeats, good job. I’ll make sure my father knows you deserve a solid year–end bonus,” Whitney said, her tone calm and

authoritative.

“Thank you, Ms. Moore. Would you like me to give you a tour of the company?” Mr. Yeats replied flatteringly.

With a loud bang, the door was shoved open.

Tina barged in, hands on her hips, her face twisted with rage. “It’s you again, Whitney!” she exclaimed.

“Always trying to turn people against each other! Mr. Yeats, do you even know who’s the real boss around here? How coul you just take her word for it and kick me out?”
