Summer still found it somewhat unbelievable.
She had assumed Xander meant he was transferring a portion of his shares, but he had actually given Leo his entire stake.
The day after the birthday party, Summer specifically took Leo to the hospital to visit Xander.
Leo handed him a small cake. "Mom and I woke up early to bake this. Try it and tell me if it's good."
Xander looked at the small cake in his hands with pleasant surprise, then glanced at Summer. "You made this by hand? It's so beautiful, I thought you bought it from a bakery."
Summer smiled and nodded. "I hope it suits your taste."
Leo urged impatiently, "Try it, Uncle Xander! You're going to love it. My mom's cakes are the best in the world."
Xander ate the entire piece of cake. "It really is delicious!"
His assistant stared in shock. Didn't the boss hate sweet things?
After finishing the cake, Xander immediately put his mask back on and instructed his assistant to turn the hospital room's ventilation system to the max, terrified of passing his sickness to Leo.
Summer asked about his health and then brought up the topic of the shares. "Aren't you afraid I'll refuse the adoption transfer after you gave Leo the shares?"
Xander's eyes curved into a warm, gentle smile. "Even if you refuse the transfer, I'm still Leo's uncle. It's perfectly normal for me to give him my shares."
He then softly reassured her, "So please don't feel pressured. If you want the adoption, we do it. If not, that's fine too. Leo and I will just stay uncle and nephew."

Lilith's biggest pillar of support was Xavier and the Sterling Group.
They were the things she valued most in the world.
To truly exact revenge on her, Summer had to take away everything Lilith cared about and leave her with absolutely nothing.
She needed to let Lilith suffer in agony, and in that agony, let her go completely insane.
Summer wanted the Sterling Group to go bankrupt, but if she couldn't achieve that right away, changing the regime was the next best option.
So, she finally agreed to the guardianship transfer.
