Only Summer was excluded and did not have any shares.
She had hoped that Lynn would give her some. Even if it was only 1%, it would at least make her feel like she was a Jarrett.
But now, when she didn’t care about that anymore, Lynn wanted to give them to her.
Thinking about it, she found it somewhat ridiculous.
Summer really laughed aloud. Although she knew that Lynn might have other motives, she still asked, “How many shares do you intend to give me?”
Lynn said coyly, “More than your mother’s. Of course. Don’t worry. I’ll make it worth your while.”
More than Karen’s? Just a few, then.
Since Lynn had offered it, how could Summer make it easy for him?
“No matter what, I am an Emerson. If you really want to offer me shares, 15%; otherwise I will be laughed at.”
Although she did not possess any Jarrett Group’s shares yet, she knew how they were distributed.
Lynn held 30% of the shares, Vicky and her brother 10%, and Karen 5%, which added up to 55%.
The rest belonged to the other shareholders.
If Lynn offered Summer 15% of shares, he would be in a dangerous position.
At the next shareholders’ meeting, if Summer did not vote for him, he would most likely lose the position as the chairman of the board.
Fifteen percent was a lot.
Lynn was naturally clear about the stakes involved. He suppressed his anger and said, “Summer, I have been good to you. Your request is a bit too much.”
Good to her?
Summer smiled and said, “Dad, you’re old. Don’t get angry that easily. It’s not good for your health. I was just saying. It won’t matter if you don’t agree. Anyway, I can find a job. I still have things to do. Goodbye.”
Did something happen to the Jarretts?
Lynn used shares to entice her to work for Jarrett Group. What was the purpose of that?
…
At the same time.
Lynn was so angry about Summer hanging him up that he almost smashed the phone.
He put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the office. “I see she has grown fangs and started running wild!”
Vicky poured a cup of tea for Lynn, “Dad, don’t get angry over such a trivial matter. It’s not worth it.”
“How many times have I told you not to go to those foul places even if you have nothing to do? If you have to go, be careful!” Lynn was angry and didn’t take the tea Vicky handed over, saying with disappointment, “The Patels agreed to the marriage. With something like that happened to you, will they still want you?”
Jarrett Group had been short of funds recently. They had been planning a marriage with the Patels to get them to invest. However, Vicky’s indecent video had been posted online, so they could not count on the Patels anymore.
Therefore, he shifted his focus onto Summer.
Summer had been married to the Emersons for more than two months, and she had been doing fine. She must have gotten along with Leonardo. If Summer was pleased, perhaps she could convince Leonardo to invest in Jarrett Group.
