The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 368

Natalie took a step forward. "By the way, Julia might have run off, but don't worry. With her illness, she'll have to come back sooner or later.

"You'd be better off chasing after her to get your property back instead of coming here to my parents. That's the real priority."

She turned to the bodyguards. "Please take Mr. Sinclair out. And pass the word. From now on, our family will not welcome Mr. Sinclair."

"Yes, Ms. Walker."

The bodyguards lifted Ivan again and placed him in his car. One of them drove it right through the gates of the Walker Estate.

"Natalie, I won't let you off that easily!" Ivan shouted out the window. "William! Charlotte! You filthy scum! I won't stop until I destroy you! All three of you will get what's coming to you!"

Natalie stood there and waved at him with a smirk. "Mr. Sinclair, don't get too worked up. Let's see if you die first or if the three of us do."

"Argh!" Ivan let out a furious roar.

The bodyguard hit the gas and then braked suddenly, causing him to slam his head against the window several times.

"Do you even know how to drive? Watch where you're going!" Ivan's head was spinning, yet he was still spewing threats.

After leaving the estate, the bodyguard parked the car and stepped out. He slammed the door shut and walked away without a backward glance.

Ivan gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

His phone began to ring again, sounding like a death knell. Seeing it was one of the board members, his heart sank. He didn't dare answer, so he let it ring until it stopped.

Then, another shareholder called. He still wouldn't pick up.

One by one, each shareholder tried calling. Finally, when the calls stopped, his secretary phoned him.

Staring at the phone, he waited until it rang a while before swiping to answer. "Hello."

"Mr. Sinclair, the company's stock has dropped to the bottom. Our overseas partners insist we pay the penalty for breaching the contract. What do we do?" The secretary sounded on the verge of tears.

"Mr. Carter from the Holden Group arrived, and the shareholders are already talking with him. Mr. Sinclair, please come to the office. If we aren't bought out by the Holden Group, then we'll face bankruptcy."

Before Ivan could respond, the secretary hung up.

From the viewpoint of the Sinclair Group's shareholders and employees, between being acquired or going bankrupt, everyone would choose an acquisition.

With plunging stock prices, continuous project failures, and Ivan's scandals exposed, his tenure as chairman was practically over.

Ivan stayed parked by the Walker Estate gates for a long time. He stared at his phone from time to time, but no more calls came in.

After about an hour, Ethan sent him a message with a contract for the transfer of shares. Ivan read through it and slumped against his car seat, defeated.

Then, his phone rang again. It was Ethan, calling right after he finished reading the contract.

Ivan answered weakly. "Hello?"

"Mr. Sinclair, I'm sure you've finished reading the contract," Ethan said with a smile. "If you're satisfied, go ahead and sign it. Once you do, Holden Group will take care of Sinclair Group's mess."
