Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 883

Chapter 883 

The Lawson Group was the second–largest business empire in Froania at that moment, just behind the Jenkins Group. 

Even obtaining 5% of the shares would be a significant boost in terms of market value. Nonetheless, Romello was asking for 15% in one go. 

Moreover, this was just for the engagement gift, and the actual expense for marriage would be another matter altogether. 

Nevertheless, while 15% of the shares might seem like a lot, it would still be acceptable if they were all given to Phoebe. 

Giving them all to the Nicholls family rubbed Sheena and Howard the wrong way. 

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became tense, leaving the trio in awkward silence for 

some time. 

Romello observed their expressions and said with a smile, “Phoebe is a well–known celebrity. Since her status as the Nicholls family’s heiress was announced, many noble families have approached me about engagement. They’re all offering 15% of their company’s shares. So, I wanted to inquire about your opinion, Mr. Howard.” 

Howard remained silent. 

He did not have control over the Lawson Group. Besides, as the third 

Son of the Lawson family, he only held 15% of the shares, which could not be transferred without the approval of the family head. 

Hence, Romello demanding 15% for the engagement was simply unreasonable. 

Sheena smiled faintly as she chimed in, “Mr. Romello, isn’t your request a bit too much? Even though it’s the same 15% of the shares, the market value of the Lawson Group and other companies is incomparable.” 

Romello replied, “Because, in addition to the 15% shares, they also provide other gifts. I only requested this because the Lawson Group’s share value is high.” 

Sheena grew irritated by his cunningness and directly confronted him, “Mr. Romello, your demand is simply outrageous. Phoebe came from an orphanage and debuted through a talent show organized by my company. The help behind her success was provided by Angle Group and Howard. 

“She won the Best Actress award step by step, relying not only on her talent and hard work but also on the support of Angle and Howard. For over twenty years, the Nicholls family hasn’t given her any form of support. Apart from recognizing her as a Nicholls now, the Nicholls family contributed nothing to her success.” 

Sheena took a deep breath before continuing, “In such a situation, how dare you come to the Lawson family asking for 15% of the shares? And Phoebe probably won’t even benefit from this money. It’ll all go to the Nicholls family. The only thing the Nicholls family has given to her is her life, but your

commodity 

Having been scolded to his face, Homello remained unfazed, showing no sign of embarrassment 

whatsoever. 

He casually sippest his tea and spoke indifferently, “sheena, there’s no need to be angry. We’re just discussing, and there’s still room for negotiation. We’re in no hurry. Take your time to think it over, and we can discuss it later” 

Sheena could not be bothered to listen to his pretense. 

She stood up and smoothed her dress, saying, “Where’s Phoebe? I’ll go see her.” 

“She’s getting ready in her room, so it’s not very convenient for you to do so. Anyway, the banquet will start soon, and you’ll see her then.” 

She was not even allowed to see Phoebe beforehand? 

Sheena was extremely displeased and turned to leave. 

After a couple of steps, she turned back.
