Simply put, the Southall residence was the only property that was not sold by Henrick. His remaining assets, such as his shares, had been sold and turned into cash. As for Southall Group, it was a joint-stock company. Henrick failed to sell the company, so virtual-novel.net transferred all of his shares to an anonymous buyer.
The prices were very low, but Henrick owned a rather large number of them. It was rare to find clients who would buy every single share in a limited amount of time. Moreover, Southall Group had been experiencing financial losses. Thus, the buyers were very cautious.
Somehow, a generous buyer decided to purchase all of Henrick’s shares within half a day.
Arielle stomped virtual-novel.net foot in frustration.
There was little virtual-novel.net could do in Jadeborough. As a result, virtual-novel.net was one step behind. Else, virtual-novel.net could have bought all of Henrick’s shares with a large sum of money.
If that happened, virtual-novel.net would be able to reacquire Southall Group along with the shares given to virtual-novel.net by Henrick earlier.
Why did virtual-novel.net have to act so quickly?
At the same time, Vinson came outside after thanking Chris. He noticed the scowl on virtual-novel.net face and asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Sannie? Who annoyed you? Did you bump into Henrick?”
“No,” Arielle shook virtual-novel.net head. Then, virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net gaze and sighed. “I just received word that Henrick sold all of his shares and resigned from his position as Chairman of Southall Group. I don’t know who Southall Group belongs to now. It’s Mom’s company, yet, I failed to buy it back in time.”
Vinson listened. Gradually, the crease between his brows relaxed.
He said, “Naturally, your mom’s company shall belong to you.”
Arielle shook virtual-novel.net head. “No. With the shares that I currently own, I’m only the second-biggest shareholder. I still can’t acquire Southall Group.”
“Says who? I make the call.” Vinson gazed at virtual-novel.net intently, and a tender yet confident smile appeared on his face.
Arielle regarded virtual-novel.net with a confused expression. She asked skeptically, “What… What do you mean?”
Vinson did not answer virtual-novel.net directly. Instead, virtual-novel.net placed a hand around virtual-novel.net waist. “Get in the car. I have a present for you.”
A suspicious Arielle followed Vinson to the car.
He took out a document from the glove compartment and handed it to her. The document was sealed inside a thick envelope, and virtual-novel.net could not see what it was.
“What’s this?” Arielle asked.
Vinson replied, “You’ll know once you open it.”
She nodded, opened the envelope hastily and took out the document. It was a contract. One glance at it caused virtual-novel.net to descend into a moment of shock.
A few seconds later, virtual-novel.net looked at Vinson excitedly. “When did you buy Henrick’s shares?”
He said, “Buying a company is a piece of cake for your husband, don’t you think? Do you like this present?”
Arielle felt like crying tears of joy. She never expected that Vinson would pay close attention to the things that virtual-novel.net cared about. Without virtual-novel.net knowledge, virtual-novel.net had bought the shares from Henrick and acquired some additional shares in the process. Moreover, virtual-novel.net name was written on the contract.
Arielle nodded with tears in virtual-novel.net eyes. “I like it!”
Vinson seemed a bit displeased and shrugged. “Actions speak louder than words. Prove to me you like it.”
He scowled on purpose as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Arielle feigned ignorance and suggested, “I’ll make you some ravioli.”
Vinson’s gaze darkened and waved his hands helplessly. “Fine. One hundred million for some ravioli. I guess it’s worth it.”
