Chapter 13 Acting like a shrew
Anya's
POV:
As I looked at Evan's calm face, I wanted to slap him hard in the face!
As I was cursing Evan in my heart, my father's impatience voice fell into my ear.
"Anya, if you sign in, I will let you be the chairman. However, I must warn you that I don't think you can fulfil that promise. By then, you will lose everything and bring more shame to the whole Walter family. Then that time comes. I will cut off from you as well. Of course, if you give up the shares right now, you will still my beloved daughter. And as your father, I will certainly treat you well!"
It would not need to be genius to know what he was implying.
He was threatening me, that if I was determined to replace him, then he would cut off the father-daughter relationship between us.
Suddenly, I felt a chill rising in my heart for no reason!
First, it was the obstruction from my ex-husband, and now my father started morally blackmailing me as well.
This is certainly a tough moment!
"Fine. I will sign it. However, I have a request. I need all shareholders to be completely cooperative with my work!" I said, taking a deep breath.
Hearing my words, Mr. White and Mr. Patel nodded enthusiastically. "Of course, you are the biggest shareholder anyway. Of course, you will listen to you!"
"Well, it seemed that at least you've got some balls. Alright, I'm going now that the meeting is over. Tomorrow, I'll have my lawyer send over the bet on agreement." Evans said, sneering.
Looking at the evil smile in his eyes, I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back. The way he looked at me was like a hunter was looking at his prey.
Then, he stood up and left the meeting room, leaving everyone behind as if he was the boss.
Then, Mr. White and Mr. Patel also stood up and shook hands with me. "We believe in you, Miss Walter. We expect you to lead the Walter Group to another level!"
I smiled, "I hope we all find working together enjoyable!"
Ignoring my words, my father snorted and walked out of the meeting room in anger.
Frank's POV:
As I walked downstairs, Mia and my two sons hurried over.
"Honey, how is it going?" Mia asked.
I heaved a long sigh as I said, "Forget about it. Let's go home first!" Saying that I walked over.
Mia hastily caught up with me as he asked, "So how did the meeting go? Anya still won't give up her shares?"
"This wrenched girl not only refused to give up her shares, but she wants to kick all of us out. I have already been fired by her!" I sputtered, taking my inhaler from my pocket and spraying it down to my throat. Anya might be my daughter, but deep down, I have never taken her as my family. I had never loved or cared about her.
First, Anya was just an independent child, who didn't need my concern at all. And over time, I almost forget that she is also my daughter.
"What a bad woman!" said Harry through his gritted teeth. "Dad, you're not really going to let Anya replace you, are you?"
"So what if I don't agree? She took it from me anyway. She just determined to be the Chairwoman."
David was also said indigently and said, "Who the hell does she think she is? Oh, we can't just watch her taking everything away while doing nothing. The Walter Group belongs to us. Why would she take it?" "Yeah, we will sue her for stealing our things if we have no other ways!"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Hearing that I sighed again. "She has your grandfather's will, so there is no point in going to court. Who would have thought that she could hired all four top lawyers in X City? With them watching over the will, we will lose for sure. You just need to know that she is now the chairman, and that's final!"
However, it didn't mean that I or the Walter family would not have any money in the future. Although I had lost control of the Walter Group, the Walter family would not go down.
That was because, except for the Walter Group, the Walter family still got a dozen of the other properties and estates. And in a bustling city like X City, that means tons of gold.
We also owned a whole office building, let alone the deposit in our private accounts. Even if me and my whole family decided to slack off for the rest of our lives, that was far from enough for all of us to live comfortable lives.
However, who would say no to more money? After all, the more of the green bills, the better.
Anay's POV:
As I walked downstairs with others, my eyes fell on Mia's furious face, who was panting angrily like some cartoon character in the lobby due to her range. She was cursing me!
"Anya is gone too far. No, I won't endure this while doing nothing! The Walter Group is ours, and I will never allow an outsider to take it away..."
As she said, her eyes met mine. Then, she rushed up to me at once.
"Anya, how could you be so vicious? You kicked your own father out of the company. How can you be so ungrateful to your family?"
She was shouting fiercely as she tried to seize me. However, before she could get close to me, my security caught her and warned her, "Ma'am, please, you are making a scene!"
"I own this company. I will make scenes whenever I like. So, shut your mouth!" Then she turned to me and said, "Now speak for to me, Anya Walter! You shameless thing! You seduce Tina's finance years ago, and now you came back to steal the company from us. You are so shameless, and you deserve to be thrown out of the Carters!"
Hearing that, my face darkened as I said, "Calm yourself before I'm forced to hurt you, Mia!"
"Oh, how dare you threaten me? Do you think I'm gonna sit here and watch you take everything away from me? No way!"
Mia was like a mechanic, screaming and yelling in the lobby.
However, I didn't want to waste my time on such a woman, so I ordered my bodyguards to escort her out and strode away.
As soon as I walked out of the building, I was surrounded by numerous reporters, as they were already waiting outside the building. "Anya! Please say something!"
"Are you taking over as chairwoman of the Walter Group today?"
"No interviews today, thank you."
My security stopped the reporters as I got in the car and drove away.
