Gwendolyn had inadvertently overlooked this matter. At that time, Gwendolyn found herself with no other option but to accept the share transfer, as Sophia's unwavering enthusiasm had made it challenging for her to decline the proposal.
“Mr. Hoffman, can I refuse to accept the transfer?”
Gwendolyn was aware that one should not take what one did not deserve. She couldn't help but feel incredibly fortunate to have acquired such wealth without putting in any effort.
In the past, she had a fixation on wealth, but it was primarily due to her financial limitations. However, she didn't possess an ambitious drive to amass a substantial amount of money.
Her only aspiration was to have enough money to ensure that her children could visit the doctor when needed and attend school without any financial worries.
Sawyer hesitated for a moment upon hearing Gwendolyn's request. “Ms. Ashton, once this is done, Solstice Group will be yours. It's a great opportunity. Why would you not want it? Furthermore, Ms. Sanders has entrusted me to handle everything today. Please don't make things difficult for me. If you have concerns, you can discuss them with Ms. Sanders directly.”
After hearing his words, Gwendolyn was at a loss for how to respond.
Ultimately, Gwendolyn had no choice but to accept. She reasoned that as long as she kept in mind that the company belonged to Sophia, she would eventually find an opportunity to return it to her.
“Okay. Let's proceed with it.”
With that, Sawyer took out the relevant documents one by one and asked her to sign them all.
Gwendolyn proceeded to extract the original transfer agreement from the luggage she left upstairs and affix her signature to it, in addition to the other documents presented by Sawyer.
After signing everything, Sawyer left a copy of those documents to Gwendolyn.
“Ms. Ashton, effective immediately, you shall assume the role of the majority shareholder of Solstice Group. Kindly note that you are required to attend the monthly general meetings held on the fifteenth of each month at the company.”
Gwendolyn was taken aback by the news and found herself feeling somewhat perplexed.
“What do I have to do as the majority shareholder?”
Do I merely have to watch the money coming into my account every month?
Sawyer chuckled in response to her query. “You're the boss of Solstice Group now, Ms. Ashton. You will be the CEO if you desire to assume a position in the company. Alternatively, if you prefer not to work, the vice CEO will be there to ensure the company is well taken care of.”
Sawyer proceeded to gather his belongings and rose to his feet with his briefcase in his hand.
“Goodbye, Ms. Ashton!”
Sophia had meticulously orchestrated everything, intending to bestow upon Gwendolyn a life of comfort and ease where her basic needs were met without any worries.
With Gwendolyn's newfound billionaire status, no one dared to underestimate her anymore.
Even after bidding farewell to Sawyer, Gwendolyn remained perplexed, unable to shake off the lingering sense of bewilderment.
Gwendolyn found the sensation of being the boss, the top decision-maker of the company, to be truly magical.
Camille had anxiously awaited the secret code they agreed upon, but even after the guest had departed, Gwendolyn didn't utter a word about it.
Hence, she came out of the kitchen. “Gwen, is everything okay?”
Gwendolyn embraced Camille warmly, her face lighting up with a beaming smile.
“It wasn't something bad.”
Camille finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.
“It's a relief that it wasn't a bad thing. Even so, let's avoid getting into fights in the future,” Camille admonished, still haunted by regrets from the previous experience.
Gwendolyn responded, “I will take note on that.”
With that, they returned to the house. As they stepped into the house, the sound of a ringing phone caught their attention. Gwendolyn quickly made her way to the couch and picked up her phone.
It was a call from Angeline. Gwendolyn sighed and answered it.
“Mrs. Surrington.”
Angeline's sobs came from the other side of the call. “Gwendolyn, could you possibly make a trip to Dragonhill Mansion and check on Zay? The caretaker there has gone mad, insisting the house is haunted. Though I don't believe in such things, I'm anxious for Zay's safety. I truly worry that something bad might happen to him because of that thing.”
Upon hearing Angeline's frantic request, Gwendolyn couldn't help but wonder if Angeline was experiencing some mental distress.
Haunted? That's impossible. How could that place be haunted?
“Mrs. Surrington, please calm down. I'll go to the Dragonhill Mansion to check on him later. Why don't you come with me?”
Gwendolyn realized that if she didn't offer her assistance to Angeline, Angeline's mental state might worsen.
Zayden had once extended his help to her, a gesture she would cherish for a lifetime.
Therefore, whenever he faced any challenges or difficulties, she was determined to reciprocate and provide him assistance.
Angeline responded eagerly after hearing Gwendolyn's proposal. “Okay, that's fantastic. We'll be there to pick you up right away.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Gwendolyn sighed. It looks like I have to postpone my visit to Grandpa until tomorrow as I need to accompany Mrs. Surrington to Dragonhill Mansion to check on Zayne. I hope that seeing him in person will bring her some relief.
Patrick returned to his office after the meeting ended.
As he entered, he noticed a woman in a red dress, who had been sitting on the couch, standing up as soon as she spotted him.
