Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 293 I Need Equity

Of course, Amelia knew Chloe had an agenda behind this shopping facade.

She wouldn't fall for a cheap trick like this!

Chloe suppressed the anger rising in her chest and smiled, "Bryan has been very busy recently, besides I have an important matter to discuss with you, I know you’ll be very happy to hear it."

Where are you? I'll come to you now."

"Oh? Really? Then I'll wait for you at the Starbucks in Golden County International.

Make it quick, I'm very busy."

With that, Amelia ended the call.

She wanted to see what trick Chloe had hidden up her sleeve!

Starbucks.

Chloe pushed the door open, walked in, and saw Amelia sitting in the seat beside the window.

Chloe rolled her eyes, Amelia was just a spoiled little girl lucky enough to be born with a golden spoon in her mouth. She had no right to act all high and mighty.

Chloe stood in front of her, smiled, and addressed her politely, "Hello, Amelia. Good day to you."

Amelia felt nauseous at the sight of her.

This woman was a sly fox with countless tricks up her sleeve. She stole her sister’s fiance and successfully got pregnant, using her child as leverage to make her way up in society.

It was better to be wary of a woman like her.

"Come on, what do you want to say?" Amelia looked at her fingernails, not even bothering to look Chloe in the eye.

In her eyes, Chloe was nothing but a cheap whore. Even the maids were more respectable than her.

"Amelia, I'm going to marry Bryan soon. In the future, we'll be family. If there was anything I did in the past that made you unhappy, please don't take it to heart. From now on, you’re my blood sister."

Amelia raised her brows and said sarcastically, "Don't. I don’t want to be your sister. I don't know when you’ll come after my boyfriend."

Chloe's smile stiffened, clenched her fists, and continued smiling, "Amelia, you're so funny. Bryan and I already have a child together."

Her logic was that Bryan and her were a couple tied together by faith. Compared to Anna, she was the one Bryan loved so she didn’t steal him away from her sister.

Amelia scoffed but said nothing.

This woman was more infuriating than Anna.

Because of that child of hers, Grandma was going to pass the family business to Bryan ahead of plan. She was so angry steam was going to pour out of the nostrils.

And now, she was flaunting the fact that she had a child in front of her, was she trying to show off her power and influence?

Didn't she realize what position she held?

What a shameless fool!

"Is this what you said will make me happy? Funny, I don’t feel happy at all. Huh, bye." Amelia said and stood up to leave.

"Amelia, no, come on. Have a seat, listen to me."

Chloe pulled Amelia down into her chair again, staring at her with burning eyes.

"Amelia, I hope you can help me.'"

"Help you?" Amelia laughed, "You're going to become Mrs. Dawson. Why would you need my help? What a joke."

Chloe looked at Amelia steadily, "Amelia, I'm not joking, I sincerely hope to get your help."

"What do you need my help for?" Amelia frowned impatiently.

"Amelia, I hope you can help me secure my position in the family."

Amelia froze and burst out laughing.

"Chloe, are you out of your mind? How dare you talk to me like this. Don't you know the person I hate the most in the family is that illegitimate child? Why do you even think I will help you? Is it because you are Bryan's fiance? Or because of the child in your belly? Are you telling me a joke? Ha-ha... let me tell you, it's funny!"

Listening to her sarcastic comments and belittling remarks, Chloe was infuriated. She wanted to leave, but she was reminded of her mother's words and the five million dollars due so she suppressed the rage in her chest.

"Amelia, I’m not joking. You know how much Grandma values the child in my belly, she even said she will pass the family businesses to Bryan once the baby is born..."

"So what? Since she will pass the family businesses to him, there’s nothing in it for me. Why would I help you secure your position?"

Amelia laughed and cut her off, the resentment in her tone exposed for all to hear.

Chloe laughed, and threw out her bait, "What if I said that if you helped me when the time comes, Bryan will give you a portion of the company?”

Amelia’s smile slipped off her face, looking at her with bright eyes, "What do you mean? Bryan will give me a portion of the company?"

“Yes. As long as you help me," Chloe said confidently.

Amelia's conviction was starting to waver, she asked i n disbelief, "He has the power to do so? Don't bite off more than you can chew. I don't want to waste my time and energy and for it all to go to waste.”

Chloe could see she was worried and continued. "I can try to influence him. Besides, Bryan knows he can’t possibly manage all the business ventures that the family owns alone.

Plus, you're his closest relative. His sister. Why should he benefit someone else when he can benefit his family? If he gave a portion of the company, as a Dawson yourself, you will run the company to the best of your abilities.

Besides, once you have those shares, no matter whichever family you marry into, no one will dare look down on you, am I right? I don't see any drawbacks to the plan."

Amelia listened to her words and grew quiet.

In her heart, she was furious!

She was Amelia Dawson, the only daughter of the Dawson family. How could she be tempted by greed? What was worse was that it was offered by no one else but Chloe Hamilton!

If the news was ever leaked, she would be the butt of the joke in Johannes City.

But come to think of it, Chloe was right too.

Even though Grandma loved her till death, but in her heart, she thought of her as an outsider who would be married off in the end.

If Chloe was honest to her word, and her promises were realized, then she would no longer be teased for having anything but an empty title.

Chloe looked at the flickering expression on her face and knew her plan was working.

She hided her time, sitting quietly in her chair wearing a clear and confident expression.

Amelia pondered her offer and said calmly, "I won’t believe your empty words."

Chloe laughed sweetly; she knew she had successfully hooked Amelia with her bait. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

She just wanted something as proof of her promise.

"Amelia, do you have a better option? Don't worry, Bryan and I are a grateful couple. Once we have the family in our hands, we won’t forget what you have done for us.

Besides, no matter what, you've finally seen some hope, no?

Of course, Amelia knew it would be best if she managed to get a portion of the company.

It was better than everything going to Bryan alone, and she would be left with nothing.

"How do you want me to help you secure your position?” "I need equity," Chloe said directly.

"What? Equity? Even I myself don’t own much equity i n the Dawson Group." Amelia felt like she was going to explode.

"Amelia, I'm already pregnant with Bryan's child. I need to hold something in my own hands to secure myself!

Only you can convince Grandma to transfer some equity shares to my name. All I need is a nod from Grandma."

Amelia thought over her request, "I'll try my best. But the final decision is up to Grandma, I have no say."

Chloe’s smile was so bright it could rival the sun," Thank you so much Amelia! Pregnant ladies can't drink coffee, I'll be leaving now."
