Chapter 627 Not Much Time
Everyone turned to look at "Harriette".
Kelly glanced at Miles, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I have... an objection."
Chloe was shocked. She glared at "Harriette", her eyes seemingly on fire.
Anastasia also looked surprised. Why did Harriette have objections? Was she unhappy with the ten percent stake being too small?
Anastasia could tell from Kelly's slightly furrowed brow and her kind yet indifferent expression, unwillingness to compete, and reluctance to hurt others that deep down, Kelly was still the same person she always knew.
She probably didn't have any good intentions.
When Miles' gaze fell on "Harriette", it softened slightly. "Harriette, what are your thoughts?"
"Yes, Harriette. If you have any objections, go ahead and share with everyone." Chloe subtly flexed her fingers.
She was curious to see if Harriette had any objections.
"Rose just passed, and we started discussing the shares. I think it's still too harsh. Aunt Chloe and Anastasia can accept it, but as for my part, I think I would rather not take it," Harriette said magnanimously.
Chloe was clenching her fists as she listened to the first part of the sentence.
But as for the second half of the sentence... That was fine. It just meant she didn't want her portion of the shares anymore.
But how could she not notice Harriette's little scheme? The way she put others down to make herself look better was a really clumsy tactic. She didn't want it?
Harriette seemed so certain that the others would persuade her to accept it.
As expected...
Miles gazed softly and said, "Harriette, I understand that you care a lot about Rose. You should accept what's given to you. You are a part of the Young family, and you deserve your share."
"But..."
Kelly looked troubled, wanting to say something, but Miles interrupted her, "Take
it."
"Yes, take it. We all know that you have such integrity and admirable qualities. With such a wonderful character, we definitely can't let you be at a loss. Just accept it with peace of mind."
Chloe resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
She wasn't afraid of offending Harriette, but she didn't want to offend Miles, who doted on his sister a lot.
"Yes, Ms. Harriette is part of the Young family, and if you refuse, Mr. Young Senior wouldn't be happy even in spirit."
"Yes, Ms. Harriette, this is rightfully yours. You don't need to feel any guilt about it."
Kelly felt a deep sense of relief and satisfaction. With so many people encouraging her to accept the shares, she felt really good.
She even thought her acting skills were much better than those of the renowned international actress Yara Maize, and she was starting to really enjoy the feeling of acting.
So, she continued to act as if she was in a difficult situation, meeting Miles' gaze. "Listen to us!" Miles said affectionately.
Kelly sighed as if finally giving in. "Alright. Okay then."
It was currently at ten percent. But she hadn't forgotten Miles' promise. When Miles was detailing the distribution of the shares just now, Kelly quickly did some mental calculations.
Of the 89% Rose had, she allocated 30% of it elsewhere, leaving 59% for Miles.
He wanted to transfer everything of his to her. Then, she would own a full 69% of the shares in Young Group.
Although it's less than Rose's previous 89%, she still held absolute control over the conversation.
When the time came...
Anastasia was easy to deal with, but Chloe... She knew how to make them give back, even just a little, of what they got from her today!noveldrama
"As for the 59% that I hold..."
While Kelly was deep in thought, the sudden sound of Miles's voice interrupted her thoughts.
What he going to say made her stop all her thoughts immediately. She held her breath, focusing intently, almost able to hear her own anxious heartbeat.
How could she not be excited? Miles was about to announce that he would be giving her his 59% share ownership as a gift.
She couldn't show even the slightest bit of excitement. She was thinking about how she should react in a little while to face everyone's surprised expressions.
Then, she heard Miles say, "I've decided to give it to Harriette."
With just that brief sentence, everyone present was stunned.
It was as if they didn't really grasp what it meant. Almost everyone's reaction was
a bit delayed. After a moment, they all glanced uncertainly at the people around them.
The look in their eyes seemed to ask, "Did we just hear that wrong? We probably heard it wrong!"
Miles planned to transfer 59% of his shares to... Harriette? This was the shares they were talking about, not something worthless!
Chloe was eager to quickly organize this shareholders' meeting, not wanting to delay for fear of uncertainties, all just for that ten percent.
Yet Miles was giving away 59% of his shares to someone else? And to Harriette, at that!
After a series of shocked reactions, everyone simultaneously turned their gaze toward the person Miles favored-Harriette!
Those looks from others, initially filled with surprise and gradually deeper envy, and finally, admiration and special attention, made Kelly enjoy every moment of it.
She, Kelly, wasn't the same Kelly she once was. She was Harriette from the Young family.
In the future, she would become an existence that everyone looked up to and admired in the bustling Regalia.
"Miles, have you made up your mind?"
In the pin-drop silence, one of the elders spoke up, his tone particularly serious. Miles smiled warmly and said, "Uncle Charles, I've made up my mind. All of this rightfully belongs to her."
Of course, the "she" Miles referred to was Rose.
Everything that belonged to Rose, and eventually, everything would return to her.
He looked at "Harriette", or perhaps she should be called Kelly. At this moment, was she dreaming about everything that would come after achieving all of this? She could keep dreaming. She didn't have much time left to indulge in her fantasies, so she better cherish it!
While Kelly indulged in her fantasies, she didn't forget to put on an act and said, "Miles, how about..."
"Let's not say anything more.
Everyone has worked hard at today's shareholders' meeting. There's a small dinner party this evening, so let's alDgather together." Miles Said before striding out of the conference room.
Kelly wanted to go after him, but the others in the conference room stopped her.
"Ms. Harriette, congratulations! Although you've been away from the Young family, fate has been kind, and now you're back."
"Ms. Harriette, please ride with me to the dinner party later."
"Ms. Harriette..."
Hearing "Ms. Harriette" called out repeatedly made Kelly extremely happy. Was this what it felt like to be the center of attention? This was how it should be, with everyone adoring her. This was what she deserved.
Meanwhile Rose...
Kelly watched as Miles disappeared through the conference room door. She struggled to call out "Miles" a few times but eventually felt too overwhelmed and gave up on trying to follow him.
She really wanted to experience being admired by everyone!
But she didn't know that the moment Miles walked out of the conference room, his
smile vanished instantly, replaced by a somber expression.
He moved as swiftly as the wind, and he walked around a corner.
Around the corner, a girl was holding a stack of documents tightly and with both
hands close to her chest.
As he passed by her, he instructed in a voice only she could hear, "Proceed as
planned."
The girl's expression remained unchanged, and she responded quietly but confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Young."
Afterward, she quietly said to herself, "Don't worry, Ms. Shaffer!"
