Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 21

There was a meeting going on in the conference room of the Richard Group. Shawn didn't have much interest in listening. He unlocked his phone screen with his slender fingers and checked on the stock market.

When he saw the set of numbers, he raised his eyebrows slightly and was quite disappointed.

"Mrs. Richard, there's a shareholders' meeting inside. You can't go in."

Noticing the commotion, he put his phone down and looked up in the direction of the door with a meaningful smile on his face.

"I'm here to attend the meeting."

At the same time when Joye's voice was heard, the secretary in the conference room had already pushed the door open. She ignored the surprised expressions of the crowd and looked straight at Shawn, who was sitting in the president’s seat, and walked towards him

"Miss. Leonard, nearly half of Leonard Group's stock price have evaporated. Aren’t you supposed to be managing the Leonard Group and try your best to raise the stock price? Why are you here at Richard Group to attend the general meeting instead? Are you that ambitious?"

The corners of Shawn's mouth were slightly raised, and his tone was full of mockery. However, there was a complicated expression in his eyes. Even his assistant, who had been working with him for many years, couldn't guess what he wanted to do.

Joye's fingers tightened on the chair because of his words. In the blink of an eye, she had calmly pulled out the chair and sat down with a smile.

"No matter what the stock price of Leonard Group is, as the largest shareholder of the Richard Group, I think I must attend the general meeting of the Richard Group. After all, the shares of all the people sitting here are still a little less than mine."

Hearing this, the shareholders were all surprised. Even if Shawn wanted to divorce, he didn't have to hand over so many shares to the woman as alimony.

Looking at everyone's expression, she smiled again. She turned towards her secretary then took the share transfer agreement and threw it on the table so that everyone could see it. Then she stood up from her seat.

The tailored black suit on her body made her temperament more outstanding. She held the edge of the conference table with both hands. Her delicate facial features had indescribable coercion, and her voice was much colder than before.

"The shares that I mentioned earlier are all from the Richard family, including Mr. Richard’s. This is proof of the stock ratio. In addition, I will divorce Shawn in a month, and his shares will be transferred to me. In other words, I will become the absolute shareholder of the Richard family."

Everyone was speechless.

Her words contained a lot of information, and everyone was shocked.

After the divorce, in one month, not only will Mr. Richard have to pay her alimony, but he would also lose everything he had. No, it should be said all of the Richard family would fall into Joye's hands.

What a costly divorce. It was almost unheard of.

Shawn didn't even bother to look at the expressions on everyone's faces. He stood up from his seat and walked to Joye. His sexy thin lips drew out an arc as he looked down at her face with his devilish eyes that were filled with flames of fury.

"It seems that I underestimated you, Miss. Leonard."

"I am only following Grandpa's arrangements. If you have any problems, please communicate them with Grandpa."

They looked into each other's eyes, which made her flustered. Her fingers that were gripping the edge of the table tightened. She did not want the shares of the Richard family, but she had to use them to pull Leonard Group out of trouble.

As for her and Shawn, it didn't matter if they would offend each other or not.

"I'll wait for you to sign the divorce agreement next month."

Shawn shifted his gaze away from her face and stepped out of the conference room, but he deliberately bumped her shoulders on his way out.

Joye lost her footing from the impact. A sultry voice sounded by her ear. "My, my, you should learn to stand firm as the major shareholder of the Richard Group."

“Shawn!”
