Chapter 788
In the depths of the night, Selena published a Twitter thread with her account. It was a long thread.
'My dear, this is the fifteenth day of life without you. I can't believe that I spent the past two weeks in a blur. My thoughts were still stuck on the day you left, and everything feels like a nightmare. Sadly, every time I wake up, everything around me screams reality, not a dream.'
'Don't worry. I will get back on my feet, and the Fowler Corporation will continue to shine. The Empire Group that you created will see a new dawn. These businesses are your legacy, and as your wife, I have a duty to ensure that they grow and prosper.'
'As for our children, I will make sure that they grow up healthily. Still, after you left me, I will never get to experience true happiness anymore.'
Once the tweet was posted, it immediately climbed to the top of Twitter trends, and its popularity caused the website to crash.
This was the first time she made a public announcement after the world was shaken by news of Pierre's death. Although her words were simple, her writings conveyed her heartbreak.
Indeed, she had lost her source of true happiness since he left, and she was nothing more than an empty shell without a soul.
On the same day, the share price of Fowler Corporation rose back because the public saw in Selena the hope for the company. Despite being a woman, she founded JNS Corporation from scratch and became a billionaire, showing that she was capable and respectable.
Everything appeared to be under Selena's control.
The next day, an unfamiliar man from the Fowler Family came knocking on her door. She had no recollection of the guest and merely assumed that he was one of the younger family members.
When he saw Selena, a smile bloomed on his face. "Aunt Selena, you might not know me. Based on the family tree, I should call Pierre my uncle. Naturally, I should address you as my aunt." She cracked a smile. "Oh! What brings you here?"
"Well, this is the case. I have not been treated favorably in the company. Right now, I am only working in a minor and dead-end role. See, I'm still young, and there's no way I could keep living on the tiny amount of shares in my hands. Right?"
She smiled politely at him without offering any comment.
"That's why I plan to sell off my shares and start my own business. Aunt Selena, are you interested in buying my shares?"
With a toady look on his face, he flashed a dirty smile at her.
"That's not a problem. How much are you selling your shares at?"
His eyes lit up upon hearing the answer. "Look, Aunt Selena, since you're my aunt, shouldn't you give me support if I want to start my
business? If I get rich later, you net
benefit from my success too!
That's why I decided to I sell my shares to you at double the market price. What do you think?"
Looking smug, Selena confessed, "My dear nephew, to be honest, I won't benefit much from buying that pittance of shares in your hands. So, I have no interest in buying your shares at double the market price."
The man's expression froze. "Aunt Selena, that's not right. No one would ever lose from having too many shares, do they?"
"How about this? I'll buy the shares at 1.5 times the market price. You and I are both businessmen and businesswomen; we'll never accept a loss-making deal! I'm only buying the shares from you because you're my nephew."
The man mulled over her
counteroffer Even Joseph, who
e'
owned the most shares, was offered a share buyback at double the market price. Therefore, he decided that Selena's offer for him was quite reasonable. Rather than waiting to be expelled from the company by her, he would rather grab any offer and leave immediately.
"Sure. We've got a deal!"Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"Okay. This is a deal. I will have the Finance Department work on this, and we'll sign a contract to finalize the offer She gave him a light
smile You're a clever one e
you
arrived later, I would not have even bought your shares at the market price."
