Chapter 115 Chapter 115 50 vouchers "Dad, you transferred 5% of your shares to Whitney?" Sabrina practically screeched, unable to believe what she was hearing. James raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Do I need your permission to give my shares to whoever I want?" Sabrina rushed to explain, "No, that's not what I meant. It's just..." She stomped her foot and said, "It's just... this is way too sudden!" Her husband George was the eldest son of the family and had busted his ass for the company all these years, but he only had 15% of the shares.
And their son Carter, the Harris family's eldest grandson, didn't get a single share to his name. Sure, Carter was put in charge of a Harris Group subsidiary, but a subsidiary was small potatoes compared to the headquarters. Sabrina was so furious that her face turned livid. Lena pouted on the side, and then jumped in, calling out to her aunt-in-law Sabrina. "What's so sudden about it? I think Grandpa's idea is pretty awesome! Uncle Klein's getting married. Of course Grandpa's gotta be generous!" she said.
Sabrina finally blurted out what she'd been thinking all along, "Then why didn't he just give her his own shares instead?" James's eyes turned cold as he looked over at George, who'd been keeping quiet the whole time. "George, do you think the same way?" he asked. George rested his hands on his knees, clenched them for a moment, and then let go. "No, Dad, I don't." he said. He shot Sabrina a sharp look and said, "Sabrina, when Dad picked the heir, he already made it clear. Two- thirds of the company's shares have to be in Klein's name.
"That's not going to change, and I supported Dad's decision from the start." George felt a wave of bitterness in his chest. 'What's the point in disagreeing? Even if I did, it's not like Dad would ever change his mind, he thought. "Good," James said. Then James glanced at Carter, who was zoning out, staring at his shoes. "Carter, what about you? Not happy just being the boss of a subsidiary?" he asked. Carter was quiet for a while, and then he shook his head. "I'm fine with it, Grandpa." he said. "Alright then, that's it for now. Go on, get back to whatever you were doing," James said.
14:38 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 115 As for Sabrina's objection, he couldn't care less. 69 55 vouchers As he was leaving, James added, "Lena, make sure you help out your Aunt Whitney. She's your friend, and now she's family too." "Sure thing, Grandpa! You can count on me!" Lena said cheerfully. Lena smirked, feeling extra smug when she saw Carter and Emily looking totally deflated. "Hey, Emily, did you catch that beach proposal at the music festival the other day? Who knew Uncle Klein could pull off something like that?" Lena teased.

"Oh, by the way, Emily, what kind of romantic stuff did Carter set up for his proposal?" Lena gave an exaggerated wink. 'Proposal?' Emily snorted, feeling a mix of irony and helplessness. To be real, this whole wedding was something she had to chase after herself. Proposal? Yeah, right. There was never any such thing. She just felt sick to her stomach, bitter and frustrated. ***** Meanwhile, her bestie Tina was also pissed off. "Dad, why did Mr. Yeats say I was fired today?" Tina demanded. Tina had barely showed up at her father's company.
She got paid for doing nothing, and just enjoyed the perks and the flattery from the staff. For her, it was just easy pocket money. But out of nowhere, that HR director Charles Yeats actually had the nerve to call her in and tell her she was fired! 'Seriously? I'm the daughter of CEO of AetherTech! Who in their right mind would dare fire me?' Tina thought, totally pissed. Samuel was just as confused. He hit the intercom and snapped, "Get Mr. Yeats on the phone!" "Mr. Moore, one of the major shareholders is here. Mr. Yeats is meeting with her right now," the secretary replied.
"Who is it?" Samuel asked, a sinking feeling in his gut. Just as he feared, the answer came. "Mr. Moore, it's your daughter Whitney." Samuel's face turned stormy as he slammed the phone down. He cleared his throat and tried to sound reassuring, "Tina, just head home and take a couple days off. When something opens up, I'll bring you back in." 14:38 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 115 "Dad, what's going on? Are you not the one calling the shots here anymore?" Tina fired back. Samuel was speechless. Of course he was still in charge. But Whitney owned more shares than he did, so what she said counted too.
But he couldn't exactly spell it out for Tina. If he did, she'd probably throw a fit right here in the office. He couldn't afford to piss off Whitney, but he didn't want to be too hard on Tina either. (69) 55 vouchers "Just go home for now! This is the office, and I've got a big client coming in any minute!" Samuel said. With just a few words, Samuel managed to send Tina packing. Tina was fuming, determined to confront Mr. Yeats and demand an explanation. Just as she was about to barge into his office, she caught a familiar voice from inside. "Mr. Yeats, good job.
I'll make sure my father knows you deserve a solid year-end bonus," Whitney said, her tone calm and authoritative. "Thank you, Ms. Moore. Would you like me to give you a tour of the company?" Mr. Yeats replied flatteringly. With a loud bang, the door was shoved open. Tina barged in, hands on her hips, her face twisted with rage. "It's you again, Whitney!" she exclaimed. "Always trying to turn people against each other! Mr. Yeats, do you even know who's the real boss around here? How could you just take her word for it and kick me out?" Mr. Yeats said, unfazed, "Well, Tina, trust me.
I know exactly who runs this place." "As for firing you, I'm just following company policy. You only bothered to show up three days this month. Eighteen days AWOL. That's a major breach of the rules in the employee handbook." "Getting fired? You totally had it coming." Tina choked for a second, and then snapped back, her chin jutting out, "I've always done it this way! My father runs this place. Why do you care if I'm late?" Whitney just smiled, calm as ever. "Oh, I care plenty. Hate to break it to you, sis, but I'm the biggest shareholder at AetherTech now.
I don't bother with the big stuff, but when it comes to staff reviews? That's my turf." "Mr. Yeats, I say we crack down on all this family favoritism. Otherwise, this place will just be packed with bosses' daughters and sisters. How's anyone supposed to manage that? Am I right, Mr. Yeats?" "Absolutely, Ms. Moore! Mr. Moore's been wanting to fix this forever, but it never happened. Now that you've 14:39 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 115 spoken up, we'll enforce every rule in the handbook, no exceptions!" 69 55 vouchers Mr.
Yeats was practically tripping over himself to agree.Tina watched them team up, her face turning livid with rage. "You! Just wait, I'm telling Mom!" Tina snapped, her voice trembling with anger. When Tina stormed into the finance department and saw Laura packing up her things, her eyes widened in shock. "Mom, what are you doing?" Tina blurted out in disbelief. She frowned deeply and said, "Was it that little bitch again?" Laura was furious, but she kept her cool on the outside. "Let's go home and talk about it." she said. "Mom, that little bitch has totally lost it!" Tina fumed.
Laura narrowed her eyes and said, "Crazy or not, one thing's for sure. She's coming for us, and she's not holding back." 'Kicking them out? Please, that's barely ruthless,' Whitney thought, her eyes cold and distant. 'If I could, I'd kick my own father out too,' she mused.
