Chapter 754
Simply put, the Southall residence was the only property that was not sold by Henrick. His remaining assets, such as his shares, had been sold and turned into cash.
As for Southall Group, it was a joint-stock company. Henrick failed to sell the company, so he transferred all of his shares to an anonymous buyer.
The prices were very low, but Henrick owned a rather large number of them. It was rare to find clients who would buy every single share in a limited amount of time.
Moreover, Southall Group had been experiencing financial losses. Thus, the buyers were very cautious.
Somehow, a generous buyer decided to purchase all of Henrick’s shares within half a day.
Arielle stomped her foot in frustration.
There was little she could do in Jadeborough. As a result, she was one step behind. Else, she could have bought all of Henrick’s shares with a large sum of money.
If that happened, she would be able to reacquire Southall Group along with the shares given to her by Henrick earlier.
Why did he have to act so quickly?
At the same time, Vinson came outside after thanking
Chris. He noticed the scowl on her face and asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Sannie? Who annoyed you? Did you bump into Henrick?”
“No.” Arielle shook her head. Then, she lowered her gaze and sighed. “I just received word that Henrick sold all of his shares and resigned from his position as Chairman of Southall Group. I don’t know who Southall Group belongs to now. It’s Mom’s company, yet, I failed to buy it back in time.”
Vinson listened. Gradually, the crease between his brows relaxed.
He said, “Naturally, your mom’s company shall belong to you.”
Arielle shook her head. “No. With the shares that I currently own, I’m only the second-biggest shareholder. I still can’t acquire Southall Group.”
“Says who? I make the call.” Vinson gazed at her intently, and a tender yet confident smile appeared on his face.
Arielle regarded him with a confused expression. She asked skeptically, “What… what do you mean?”
Vinson did not answer her directly. Instead, he placed a hand around her waist. “Get in the car. I have a present for you.”
A suspicious Arielle followed Vinson to the car.
He took out a document from the glove compartment and handed it to her.
The document was sealed inside a thick envelope, and she could not see what it was.
“What’s this?” Arielle asked.
Vinson replied, “You’ll know once you open it.”
She nodded, opened the envelope hastily and took out the document.
It was a contract. One glance at it caused her to descend into a moment of shock.
A few seconds later, she looked at Vinson excitedly. “When did you buy Henrick’s shares?”
He said, “Buying a company is a piece of cake for your husband, don’t you think? Do you like this present?”
Arielle felt like crying tears of joy.
She never expected that Vinson would pay close attention to the things that she cared about. Without her knowledge, he had bought the shares from Henrick and acquired some additional shares in the process.
Moreover, her name was written on the contract.
Arielle nodded with tears in her eyes. “I like it.”
Vinson seemed a bit displeased and shrugged. “Actions
speak louder than words. Prove to me you like it.”
He scowled on purpose as he spoke.
Arielle feigned ignorance and suggested, “I’ll make you some ravioli.”
Vinson’s gaze darkened and waved his hands helplessly. “Fine. One hundred million for some ravioli. I guess it’s worth it.”
