Predestined Bride

Only Summer was excluded and did not have any shares.

She had hoped that Lynn would give her some. Even if it was only 1%, it would at least make her feel like she was a Jarrett.

But now, when she didn’t care about that anymore, Lynn wanted to give them to her.

Thinking about it, she found it somewhat ridiculous.

Summer really laughed aloud. Although she knew that Lynn might have other motives, she still asked, “How many shares do you intend to give me?”

Lynn said coyly, “More than your mother’s. Of course. Don’t worry. I’ll make it worth your while.”

More than Karen’s? Just a few, then.

Since Lynn had offered it, how could Summer make it easy for him?

“No matter what, I am an Emerson. If you really want to offer me shares, 15%; otherwise I will be laughed at.”

Although she did not possess any Jarrett Group’s shares yet, she knew how they were distributed.

Lynn held 30% of the shares, Vicky and her brother 10%, and Karen 5%, which added up to 55%.

The rest belonged to the other shareholders.

If Lynn offered Summer 15% of shares, he would be in a dangerous position.

At the next shareholders’ meeting, if Summer did not vote for him, he would most likely lose the position as the chairman of the board.

Fifteen percent was a lot.

Lynn was naturally clear about the stakes involved. He suppressed his anger and said, “Summer, I have been good to you. Your request is a bit too much.”

Good to her?

Summer smiled and said, “Dad, you’re old. Don’t get angry that easily. It’s not good for your health. I was just saying. It won’t matter if you don’t agree. Anyway, I can find a job. I still have things to do. Goodbye.”

Did something happen to the Jarretts?

Lynn used shares to entice her to work for Jarrett Group. What was the purpose of that?

…

At the same time.

Lynn was so angry about Summer hanging him up that he almost smashed the phone.

He put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the office. “I see she has grown fangs and started running wild!”

Vicky poured a cup of tea for Lynn, “Dad, don’t get angry over such a trivial matter. It’s not worth it.”

“How many times have I told you not to go to those foul places even if you have nothing to do? If you have to go, be careful!” Lynn was angry and didn’t take the tea Vicky handed over, saying with disappointment, “The Patels agreed to the marriage. With something like that happened to you, will they still want you?”

Jarrett Group had been short of funds recently. They had been planning a marriage with the Patels to get them to invest. However, Vicky’s indecent video had been posted online, so they could not count on the Patels anymore.

Therefore, he shifted his focus onto Summer.

Summer had been married to the Emersons for more than two months, and she had been doing fine. She must have gotten along with Leonardo. If Summer was pleased, perhaps she could convince Leonardo to invest in Jarrett Group.

“Dad, it must have been Summer. She wants to destroy me,” Vicky said with a mysterious expression, “But I have taken my revenge.”

When Lynn heard her say revenge, his expression changed as he said, “What did you do?”

Vicky said excitedly, “Since she has destroyed me, I naturally won’t let her off. I also wanted to destroy her, so I lured her to the Violet Gold Club…” Before she could finish her sentence, Lynn slapped her in the face.

Slap!

Clear and resounding.

Vicky’s head tilted to the side from the slap. After a while, she turned to look at Lynn with disbelief, “Dad! You hit me?”

Ever since she was young, Lynn had rarely been angry with her, let alone hit her.

Lynn had been furious just now. After all, if Jarrett Group could not survive this blow, it would face bankruptcy or be taken over by others. At this critical moment, Vicky actually had offended Summer.

Lynn loved his deceased ex-wife very much. He also cherished her two children, especially Vicky, because she looked like her.

Lynn looked at his hand and sighed deeply, softening his tone, “Vicky, no matter what, Summer is an Emerson now. You should have taken her husband into account before doing something to her. Don’t be in a rush to deal with her. She has been married to the Emersons for so long and is still coping well, so perhaps she will get Leonardo’s favor.”

Vicky retorted unwillingly, “So what if she does? He is nothing!”

She didn’t agree with Lynn. Even if Summer married into the Emersons, so what? She was still the trash that was not even loved by her mother.

However, she knew that Lynn was still angry, so she could not say ill things about Summer.

“Even if Leonardo is nobody now, he is still in charge of the Emersons, and he will inherit the wealth. We are short of funds. If Summer can get us money from Leonardo, our problem will be solved!”

Vicky was persuaded, feeling that he was right, “Then tell her to do it!”

Lynn’s expression darkened when he thought of the phone call just now. He coldly snorted and said, “She has fangs now. She dared to hang up on me, and ask for 10% of my shares!”

“Then give it to her!” Vicky didn’t think it was a big deal, “Aren’t you going to let her work at Jarrett Group? Just find a chance to make her give them back later.”

Hearing that, Lynn was deep in thought and then smiled, “My precious daughter is so smart. Did I hurt you just now? It was my fault…”

“Dad, I’m fine.”

No matter what Summer thought, she wouldn’t know that Lynn wanted money from Leonardo.

She was going to have an interview at Tip Top.

Before she could leave, she received another phone call from Lynn.

“Summer, I’ve considered your request. I promise you 15% of the shares. When will you come to work?”

Summer frowned and was puzzled. Lynn agreed to give her 15% of the shares?

It was queer enough that Lynn wanted her to work at Jarrett Group. She had never expected him to actually grant her the shares.

To go or not to go?

She would have more shares than Vicky. How could Vicky agree to this?

There was something fishy about it, but she was not afraid.

“When you give me the shares,” she answered.
