Now, the shares were the first thing that Dad thought of. He was so eager to get that 10% share for Julianne.
It was as if the 10%, which was worth billions, were nothing more than 10 dollars that he could take from me effortlessly.
I didn’t know when I gave them the idea that my money was free for them to take.
Even though Julianne’s expression remained unchanged, I saw her clutching her blanket with barely concealed excitement.
I’d thought that she had pushed me into the pond in the spur of the moment, driven by her. anger. It seemed like I had been too naive.
If this was premeditated, that meant that she would’ve found another way to lure me to the pond one way or another if I hadn’t gone near it yesterday.
She might even orchestrate something else to make it look like I had harmed her, and then use the opportunity to make my parents force me to give the shares to her.
She was the one who wanted me dead, but she managed to make it look like it was the other way round.
This way, she could achieve several things. I would be humiliated, which would make i
it easy for her to get my shares. I would completely give up on Irvin, and he would think that I was evil even more than he already did.
Julianne was good. Two birds with one stone wasn’t enough; she wanted to hit four birds with
one stone.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t about to play along.
I sighed helplessly. “I don’t think I can get the shares for you. Grandma thinks I’m love- obsessed, so she thinks that giving me shares to Quillcrest Pharmaceuticals is equivalent to giving them to Irvin.
“And since Irvin treats me horribly, the shares would pretty much go to waste. She doesn’t want to give them to me, much less let me give them to precious little Lianne.”
“Actually, why don’t you go try? Dad, maybe you can threaten to kill yourself or something. You’re Grandma’s only son. I’m sure she’ll feel sorry for you and give you the shares so you can pass them on to Julianne,” I suggested earnestly.
When Dad’s face darkened, I couldn’t help but laugh.
He kept saying that he wanted Grandma to give Julianne the shares, but in reality, he knew that Grandma would never give them to Julianne. What he wanted was for me to get the shares. from Grandma and transfer them to her.
