Chapter 211
Joaquin held an unwavering gaze while locking eyes with Meredith before putting on an innocentsmile. “Of course, I know you love us!”
“Really? Do you really understand that?”
Not knowing how to respond to that, Joaquin could only mimic Jameson by raising his tone. “Ofcourse!”
“Good. I hope you’ll always remember that I love you.”
“Okay, I will.”novelbin
Giving him a pat on the shoulder, she said, “I’m glad to hear that. Now, go have some fun.”
Hearing that, Joaquin scuttled away. Meredith watched him leave, her gaze chilly. She knewJoaquin had a sharp mind like his father, so he was able to uncover quite a few of her secrets. If heever chose to tell Pierre about any of it, which would most likely lead to an investigation, she wouldbe done for. With that in mind, she retrieved the chocolate from the bin. Tucking it away in herpocket, she left the scene.
Meanwhile, Yard Group was soon auctioned off by a third party. It was highly sought after, andcoupled by the fact that another corporation offered an astronomical amount to obtain it, thecompany never made it into public auction. Knowing that their assets were sold off at a high pricegave the shareholders—especially Roland—some much needed reassurance, as it meant that theywould at least get some money out of it.
When it was time to sign the contract, Roland attended the session as Yard Group’s legalrepresentative. On the other hand, the third party moderator was already there when he arrived.Roland was slightly unnerved by the upcoming session, as from what he gathered, the buyer
offered a high price. However, the Yard Group’s assets weren’t actually worth that much, so he wasworried that they wouldn’t be able to agree on a deal.
“If I may ask, who acquired the Yard Group?” Roland glanced at the moderator.
With a smile, the moderator replied, “You’ll know who it is when it’s time.”
“Why aren’t they here yet when it’s already time?” Roland was getting anxious about it, as he wasworried that the buyer might be regretting offering such a high price.
“Mr. Yard, it won’t be polite of us to rush them since they’re the buyer. Besides, there is most likely atraffic jam going on, so let’s wait for a little longer.”
Therefore, Roland could only comply. When he felt his patience wearing thin, the door finallyopened, prompting the moderator to stand up from his seat. “President Yard, you’re finally here!”
Roland whipped his head around to look in their direction, only to realize the buyer was none otherthan Selena. The moderator showed her to her seat, which was located directly in front of Roland.While the father and daughter stared at each other across the table, the moderator couldn’t help butthink, It’s my first time ever witnessing a daughter buying off her father’s company.
“You’re the one who bought Yard Group?”
“Who else?” Selena shot back. “If not me, who else would offer such a high price to buy a piece ofjunk?”
Roland was enraptured by the revelation. If someone else bought the company, it would end up astheirs, but the fact that Selena was the one who bought it meant that the company still belonged tothe Yards. Therefore, not only might he still be the president, but he could gain full control of thecompany after eliminating all the pesky shareholders.
“Alright, let’s sign the contract.” Roland egged them on. The moderator retrieved the agreementand, after relaying the lengthy terms, handed pens to both parties. Selena signed her name withouthesitation, but Roland was even faster to do so.
“Great. This marks the end of the session. From today onward, all assets of Yard Group will belongto Selena Yard. After that, Mr. Yard, you’ll have to cooperate with Miss Yard during the handover.”
“What is there to hand over at this point?” Roland rubbed his hands together in excitement. “OhSelena, you should’ve told me sooner! I’ve lost sleep over this during the past few days! By the way,you did a great job by sending the shareholders away using some money. They’re just a bunch ofbackseat drivers who know nothing about business! It’s marvelous that I get full control over thecompany now!”
