Sherry's face turned pale. Lyman left the office resolutely. She turned around stiffly and supported her whole body on the table with her arms.
She kept shaking her head and murmured to herself, "How did it become like this? Do I really have to sacrifice myself to get back the only chance to save the family? "
At Shao Clan's house.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Macey kept looking at the alarm clock on the wall. Her face turned blue and pale. When she received the call from Howell, her heart seemed to have sunk.
The maid had already walked into the living room with a cup of hot tea and put it in front of her. She comforted, "Madam, don't worry. There will be a chance to make it up. Don't worry."
Macey' face darkened. She shook her head, unable to calm himself down.
At this time, Howell came back home. Seeing his mother sitting in the living room, he immediately walked up to her.
Anxiety was written all over her face. "What happened? Who are they? "
Fixing his eyes on her mom's face. Howell hesitated for a long time and replied, "Mom, it's very complicated. Now Lyman has fifty-five percent of the company's shares. He won't return the management right to us until our clan gives him five billion dollars. And my dearest sister didn't tell me that she knows him."
Hearing his words, Macey became even more confused. She didn't expect such thing to happen on her daughter and her family.
After a while, Macey looked at Howell and asked, "Now tell me clearly. Do you suspect that your sister has swallowed the company with an outsider?"
Before Howell could say anything, the door had been opened. Sherry dragged her tired body back home.
When she saw that Howell had returned home, she immediately walked to her mother and sat down.
Macey slapped her across the face and scolded, "You unfilial daughter. How long has your father just left? Are you going to merge your own company with an outsider? "
With tears in her eyes, Sherry stared at her mother and said, "Mommy, I didn't collude with outsiders to annex our company. I just met him for the first time this morning."
Looking at her, Howell scolded, "You've met him before. Why didn't you tell me first?"
"I don't know who he is. How could I know in advance that he is going to purchasing the company?"
Hearing her words, Macey turned to her son and questioned, "What the hell is going on? Who do you want me to believe? "
With his eyes fixed on his sister's face, Howell suddenly found that the way Lyman looked at her was totally different from others.
After a moment of silence, he continued to ask, "Okay, just take it as my fault. Then why didn't you come back immediately after the meeting, but stayed in the company for quite a long time?"
Leaning against the sofa, Sherry recalled what Lyman had said to her. Her heart began to thump.
After a moment of silence, she calmed down and looked at her mother. "Mommy, Lyman promised to reduce one billion for the sake of Inna. If we want to get back the shares of the company, we still need to pay four billion dollars."
Macey face turned livid. Four billion wasn't a small amount either. At present, the total value of Shao Clan was only about two billion dollars.
Howell narrowed his eyes and fixed them on Sherry's face. He was getting more suspicious about the relationship between his sister and Lyman.
Jilly walked into the living room and served them coffee. She said, "Young lord and lady, the coffee is ready. You can have a sip first. The dinner would be ready soon."
Taking a sip of coffee, Howell turned to look at Sherry and asked, "Well, since he is willing to reduce one billion for you, what's his request on earth? No one will lose one billion for an outsider. Don't try to fool me with other reasons. I don't buy it. Besides, I'm your brother. It's easy for me to know whether you are lying or not."
Sherry's face turned ghastly pale. She looked at them uneasily, with her hands crossed over her chest tightly, not knowing whether she should say it or not.
It seemed that Macey had noticed her weird behavior. She immediately grabbed her arm and asked, "What kind of deal have you reached with him? Why was he willing to cut one billion? "
Melody had already stood up from the sofa. She glanced at them and immediately went upstairs.
Macey's face turned pale. She turned to look at her and said, "Howell, you must keep an eye on your sister. If anything happens to her, I won't spare you."
With a cup of coffee in his hand, he took two sips. He had already thought of how to save the company. It seemed that he had to rely on his sister, and he would make good use of it.
Jilly's voice came at this time, "Junior young lord, you're back."
Macey and Howell's faces darkened. They stood up abruptly from the sofa. Howell rushed to the front of Benny and punched him hard in the face.
Benny fell to the ground after being punched several times. He pressed down on Howell and shouted angrily, "What are you doing? You hit me as soon as I came back. Don't think I dare not beat you because you are my nominal brother. "
Macey walked behind him and pulled him up from the ground. She slapped him hard across the face.
The sound of a slap resounded through the air. "How dare you say that now? Where were you when your father died? What else do you have except staying in America to pick up girls and gambling in Las Vegas? Do you really take this place as your own home? "
