Chapter 272 Setting a Trap
Upon hearing this, Isla's face turned pale instantly.
No, the family can't crumble, at least, not now!
Her engagement banquet with Remy is about to take place, and if they go bankrupt now, she won't even be able to marry someone like Remy, an ordinary, rich second generation!
Her future would become completely ordinary like everyone else...
No, she can't let such a thing happen!
"I'll go in and talk to that old hag." Mrs. Wilson said.
"At this point, I’ll sell my shares that I have on hand. It will buy us some time... Don't go look for her, she won't help," Mr. Wilson sighed, seemingly anticipating the outcome.
Mrs. Wilson wanted to say something more, but Mr. Wilson interrupted, "You know her personality. The more you ask her for something, the less likely she'll give it. Let's wait a few more days before we go see her."
"You call her an old hag, but she's holding onto so much power..."
“What's the use of so much cash! You can't take it with you when you die! She doesn't even help us in emergencies!" Mrs. Wilson said, growing more annoyed with Grandma.
Isla felt the same way, wishing Grandma would die soon. After all, she didn't benefit them, only favoring Abella!
At least when she's dead, she won't be a bother and won't waste hospital fees!
" Alright, first help me spread the word and see if there are people we know who are willing to buy our shares at a high price. Remember, this must be done discreetly." Mr. Wilson said.
Isla's engagement banquet was about to begin. If people found out that the Wilson Group's controlling family members were continuously selling shares, outsiders would surely think that the Wilson family were at their end. When the stock price drops, the company's crisis will worsen... It would be even more difficult to salvage the situation!
"I understand!" Mrs. Wilson didn't expect that in the end, not only did she fail to take advantage of the situation, but she also had to sell her shares. This annoyed her to no end.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Wilson had just released the information not long ago when Sam received a message. "Your family has intensified the pressure on the Wilson family. Mr. Wilson couldn't resist anymore and has put up all their shares for sale."
Abella hadn't expected this. Why would her parents suddenly target the Wilson family? Could it be because of her?
Thinking this, she lightly tapped on the table with her fingers, contemplating, "Spread the news that the Wilson Group is going bankrupt. Create some negative news, exert some pressure, and let the stock price drop to the bottom. Romer will step in and buy all of Mr. Wilson's shares."
"Yes, no problem!" Sam said. He used to be too kind to the Wilson family.
"Besides the shares, how many assets do they have left?" Abella raised her gaze and asked.
"Not counting what Grandma has, Mr. Wilson only has some real estate and a Maybach left. But Mrs. Wilson also has some shares, houses, cars, and other things." Sam calculated.
For now, they're selling Mr. Wilson's shares, while Mrs. Wilson still holds onto hers, not releasing them.
"Find a way to make them hand them over all at once." Abella ordered.
Since they often annoyed Grandma and herself, it would be better to teach them a lesson.
They would never willingly repent in this lifetime.
"Mrs. Wilson values money more than anything. She definitely won't hand over the assets now." Sam reminded.
"In a few days, there's a land auction in the outskirts, right?" Abella had already come up with an idea.
"Yes," Sam nodded. "Romer is also eyeing that piece of land and wants to secure it for you. However, the Bourbon Group has also taken an interest in it and seems to want to build the largest cultural and tourism complex in New York."
Sam continued to divulge more information, “I heard that the Bourbon Group wants to build the largest Ferris wheel in the country on this piece of land. There will also be a bustling opera house, as well as over twenty large commercial streets and luxurious hotels, and so on...”
Abella analyzed this news, "Mr. Wilson urgently needs money, and he is selling off his shares. He definitely wants to make a profit. He will spread the news that the land is very valuable and can be sold for several times the price. On the day of the bidding, I will meet with the others and let Mr. Wilson obtain the land."
"You..." Sam couldn't help but give a thumbs-up. "You are indeed amazing."
Mr. Wilson must exhaust all his resources, including various loans, just to barely acquire that land...
But there is a condition for that land, in short, Mr. Wilson will definitely regret it later.
"Spread more rumors, say that the land is in high demand, that it’s very valuable... Arrange more people around Mr. Wilson to create a competitive atmosphere." Abella said.
"Yes!" Sam immediately went to make the arrangements.
The next day, Abella went to ward 301 of the hospital, bringing Grandma some fruits and snacks, and also sticking the surveillance cameras in high places.
Without careful observation of every inch of the room, it is impossible to notice them, they just blend in with the color of the walls.
"Thank you Child." Barbara patted Abella's hand. With this surveillance, she felt more at ease. In case Mrs. Wilson causes trouble again in the future, she will have evidence to report to the police.
In any case, this child always thinks of what she needs. She actually wanted to install surveillance cameras long ago.
"My phone can see everything happening in the ward. If you're bored, I can also chat with you through the surveillance, but you won't be able to see me." Abella said.
"It's okay. Hearing your voice placates me." Barbara said. Her mood had improved because of Abella's presence, and she wanted to peel an apple for a snack.
But Abella took the apple from her hand. "I can do this kind of thing. You should focus on resting. After the surgery, when you are in better health, I will take you to other countries to travel."
"Good, good, that's wonderful." Barbara had long wanted to visit other countries. "When you have summer or winter vacation, as long as you have free time, take me with you."
"Of course." Abella peeled the fruit for her.
Barbara looked at her delicate face and thought of Isla's mischievous eyes. When compared, could she truly see that this child is far superior to others!
Abella handed her the cut fruit and asked gently, "Grandma, which country do you like the most?"
"Any country is fine, as long as you take me there, any will do." Barbara handed her some fruit. "You have some too."
Abella accepted the fruit handed to her and took a bite. "Then we'll go to France first. I will make hotel and restaurant reservations in advance, so you just need to come with me."
"Okay, great." Barbara smiled. "Oh, by the way, let's find some time for me to meet your boyfriend."
Abella smiled. "Sure, after your surgery, I'll bring him to see you."
"Any boy that you like must be an excellent boy." Barbara couldn't wait to see them enter the marriage hall. "I just don't know what gift to prepare for him."
All the things she had were gifts from Abella. After staying in the hospital for a few months, she didn't have anything valuable that she had brought with her.
