Chapter 905
The next day, while Cassie was preparing breakfast for Oliver, Aiden suddenly received a call from Paul.
nbsp;
"Aiden, you actually sold the company's shares! This is the foundation of the Chapman family, passed down through generations. Get to the company immediately. Even if you're not well, you better crawl here if you have to, you ungrateful wretch," nbsp;Paul nbsp;shouted.
nbsp;
Paul's voice was so loud that even Cassie, who was in the kitchen, could hear it.
nbsp;
"Dad," she called out and looked at Aiden with concern. nbsp;"It must be Henry who went to the company."
nbsp;
"It's alright. Since I decided to sell, I was prepared to be scolded by your grandfather," Aiden said with a helpless smile.
nbsp;
"Paul nbsp;is very angry; I'm afraid it won't be just a scolding." Cassie frowned.
nbsp;
"The worst that can happen is being kicked out of the Chapman family. I don't care anymore." Aiden sighed deeply.
nbsp;
"I've followed your grandparents' orders all my life. They forced me to be with Vera, which led to my separation from your mother. The fatherly love that should have been yours went all to Luna. The most ridiculous part is that Luna isn't even my daughter, but your grandparents still protect Atlas and Luna. I've had it with this life," nbsp;he then added.
nbsp;
"You're not alone. Mom and I will be with you," Oliver said, looking up with his adorable little face to comfort him.
nbsp;
"From now on, everything I have will be for your mom, you, and Sophia," Aiden said with a smile. "Just think, I'm only in my fifties. I can start another company."
nbsp;
"Dad, I support you," Cassie said with a smile. "After breakfast, I'll go to the company with you. After all, I sold the shares. Henry must have gone to the company, and I need to talk to him personally."
nbsp;
At nine in the morning, Cassie and Aiden drove to the Chapman Group.
nbsp;
As they walked into the company, all the employees cast strange and indignant looks at them.
nbsp;
"It seems the Chapman family is about to undergo significant changes. I wonder if it will still be called the Chapman family in the future," nbsp;one worker said.
nbsp;
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" nbsp;another worker asked.
nbsp;
"Oh my God, you don't know? This morning, Mr. Ford from Dedacorp Company came to the Chapman family, saying that Aiden had sold all his shares to him. From now on, Mr. Ford will be the largest shareholder," nbsp;a third worker explained.
nbsp;
"Isn't Dedacorp Company owned by Luminia? Does that mean the company will become a foreign-owned company?" nbsp;someone else chimed in.
nbsp;
"Exactly, and more importantly, Paul won't be able to regain control of the company. Henry won't let Paul control the Chapman family. I expect there will be upheaval in the upper management," nbsp;he then added.
nbsp;
"Aiden must be crazy. The Chapman group nbsp;is the foundation of the Chapman family," nbsp;a fourth worker remarked.
nbsp;
"No kidding. All the shareholders are furious. Didn't you see them all rush over this morning? They're all in the conference room now," nbsp;he said.
nbsp;
Cassie completely ignored the employees' discussions and walked straight into the conference room with Aiden.
nbsp;
The conference room was noisy, with Paul shouting at Mr. Ford. nbsp;"The Chapman family is under my control. Without my consent, he has no right to sell the shares to anyone. If you think you can take over our company, you're dreaming."
nbsp;
"Mr. Chapman Junior, please calm down. Look, Miss Brooks and Aiden are here," Henry said with a smile. "Miss Brooks personally agreed to sell the shares to me. We've even signed the transfer agreement, and I've transferred the money. If you go back on your word, I can sue you for fraud."
nbsp;
"Cassie, you can't do this," nbsp;Luna, in a fit of rage, shouted at Cassie. nbsp;"The Chapman family has spent over a hundred years building this company, and you sold it to someone from Luminia. Aren't you afraid our ancestors will crawl out of their graves to haunt you?"
nbsp;
"Aiden, you're so foolish. Were you egged on by Cassie? You're going to drive Mom and Dad to their graves. They trusted you, which is why they gave you the shares. If you didn't want them, you should have told us. We shareholders could have bought them from you. Why sell to outsiders?" nbsp;Paul roared.
nbsp;
Atlas was also furious. He had thought that by pushing Paul into the company, he would soon regain control. But Aiden sold the shares, and now, with Henry involved, the Chapman family would never be under their control again.
nbsp;
"You wretch." nbsp;Paul, in his anger, picked up the cup in front of him and hurled it at Cassie's face.
nbsp;
But it missed as Cassie tilted her head to dodge it.
nbsp;
"I was wrong. I never should nbsp;have let you back into the Chapman family. I had some hope for you, but why do nbsp;I have a granddaughter like you? It would help if you told Henry that the agreement was signed by you alone and that it has nothing to do with your father or the Chapman family. We will not acknowledge this contract," nbsp;Paul shouted in a fit of rage.
nbsp;
Cassie raised her eyebrows nbsp;and then stated, nbsp;"Grandpa, didn't you hear what Henry just said? If I deny it, it would be commercial fraud, and I could go to jail."
nbsp;
"Better you go to jail than let the Chapman family shares fall into the hands of Luminia," Atlas said sternly. "Aiden, I urge you to talk some sense into her. I know I've wronged you before, but we are still brothers. No matter how much we fight, we are family. The company has always been the Chapman family's. If you sell it, the company's name might even be changed. Can you bear that?"
nbsp;
Another shareholder, Jack, immediately added, "Yes, Aiden, you've worked at the Chapman family for decades. We've fought and struggled together to build this company. The Chapman family is our collective child. Think it over carefully, and don't do something you'll regret."
nbsp;
"Do you really want to force your father to kneel before you?" Paul pleaded.
nbsp;
"Dad, I'm sorry. Cassie is my daughter. I can't let her go to jail." Aiden sighed deeply.
nbsp;
"You..." nbsp;Paul said.
nbsp;
Paul, in his fury, felt a rush of blood to his head, staggered a few steps, and fainted.
nbsp;
"Grandpa." Luna immediately rushed over to support Paul. nbsp;"Call an ambulance, quick."
nbsp;
Aiden quickly dialed 911, and the ambulance arrived shortly, taking Paul to the hospital, leaving only Atlas behind due to his mobility issues.
nbsp;
The entire conference room was in chaos.
nbsp;
"Since Paul has fainted, we'll discuss this another day," Atlas ordered, preparing to leave immediately.
nbsp;
Henry coldly smiled. nbsp;"Sorry, but since I'm here today, I don't plan on leaving. From today onwards, I am the largest shareholder of the Chapman family. I demand a board meeting next Monday. There are many things in the company I need to be informed about, and the chairman needs to be re-elected."
nbsp;
After giving his instructions, Mr. Ford left directly.
nbsp;
Jack felt a chill down his spine, "Atlas, this Henry is very cunning and definitely not easy to deal with."
nbsp;
"Of course. Dedacorp Company is one of the top ten enterprises in Luminia. Mr. Ford can't be a simple man. He's had his eye on the Chapman family for a long time," Atlas said through gritted teeth. nbsp;"Cassie has really caused me a big problem."
