Chapter 611
Trading shares worth hundreds of millions for a broken old phone was a deal so good it was almost unbelievable. Hans had to ask for confirmation several times before he dared to believe it.
“My father’s phone should be with Judy,” Penelope added.
“I’ll have her give it to you right now!”
“But I’m afraid she won’t.”
Hans scoffed. “She’s not an idiot!”
“She certainly isn’t. Which is why if I offer to trade the shares for the phone and she
still refuses, there must be a conspiracy at play!”
“What kind of game are you playing now?”
Penelope shrugged. “I just want my father’s phone as a keepsake, that’s all.”
Hans narrowed his eyes. He didn’t really care if Penelope was scheming. Right now, getting the Bishop Group shares back was the most important thing.
“Don’t worry. As long as you hand over the shares, I’ll make sure she hands over the phone!”
When they reached the hospital room, Judy was just coming out. Her eyes were red again, clear evidence she had been crying inside. She looked suspicious seeing Hans and Penelope arrive together.
“Dad, why are you with her?” Judy asked, then paused. “Did she say something bad about me? You can’t believe her.”
Penelope smirked. “Have you done something wrong that you’re so afraid of me bad-mouthing you?”
“I’m afraid you’ll spout nonsense!”
“Nonsense about what?”
“I… I have nothing to say to you!”
Judy was obviously on edge, and ever since she had insisted against surgery for Donald, Penelope had been suspicious of her.
Hans glanced into the hospital room first to check on his son, then turned to Judy. “Do you have Donald’s phone?”
Judy’s lips trembled. “Why are you suddenly asking about that?”
“Give it to her,” Hans said.
“Give it to her?” Judy shot a glare at Penelope before turning back to Hans. Dad, what do you mean? Why should I give Donald’s phone to her?** Did she say something to you?”
“She said she wants to keep it as a memento.”
“And we have to give it to her just because she wants it?”
“She’s offering to trade her shares in the Bishop Group for it.”
Judy was stunned by this, but then a look of panic crossed her face as a thought occurred to her.
“This… this must be a trap! We can’t fall for it!”
“It’s just a phone,” Penelope said, amused. “What kind of trap could it be? Unless there’s something on my dad’s phone that you’re afraid of.”
“What are you talking about? I have nothing to be afraid of! I just don’t want our family to be tricked by you!”
Penelope clicked her tongue and looked at Hans. “What did I tell you? She refuses to give it to me.”
Hans hadn’t expected Judy to refuse and frowned.
“Have you lost your mind? Give her the phone, and tomorrow, have the lawyer draft the contract so she can sign the shares back to our family That’s what’s important!”
“She’ll definitely go back on her word!”
“Why don’t we call Henry right now? He can draft the agreement immediately. I’ll
sign, and you give me the phone.”
“I will never give you the phone!”
“Who were the two people who called my dad right before the crash? Was it you or
someone you know?” Penelope suddenly shouted at Judy.
Judy was taken aback. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“I suspect my father’s crash wasn’t an accident-someone caused it!”
“You
“And the truth is on his phone.”
Penelope’s gaze shifted to Hansnet
“Someone who’s clinging to that phone so desperately… isn’t she the most likely suspect?”
