Hearing Caleb , Aria knitted her eyebrows . Her assets fell by seventy million dollars in two months . How useless the Cole family wast
With a polite smile on his face , Caleb took a few steps closer to Tina . “ Tina , pay the money , and the shares will be yours right away ”
Wide – eyed , tina stammered , “Tour , four hundred million dollars ? ” Her estimation was dissens of millions at most
Fryderyk was taken aback . He soon recalled the story his colleague had shared with him .
It was about a woman who had beaten her husband in court and managed to reclaim her shares , which were worth five hundred million dollars .
Instantly , the criminal groups prepared the perfect scam operations for her and tailed her . Aris turned out to be the woman in the story
When Tina was lost for words , Caleb turned to Joseph , “ Grandpa , Aria earned the money on her own , and we didn’t give her a penny Legally speaking those shares are her personal assets .
Joseph’s face turned livid . “ You all see me as a bad old man who covets her shares . If it weren’t for the Saxon Group , I wouldn’t give a damn about them ”
In the oppressive atmosphere , Tina opened her mouth again . “ Every member will benefit from the family business if it thrives . Grandpa is doing this for the whole family
She had the shares of the Fletcher Group . When necessary , she didn’t mind contributing her shares to the family business .
Aria asked in a bland tone , “ Tell me , how ? ”
Tina replied , “ If the Saxon Group thrives , the stock prices will soar . Won’t you got more dividends ?”
Arja let out a short . “ Tina , Aria doesn’t have any shares of the Saxon Group . ” Silvia explained in a hesitant voice .
Instantly , embarrassment got Tina . However , she quickly added , “ Because she is Mrs. Cole , Grandpa is afraid that she will give her shares to the Cole
family ”
What a poor excusel Caleb and his parents didn’t bother to argue
e with Tina .
Because of what Tina had said , Aria pondered for a while . She then said , “ I can give you my shares . ”
“ What is your condition ? ” Joseph asked .
“An exchange . Four percent of the Saxon Group . ”
“ No way ! ” Joseph’s face darkened . “ The Cole Group is far inferior to the Saxon Group now
Daniel didn’t have many descendants , and he was too paranoid to hand over the power to others .
Therefore , few people were loyal to the Cole Group . As a result , the Cole Group was now far behind the Saxon Group .
After the financial crisis , its stock price plummeted , and its outstanding workers were poached by its competitors . It survived the crisis but was in a critical situation .
Without that confidential project , few companies wanted to cooperate with the Cole Group .
Aria seemed unfazed by Joseph’s anger , and she sat down . “ it is true , but don’t you want its medical chips , Mr. Saxon ? ”
That was the ultimate goal of Joseph’s collaboration with the Cole Group . Unfortunately , the Cole Group kept its technology confidential . In other words , Joseph’s plan failed .
Aria’s divorce wasn’t the real reason for the end of the cooperation between the two families . It was an excuse for the Saxon Group to cut ties with the

Cole Group .
The Saxon Group had wasted a lot of money in this cooperation and got nothing in return .
In the past two years , Joseph Had sounded Aria out more than once . The problem was that Aria knew nothing about that confidential project of the Cole
Group
Joseph thought that he should get the confidential project before the others did , or the bankruptcy of the Cole Group With more shares , his pla work . That was why he needed Aria’s shares .
