“What’s the solution?”

Samantha gently held her hand to soothe her, then took the phone from her hand to quietly place it aside.
Take advantage of the fact that Wright Construction Group hasn’t completely fallen into crisis yet. You should sell your shares at a high price!”
“No way!” Frida’s eyes widened. “I absolutely cannot sell my shares! I need it for my retirement. Besides, if I sell my shares, I’ll lose my say in Wright Construction Group! I will definitely not sell it!”
Samantha sighed and continued to reassure her, “Aunt Frida, you’re confused. If Wright Construction. Group really can’t survive this crisis, your shares will be worthless. And don’t worry; selling the shares is only temporary!”
Frida was feeling a bit hesitant.
“Temporary?”
Samantha saw that she had piqued Frida’s interest and continued, “I’ll try my best to find a reliable buyer overseas. Once we get this funding and complete all our ongoing projects, we’ll be able to earn the money back and buy back the shares. Aunt Frida, just think of it as temporarily leaving the shares in the buyer’s hands. Once this crisis is over and Maverick returns, he’ll definitely be happy to see that you’ve managed the company so well.”
Frida didn’t speak as she was lost in thought for a long time.
Samantha wanted to seize the opportunity to persuade Frida. “Aunt Frida…”
However, the latter raised her hand to stop Samantha. “Samantha, this is no small matter. Please allow me to think about it some more.”
Samantha was a bit displeased, but it wasn’t appropriate for her to say anything else. If she pushed Frida too hard, her motive would easily be noticed.
“All right, Aunt Frida, but don’t take too long to think about it. We can’t afford to delay this matter.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Frida sat alone in her office, feeling the immense pressure from being in her position for the first time.
This decision could be said to have cost her half her life.
No matter whether it was the company or the shares, she didn’t want to give them up.
Yet, she felt that Samantha made a valid point. The only option left for her to save the company was to sell her shares. However, if she chose to keep her shares, the shares would become meaningless once the company went under.
With reddened eyes, she sat quietly for half an hour before calling Samantha. “Go ahead and sell it.”
Samantha suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and said solemnly, “Aunt Frida, don’t worry. I will make sure there are no mistakes in this matter.”
The next morning, Samantha found a buyer.

She brought Frida to the agreed-upon location to sign the contract. The buyer’s name was Toidi, and both she and her company were based overseas. Therefore, this time they were signing an electronic contract
online.
While on the way, Frida dawdled down the street.
Samantha noticed her hesitation and reassured her, “Don’t worry, Aunt Frida. Toidi is the heiress of a huge corporation with a net worth of hundreds of billions I pulled some strings to find such a reliable buyer. She has also promised me that she won’t easily resell the shares. If you want to buy back the shares after you’ve recouped your funds in the future, she’s willing to sell you back the shares.”
Frida was a bit skeptical. “Is there really such a good thing and such a foolish person? What’s her motive for doing this?”
Samantha laughed. “She really doesn’t need the money. She just wants to move back to her homeland, so she buys the shares to pave the way. Don’t worry. There won’t be any problems.”
Frida followed her in skeptically.
However, after reading the contract, Frida was furious!
“Didn’t we agree to sell only the twenty percent of shares I own? Why did you include Sheralyn’s ten percent shares and the Wright residence in the deal? I won’t sign it! I absolutely won’t sign it!”
Samantha gently patted her back to soothe her.
“Aunt Frida, if we don’t do this, considering the current critical situation Wright Construction Group is in, your twenty percent share alone is not enough to fill this huge gap! Besides, she said that the house. wouldn’t be sold as it’s just temporarily used as collateral. You can still live in that villa. Once the project is completed and the money is earned back, you can buy it all back, right?”
Although what Samantha said is true, but…
“But this price is way too low!”
Frida pointed at the contract, her heart aching. “Only eight billion eight hundred million for all three? Previously, just my twenty percent share alone would have been worth more than this!”
“Oh, Aunt Frida! With her wealth and influence, she must have looked into Wright Construction Group’s
background. Given the current on Wright Construction Group is in, this is already the best offer.
You shouldn’t hesitate anymore! Aunt Frida…”
“All right, then.”
Samantha spent a long time persuading and cajoling Frida until she finally got the latter to sign the share transfer agreement, reluctantly hand over the property deed for the Wright residence, and sign the mortgage contract.
After everything was settled, Frida looked frustrated and said, “Now that the funding issue is resolved, you need to be more attentive during this period. Make sure to properly fix any existing problems and closely follow up on other projects. Don’t let the workers cut corners and cause any more quality issues. Help me buy back my shares as soon as possible!”
“Roger that. Aunt Frida. Don’t worry. I’ll handle everything properly and efficiently.”
Samantha clung to Frida’s arm like a kid, her face beaming with uncontrollable joy.

The two of them laughed and got into the car, driving away.

However, as soon as they left, Gwendolyn, who was sitting in her office in Angle, received a text message.
The text message had only one word: Succeeded.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
In just three days, the Wright family would experience a tremendous change!
She was filled with anticipation.
Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the office door, and Sherman walked in right after that.
Unlike his usual gentle and refined demeanor, he was wearing a grim expression with a frown.
Before Gwendolyn could ask him anything, he walked straight to the guest chair opposite her and sat down, separated from her by an office desk.
“What’s wrong?” Gwendolyn asked, feeling puzzled.
“I didn’t expect you to enter the real estate business because of him.” His face was gloomy, and there was even a hint of desolation in his
eyes.
I can’t believe he found out so quickly. Come to think of it, although the Ferguson family may not be as powerful as the Harris family, they are still a prestigious family, so it’ll be easy for him to investigate.
However, Gwendolyn didn’t intend to hide it from him either.
“Exactly.”
Seeing her actually admit it with an unbelievably calm expression, Sherman felt really frustrated.
“Why? If you look around, you’ll find that there’s someone better waiting for you. Can’t you just-
“Are you talking about you?” Gwendolyn interrupted him, her calm eyes meeting his gaze.
Sherman’s face turned slightly red.
He mustered up the courage to confess his feelings, but Gwendolyn spoke before he could. “You should know, though, that it’s impossible for us to be together. Even Joaquin stands a better chance than you.”
Sherman’s heart sank, and a hint of hurt could be seen in his eyes.
“I don’t understand. Why?” He pondered, “Is it because of Eloise? She was indeed wrong before, but she has been grounded lately and behaving herself. She knows her mistake, and she won’t pick on you again in the future.”
Gwendolyn shook her head with a smile. “I’ve known for many years that you like me, but your is merely due to the discontentment of not being able to have me.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Sherman didn’t speak, while his charming eyes slightly reddened as he gazed at her.
Gwendolyn continued, “You are gentle, humble, and treat everyone with kindness, but you have one flaw -you turn a blind eye to the flaws of someone close to you! You know how badly Eloise treated me back then, but you didn’t mention it at all these days.”

Sherman choked up, but he couldn’t help feeling resentful. “What about Maverick? His sister and mother were once cruel to you too. Isn’t he turning a blind eye to that too?”
