Walter continued goading Victor, "Right now, Mr. Zeller and the others are giving you the opportunity, Mr. Langley. Will you really not take this chance to seize thepany for yourself?


    "Langley Group is the toppany in Amberton, and the Langleys are the richest family in Amberton. Mr. Langley, you know very well how Langley Group has been operating these past few years.


    "The future prospects and development of Langley Group will only get better, not worse. If Mr. Zeller and the rest really sell their shares to otherpanies, you might not even retain the right to an opinion, Mr. Langley."


    "Walter, are you being sincere?" Victor stared at Walter, who was awyer with words sharper than anyone else''s.


    Still, everything that he said until now was true.


    Victor was tempted, so all he needed was for someone to give him a push.


    "If you want Mr. Zeller''s and the others'' shares, I can help you go through all the documents and procedures," Walter said calmly. "After all, I was brought back from the orphanage and raised by Mrs. Langley Senior."


    "But after Natalie leaves, won''t you also leave with her?" Victor was still hesitant. "You''re helping Yvonne and the employees of Langley Group im theirpensation now. How can I trust you?"


    Walterughed immediately upon hearing this. He took off his gold-rimmed sses and carefully wiped them with a cleaning wipe.


    "Mr. Langley, this is where you''re wrong. Even if I don''t help Yvonne and the others negotiate with you, what if they apply forbor arbitration or expose Ms. Walkers ''great aplishments'' at Langley Group online? Do you really think Langley Group would remain unaffected?"


    Walter smiled faintly. Although Victor was Grace''s son, his methods and decisiveness were far inferior to Grace''s.


    It was just that Grace was getting older, and perhaps knowing what kind of person


    her son was, skipped Victor and raised Natalie under her wing.


    But who would have known that Grace wasn''t being sincere toward Natalie?


    There were probably other hidden schemes at y here.


    Natalie''s interrogation of Grace in the ward was unlikely to yield any answers, but she didn''t care. Her main goal was to stall her while Walter worked on persuading Victor to buy out the shares from the other shareholders.


    Victor, being indecisive, wanted the shares, but Grace had strictly prohibited him from acquiring the shares held by Kevin and the rest. Walter didn''t need to use borate ttery—a little pressure was all it took to convince Victor.


    "The animosity between Mr. Zeller and Ms. Langley has already been formed. To put it bluntly, if Mr. Zeller doesn''t leave, Ms. Langley will never be able to enter Langley Group. Mr. Zeller''s voluntary departure would be a dignified solution for both parties.


    "It''s also out of respect for Mrs. Langley Senior that we''re considering selling the shares to you first. That way, even if Mrs. Langley Senior decides to give her shares to Natalie, the majority of the shares would still be in your hands. In the future, Langley Group will still be under your control."


    After Walter finished speaking, he looked through the documents left by the other shareholders. Theirbined shares weren''t all that significant.


    Grace held thergest number of shares, followed by Kevin and Jack.


    Victor, as Grace''s son, held the least shares. Although his percentage held was small, he received the highest annual dividends.


    This was because Grace''s share of the dividend was also given to Victor and Diana. On paper, Grace gave her shares to Natalie, but in reality, Natalie did not receive any dividends whatsoever.


    This was also the decision Grace had made before she got into the car ident while saving Natalie.


    At that time, Walter disagreed with it, but Natalie herself had no objections, so he couldn''t say anything.


    Perhaps because Walter didn''t live with the Langleys and did not receive as much attention and care from Grace, he was able to see things more clearly-and earlier than Natalie did.


    Grace gave her shares to Natalie,


    having her secretly manage Langley Group. But Natalie only took a basic


    sry, with all the dividends going to Victor and Diana. She even


    said that


    they were a family, and since Victor and Dianacked the abilities,


    Langley Group was to be handed


    over to Natalie in the future.


    Still, as a daughter, it was only natural for Natalie to want her parents to live better lives. She recalled the love and protection Grace had shown her and was deeply grateful. Therefore, she hadn''t raised any objections to Grace''s arrangements.


    But Walter could clearly see that Grace was using Natalie as freebor-she managed thepany, negotiated projects, and earned the money, but she did not receive any dividends. Natalie herself didn''t mind or argue about this because she valued love and loyalty above all else.


    Although Natalie had only begun to uncover a small part of Grace''s true nature, she was slowly peeling back theyers and no longer allowed herself to be used subserviently.


    Moreover, what was most infuriating was how the Langleys had disregarded Natalie''s health and relentlessly forced her to draw blood for Diana over the years.


    "Mr. Langley, think it over for yourself. I''m just the middleman here, analyzing the pros and cons for you," Walter said as he stood up. "I came back this time to help Langley Group''s employees negotiatepensation with Mrs. Langley Senior and the management.


    "Mr. Zeller and the others have no objections and are willing to offer the best treatment to the departing employees. Now, I''m going to talk to Mrs. Langley Senior about thepensation."


    With that, Walter strode out of the hotel''s private meeting room. After he left, he nced at Kevin, who nodded in understanding.


    Kevin walked into the meeting room and took away his equity transfer agreement. Mr. Langley! I''m really sorry, but I can''t sell my shares to you anymore because the CEO of Celestial Group has invited me out. Mr. Lewis and I have thought about it and decided not to sell the shares to you for now."


    Chuckling, Kevin added, "I''m truly sorry about spitting into your daughter''s mouth back then. How about this? I''ll make an apology video and publish it in the press


    to formally apologize to your daughter."


    "No," Victor refused without hesitation.


    If Kevin posted a video and published it, it would make the matter known to everyone. In the future, would Selena and Tyler still even want to kiss?


    "But Victor, your daughter wants me to give up my shares without me taking a single cent—that''s just impossible." Kevin sighed deeply. "If it were you, would you give up your shares without asking for a single cent just because of a spit?"


    Victor''s expression turned grim. If it were him, not only would he not give up his shares, but he would probably p the person threatening him twice. Thus, Kevin''s temperament could actually be considered quite good.


    "Well, if ites down to it, we''ll justpensate your daughter a bit," Jack responded. "Victor, if the situation esctes and bes ugly, it won''t look good for your daughter''s reputation. Kevin admitted his mistakes, but is your daughterpletely meless?"


    "Enough of that. Let''s go! The CEO of Celestial Group is still waiting for us!" Kevin piped up.


    "Wait." Victor hesitated for a moment before saying, "I''ll buy the shares you hold."


    "You sure?"


    "I am."


    "Then, sign the document!"


    Kevin and Jack exchanged a smile. "We won''t take advantage of you either. We''ll


    sell it to you at the current stock price."


    "Okay." After Victor spoke, he made up his mind.


    The three of them quickly signed the document in the private meeting room. After


    it was signed, Kevin called Walter.


    "Mr. Watson, we have the signed equity transfer agreement, so the subsequent procedures are in your hands now."


    After Walter answered the call, he walked back into the room, giving Victor a slight smile.


    "Congrattions, Mr. Langley. Langley Group is yours from now on."
