The next day.
Just as Catherine was making breakfast for Lucas, Joel suddenly got a call from Old Master Yule.
"Joel Yule, you actually sold the shares of thepany. This is our Yules'' family business which our ancestors left to us. Get to thepany right now. Even if you can''t physicallye here, you have to crawl over, you wicked thing!"
The old master scolded so loudly that even Catherine heard it in the kitchen.
"Dad..." She looked at Joel worriedly. "I guess Mr.
Kawada went to thepany."
"It''s fine. Since I had decided to sell them, I was already prepared to be scolded
by your grandfather." Joel smiled bitterly and helplessly.
"Grandpa is very angry now. I''m afraid he won''t just stop at scolding you." Catherine frowned.
"The worst thing that can happen is that they expel m e from the Yule family. I don''t care anymore." Joel gave a long sigh. 1
"I''ve obeyed your grandparents all my life. Back then, it was them who insisted on me being with Nic, which led to me separating from your mom. The
fatherly love that should''ve belonged to you was all given to Mnie, but the most ridiculous thing is that Mnie isn''t even my daughter. Yet, your grandparents still protect Damien and Mnie. I''ve had enough of this life." 1
"Grandpa, you''re not alone. Mommy and I will be with you." Lucas lifted his cute little face andforted him.
"You''re a good boy. In the future, everything Grandpa has will be for you, your mom, and Suzie." Joel smiled. "Thinking about it, I''m only in my 50s. I want to start anotherpany."
"Dad, you''ll always have my support." Catherine smiled. "I''ll go with you to thepany after breakfast. After all, I was the one who sold the shares. Mr. Kawada must have gone to thepany in person. I have to talk to him in person."
At 9:00 a m., the father and daughter drove to Yule Corporation. 1
When the two walked into thepany, all the employees cast odd and indignant nces at the two.
"The person in charge of Yule Corporation might change soon. I wonder if we''ll still be called Yule Corporation."
"What does that mean? What are you guys talking about?"
"My God, it''s such a big event but you still don''t know? Today, President Kawada from Delta Co. Ltd. came to thepany, saying that Joel Yule sold all his shares to him. President Kawada will be the biggest shareholder in the future."
"Isn''t Delta Co. Ltd. from Japan? So ourpany is going to be a foreign- fundedpany in the future?"
"Yeah. More importantly, it''s impossible for Old Master Yule to regain control of thepany. Kawada definitely won''t let him manage Yule Corporation. I''m guessing things in the upper management will be turbulent."
"Joel Yule must be insane. Yule Corporation is the
Yule family''s foundation."
"No kidding! All the shareholders are going mad with anger. Didn''t you see them rushing over this morning? They''re all in the conference room now."
Catherinepletely ignored the employees'' chatter and walked directly into the conference room with Joel.
The conference room was noisy, and Old Master Yule was yelling at President Kawada, "In Yule Corporation, what I say, goes. Without my consent, he''s not qualified to sell his shares to anyone. You can continue dreaming if you want to enter ourpany." "Mr. Yule, don''t get worked up. Look, Miss Jones and M r. Yule are here." Mr. Kawada grinned. "It was Miss Jones who personally agreed to sell the shares to me. We even signed the transfer agreement and I''ve already remitted the money. If you back out now, I can sue you for fraud."
