Those equity certificates were once regarded as waste paper by her. She would not care or sell them. Franco Sanchez had sold lots of his shares in order to save thepany, so he lost his control over thepany before he got the disease and died. Arianna had no energy to take care of thepany business. She had authorized someone on behalf of her.
With her shares reevaluated, she could just stay at home to sleep, read or listen to music all day, and she would get her dividend payment on her bank ount.
What’s more, after a few months, she received another equity gift from Travis’s will. A considerable proportion of the equity, plus her own, was enough for her to take back control of thepany.
Out of respect for the deceased, Arianna finally sat in his office after the repetitive invitations from the inheritancewyer. Arianna was not surprised that she was mentioned in Travis’s will, but Travis was still too young to set up a will beforehand.
The fat, chef-likewyer exined to Arianna, “Mr. Cooper made a will many years ago and would make adjustments every year. He mentioned you in histest will. The reason why I contacted you sote is that Mr. Cooper said in the will that I should contact you in a reasonable period of time, so this gift would not affect your life, such as your marriage. As we know, you are now single, so it’s time for business.”
Arianna nced at the transfer agreement and decisively refused the gift.
The fatwyer said, “I understand your rejection because Mr. Cooper’s additional terms in this will are indeed very embarrassing.”
“What?” Arianna just paid a look at Travis’s signature on the paperwork with that nce.
“When you ept this gift, you need to receive the supervision and management of a foundation. When you make a profit, you must donate 50% of the dividends to the foundation, and you need to invest a lot of energy and wealth in it. The funds of this foundation are only used for two kinds of people, bursaries for orphans and medical expenses for people with mental illness. Dealing with these two types of people is really not a happy thing. You are not short of money, so you can call this equity transfer from Mr. Cooper an entrusted obligation transfer rather than a gift of interest. Perhaps, he thinks you are the most suitable person. However, this is indeed a very hard job, especially for a youngdy like you.”
Arianna knew it was Travis’s tactic, but her mind was shaken. She said, “If I refuse, how should this equity be disposed of?”
“ording to Mr. Cooper’s wishes, in that case, the equity will be transferred to the government with the same terms. But you know, it is not a good thing for thispany, because your grandfather created it from scratch. And, as a result, this foundation…”
The fat, peacefulwyer managed to give Arianna a half-hour speech. Then, in the end, Arianna signed her name on the paper.
Thiswyer surely worked for Travis Cooper, that’s what she thought.
Soon she knew that the foundation didn’t need her to do anything at all. It came with abundant funds and perfect management, and she could not return the equity to anyone now.
Although she invested all the proceeds of that share in the foundation, the real significance of Travis’s legacy was that she now had absolute control and voice over thepany that once belonged to her family. Now everyone in thepany would have to listen to her. She was now officially thergest shareholder of Sanchez Group, thepany founded by her grandfather. She had an office in thepany now. And no one would dare to say anything if she hardly went into her office.
However, she rarely interfered with anything, and she had not been subjected to any harm or frame. The general manager, Manager Jenkins, stood by her side and gave her utmost support. Manager Jenkins had helped her a lot when her grandpa passed away.
With the same family name, Manager Jenkins was a good man, honest and upright, low-profile and diligent. He served Arianna like a student to her while doing the teacher’s work for her, patiently instructing thepany’s way of doing business with her.
Arianna seemed to have be some celebrity, and she also joined a few certain circles. She participated in many charitable activities, in fact, to pass the time, but those activities brought a good reputation to her; she went shopping or made her investment in a totally disordered manner, but she always ended up making money and praise from others. There was an oldw in her life that stayed unchanged, like, she could lose everything in a blink of an eye, but she could also easily get extravagant sess which was adored by all except her.
She made a lot of new friends, and her old friends kept in touch with her. Those guys could not share her innermost feelings but be good enough to apany her to spend a lot of boring time.
Under the kindness of friends, she was forced to go on blind dates. Everyone agreed that Arianna should live at her age rather than being a mature, sophisticated rich wife who had been married for decades.
She ate dozens of free lunches and dinners. She had seen dozens of so-called elites from all walks of life. Finally, she was convinced of one thing, she really didn’t feel anything about men anymore.
Those men, ugly in both looks and manner, harassed her, and she didn’t hate it, but she could put on a smile at them. Those handsome, elegant men with a powerful background sat next to her and ignored her. She could just ept the fact.
Melissa once took her to watch a movie with strong sexual content, and the actor had a perfect face and figure, which put Melissa in some kind of heaven, and put her into sleep halfway.
A few months of this kind of life passed quietly, more perfect than she had longed for.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
Then one day, General Manager Jenkins told her that he would resign in the near future.
He said, “My wife and daughter have been in Country A for two years now. I should also go to reunite with them soon.”
