Desires Die Hard

“Think about it. Don’t make a scene.” Dennis added.

Paige said nothing. She was stiff, her lips pressed tight together.

She was ashamed.

She hated to admit that she had acted on impulse.

Dennis didn’t want to accept her as his younger sister at all. She was the only one who got excited.

Her lips were slightly open, and there were teeth marks on her lower lip. She said in a small voice, “Dennis, I… I thought that my mother was the victim.”

Dennis sighed. “They are both victims in the matter. There is no need for you to be so aggressive.”

He put his hand on his nose. Paige’s stubbornness made him tired.

“Dennis, I want to go out and chill out.” Paige was too ashamed to stay in Anya’s ward.

“Okay.” Dennis didn’t want Paige to stay here either, in case Anya was bothered.

Paige left.

Dennis came to Anya’s bed. “Anya, how is your health? Are you experiencing any discomfort?”

Anya shook her head. “No. I feel fine.”

Dennis was a little bit relieved. He nodded. “Paige has been spoiled by us, so she has a bad temper and she can be blunt. Please forgive her.”

“She didn’t know the truth. It’s understandable for her to misunderstand. We just need to explain clearly.” Anya didn’t want to talk about this anymore.

“Right,” Dennis said.

“Dennis, Anya needs more rest.” Evan, who hadn’t spoken a word just now, walked up behind Dennis and said.

Dennis got v

what she meant. He looked at Anya. “Take care.”

“Okay,” Anya replied.

“Dennis, let’s talk outside,” Evan said.

Dennis nodded and went out of the ward. Evan followed him.

They walked slowly and stopped on one side of the corridor. A conversation between them began.

501, 20 API

Evan said, “Anya mentioned that you planned to give her 20% of the equity.”

Dennis glanced at Evan, who had an air of power. “Yes, I do. It’s a kind of reimbursement.”

Evan smiled thinly. “Don’t you think 20% is too much?”

“Evan, what do you mean?” Dennis asked.

“As far as I know, the Ford Group is a family business whose share structure is complicated. The sudden step of giving Anya 20% of the equity will cause a stir.” Evan’s voice was flat.

The Ford Group was worth a ton of money, 20% of which could make someone a super–rich man.

But it was a family–owned enterprise whose power structure was complicated.

Whereas Evan was in control of the Welton Group alone. If he wanted to give out some of the equity, nobody dared to oppose.

So he didn’t want Anya to take the 20%, for it might cause controversy and scheming.

The wealth of the Welton family could make her super–rich, too.

She didn’t need the money of the Ford Group.

Dennis didn’t know Evan was so familiar with the Ford Group. He started to appreciate Evan, which was shown in his eyes. “Our share structure is a bit complicated. But it won’t affect the shares I am. going to give her because the 20% belongs to my

father.”

This meant that even there were objections, nobody could interfere.

Those were Kyan’s shares.

Nobody got to judge.

“With that said though, I don’t want to put her through troubles. She is pregnant and needs rest.” Instead of money, Kyan cared more about Anya’s health..

“Don’t worry. Anya is my sister, and I won’t do anything that would hurt her,” Dennis said. His father wanted to make it up to Anya by giving her the shares. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He would feel sorry until the day he died if he didn’t make up for what he did.

“All right,” Evan said.
