On the high platform of the press conference, Toby and Wendy sat separately. Beside them sat the
lawyer of the Munn Group and the representative of the business department.
The host was Penny, the PR director of the Munn Group.
At ten o'clock, Penny spoke into the microphone, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Munn
Group's press conference. I hereby announce that the press conference has begun."
"First of all, let's have introductions." Penny pointed to the people on the stage from left to right. "This is
the legal representative of our Munn Group, Gael Wood. Mr. Toby Munn, the president of our Munn
Group, Miss Wendy Munn, the daughter of Mr. Toby, and Mr. Griffin Black, the representative of the
Industry and Commerce Department."
"As everyone knows, Mr. Toby will transfer 10% of the shares to Miss Wendy."
Then, the lawyer read out the relevant regulations of transferring shares.
When the lawyer spoke, the media reporters below began to discuss.
"Mr. Toby transferred the shares to Wendy in such a high-profile manner. Generally, the company
transferring the shares is an internal matter. Mr. Toby, on the other hand, went through a lot of trouble
to hold a press conference to transfer the shares to Wendy."
"Who knows? Let's enjoy their acting!"
After the lawyer finished reading, the man from the Industry and Commerce Department next to him
spoke.
"All the information that Mr. Toby gave to Miss Wendy is legal. I represent the industry and commerce
department to agree that Mr. Toby will transfer the shares to Miss Wendy."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, thin reporter asked Toby.
"Mr. Toby, can I ask you a question?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause Toby was afraid of the flashlights, he especially put on sunglasses.
He looked at the reporter who spoke, "Please."
"Mr. Toby. Your company's shares transfer is a private matter of the company. Why did Mr. Toby choose
to hold a press conference?"
Seemingly expecting the reporter to ask this question, Toby calmly replied, "There was a rumor that
Wendy was not my daughter. I wanted to use this press conference to inform those who spread the
rumors. Wendy was my biological daughter and my future successor."
Audrey, who was not far from the audience, could not help but sneer when she heard this.
He said it was for the sake of Wendy.
There was a rule in Mr. Munn's will. To prevent the inheritance from falling into others' hands when this
inheritance was received, they had to hold a press conference. Otherwise, it was impossible to accept
the inheritance.
"Is that so?" The tall and thin reporter asked coldly, "I heard that Mr. Toby has another daughter, and
the shares you gave to Miss Wendy this time are the shares that the former president gave to your
eldest daughter, right?"
Wendy's expression changed as she glared at the reporter.
This person actually asked such a question at this time.
Toby didn't look good either, but he still calmly explained.
"That's right, the shares originally belonged to my eldest daughter!"
When Toby said this, everyone present cried out in surprise. They hadn't expected Toby to admit it.
Wendy looked at Toby in surprise.
How could he tell the truth?
Under the table, Toby held Wendy's hand and comforted her.
After that, Toby said in public, "My father left the shares to my eldest daughter. She can inherit it on the
day of her twenty-fourth birthday. Before that, it had been kept by me. And today happened to be my
eldest daughter's twenty-fourth birthday!"
Toby's words shocked all the media present. They had never expected that Toby would reveal such a
thing.
In fact, the reason why Toby would reveal everything was because there were people at the scene who
had doubts about the shares. Rather than being dug out, it was better for him to directly tell everything.
The tall and thin reporter continued to ask, "Since the shares should be inherited by your elder
daughter, why did you suddenly transfer the shares to your younger daughter? Aren't you disappointing
your elder daughter?"
Toby looked coldly at the tall and skinny reporter.
"Let me make it clear first. Although the shares originally belonged to my eldest daughter, she told me
she gave up the shares before. And she wanted Wendy to take it over."
"Is it just a phone call? Is there no written statement?"
Wendy glared at the tall and skinny reporter. Why was this person so talkative?
Beside her, Toby still wore a calm expression on his face. "My eldest daughter stated on the phone that
she had given up the shares but did not write a statement."
"Is that so? In that case, the authenticity of this phone has to be investigated!"
"My eldest daughter already knew about the press conference. Now that the press conference has
begun and she has not appeared, that is the best proof."
As soon as Toby finished speaking, the media reporters present discussed animatedly.
"That's right. The news of the press conference has spread like wildfire. Mr. Toby's eldest daughter
must know as well. If she doesn't show up when she finds out, it must mean that she give up this

"That's right."
The tall and thin reporter looked at Toby and asked again, "I still have a question. You said that your
eldest daughter did not appear at the press conference, which means that she has given up the shares.
Does that mean that if your eldest daughter appears at the press conference today, you will give the
shares to her?"
Before Toby could open his mouth, Wendy, who was beside him, could not wait to answer, "Of course,
this is originally my sister's shares. If she appears, my sister will take over the shares."
Wendy's performance won the praise of the media.
Wendy did not express her intention to forcefully take over her sister's shares. Everyone misunderstood
that Wendy and her sister had a good relationship.
Wendy said this because she was certain that Audrey would not appear today.
The tall reporter spoke again.
"Can I ask Mr. Toby and Miss Wendy, when did Miss Wendy say that she would give up the inheritance
rights of shares?"
"Just half a month ago!" Toby explained, "Half a month ago, my eldest daughter personally called me
and told me she wanted to give up the shares!"
"Yes!" Wendy added, "When my sister called my father, I was right next to him. My sister said she gave
up."
"That's how it is. I'm done asking!" The tall reporter sat down.
The host, Penny, continued to speak under Toby's signal. "Next, please send the shares transfer
contract on stage."
At this time, a clear female voice suddenly sounded beside the stage.
"Wait a minute!"
