Unwanted Girl Spoiled

Chapter 249 Chapter 249 When Braiden and Marisa were released from police custody, they retired straight to the Sawyer estate Marshall and Luciano had been waiting at hfor their retum.

As soon as their parents stepped through the door, both brothers rushed up to greet them.

Dal, Mom youre hnally home? Braiden nodded and gave them an approving look.

Cloud work, both of you.

I didnt expect you to pull strings so quickly.

I thought wed be stuck inside for at least a week, but we were out in just three days surprisingly, that comment left Marshall and Luciano exchanging confuseid glances.

at their father and said, Wait ..

what do you mean we pulled strings? They looked at t Braiders brow furrowed.

Wasnt it you two who got the charges dropped and arranged our early release! Braiden immediately picked up on their hesitation.

His expression twitched for a second, then he brushed it off, offering a new interpretation to save Lace for his sons.

Well, whatever the case, looks like the evidence wasnt strong enough to hold us .

That bastard Nicolas mustve thought he could sendto prison with just that .

What a joke.

At the mention of Nicolas, both Marshall and Luciano quickly chimed in .

Exactly, Dad.

He really thought he could bring you down that easily.

But the authorities still fear the power of the Sawyer family Braiden nodded in satisfaction You two must be exhausted.

Come, lets sit in the living room and rest for a bit, Marshall offered, guiding his parents toward the couch. Seeing that the house was in order and nothing appeared out of place, Braiden finally allowed himself to relax. But soon enough, he asked, Alright, what about the company? Everything okay while 1 was gone? That question immediately caused the brothers to tense.

Something happened? Braiden narrowed his eyes.

Out with it Just ... a small hiccup, Marshall muttered. Luciano followed up, Yeah, nothing major .

Its just..

Bryan, Nicolass assistant, secretly recorded your arrest and posted it online .

Since then, the companys stock has been limit down every day.

A bunch of companies started buying up shares at bargain prices, so a decent chunk of our holdings got diluted Whatt Braidens face wem pale.

He shot to his feet How much of our shares were bought uja ? Marshall hesitated before finally replying in a low voice, Over half in just three days.

OVER HALF Braidens roar shook the entire house.

He was livid.

Hed only been gone for three days.

Three .

And in that time, more than 50 % of the Sawyer Groups shares had slipped through their lingers.

What die hell were you two doing? he shouted, face flushed with rage.

Three days! I was gone for three damn days, and you let the company slip away! Were you trying to land the empire over to someone else?! It was rare for Braiden to lose his temper like this.

Both Marshall and Luciano were stunned Marissa quirkly stepped in, trying to calms things down.

Braided Youre the one who told them not to make any moves while you were away.

Now youre yelling at then for doing what you asked ? Braiders chest rose and fell as he tried to catch his breath.

He turned to his wife, gritting his teeth.

Yes, I told them to hold back, but any idiot should we realized the shares were slipping away.

They shouldve tightened their grip, consolidated our holdings .

If someone was using that as cover to launch a courdinated tikrover Dad, relax, Marshall cut in .

The shares were bought by a bunch of scattered companies.

None of them hold more than a small per no way theyre a threat to our control percentage.

Theres 1/3 гH Chapter 219 Right.

Luciano added quickly.

We double checked.

All those companies are unconnected.

Unless they all teamed up impossible were fine Branden slowly nodded, the logic sinking in practically Marissa sam his expression soften and jumped in to support her sons.

Exactly, Braiden.

Theyre not islions.

You yell at them for doing what you said, but if theyd taken insituative and things had gone woung, youd be yelling at them anyway.

No matter what, theyre still better than that linde hastand.

Nicolas.

If it were him numing the company these past thure days, the whole place wouldve been in flames by now Yeah , Luciano muttered.

That idiot wouldve bankrupted the company Marissa snorted.

Not surprising.

His mother was just as clueless.

Hsmart could be bett Braiden considered their words.

He still didici think highly of Marshall or Landarm, but at least compared to Nicolas .

well, it could be worse Now that he was back, things would settle.

Stock prices would bounce back, and once the panic buyers sold off, theyd scoop the shares back up.

Everything would return to normal.

He finally sighed and said, just stay alert next time.

This dul go too badly, but if someone had been orchestraying a coordinated attack, wed he Dont worry, Dad, Marshall assured him.

Unless those companies all joined forces, theres no way they could shake our control Braiden nodded. But just as he started to relax, Marshalls phone rang He answered Marshall its had his assistant said in a panic. What now! Marshall tensed.

Almost simultaneously, the familys butler crushing into the rooms.

Mr.

Sawyer somethings happened! What is it? Braiden barked.

The butler swallowed nervously.

Its the headlines, sir.

United Press just announced that its completed a majority acquisition of the Sawyer Group They now own 52 of the company What did you just Ith say? Braiden bolted upright. He stormed over and grabbed the butter by the collar.

That cant be right! Thats fake news! Ive never even heard of United Press! have verified seals ... I I swear its true the budder stammered.

Their officiall documents h Impossible ! Braiden growled.

Didnt you both just say the shares were scattered? Where did United Press cfrom !! Luciano chimed in, equally confused.

Yeale That nnever showed up in any of the trades Marshall finally spoke, his voice hollow.

They didnt buy the shares directly.

United Press is the parent company.

They used multiple smaller firms to acquire the shares piece by piece so we wouldnt notice they were all connected? Braiden and Luciano turned to him in stunned silence. Oh, they have a grudge, Marshall murmured with a bitter smile, his face pale.

What the hell are you talking about? Braiden grabbed his shoulder tightly.

Who the hell is United Press? Why are they doing this? What did I ever do to thein ite had made plenty of enemies in his life, sure.

Hut United Press He didnt even know th Anghe very least, if he was going down, he wanted to know why. Marshall looked at him, eyes wide, lips trembling.
