“What is it?”
Bethany gently squeezed Faye’s hand, comforting her. Eventually, she took the phone from Faye’s hand and placed it aside, saying, “While the Freeman Group isn’t fully in crisis yet, you should sell your shares at a high price!”
“No way!” Faye widened her eyes. “Those shares are not to be sold! I’m counting on them for my retirement. If I sell them, I’ll lose my influence at the Freeman Group! Absolutely not!” Bethany sighed, continuing to calm her. “Auntie Faye, just think about it. If the Freeman Group can’t weather this crisis, your shares will be worthless. Besides, there’s no need to worry! You’re just temporarily selling off your shares.”
Faye wavered a bit. “Temporarily?”
Bethany saw she was falling for it and continued, “I’ll try to find reliable international buyers. Once we get the funds and finish our ongoing projects, we can earn the money back. By then, you can buy back the shares. Auntie Faye, consider it a temporary arrangement with the buyers. When the crisis passes and Elijah returns to see you’ve managed the company well, he’ll surely be pleased.”

Bethany wanted to press on, “Auntie Faye…”
Faye raised her hand and stopped her, saying, “Bethany, this isn’t a trivial matter. Letthink about it.”
Bethany was a bit displeased, but she knew it was not wise to push further. “Alright, Auntie Faye. Just don’t take too long. We can’t afford any delays.”
After saying that, she left the office.
Faye sat alone in her office, and for the first tever, she finally felt the immense pressure that came with this position.
It was no exaggeration to say that half of her life was at stake…
Faye did not want to give up the company or her shares, but Bethany was right. To save the company, selling her shares was the only option. If she chose to keep the shares, they would be meaningless if the company went under.
With reddened eyes, Faye sat in silence for half an hour before finally calling Bethany and informing her, “Go ahead and sell them.”
Bethany suppressed her excitement and said in a serious tone, “Auntie Faye, rest assured, I won’t let any mistakes happen in this matter.”
The next morning, Bethany found a buyer. She took Faye to the agreed location to sign the contract with a buyer named Walter Fole. Since the company and the person were overseas they opted for an online electronic contract signing

I arranged this through connections, and he’s very reliable. He even promised not to resell the shares easily. If you buy them back when the funds are recovered, he’s willing to let go.”
Faye was skeptical. “Isn’t it too good of a deal? How can someone be so foolish? What’s his motive for doing this?”
Bethany chuckled and responded, “He’s extremely wealthy and just wants to return to the country. Buying shares paves the way for that. Relax, Auntie Faye. There won’t be any issues.” Faye entered with a mix of belief and doubt. However, she burst into anger upon reading the contract, screaming, “We agreed to only sell my 20% of shares! Why is he including Erin’s 10 % and the Freeman mansion? I won’t sign the contract!”
Bethany patted her back to calm her.
“Auntie Faye, considering the critical situation of the Freeman Group, your 20% shares alone won’t be enough to fill this massive loss. Besides, he mentioned that the mansion isn’t for sale. It’s just temporarily being used as collateral. You can still live in the mansion, and once the projects are completed and the money is earned back, you can buy it all back, right?”
While the logic made sense, Faye still had her reservations.
“But… the price is too low!”
