Chapter 680
Chloe flashed a slight smile. “If we’re really in this together for the company, why are you so hell–bent on prying
these shares from me?”
Her seemingly nonchalant words made Keira’s face flush with embarrassment and her eyes twitch slightly.
Chloe laid bare her hypocrisy. If it was all about gaining more benefits and power, there was no need for all the
fancy talk,
“I’ve got my own company to manage. Since Carolina trusts you that much, I hope you won’t let her down. As for
me… I’ll just be a regular shareholder, collecting a bit of dividends each year. Not too shabby.”
Carolina’s face darkened; Chloe’s words stung.
Chloe still held fifteen percent of the shares. A thought that left a bitter taste in Carolina’s mouth. After all the fuss,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChloe still held a significant share.
Chloe picked up her glass of water, taking a delicate sip before speaking in a light tone,
“Shall we proceed? Are we still discussing our wedding gifts?”
Carolina took a deep breath, annoyed by Chloe’s control over the situation. She leaned back into the couch, her
tone icy.
“As for your mother’s inheritance, we won’t touch it. But remember, your mother was a Summers. Her dowry
should be shared with the other Summers family
members.”
Chloe arched an eyebrow with a cold smile spreading across her face.
“So, to make things fairer for Keira, you and dad both give fifteen percent of your shares, and then another eight
percent each to Keira! Any objections?”
Chloe raised an eyebrow. “What about me?”
Carolina frowned. “Your grandpa gave you fifteen percent right off the bat, isn’t that enough? Don’t forget about
the hefty payment we just made to you!”
“Ha…” Chloe scoffed. “You use the Summers money to buy off my shares, then gift them to Keira! And you call this
fair?”
Chloe ran a hand through her hair, giving a resigned laugh as she slouched on the couch armrest.
“Not only am I without wedding gifts, but I also have to pay for hers? I’m not her mom, why should I treat her so
well?”
“How dare you!”
Carolina’s reprimand rang out as soon as Chloe finished her sentence. However, Chloe merely glanced at her, then
turned to Keira, continuing on her own accord, “Or maybe if you call me ‘master‘ right now, I’ll consider it a willing

Keira’s face turned beet red. The smirk that had crept onto her face upon receiving most of Carolina and Nick’s
shares was now replaced by humiliation. She bit her lip, looking at Chloe in a pitiful manner, and whispered,
“Chloe…”
“Call me ‘master.”
“Chloe!” Viviana’s voice suddenly sharpened, followed by a pain–filled groan.
“Mom, don’t get worked up, it’ll affect your wound…” Keira looked at Viviana’s mouth wound with concern.
Viviana glared at Chloe in pain and said, “Keira is my daughter! You want her to call you ‘master‘, do you think she
is your dog? You are really disrespectful!”
Chloe calmly replied, “In your eyes, isn’t your master whoever gives you money is? There should be at least twenty
percent of my share in that hefty payment, right? Compared to your twenty million dollars, I could support her for
five generations!”
