Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 256

Tears welled up in her eyes, a cocktail of resentment and humiliation threatening to spill over. She had reached the breaking point. "Chloe, happy now?"

Chloe just smiled, cool as a cucumber. She crossed her arms and leaned in close to Lisa. "Dear sister, if you had such an opportunity, would you give up just for a few apologies?"

Lisa was stunned, then livid. "Chloe, are you messing with me?"

Chloe stood her ground. "Dad, when are Lisa's shares being transferred to me? I'll handle Miss Y's legal notice after that."

Jacob knew deep down that Lisa was no longer dependable. The future of Belle Époque lay with Chloe. And now, she was even willing to call him 'dad' again. The daughter he'd raised for twenty years was talented and capable, a far better bet than any professional manager.

"I'll get the lawyer over," Jacob said. He turned to Lisa and added, "Come on, don't be stubborn. You made this mess. Your sister is willing to help, and you should be grateful. If Miss Y doesn't withdraw the lawsuit, the company's stock will plummet, and bankruptcy won't be far off. Your shares will just turn into worthless paper."

Indeed, reconciling with Miss Y and publicly announcing the settlement was their only shot at saving Belle Époque. He had no choice but to give Chloe even the entire company if it came to that.

Lisa turned pale as Jacob started dialing the lawyer. Unable to hide it any longer, she dropped to her knees beside Jacob's bed. "Dad, the shares... I already sold them..."

It was like a lightning bolt for Jacob, who took a moment to process. "What did you say, Lisa?"

Eyes shut tight, Lisa admitted, "I sold the company's shares a month ago."

Jacob, trembling with rage, pointed at Lisa. "You monster, say that again."Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Leah also realized the gravity of the situation. She pushed Lisa's shoulder. "Who did you sell them to, and why?"

Lisa couldn't reveal the reason. Head bowed, she muttered, "I don't know, it was some company. A lawyer handled the deal."

"You monster, you don't even know who you sold them to? How much did you sell them for?"

Lisa, shaking, answered, "Thirty million..."

Jacob gasped for air, then fainted. A month ago, Belle Époque's market value would have been at least a billion. And she had sold it off for just thirty million...

Leah, furious, slapped Lisa across the face. "You... you're beyond hope!"

At that moment, Leah's regret peaked. She had always thought Lisa was just a bit reckless, rude, and narrow-minded. But she never imagined Lisa could cause such a disaster.
