Chapter 413
The imposing convoy left Cedar Ridge Villa, and Charlie clicked his tongue in frustration, saying, "What was that all about?"
Tiffany comforted him by gently rubbing his back, saying. "Dad don't be upset. It's just some shares that were sold. We can repurchase them later" "Silly girl." he said, finding it easy to say such things.
Morwen was confident because the Azure Sea Royal Family had wealth to spare. The shareholders sold all their shares without hesitation because the terms she offered were too temping. Prices far exceeded expectations, making them eager to sell.
With at least forty percent of the shares under her control, it would not be easy for them to repurchase them.
Charlie sighed, thinking. This is no longer just about inoney"
Tiffany, however, remained unconcerned. She patted Charlie's back soothingly, as if comforting a child, and said. "Don't be upset. Dad. Those shares will come back. I promise." It was laughable; she had countless ways to deal with someone, and Morwen was hardly a challenge.
Thalia felt a bit worried and couldn't help but remind Tiffany, "Tiffany, don't get involved, and don't let Richard interfere. We should handle our family matters ourselves
This marriage was viewed as the Kelley family trying to align themselves with the Hampton family. With the company facing a crisis, asking Richard for assistance wouldn't be difficult, but others would have their opinions.
They might spread rumors and gossip, accusing them of betraying their daughter for favors. In these times, it's common to hear bitter remarks from those who can't get what they desire.
Tiffany nodded and replied, "I know." She never intended to involve Richard in this matter. It was a trivial issue that she could handle on her own.
Not long after Morwen and her convoy left, David returned with Eric unharmed in the back seat. "Dad, Mom, sis, what happened? Did we have guests just now?"Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
"No," Tiffany said, pinching Eric's cheek. "From now on, let David pick you up and drop you off from school. And don't wander around outside the school alone, understood?"
"Got it," Eric nodded obediently. For him, there was no need to ask why; whatever Tiffany said was like an order, and he would follow it.
Tiffany cherished his obedient nature, feeling both heartbroken and proud. Having a treasure like Eric was genuinely remarkable.
The grand convoy continued to parade through the streets. Inside the car, Morwen sat with hier tension-filled maids, all too aware not to utter a word, fearing they might provoke her and earn her ire.
To their surprise, Morwen was smiling instead. She showed no trace of the anger she had felt at the Kelley family; instead, she seemed to have come to a realization, laughing with unrestrained delight.
After the recent encounter, Morwen was confident that Tiffany had no recollection of the events from her childhood. Not only had she forgotten, but she also seemed utterly oblivious to any concept or doubts surrounding those memories. This revelation was genuinely fantastic news for her.
Morwen could hardly contain her joy, wanting to laugh aloud. The fact that Tiffany didn't remember meant no one knew

her true identity, making it much easier for Morwen to eliminate her without any support or obstacles. With this thought. the tension that had gripped her all day began to ease.
One of the maids couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xanthus, what have you so happy?"
"Good news." Xanthus said, leaning back in her seat, radiating arrogance and pride.
Jeremy had spent a long time in Lovell City with the person he sought right under his nose, yet he remained oblivious. Meanwhile, Morwen had just arrived and quickly found the long-lost princess who had disappeared over a decade ago, indicating that circumstances were on her side.
Morwen gazed out at the scenery, a more profound smile forming on her lips. During her time in Lovell City, she was determined to find a way to eliminate Tiffany, who was a potential threat.
The secret of Tiffany's true identity was something she couldn't let anyone find out and had to guard fiercely. Once she eliminated Tiffany and severed the royal family's only bloodline, she would wait for the king to pass away. Then, it would be only natural for her, the current Saintess, to ascend to the position of queen.
It was the dream she had nurtured her entire life. After over a decade of planning and enduring, victory was finally within reach; she couldn't allow any mistakes now.
Morwen took a deep breath, and as she closed her eyes to rest, she imagined herself ascending to that supreme position, with everyone bowing at her. The more she thought about it, the broader her smile became.
The nearby maid exchanged glances with the others and quietly asked, "Miss Xanthus, do you still want to acquire remaining shares?"
the
"Of course!" Morwen opened her eyes, showing a hint of impatience on her face. "What's taking so long? Haven't you with that man yet?"
She had dispatched people at noon to handle matters, and within just over an hour, they swiftly secured several shareholders through sheer financial power.
dealt
Only one remained a tough nut to crack, refusing to be swayed no matter how tempting the offers were. Morwen couldn't believe anyone could resist such a massive financial temptation
"Double the amount!" Morwen declared with confidence, "Keep at it until he agrees! No matter what, she was determined to secure the Kelley family company. Richard was also on her agenda. No one would take anything away from her. "But..." the maid replied hesitantly, "the staff reported that they've already offered the best conditions, yet the major shareholder, Owen Hughes, refuses to agree. He even said..."
"What else did he say?" Morwen asked.
"He claimed we were foolish and stubborn for insisting on opposing the Kelley family..." the maid continued.
Morwen's face twisted in anger as she exclaimed, "He doesn't know what's good for him! Since he has a restaurant, find a way to bring it down! Let's see if he still dares to oppose me!" "Understood!" The maid nodded and immediately instructed the subordinates to get to work.
Thanks to Owen's popularity and exceptional cuisine, the Maximus restaurant has been thriving lately, attracting a steady
stream of customers.
Owen had stopped overseeing company matters months ago, focusing solely on being a shareholder and enjoying his retirement while running the restaurant.
As long as the Maximus restaurant thrived each day, he felt a great sense of satisfaction. However, today marked the arrival. of a third wave of trouble. 07:52 Fri, Nov 80F I

The first two disturbances involved complaints about finding urbanitary items in their dishes or a napkin mixed in with the food, and various petty tactics were used.
While those incidents were relatively easy to manage, they escalated significantly and became uncontrollable this time. It turned out to be a matter of life and death.
