Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 143

"Alright, you go to bed first; I'll come out in a bit." Ethan gave Ines's hand a little squeeze.

Ines nodded and said, "Okay."

She then stood up and stormed out of the study. In her haste, she bumped into the door and let out a muffled "ouch".

Ethan quickly went over, pulling her hand away from her forehead. She had a swelling bump already. He recalled the first time they shared a bed, when she had also banged her head on the bed frame. He felt both annoyed and amused. "Girl, watch where you're going."

"I'm so pissed!" Ines kicked the study door again and complained, "Even you're against me."

Ethan chuckled and hugged her, saying, "Silly girl, don't kick the door when you're angry. What if you hurt yourself?"

"If I get hurt, I'll tear it down."

Ethan pinched her face and led her out of the bedroom with a sigh. After applying some ointment on her forehead, he returned to the study. Ines, having made up her mind and being exhausted, fell asleep soon after.

When Ethan returned to the bedroom and found Ines sleeping, he shook his head. This girl's mood came and went so quickly.

The next day, Ines remembered her recent decision and found the lawyer appointed by her mother's will. She officially signed the document and became the second-largest shareholder of the Galeana Group.

This news quickly reached Hunter. He asked Silas, "What's up with Ines? Why has she suddenly changed her mind and agreed to accept the 20% shares?"

"Mr. Chairman, this is good news. Ms. Ines must have finally seen the light. Those shares are rightfully hers after all." Silas laughed. This was a good sign. Ines had taken the first step, and there was now hope for the future.

"Clang!"

Shirley dropped the thermos in her hand onto the floor. She might not know much about business management, but she understood that 20% of shares was a significant number.

"Who's there?" Hunter's low voice came from the office.

Before Shirley could leave, Silas was already standing in front of her. "Ma'am, the Chairman is asking for you."

Shirley picked up the thermos from the floor and headed for the office as if nothing had happened. "Hunter, you look a bit off lately. You've been working too hard, so I made you some soup."

"Stop coming to the office for no reason. It doesn't look good." Hunter spoke sternly.
