Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 624

Connor was still her number one. That guy's face was the kind that sticks with you, the kind you see once and can't forget. Too bad, no matter how many times she tried, Connor just wasn't interested. Heck, he even had her tossed into the police station himself. After cooling her heels in detention for a couple of weeks, she'd sworn off him for good. One day, she'd have both him and Chloe at her mercy.

"Chloe, why didn't you give us a heads up you were coming back today?" Leah asked, treading carefully.

Chloe replied, "Spur of the moment decision. What's going on with selling the shares?"

Jacob wasn't pleased. "You've seen how Belle Époque's stock has nosedived. Now that you're in with the Sartori family, I guess the Meadows family doesn't impress you much anymore. I can't blame you. Ms. Claire's offering five times the market value for my shares. Of course, I'm selling. If you're not going to help, at least don't get in the way."

Jacob had pinned his hopes on Chloe to turn the company around, but she'd flat-out refused to get involved or even contribute a design. Now that she was married to Connor and connected to the Shaw family, it should've been a win-win. But as her dad, he hadn't gained anything from it. Since there was nothing to be had from her, she was useless to him. Only cold, hard cash counted.

"As one of the biggest shareholders, selling off shares isn't just your call. It needs the nod from the major shareholders. You can't go it alone."

Lisa knew selling to Claire would be a dagger to Chloe's heart. She wanted to see Chloe squirm. She wanted Claire to overshadow her at every turn. If Chloe had any pride, she'd dump her shares, which would suit Lisa just fine. Chloe hadn't gotten anything out of the Meadows family anyway.

But Chloe just grinned, "Dad, who says I only have twenty percent of the shares?"
