Chapter 796 One Dollar Share Transfer 

“Ms. Quint, we at the Federal Trade Commission received a tip–off that Quartet Group is suspected of engaging in unfair competitive practices and market disruption. Please come with us for further investigation. 

“A report was filed with the Department of Public Works that there is a severe safety hazard with the unauthorized construction of a helipad on the roof of Clover Center. We will begin demolition now, and the building will be sealed off for one to three months while we carry out work.” 

Different authorities stepped out from behind Aaron, announcing the decision of their departments. 

Any of these decisions could spell doom for Quartet Group. 

Not to mention, these agencies were ganging up on the group. 

The authorities‘ power abuse could threaten the survival of any company. 

In other words, Quartet Group was facing its biggest crisis ever.

Aaron lit another cigarette. 

He took a long drag and said nonchalantly, “Are you happy with that, Ms. Quint? If you’re not, I could get more people here.” 

“What do you want, Mr. Bowman?” 

Darcy pulled through the rage, but her tone was strained with tension. 

Aaron was clearly out to get her. 

“Give it to her.” 

Aaron waved his arm. 

His secretary approached with documents in hand and gave them to Darcy. 

Darcy flipped through the papers, her expression icy. 

“Are you expecting me to hand over the shares of Quartet Group and Sky Ocean Corporation for just one dollar?”

Darcy shook with rage. 

She even suspected that her eyes had deceived her. 

Aaron was making an absurd request. 

She pressed curtly, “Are you kidding me, Mr. Bowman?” 

“This is outrageous. Watch your language with Mr. Bowman. He is the son of the mayor,” the secretary chastised with a long face. 

Darcy ignored her, staring Aaron dead in the eye 

“I’m serious, Ms. Quint. Who is joking with you?” 

instead. 

Aaron said gleefully, “My family has the support of two influential and prominent families. Now that my dad has become the mayor, the Bowmans will rise to the top as the only elite family in the city. 

“Hand over your shares to appease my family, and someday, I might just give you a helping hand.” 

The man from the Department of Public Works chuckled. 

“What do you mean by someday, Mr. Bowman?” 

An intense gaze kept following Darcy creepily. 

The other men laughed lewdly. 

These people often made off–color jokes during drinks, so they could read each other’s 

minds. 

“Mr. Bowman, you can’t just talk about giving a helping hand without doing anything. Why don’t you just make Ms. Quint your secretary? She is capable enough to run your companies.” 

“The secretary can do the job, and you can do her. Tsk, tsk. 

The few men snickered. 

Darcy clenched her fists. 

The unwanted attention and humiliation from these sleazy men drove Darcy to anger and 

tears.

The angry look on Darcy’s face sparked tension in Aaron’s loins.

“That’s a good suggestion. You can be my secretary, Ms. Quint.” 

Aaron was not joking about it. 

He knew he had Darcy in the bag. 

“Dream on, Aaron.” 

Darcy said icily, “Quartet Group is not due for repayment with Lilyrose Bank. How could the bank demand immediate and full repayment now? 

“The government funding was only approved a few days ago, and we are still putting the project together. What does the treasury intend to get out of the investigation?”
