Chapter 1390

Author: Sienna Yates
The night had passed without incident.

Victoria sat on the sofa, nearly nodding off several times.

In the early morning, the sound of a door opening stirred her from her drowsiness. She sat upright, eyes fixed on the entrance.

The door soon swung open, and a slightly flustered Johanna's voice came from outside.

"Lex, I couldn't reach Victoria at all last night. I didn't know if something had happened to her, so I had no choice but to turn to you for help."

Lex replied calmly, "My people traced Victoria's last known location. She was here."

Johanna and Lex stepped inside together.

Both froze at the sight before them—Victoria sitting on the sofa, fully dressed and composed.

Lex hadn't expected her to still be here.

Johanna hadn't expected her to be sitting in the living room at all. Shouldn't Victoria have been sleeping soundly on the large bed in the bedroom? Why was she here?

Seeing that Victoria was unharmed, Lex visibly relaxed. He opened his mouth to speak, but at that mom

    Hearing this, Silas didn't panic in the slightest.He said calmly, "What exactly happened? Tell me clearly."The assistant's voice trembled. "We were taking the documents to process the share transfer… but suddenly there was a fire. The flames spread fast, and everyone started running. "Both lawyers thought the other one had taken the documents, so they both ran out. We didn't realize… we didn't realize… that neither of them took anything. The share transfer agreement… it was burned to ashes…"Silas let out a cold laugh. "I knew it. There's no way Sharon would be that obedient. So this was her plan all along."What are you panicking for? We have notarization and backups. Even if the transfer agreement was burned, the contract between Sharon and me is already legally in effect. Trying to back out this way? She's way too naive."The assistant's voice broke, on the verge of tears. "I thought the same thing, so I asked the two lawyers to retrieve the electronic backup and the notari

    After leaving Silas's villa, Sharon asked, "Thomas, did he hurt you? Do you want to go to the hospital and get checked?"Thomas replied, "No. Silas didn't harm me."Sharon wanted to ask how Silas had managed to capture him, but the words stopped at her lips. She didn't push further.She said instead, "I'm glad you're okay. The Kalen family estate might not be safe anymore. Do you want to stay somewhere else for a while?"Thomas said calmly, "No need. They've already gotten what they wanted. They shouldn't come after me again."Seeing that he insisted, Sharon said nothing more.From beginning to end, she showed not the slightest regret or heartache over transferring her shares—as if what she had given away wasn't equity, but just a cup of tea.Thomas turned his eyes to her flawless profile and suddenly asked, "You must've made arrangements before going in, right? Why didn't you send your men in?"Sharon kept driving, her eyes fixed on the road ahead."Since Silas chose to lives

    Scott said, "Maybe Thomas's real reason for staying beside Sharon was the original shares."All the help he gave her before was just to earn her trust, so that when it came to a truly important choice, she would choose him."He looked at Victoria and added, "Think about it carefully. He did give a lot for Sharon—but compared to the value of Sharon's ten percent of original shares, what he gave really doesn't amount to much, does it?"Victoria's brows tightened slightly.It was true. Even if Thomas had given Sharon fifty billion, compared to ten percent of her original shares, that amount… still didn't seem like much.Victoria said, "If he helped Sharon for the sake of those shares, that does make sense."But in the end, the original shares ended up in Silas's hands."Do you think Thomas plans to snatch the shares from Silas?"Even if Silas is foolish, he will do anything to protect his last lifeline. If anyone dares touch his original shares, he'll fight them to the death."At t

    Silas waved his hand."I don't think it was smooth at all. If it weren't for Lex laying the groundwork, and all the money he poured in, how could the plan have gone this smoothly?"Scott's expression tightened slightly."Even so, I still feel like it isn't that simple. Silas, you should be a little more careful…"Before Scott could finish, Silas looked at him with open wariness and cut him off."Scott, don't tell me you're thinking about taking a cut of my original shares?"Scott froze for a second. "Yours?"Silas said righteously, "Yeah. Mine. Right from the start, I was the one spending money and putting in the work."I had to take the lead in stirring up the shareholders, draw Sharon's hatred onto myself, and even kidnap Thomas."In the end, I traded my ten percent of ordinary shares for Sharon's original shares."But you and Victoria? Other than whispering behind my back, what did you actually give up?"A faint, cold curve lifted at the corner of his lips."I do all the

    Silas hesitated.Yes—trading his ten percent ordinary shares for Sharon's ten percent original shares wasn't a loss at all. In fact, it was a huge gain.Maybe it was because he had suffered too many losses at Sharon's hands in the past. For some reason, he felt wary.He looked at Thomas cautiously. "Your words don't count. Sharon has to agree to it."As soon as he finished speaking, Sharon's voice came through."Fine."Silas studied Sharon's expression carefully. He couldn't see anything unusual.But he wasn't that easy to fool."This is something you said yourself in front of all the shareholders. I didn't force you. Don't come to me later and claim I threatened you into choosing, then deny the transfer and say it isn't valid."Sharon nodded. "I understand."Silas still wasn't fully reassured."In that case, say it clearly in front of everyone—you're transferring the shares voluntarily and selling them to me. Everyone here can be a witness. You don't have a problem with tha

    "But Silas, you can't just take your sister's shares for nothing, can you?" Thomas's voice was calm, but every word cut sharply."Everyone watching knows exactly how much the original shares in Sharon's hands are worth. Not to mention, those shares control stakes in multiple cutting-edge technology companies…"Thomas looked at Silas with a faint, ambiguous smile."As the saying goes, even real brothers should settle accounts clearly."Not to mention that Sharon is your younger sister. But even if she were just an ordinary shareholder, would you really force someone out of Kalen Group without paying a single cent, Silas?"The moment those words fell, the shareholders watching the live broadcast all straightened in their seats.Stealing someone's money was no different from killing their parents.In the past few years, Richard had also used underhanded methods to force some shareholders to sell their shares, allowing himself to leap into the position of largest shareholder.But e
