Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1458:

He snapped his fingers, and an assistant quickly placed a document on the table. “Let’s end this charade, shall we? As the majority shareholder of the Owen Group, I have the authority to make decisions.”

Casper objected immediately, his voice thick with disbelief. “Impossible! You can’t possibly own that much of the shares. Even Enzo only held fifteen percent!”noveldrama

“That’s correct. The rest were distributed among various shareholders,” Jayden replied smoothly. “I have now acquired all those shares, holding forty-two percent.”

Casper retorted, “Even with that, you don’t have the deciding vote!”

Jayden narrowed his eyes. “I wasn’t finished. When did you get the right to interrupt me?”

He continued, “With Enzo’s shares now in my possession, I control considerably more than forty-two percent.”

“The Owen family despises you,” Casper argued desperately. “They would never give you their shares!”

Jayden met Casper’s gaze with an inscrutable expression. After a brief silence, Casper’s realization dawned, and he turned to Brook. “It was you!” he accused. “You gave your shares to him! How could you? You despise him more than anyone!”

Brook, who had been calm since Jayden’s arrival, watched Casper with amusement.

“Jayden and I might not see eye to eye, and everyone knows we’re adversaries. But when it concerns the bigger picture, we both understand what’s important. We remember that we are family,” he explained calmly.

He paused, letting his words resonate. “Casper,” he then added sternly, “now you are the enemy we stand united against.”

Casper was stunned. Victory had seemed so certain, but Jayden’s appearance had completely turned the tide.

Ignoring Casper, Jayden addressed the other shareholders. “The Owen Group is facing a serious crisis, and I am aware that this stems from past errors within the company. I understand your concerns and dissatisfaction. Therefore—”

He signaled, and his assistant quickly distributed documents to the shareholders, pointedly excluding Casper.

“This is my plan for the Owen Group,” Jayden declared. “If you support it, then as the majority shareholder, I will rightfully assume the position of chairman of the board.”

Casper broke into a cold sweat, bewildered by the sudden turn of events. His thoughts raced until realization dawned. It was Brook who had arranged the timing of today’s meeting.

“You orchestrated this!” Casper said, shock written all over his face. “You chose this time deliberately!”

“Precisely,” Brook responded, unflustered, his legs crossed and a trace of amusement in his voice. “It was crucial to give Jayden the chance to secure shares from the small investors.”

“And securing those shares,” Jayden chimed in, “has cost me a small fortune.”

Casper staggered, pointing an unsteady finger at Jayden. “Why are you helping the Owen Group? Why support Brook? Don’t you remember how your unborn child passed away? By supporting Brook, you’re betraying your child!”

Jayden’s expression turned steely, his tone cold. “Casper Happer, that was uncalled for.”

Casper’s gaze hardened. “You’ll regret this.”
