Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 234 Transferring Shares to Milly Resolving to be big-hearted and avoid arguing with these young people, Phillip finally spoke up, "You said you were looking for an apartment. If you don't want to live on campus, you can stay at home. It's not far from your school, and the driver can take you back and forth. Why bother living in an apartment?" Though his comments were addressed at Milly, his eyes never met hers.

Before Milly could respond, Jordan intervened, "Weren't you the one who wanted Milly out of the house yesterday? How could she dare to stay at hnow?" Philip felt a bit stung, realizing the truth in Jordan's words.

Last night, in a fit of anger, when she had refused to apprentice under Master Vajra, he had indeed threatened to kick her out.

However, nobody knew that she would later choose to apprentice under Master Nirvana instead.

"Ahem, forget it. Let's just pretend that never happened. No one will mention it again in the future." Jordan was unwilling to let it go that casily. His gaze was firm as he pressed on, "You should apologise to Milly." "Apologise?" Philip was enraged; his voice rose in indignation.

"I'm your elder! Do you expectto apologise to you, Kids? How ridiculous!" Throughout his life, Philip had faced countless extraordinary events. He wielded a machete in his younger days and a cane in his later years to command respect. Apologizing was simply not in his vocabulary.

The fact that he was speaking to them and offering a way out was already a significant concession.

Now they wantedto apologise?! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could I apologise to my grandchildren? Jordan stared at him coldly, refusing to let go. "Milly was wronged. She's the one who's hurt. You made a mistake. Why can't you apologise? If you don't take a stand now, does that mean anyone in the Burnetts can bully Milly? If that's the case, she should consider moving out!" Philip didn't say a word. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Meanwhile, Milly glanced sideways at Jordan, who signalled her with a look that said, "Don't worry, I've got this." Jordan's real aim wasn't just to get an apology. He wanted everyone to understand that Philip was now backing Milly. So, anyone with a cunning plan for Milly had to consider it carefully.

After all, Philip had never bery his head to anyone in his life. Now if he apologised to Milly, he would directly demonstrate her significance.

Philip's face flushed with anger as he slammed his cane onto the floor, "An apology is out of the question. 13:21 Sat, 6 Jul Chapter 234 Transferring Shares to Milly Stephanic. That should be sincere enough, right?" Jordan knocked the table gently with his fingers; his expression nonchalant. "Ten per cent.” Philip exploded. "No way! Seven per cent is the most I can give." He only had 30% of the company's shares, making him the largest shareholder. Giving up 10% would put him on equal footing with Jordan.

This meant that he would not be the final decision-maker of the Burnett Group in the future. That was simply unacceptable.

Unfazed, Jordan looked away. "If Grandpa can't agree, then there's nothing more to discuss. After all, Old Mr. Tate also heard you when you told Milly to leave. I wonder what he would think about all this." This is a pure threat! Everyone knew that despite being comrades-in-arms and having good relations with their families, Philip and Andrew were always competing and comparing everything.

Now that Milly was Master Nirvana's disciple, her association with Buddhism's believers brought honour to the Burnetts. But if Philip drove her out, and with Andrew's fondness for her, she might find a way to go to the Tates. If this girl went to the Tates, Andrew would surely flaunt it at every opportunity, making it a direct slap in the face for the Burnetts! More than just the shof Andrew's boasting, there was a deeper issue at stake. Philip had been a devout Buddhist for years and recited scriptures for so long. Expelling Master Nirvana's disciple from his home. would be a grave offence to the Buddha, and surely not without unintended consequences.

Finally, by upsetting the Buddha without hesitation, he may face consequences. Perhaps the Buddha purposely caused him to lose something as a sort of punishment. If he doesn't comply, he may face even more serious repercussions.

The old man pondered for a long while, then spoke after weighing the pros and cons, “Fine, 10%. At least it stays within the family." The underlying message was clear: he was reminding Milly that she was still part of the Burnetts and shouldn't think about leaving.

Hearing what he said, Jordan immediately took out a contract and placed it in front of the old man. "Since Grandpa agreed, let's sign the contract now and avoid any further complications." Jordan even thoughtfully removed the cap from a pen and handed it over.

Philip was taken aback.

Philip lowered his head to read the bold title read, "Equity Transfer Agreement".

It was clear now that Jordan had prepared this in advance, setting him up from the start.

Hmph.

Now that he had agreed, there was no going back now. Signing it sooner rather than later made no 13.21 SAL 6 Ju Chapter 234 Transferring Shares to Milly difference.

He took the document, scanned through it briefly to ensure everything was in order, and signed his nat the bottom. "Satisfied?" Jordan examined the document, verifying the signature before tucking it away and said calmly, "Yes" The old man seethed with anger; his teeth clenched. "You're really capable. I raised you with all my heart, and now you'll end up plotting against me?"

Jordan remained unperturbed, "This is not plotting. Let's call it a friendly negotiation. After alyou After akyou agreed voluntarily. If you had refused, I wouldn't put a knife on your throat to force you." Philip sniffed bitterly. His face turned gloomy as he closed his eyes and leaned back to relieve his mind.

The scene had unfolded so quickly that Milly was still processing it.

Though she wasn't familiar with the business world, she understood that owning 10% of a major corporation like the Burnett Group was a significant deal.

Even if she didn't do anything for the rest of her life, this 10% would ensure She she lived in luxury and comfort. She wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing.

Jordan had once mentioned she would becthe CEO of Burnett Group, but she hadn't taken it seriously. After all, it seemed impossible with Philip in charge. But now, Jordan bad managed to secure 10% of the shares from her. She suddenly realised that he had been serious all along. He wasn't joking.
