The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss

Chapter 2624 Wasted Efforts

Jade’s rudeness made Floyd’s face darken.

Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.

“The shares of Stanton Corporation belong to the Stanton family. Back then, Uncle Noah signed his shares over to the company so that he would only enjoy the dividends. Now that he has left the company, he will not be able to enjoy the dividends. Aunt Jade, your plan has failed. These shares aren’t part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.”

Jade’s complexion was dull.

“Then what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I don’t care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I won’t rest!”

Jade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.

Floyd’s face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.

“You should go back and wait for the police and the company’s notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase you for the money owed, yet you demand for the shares? I’m not Noah, so I don’t care how you will survive. We don’t have time to watch your act.”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the butler.

“Please see her out.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

Before the butler could speak, Jade became a little anxious and stood up furiously.

“Big Brother, you can’t say that! Noah is your younger brother. You add insult to injury when he’s in trouble. If I tell the media about this, I’m afraid they will also be very interested in this matter!”

Floyd’s face was stiff. His eyes froze instantly, and his breathing deepened.

There seemed to be a dead silence in the air.

Hah! This was a blatant threat.

Nicole suddenly felt that although Jade’s old habits had not changed, she had somehow improved.

However, they could not compromise because if they gave her a smidge, she would ask for more.

Jade was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

Nicole spoke from the side.

“Go ahead and tell the media. We can still afford the money for suppressing trending topics. Aunt Jade, who are you trying to threaten? You’re so old, yet you still want to rely on others to survive. Uncle Noah must have left a lot of money for you, but you don’t even appreciate it. Come at us with everything you have, Aunt Jade. You should know that we have been supporting Uncle Noah because he’s our relative, but it’s not our duty to do so. Don’t think that you’re in his position. Our family doesn’t support idlers.”

Nicole’s words to Jade were ruthless.

“I’m your second uncle’s wife. How am I an idler? It’s only fair for me to inherit his property. Nicole, why are you speaking so harshly? Do you think I have no other way?”

Jade glared at Nicole aggressively.

Just as Nicole was about to speak, Clayton squeezed Nicole’s hand and looked at Jade with a half- smile.

“Since you know what Noah has done, you should know that you aren’t the only one with inheritance rights, huh?”

Jade’s expression changed slightly.

Her breathing paused.

Clayton smiled. “You should go back. We will find a way to help you so that you won’t be starving for the rest of your life.”

Starving?

Now, even the most ordinary migrant workers would not starve to death.

Jade’s chest was stuffy.

She was so anxious that she neglected the most important thing.

Noah’s biological daughter was not dead.

Jade glanced at Floyd with a dark gaze. Finally, she restrained her emotions and said goodbye with a fake smile.

“Big Brother, you should think about it carefully. After all, I am Noah’s only wife. You shouldn’t be so indifferent to your relatives. It won’t be good when we drag each other down, right?”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

The butler followed behind to see her off.

Nicole snorted coldly with a glum face.

“She’s threatening us. She’s really the same as Uncle Noah.”

Floyd’s face was cold and gloomy.

“Get the lawyer to go through the formalities quickly. We can’t let this woman take the advantage.”

Nicole nodded.

The right to get the dividends from those shares should be given to Selena!

Clayton remained silent.

Seeing that they were upset, Clayton reminded them.

“Dad, don’t you think that something is off?”

“What?”

“That woman came here to collect her inheritance. In fact, she doesn’t really care that much about Uncle Noah. She only wants the company and shares. She’s also well aware of what Uncle Noah has done. More importantly, her reaction to Uncle Noah’s crimes is too calm. She didn’t even care that her husband cheated on her, raped another woman, or had an illegitimate child. She didn’t leave until I said that she wasn’t the only legal heir. If my guess is correct, she is probably going to trouble Selena.”

Clayton thought about it and spoke his mind.

His face was solemn.

Nicole subconsciously raised her head to look at him. She instantly understood something and had a bad intuition.

“I’ll inform Selena right now.”

Clayton smiled and comforted her.

“Don’t worry. When you ask the lawyer to deliver the contract, just mention it in passing. It’s more effective to tell Mr. Ferguson than to tell Selena.”

Nicole pursed her lips.

She felt a little sorry for Selena.

Nicole was unaware of what happened before and even blamed her for hurting Floyd.

However, after she found out about what happened, she realized that Selena had a much more difficult life than she imagined.

Selena’s birth and existence were bitter.

Nicole should not have said those things to Selena.

“I’ll go find her. I have to apologize to her for what happened last time.”

Floyd nodded. “You should go in person to show your sincerity. Talk to her, and tell her that we’re a family if she is willing to accept us. This has nothing to do with Noah. She’s still your friend after all.”

Nicole nodded.

Selena might not be willing to take the shares, but they should show their sincerity.

Nicole invited Selena to a cafe near Chatty’s and Chance’s school.

It was more convenient to pick up the children after.

When Selena arrived, Nicole was already there. Nicole smiled and waved to Selena.

Selena smiled and walked over.

“Have you been waiting for a long time? Sorry, there was some traffic on the road.”

“No, I just arrived.”

Nicole looked at Selena with a smile. Selena looked much better than before.

“I asked you out this time because I wanted to apologize to you. I’m really sorry for saying those harsh things the last time you were at my house. If I were in your shoes, I’d feel hurt by those words.”

Selena smiled and shook her head. She took out a small gift box from her bag and handed it over.

“Don’t take it to heart. I can understand why you were mad since we hurt your father. It was indeed my fault. Eric used the wrong approach. This is a small gift I picked for you. Eric said that you like to collect gemstone bracelets. I bought this from a businessman in Dubai. I hope you like it.”
