Chapter 158 - Sixteen Generations (1/2)

”What about his daughter's shares?” Taylor asked the man sitting before him.

”Her shares are under me, but I can't sell those or transfer them to anyone else. Ethan wasn't stupid enough to just give them to me, he made sure that they were under her name and no body except for her would be able to sell those.” James replied as he picked up the coffee mug from the table.

Taylor hummed as he became lost in his own thoughts. ”What about yours?” He spoke up after a while.

”Mine aren't that much. Ethan gave half of his shares to me which were around thirty percent of the total shares. The remaining of his shares and his wife's shares were transferred under Stella's name, making me her guardian. The only reason I could still control her shares is that she hasn't returned yet. Her shares alone only make up sixty percent in total.” James explained it to him.

”Who said she hasn't returned?” Taylor added, taking a sip of his coffee leisurely.

”What do you mean?” James narrowed his eyes at him.

”You should have kept her under your wing, within your sight. You could have easily controlled her then. But no, you decided to put her in some foster family, whom you paid a huge amount of money. Where did that lead to? Her running away from there and you couldn't even track her now!” Taylor replied lazily.

James eyes widened in shock when Taylor's words made their way to his ears, cutting through the quiet air of his of the room. He wondered how did Taylor know all this.

”Don't wreck your brain as for how I know all of this. What you need to think of is how to stay away from her, since she's back in Berlin. Don't try to harm her if you want to live whatever days you have left. And her shares belong to her and her alone they will.” Taylor completed his words before getting up and leaving James alone in the private room with his thoughts.

He came here to make sure that this fool didn't do anything to harm her. He was worried to hell and back when he came to know that Adam visited this company along with her.

”Young Master is calling you Miss.” An elderly woman came inside the room and informed Stella.

”Just call me Stella, please.” Stella got up from the bed, making her way towards the old lady. ”You must be the caretaker of this place.” She spoke up softly, coming to a stop before her.

”But…” The old lady began to reply but was interrupted by Stella.

”No buts.” Stella gave her a wide smile. ”May I know your name?” She asked the old lady.

”It's Judith but you can call me Judy.” The old lady replied to her politely.

”Alright, Aunt Judy. Lead the way, please.” Stella added.

The old lady smiled at her and began to guide her. She was touched by her kindness. She was almost sixty years old now and had been taking care of this mansion since her late twenties. She had seen enough of the world to differentiate between good and bad people. And she was sure that this girl here walking next to her, was definitely a good one. She was genuinely very happy for her Young Master.
