Chapter 351


    “On the day of the proposal party, I was so overwhelmed with anger. Not at others, but at myself for


    failing Xan and feeling unworthy as a mother. But today, by theke, hearing her words and seeing her


    smile, I felt a bit of sce. At least, when she was betrayed by Miranda and Matthew, you were there to


    comfort and protect her, sparing her from utter despair”


    As Susanna finished, everyone fell silent, including Samuel.


    Though he didn’t trust Onion, he had to admit his mother was right. If not for Orion, Xan would have


    had a much harder time getting through it all.


    Onon handed a handkerchief, “Please don’t be so saddened. They’ve all received the punishment they


    deserved”


    “Thank you.”


    “Miranda’s in the ICU now. The doctors say even if she pulls through, shell likely be in a vegetative


    state. With her malicious intentions, and betraying the kindness of our family and all the teachings we


    gave her, she deserves this oue.”


    Susanna sobbed


    “But Matthew deceived Xan for so many years, relied on our Nightshade family to climb from a small


    manager to the president of the group, and gained a lot of benefits. Now he is just in a hospital for


    recovery, it feels insufficient.”


    “He’s no longer the president”


    “What?”


    Everyone looked at him in confusion.


    Orionid a document on the coffee table.


    Christopher, Susanna, and Ethan were stunned.


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Samuel was so shocked he stood up from the sofa, incredulously picking up the document


    “The Martinez Group’s Equity Transfer Agreement?”


    *100% of the shares, with the signatures from 53 shareholders. You’ve acquired the Martinez Group?!”


    No wonder there was the sudden disappearance of the Martinez Group’s shareholders yesterday. No


    wonder Matthew’s scandal didn’t affect at all to the projects and resources they had already signed. It


    turned out that the mysterious and powerful hand behind all this was his!


    He certainly had the means, but how could it happen so quickly? Bing the sole proprietor of the


    Martinez Group within a day is unheard of in the business world


    Christopher was dumbfounded, looking at him in disbelief, “Mr. Lockwood, why acquire the Martinez


    Group?”


    “As a gift for you.”


    “What?”


    Everyone was shocked, even the usuallyposed Ethan showed a look of disbelief.


    The Martinez Group might not a famous enterprise, but it had nearly a decade of history and was worth


    at least a billion. And he just acquired it and wants to give it to them for free?


    “No, we can’t ept this; this is too much!”


    Christopher waved his hands repeatedly, standing up in agitation.


    This is an entire group, invaluable. It’s not something to joke about!”


    “If I were joking, I wouldn’t have brought it here today.”


    Samuel paused repeatedly checking the contract. After confirming it was valid, he couldn’t help but feel


    a surge of emotions.


    Orion was seriously investing to win Xan over. Or was that for someone of his wealth, this amount was


    trivial?


    “Orion, how much did you spend?”


    “$200 million”


    “What?!”


    Samuel almost leaped in shock, “Only $200 million? You’re picking up junk? The Martinez Group’s


    market value is at least over 1.5 billion.”
