Chapter 234


    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 hisments 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 home now?”


    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 wouldter 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 expect me to 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 hister years tomand respect. Apologizing was simply not in his


    vocabry.


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


    Now they wanted me to 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 Buts can bully Milly? If that’s the case, she should consider moving out!”


    Philip didn’t say a word.


    Meanwhile, Milly nced 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 n for Milly had to consider it carefully.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    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 mmed his cane onto the floor, “An apology is out of the


    question.

    Stephanic. That should be sincere enough, right?”


    29%1


    +5 Pearls


    Jordan knocked the table gently with his fingers; his expression nonchnt. “Ten per cent.”


    Philip exploded. “No way! Seven per cent is the most I can give.”


    He only had 30% of thepany’s shares, making him thergest 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 But Group in the future. That


    was simply uneptable.


    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 beingrades–in–arms and having good rtions with their families,


    Philip and Andrew were alwayspeting andparing everything.


    Now that Milly was Master Nirvana’s disciple, her association with Buddhism’s believers brought


    honour to the Buts. 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 unt it at every opportunity, making it a direct


    p in the face for the Buts!


    More than just the shame of 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’tply, 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 Buts


    and shouldn’t think about leaving.


    Hearing what he said, Jordan immediately took out a contract and ced it in front of the old man.


    “Since Grandpa agreed, let’s sign the contract now and avoid any furtherplications.”


    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 thanter made no

    difference.


    He took the document, scanned through it briefly to ensure everything was in order, and signed his


    name at 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 all, you


    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 But Group was a significant deal.


    Even if she didn’t do anything for the rest of her life, this 10% would ensure she lived in luxury and


    comfort. She wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing.


    Jordan had once mentioned she would be the CEO of But 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.
