Chapter 145
After reading it thoroughly, I confirmed that Amelia possessed eight percent of the shares in Smith
Corporation. Despite the small proportion, it was worth a king’s ransom to a poordy like me. I could
stop working and live a good life with the dividends every year.
“Back then, the Smith family was facing awsuit and in need of cash. I asked your dad for investment,
but he rejected me because he needed the money for another lucrative investment. I left in
disappointment, but your mom came to my house very soon.”
Sharon’s eyes beamed when she immersed herself in the memory. “Your mom was smart;
nevertheless, your dad didn’t heed her advice. So, you can imagine they didn’t get along well back
then. She secretly invested two hundred million, for she believed that the Smiths’ project would deliver
better returns than your dad’s n. That was why she received eight percent of the shares in return
without your dad’s knowledge.”
I had never heard someone talk about my mom for a long time. When Sharon mentioned her, I felt a
little ufortable and only put on a faint smile in response. My heart would sink every time her name
was mentioned.
“Grandma, why are you telling me this?”
Fixating her gaze upon me, she took out another document from the folder and handed it over to me.
“Your mom’s shares are supposed to be yours. Now, I’ll transfer them to you. Besides, I’ll gift two
percent of my shares to you.”
My hand became stiff as soon as I took the share transfer agreement. Sharon intended to transfer ten
percent of shares in Smith Corporation to me. I would no longer worry about making my ends meet
once I signed on the paper.
Nheless, I felt that the document in my hands was a hot potato and had an almost irresistible
impulse to throw it away. After going through ups and downs in all these years, I learned to be cautious
and never ept a free meal.
“Grandma, I can’t ept the shares. Please keep it…”
“Please don’t decline it right away,” Sharon interrupted, “Consider the two percent of shares as my
compensation to you, for I’m aware that you’ve suffered a lot ever since you married Lyle.”
Sharon heaved a sigh as though she was embarrassed to continue. After hesitating for a while, she
added, “I lied to Lyle so that he would marry you willingly. Deep down, I’ve never intended to pass your
mom’s shares to him. Eve, do you believe me?”
I wasn’t sure if I ought to believe Sharon. However, my heart softened when I felt the sincerity in her
eyes and read the documents. Given that Sharon was old and lying on the bed in the hospital, I thought
there was no reason for her to deceive me.

I nodded and replied seriously, “I believe you!”
Instantly, Sharon’s lips curled into a smile of relief. She patted my hand and said delightedly, “You’re
always my loved one. Anyway, I have my reasons not to tell anyone about it. When I realized that you
were fond of Lyle, I grabbed the opportunity to pair off you guys. s, who would have thought that fate
has other ns?”
“I’m sorry, Grandma,” I apologized while lowering my head. Sharon wanted the best for Lyle and me.
Nevertheless, we weren’t meant for each other.
“Have you made up your mind to get a divorce?” Sharon asked another question.
Initially, I wanted to tell Sharon that it wasn’t that urgent. When I thought about Christopher and what
Lyle and Crystal did to me, I hesitated no more.
At that moment, my only wish was to be with Christopher to live a happy life that belonged to me.
Despite Sharon’s kindness, she couldn’t make decisions on behalf of Lyle or force him to treat me well.
Meanwhile, I felt embarrassed to tell her about the past incidents.
“Grandma, there are many things that I can’t control myself. So, I have to apologize to you.” After
returning the agreements to Sharon, I added, “I can’t ept these. Since the shares belong to my
mom, she will return one day and retrieve them by herself.”
