“Our deal with the White family isn’t going anywhere fast. I don’t need to leave immediately.”
Sensing Bryson’s sincere concern, Hannah offered a reassuring smile.
“Relax, there’s no storm I can’t handle. No need to worry over it.”
The following morning, word got out that Hannah now owned a 25% stake in the company, causing her phone to buzz incessantly from dawn.
Answering a call, she heard Jalen’s voice on the other end.
“Hannah, when are you planning to visit the office? We need to talk about the company’s future development.”
Jalen’s tone was composed, a clear indication that he had been aware of this development for a while. Hannah responded just as calmly, “I’ll be there shortly. I need to get acquainted with White Group’s operations and organizational framework first.”
A brief pause filled the line before Jalen resumed, “About Edwin…
He approached me to discuss your recent actions.”
“Do you intend to hold that against me?” Hannah’s voice didn’t waver.
“Not in the slightest,” Jalen assured her.
“I understand you’re just following Grandma’s wishes. Furthermore, Edwin really is a slacker, squandering his life on food, drink, and leisure, all funded by Grandma. Your actions were justified. I didn’t give him any money either.”
To Hannah’s surprise, Jalen was actually taking her side. She allowed a small smile to touch her lips.

“If he couldn’t get any money from you, he’ll probably try elsewhere.
“No need to worry about that. I’ll speak to the rest of the White family. He won’t get a cent.”
“Thank you.”
Jalen seemed momentarily at a loss for words, holding the phone.
“It’s just what should be done… after all, Grandma chose you.”
After ending the call, Christy asked Jalen, “What did she say?”
“She’ll be coming to the office later,” Jalen responded.
Christy’s brow furrowed as she recalled something Johanna had mentioned.
“Now that she owns more shares than you, who knows what she’ll do once she’s in the office!”
Jalen shook his head.
“She’s not the type you’re making her out to be. If she had wanted the shares, she could’ve returned when Grandpa was still conscious. She’s not as scheming as you imagine. Besides, it’s only fair that she reclaims those shares.”
