“That’s not what Alick promised me! He said he would give me half of his shares and let me keep his baby!”
Adolf’s face immediately darkened. He turned around and slapped his son across the face.
He used so much force that Alick felt lightheaded. He touched his throbbing cheek and didn’t dare to utter a word.
Adolf looked at Eliana again, his expression cold and menacing.
“20 million dollars, no more. Get an abortion. This will be the last that our family speaks of this matter!”
At this point, however, even Eliana’s parents weren’t satisfied with the offer. They would certainly gain more in the future if they took possession of Alick’s shares. They couldn’t pass up on this rare opportunity.
“No way! You can’t let your son renege on his word!” Arion barked with much bravado.
“If you expect us to clean up after your family’s scandals, then the least you can do is be generous with your payment!
20 million is far too little!”
“Eliana is pregnant with your grandchild!” Layla joined in, reaching out to touch Eliana’s belly.
“You can’t just forsake your own flesh and blood!”
Lydia stood aside and watched the drama unfold with a sneer on her face.
Henry urged Adolf.
“Just give them the shares. As long as none of this gets out to the public, the engagement can carry on in peace.
No one in Valmere would dare to speak of this day.”

The bastard was still thinking of forcing his sister into marrying Alick.
In truth, the Shaw Group was on the verge of collapse. Even if they were to hand over some shares to Eliana, it wouldn’t be too much of a loss, as long as their union with the Phillips family was successfully established.
“Fine!” Adolf said through gritted teeth.
“Half of the shares, then.
As soon as you take the money, you must abort that child in your belly!”
Eliana almost rolled her eyes at that, but somehow managed to appear agreeable.
“Okay, it’s a deal! I want you to process the transfer right now!”
Adolf sent Alick out and ordered him to take care of the documents to settle the agreement with the Patel family.
When all the outsiders were finally gone, Adolf turned to Lydia and said, “My son is still young, these mistakes are quite common. But he won’t repeat them again, and it must not affect the marriage between our families. You are a good girl, Lydia. You understand the importance of such unions, don’t you? You wouldn’t want your family to lose face, right?”
