Caroline’s guess was right. Balor was indeed plotting something.

Initially, when he received the first call and found out about the trouble Caroline had caused, he apologized in fear and trepidation and said that he would hand Caroline over to them for them to deal with.

However, when he saw the shares of several families falling non-stop, he immediately realized that the people who should be anxious at this time should be these families, not him. ｆ𝓇𝘦𝚎𝑤e𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵe𝗹. c𝒐𝘮

Thus, Balor was no longer in fear and trepidation. Instead, he thought that he should use this opportunity to ask for some benefits. After all, the Lambert family was the true victim!

“I didn’t expect this trash to be of some use.” Balor sat in the office with his legs crossed and happily swung around. What was the most amazing part of this? That trash had offended so many families, and she was probably hiding in fear.

This way, he could have an excuse to say that the Lambert family could protect her, and the condition was that Caroline had to give up her shares.

Thinking that he would benefit no matter what, Balor was no longer in the mood to work. He impatiently dodged the people who were blocking him and ran home. He put on a serious stance to welcome Caroline.

At this moment, Kelly had also learned from Austin that 40% of the Lambert Corporation’s shares were in Caroline’s hands. This triggered her greatly.

So, what had she been doing all these years? Wasn’t it for the remaining 20% of the shares in Balor’s hands?

As for why Austin knew about this, it all started with Caroline’s livestream. Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger on the internet, Taylor and the other families secretly spread the news that they would not let Caroline off.

Austin naturally took this opportunity to ask his parents to break off the engagement.

It was only then that his parents told him that Caroline held 40% of the Lambert family’s shares. If he married Caroline, he would be able to control the Lambert Corporation.

They couldn’t bear to part with this piece of meat that had already been put into the pot. So, even if they didn’t like Caroline, they wouldn’t easily give up the marriage contract with Caroline for the sake of this 40% of the shares.

Although Austin admired Kelly, he was also very envious of the 40% shares. He thought that it would be great if these shares were to fall into Kelly’s hands. That way, he would not have to force himself to be bound to Caroline, and he could be with Kelly openly.

When Kelly heard about it, she had the same thoughts. Hence, when she heard that Balor was going to trick Caroline into giving up her shares, she immediately ran home. After a round of ingratiating herself, she successfully coaxed Balor into agreeing to transfer 10% of the shares to her after he obtained them.

Although it was only 10%, and Kelly was not very satisfied, she knew that she had to take things one step at a time. The most important thing now was to get Caroline to give up all her shares.

Thus, when Caroline stepped into the house, Balor ordered the bodyguards to close the door of the villa. It was clear that if she did not sign this today, she would not be able to leave this door.

Balor looked at Caroline. There was no warmth in his eyes that a father should have when looking at his daughter. “You have been willful at home since young. It’s fine if you bully Kelly, but as a family member, you can’t just turn a blind eye to it. However, I didn’t expect that it would develop into your audacious character, to the point where you dared to provoke so many families on your own. The other side has already made it clear that they won’t let you off easily.”

“The rest of the shareholders are very dissatisfied with your actions. They think that you can’t afford to take this responsibility and will only drag the company down. I won’t let you destroy the Lambert family, so you can’t have 40% of the shares.” Balor smacked the share transfer agreement on the table.

“So, you have to give up your shares and stay at home obediently. Don’t go out and cause trouble again.”

Seeing that Caroline was unmoved, Balor continued to coerce her. “If you’re not willing to sign it, in order to protect the company and the Lambert family, I’ll have no choice but to put righteousness before family and hand you over.”

“Sister, Dad doesn’t just want your shares.” Kelly pretended to be an understanding sister and advised her, “The trouble you’ve caused this time is too big. The other shareholders of the company are very unhappy. Originally, because Dad’s shares were not high, they were not very convinced by Dad. This time, Dad wants to protect you, and all of them are against it. Only when Dad gets higher shares can he have more power and come forward to support you.”
