The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire)
Chapter 49

Chapter 49 When Are You Returning the Shares?

Robert's face was red with anger. Not only was Claire sitting beside him, but she had also seized control of the room. From the moment she stepped into the room, Robert was completely ignored.

He slammed a hand down on the conference table. "Claire, I am your father and the chairman of this company..."

"Dad," Claire casually interrupted. "My lawyer has approached you already, so when are you returning the shares to me?"

With how many shareholders were watching, Robert could not find a way to escape. Moreover, Claire hac a lot of blackmail on him. If any of that evidence were shown, he would be stripped of his role as chairman and put on trial. He might even end up in jail.

Backed into a corner, he had no choice but to concede. "Since your mother has stated in the will the shares are yours, I will naturally return them to you."

"Good." Claire smiled and beckoned Matt closer. Matt then placed a share transfer agreement on the

table in front of Robert.

Robert was so angry that he could die. He had not expected Claire to come completely prepared. It seemed like the shareholder meeting she suggested was just a trap she had set. Her goal was to force him to transfer the shares over to her while the other shareholders watched.

He gritted his teeth and took out a pen to reluctantly sign the agreement.

Once Robert's full name was written on the document, Claire picked up the document and handed it

Matt. "Thanks, Dad."

With the share transfer agreement in hand, Matt blandly stated, "Now that Miss Claire Donovan own 26% of all company shares, she is now Alpha Ventures' largest shareholder. She has the right to demand Mr. Robert Donovan to resign so that she may be chairman of the company."

However, Robert had not spent decades working in the corporate world for nothing.

He already had a trump card hidden up his sleeves.

Wait

Projesi Are, Yes, forming the Shares

The shareholders watched him like they were watching a shower. They were all waiting to see a fight

break out between Claire and him.

Claire gently tapped a finger against the table. With the calm look on her face, she looked like she

had everything under control.

"Well, Dad? What are your conditions?"

Robert found the way Claire called him "Dad" extremely annoying.

He coldly snorted before saying with all the confidence that befit a company chairman, "You're still young, Claire. Everyone worries if you take over Alpha Ventures just like that. As the second largest shareholder of the company, I have the right to test you, to see if you have the capability to be

chairman."

Claire raised an eyebrow and nonchalantly responded, "That makes sense."

Robert had not expected Claire to fall for his trap that easily.

Ha!

Well, what happened next would not be his fault.

"We have been fighting to get Solstice Industries to work with us for a project in Belshire. If you can secure that project, I will resign as chairman without question and fully support you to be

chairman."

Solstice Industries?

The shareholders' eyes went wide with disbelief as they stared at Robert.

Four years ago, Alpha Ventures had made an enemy out of Solstice Industries. While no one knew wh happened, Mr. Anderson of Solstice Industries would always look furious whenever Alpha Ventures o the Donovans were mentioned in conversation.

No one from Alpha Ventures could step foot in the Solstice Industries office, let alone arrange a meeting with Mr. Anderson. This was clearly a bid to humiliate Claire!

Was Robert even her father? What an incredible trap he had set her up for.

Duster 47 When Are You Repning the Shares?

Upon hearing the name Solstice Industries, Claire's face turned pale. Four years ago, the man Alice and Robert sold her to was Mr. Anderson of Solstice Industries. The look on her face made Robert grin in satisfaction. "Well? Scared?"

Claire remained silent as she tightly pursed her

lips.

Just then, Amos seized his chance to chime in with a chuckle. "Claire, I have nothing against you, but I think your father is right. You're still young. You need to prove that you are capable of taking charge of Alpha Ventures."

Charles immediately agreed. "That's right. We might not own a lot of the company's shares, but we still rely on the dividends from Alpha Ventures to support our lives. We can't let you take charge without knowing what you are capable of. What if you end up bankrupting the company? How are we going

to survive?"

Robert silently cursed Amos out for being a sly fox. If Robert did not have a trump card up his

sleeves, these old men would gang up on him with Claire.

However, there was a benefit to having shareholders who were easily swayed. After all, they were now on his side.

"Claire, if you can't do that, then you will take your shares and just wait for your dividends. The chairman is not a role you should covet."

"Hehe.."

Suddenly, Claire, who was lost in her thoughts, began to laugh. She glanced at the shareholders in the room and asked with a smile, "Are you all going to support me once I secure the project?"

Her words made it clear that she was talking over Robert. Amos immediately nodded. "That's right! I always keep my word. As long as you can secure the project, I'll support you."

"Me too!"

"Naturally, I will support you if you are capable."

The shareholders all nodded in agreement.

Robert realized something was off about the situation. Claire had not secured a contract yet, so why

Chapter 49 When An: You Returning the Shares?

"Naturally, I will support you if you are capable."

The shareholders all nodded in agreement.

Robert realized something was off about the situation. Claire had not secured a contract yet, so why were these old farts siding with her?

"Wait," he called out, interrupting the conversation. He then said with hostility clear in his voice, We need a time limit, don't we? We can afford to wait a month or two, but we can't wait forever. What if you take a year or more?"

"There's no need."

Claire lowered her head and adjusted her cuffs before elegantly getting to her feet. Then, she raised three fingers up in the air. "I swear that in three days I will secure a contract from Solstice Industries. If I do not get it within three days, I will never step foot in Alpha Ventures again."

With one final smile directed at everyone, she led her group of five men out of the conference room.

Amos blinked and took a sip of his herbal tea to calm his nerves. Then, he heaved a sigh. "That girl seems different."

Charles nodded. "Yes. She has the same gut and spirit as her mother."

Robert kicked away the chair Claire had occupied and furiously glared at the men. "What do you mear by that, Amos, Charles?"

"Nothing much," Amos replied with a chuckle as he put down his glass. "Mr. Donovan, I was helping you just now. Everyone present knows that Solstice Industries holds a grudge against us. Claire only agreed to the challenge because she did not know that."

As for playing both sides and all that nonsense, well, he was the best at that game.

Hence Clare approaching Mr. Anderson was akin to walking into the lion's den.

With how vicious Mr. Anderson was, Claire would suffer a fate worse than death.

Ha!

There was no way Robert would believe Claire to be capable of securing a contract with Solstice

Industries.

As soon as Claire left Alpha Ventures, she headed straight to the film set.

Matt frowned. No longer looking like the stern, top-notch lawyer he was, he tugged at her sleeves like a timid housewife. "Boss, the men are roasting the pig as we speak. Aren't you going to watch it roast with us?*

Claire glanced down at the fingers clenched around her shirtsleeve and gently patted Matt's shoulder with her other hand. 'I don't worry about that with you around. I just need to appear at the end. Once the pig is done roasting, let's enjoy the meat together

"Ah, the pig is so big that it will last us for years."

Matt wickedly laughed before accepting a bag covered in images of cartoon characters from one of the men in the back. As he shoved the bag into Claire's hands, he said, "It's filled with your favorite snacks. See you at Solstice Industries the day after tomorrow, Boss"
