Chapter 344: Admitting
On the other side of the phone, James and Stanley heard her voice and then Stanley continued, "Yvonne, I have heard that you are going to marry me. Is that true?"
Jeanette looked at Grace in confusion.
Grace nodded affirmatively at her.
Jeanette said, "Yes."
Both James and Stanley were stunned.
This was especially true for James.
He couldn’t believe that Yvonne admitted to it herself.
Stanley was also so shocked that he could not speak.
It was all too sudden, after all.
Previously, when James talked to him, he thought that James was joking with him.
He hadn’t expected to hear Yvonne admit it.
"So it’s true?"
While Stanley was talking excitedly, he did not notice that James’s expression had become as cold as ice.
He was stunned for a long time and then he realized what was going on. He snatched the phone from Stanley’s hand and said, "Yvonne, tell me the truth. Is there anything wrong with you? Did they force you?"
When Jeanette heard this, she looked once more at her aunt and said in a low voice, "Aunt, how should we answer this?"
Grace frowned, and then she whispered a few words into Jeanette’s ears.
Jeanette nodded with understanding and then said into the phone, "No one forced me. I did it voluntarily."
James was stunned. He seemed to have lost all sensation in his hand which was holding the phone.
Jeanette looked at Grace for help when she saw that the other side had fallen into silence for a long time.
However, Grace reached out and hung up the phone directly.
Jeanette returned the phone to Grace and asked curiously, "Aunt, why did you ask me to answer the phone with Yvonne’s voice?"
Hearing that, Grace said, "Because I know that you have learned voice imitation before. I want to see how you’re doing."
Oh, I see. What do you think, aunt?
Grace praised, "Very good. You can be a professional dubber now."
Jeanette was extremely happy when she heard this.
Grace took some paper money from her wallet and handed them over. "This is a reward from aunt."
"Thank you, Aunt."
Jeanette happily received it.
Grace said, "Remember to keep this a secret. Don’t tell anyone. You probably don’t want your mother to know that you’re playing dubbing again."
Jeanette nodded repeatedly.
After Jeanette left, Grace laughed coldly, "James, let’s say how you can keep your cool."
Ever since James heard Yvonne’s reply with his own ears, he felt as if his soul had been sucked out of his body.
He only felt that his mind was in a mess at this time.
Stanley, however, had already begun to think about his future life. After all, with the White family’s support, not only could he make rapid advances in his career after marrying her, but he would also no longer have to get along with Mrs. Lynne in the future.
Thinking of this, Stanley became excited.
However, his reaction was particularly dazzling in James’s eyes.
Just as Stanley was dreaming of entering a wealthy family, James grabbed his collar again.
"You’re not allowed to marry her," James warned.
At this time, Stanley became arrogant. Anyway, he would soon be the son -in- law of the White family. It could be said that he was on the same level as James. He was not afraid of James any more.
Thinking of this, he plucked up the courage to pull his hand away and said, "Mr. Taylor, you’re being unreasonable. It’s Yvonne who decides to marry me."
...
Hearing this, James became angrier. He gritted his teeth and said, "But I won’t allow it."
His tone was very domineering and unquestionable.
Stanley found it ridiculous. He shook his collar and said, "Mr. Taylor, that’s nonsense. Previously, we both like Yvonne, and we had a fair competition. Now that Yvonne has chosen me, you’re being unreasonable. You can’t bully me like this just because you’re richer than me."
Stanley’s attitude was asking for a beating. James narrowed his eyes dangerously, took a step forward, and grabbed him by the neck and pressed him against the wall.
"You’re right. So what if I bully you?"
James tightened his grip on Stanley’s neck. Stanley was frightened and felt a terrible suffocation on his neck. He did not dare to make a sound in an instant.
"I’m warning you again. If you dare to marry her, don’t blame me for being rude."
After that, he moved his hand away ruthlessly, turned around, and walked towards the door.
Stanley was left standing there, and it took him a long time to come to his senses.
He felt that he had narrowly escaped death.
James directly called Grace.
He directly said, "I want to see Yvonne."
Grace had been waiting for this call for a long time. At this time, she was full of the sense of accomplishment. She sneered, "Mr. Taylor, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but Yvonne said that she will see no one before the wedding."
"Wedding?"
James narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Didn’t you say that you wanted to marry her into the Taylors? Are you going to let her marry a poor man just like that?"
Grace smiled, "So what if I’m unwilling? She’s my niece after all. If she doesn’t agree, I can’t just tie her up and send her to you, right? Besides, you have rejected my suggestion."
James knew that she was scheming against him, "She resents me for not accepting her suggestion the last time," thought James.
He snorted coldly, "I didn’t say that I don’t want her. It’s just that your method is wrong. How about this? I’m willing to invest 8 million dollars in White Enterprise as a betrothal gift. What do you think?"
This was within Grace’s expectation so she smiled and questioned, "Mr. Taylor, 8 million? Do you thing we are beggars? Besides, is Yvonne only worth 8 million in your heart?"
James frowned.
He said, "I don’t need you to remind me how much Yvonne is worth in my heart. 8 million is just the value of your company in my eyes. Benefit comes first for businessmen. If you think it’s too little, you can try to find others. I want to see who will take out more than 8 million at this time."
What James said was the truth. Currently, White Enterprise was worthless. What it left was only fame.
Of course, Grace knew more than he did, but it was still less than her expectations.
Grace paused for a moment and said, "8 million isn’t impossible, but I have a condition."
"What is it?" James asked.
Grace said, "Send the money to my credit card."
James snorted, "Are you going to use your personal account?"
Grace explained without hiding anything, "I have other uses for this money."
Since the money was for the White Enterprise, and Grace was the real controller of White Enterprise, so giving it to the company was almost the same as giving it to her.
James did not make any comment.
"Deal."
...
Yvonne slept soundly for the entire day. When she woke up, the room was dark.
She slowly sat up, and walked to the window to open the heavy curtain. Only then did she see the newborn sun outside the window.
It turned out to be the second day.
A hungry cry came from her stomach.
Yvonne covered her stomach, feeling a little embarrassed, even though there was no one else in the room except for herself.
She glanced around.
Thinking of this, she took a little walk in the room. After all, when there was no food, the more she walked, the hungrier she felt.
Finally, she found some candies in the drawer.
These candies were bought by her for the anniversary of her mother’s death every year. She didn’t expect them to be filled with drawers.
However, some of them could no longer be eaten. After all, they had been put there for too long. She took out a piece of candy that she had put down in recent years, and ate it.
The sweet taste instantly cheered her up.
However, the mood of eating candy has changed.
When I was a child, mom liked to buy this candy for me.
Every time I was unhappy, she would coax me to eat two.
At that time, the taste of candy was always very magical and could always improve my mood in a second.
However, since mom passed away, no one has bought it for me anymore.>
On her mother’s death anniversary every year, she would buy one and put it in this drawer.
When Yvonne thought of this, she could not help but smile bitterly.
Putting the candy back, she walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside.
She sighed in sorrow. When she was about to go back to the bed, the door was opened and Grace came in.
Yvonne was not angry at all when she saw Grace.
She just ignored her and walked toward the bed.
Yvonne did not mind following behind her. "You can be free tomorrow," suddenly said she.
Yvonne was stunned. She looked over but did not say anything. She just waited for her to continue.
As expected, Grace continued, "But you need to sign an agreement."
Yvonne asked, "What agreement?"
"The equity transfer agreement. Give me your shares."
Then Grace placed an agreement in front of her.
She glanced at the contract and snorted, "So that’s your plan. If you had told me earlier, I might have just given it to you."
"It’s the same now."
"It’s different. It’s too late. I won’t give it to you."
Grace sneered, "Yvonne, do you think that you’ll get the dividends if you don’t give them to me?"
However, Yvonne laughed sarcastically.
"I don’t care about the dividends, but this is my mother’s shares. I won’t give them to anyone."
"Your mother? Someone like her is worthy of possessing the shareholding?" Grace let out an extremely disdainful laugh. Yvonne gritted her teeth and looked over.
Grace didn’t care at all. She continued, "I’m afraid you don’t know that my brother gave her shares for charity."
