Chapter 82
The next morning. Benjamin received a notice of the shareholders’ meeting.
He was very surprised. As the shareholder of Yates Group and the company’s Chairman, how could he not know about the shareholders’ meeting?
He had a vague bad feeling!
After being kicked out by Lucas yesterday, he felt something was amiss.
However, he couldn’t pinpoint what was amiss.
No, he had to hurry to the company.
Leonardo also received the message, but since he couldn't speak now, all he could do
was type.
Hence, the speed for him to convey his message was much slower than others.
When Benjamin and Leonardo arrived at Yates Group office, they found Cassandra sitting in the seat of the Chairman. “Cassandra, get up quickly. This is not your seat. Do you think you are qualified to sit there?”
Benjamin came over and immediately unleashed a barrage of scoldings.
This was his position. No one should covet it.
“Mr. Benjamin Yates, you're here. Let’s begin our meeting today.” Cassandra had no intention of backing off at all.
“Why are you the one announcing the meeting’s commencement? | should preside over the shareholders’ meeting. It’s not your place.”
Benjamin felt more and more uncasy.
He felt that today’s meeting was a trap.
Cassandra ignored him and asked the bodyguards behind to pull Benjamin away.
“| hold 45% of the shares in Yates Group. As the majority shareholder, | hereby remove Benjamin as the Chairman and Leonardo as the general manager. Any objections to this decision?”

Everyone was in an uproar!
‘She owns 45% of the company’s shares? That’s nearly half of the company’s ownership. And they’re all held by a young girl?” Everyone pondered in disbelief.
They found the news hard to believe, yet a few shareholders remained silent.
Observing the skepticism among everyone. Benjamin smiled smugly and remarked, “Cassandra, stop bluffing already. Even if you have the money to buy the shares, you won't be able to acquire this much.”
Benjamin was well aware of the number of shares each shareholder possessed. Even if Cassandra were genuinely wealthy, she wouldn't be able to acquire such a substantial amount of shares.
However, in the next moment, half of the present shareholders stood up and nodded at Cassandra. The leader declared, “We've sold all our shares to Ms. Cassandra Yates. From now on, Yates Group has nothing to do with us!”
After stating this, these individuals intended to leave. Initially, they had come here today merely as a formality.
Their sole purpose was to announce the transfer of the shares. That was it!
“Please sit down. | have something to say later.”
They still had to heed Cassandra’s words. After all, one tended to lick the hand of anybody who could throw them a few crumbs. In the end, those with the capital had the most say in the society.
Benjamin was in disbelief. He wondered how things had turned out this way.
“It's impossible. Even if you acquire the shares of these people, there are only 35% at most. How can there be 45%? You must be lying!”
Indeed, Cassandra could only acquire 35% of the shares at most. How could she surpass him and become the largest shareholder?
Benjamin owned 42% of the company shares.
No one could threaten his position..
“Indeed, they only account for 35% of the total shares. As for the extra 10%, maybe your should inquire with your eldest son. You don’t believe you still own 42% of the company shares, do you? No, you only have 32% now!”

Truth be told, Cassandra also found the turn of events quite peculiar.
BY)
The day before the banquet, Yohannes and Raymond went to Springmount Townhouse looking for her.
Cassandra was still thinking about how to acquire the 5% shares in Raymond’s hand. when he unexpectedly came to her himself.
It seemed like she was going to achieve her goal without the slightest effort.
“What brings you here today?”
Cassandra seldom spoke in a pleasant tone, leaving Raymond perplexed.
He wondered if this was the real Cassandra.
She was confident, ostentatious, and unpretentious.
She was starkly different from the cowardly, sinister, and vicious girl she used to be.
“I'm here to ask for your help to find Dr. Quirke to treat my hand, but | don’t have that much money.”
Raymond's attitude was much better this time.
He used to be arrogant because he had the support of his parents!
But now, he had left the Yates family. He had seen through and realized his parents’ partiality. He was about the same age as Yulissa, yet his parents bestowed all their love upon her.
They were unwilling even to attend to his hand, causing him to repeatedly miss the opportunity for proper treatment
Now, he could only rely on his own!
“Cassie, you haven't had breakfast yet. | bought a bacon grilled cheese sandwich for you. | asked the chef to prepare it specially. Now is a good time to enjoy it,” Yohannes said attentively.
From now on, Yohannes swore he would give all his love to this sister in front of him!
“It's okay. Yohannes, you'd better take it back.” Cassandra turned her eyes away and looked at Raymond. “What price are you offering? Do you think you can easily hire Dr. Quirke as youThis text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Raymond looked gloomy. Of course, he knew that it was difficult to hire Faye for treatment. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left with only one option.
He had to ask for help from Cassandra. Even if she satirized him, he could only bear it.
He didn’t want to be handicapped.
“lL only have 200 million dollars in cash, not much more.” Raymond was a little embarrassed.
The price he offered was really too low. Faye treated the Zelinski family and charged 2 billion dollars for his consultation fee. His price was only one-tenth of that!
Well, he’s got to try.
“Your price is... too low.”
That meant that Faye wouldn't agree to take his case.
Yohannes also felt sorry for his brother. He knew the whole story and said, “I only have 160 million dollars of cash available here. Take it first.”
Raymond looked at Yohannes gratefully. Unexpectedly, the first brother to help him. was Yohannes whom he seldom met.
“360 million dollars is still too little. There is no need to go for the treatment. Who do
you
think you are hiring?” Cassandra obviously didn’t intend to care about their feelings.
What she ultimately wanted were the shares of Yates Group held by Raymond and Yohannes.
However, she hadn't reached that stage yet. It would be better for Raymond and Yohannes to take the initiative to offer the shares to her, rather than being compelled to do so.
“However, | really don’t have that much money. | certainly don’t have 4 billion dollars.” Raymond gritted his teeth with hatred the moment he mentioned that.
The Yates family had the money. However, Benjamin and Miranda were unwilling to pay for his treatment cost.
As a result, he was now ha ndica pped and couldn't use his hand..
“Faye has never made a house call with this amount of money. You can go and ask.

around, Cassandra said arrogantly.
“Then what should we do?”
He really didn’t have that much money. That was all he had!
“Consider exchanging your assets, like the house and shares. You must have Yates Group’s shares. The house cannot be cashed out, but the shares can be!” Cassandra probed.
Raymond was stunned. He did have shares, but they belonged to Yates Group.
He couldn't give them to anyone!
“Mr. Raymond and Yohannes Yates, let’s consider this. Is it more crucial to retain shares. with a declining market value, or to utilize them to contend for your future?”
Yohannes was lost in thought.
Indeed. These things were all worthless. Besides, their parents gave them the shares, which meant they belonged to them. They had the final say on how to deal with it.
Yohannes turned to Raymond and said, “Raymond, there’s no hope for my future. you still have something left. Let’s take a chance.”
But
“| have 5% of the shares, and Yohan has another 5%. There are 10% shares in total. Is that okay?”
“Adding your cash, it’ll be enough. Go through the formalities, and we can start the treatment as soon as possible.”
