章 11: CHAPTER 11

Chase raised his eyebrows slightly, with a casual look on his face.

But deep down, his heart was filled with such a rage that he wanted to kill everyone right now.

Chris tugged his suit and said impatiently. "Hazel, if you sign it, I will let you be the chairwoman! However, I must warn you that I don't think you can fulfill that promise. By then, you'll lose everything and bring more shame to the whole Haynes family. Then that time comes, I will cut off from you as well. Of course, if you give up the shares right now, you are still my beloved daughter, and as your father, I will definitely treat you well!"

Everyone knew what Chris was implying

He was threatening Hazel. If Hazel was determined to replace him, then the father–daughter relationship had come to an end.

Hazel felt a chill rising within for no reason.

First, it was the obstruction from her ex–husband, and now, her own father started morally blackmailing her as well.

This was definitely a tough moment!

"Fine, I'll sign it. However, I have a request! I need all shareholders to be absolutely cooperative with my work."

Mr. Paul and Mr. Roger nodded enthusiastically. "Of course. You're the biggest shareholder anyway. Of course, we'll listen to you."

Chase sneered. "Well, it seems that at least you've got balls. Alright, I'm going now that the meeting is over. Tomorrow, I'll have my lawyer send over the bet on agreement."

Then Chase stood up and walked out of the room, leaving everyone else behind as if he was the boss here.

In his mind, he had sentenced Hazel to be punished!

"Since you bite off more than you can chew, I'll make you choke!" Chase thought.

Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul also stood up and shook hands with Hazel. "We believe in you, Ms. Haynes. We expect you to lead the Haynes Group to another level!"

Hazel smiled. "I hope we all find working together enjoyable!"

Ignoring Hazel's words, Chris just snorted and walked out of the conference room in anger.

Downstairs in the lobby.

Amara and her two sons noticed Chris come out with a sullen face, and they hurried over.

"Honey, how's it going?" asked Amara.

Chris heaved a long sigh, "Forget about it. Let's go home first."

Amara caught up with him hastily, worried as hell. She asked, "So how did the meeting go? Hazel still won't give up her shares?"

"This wretched girl not only refuses to give up her shares, but she wants to kick all of us out. I've already been fired by her!" Chris sputtered, taking his inhaler from his pocket and spraying it down his throat.

Hazel might be his daughter, but deep down, this man never took her as his family.

"What a bad woman!" said Derick through his gritted teeth. "Dad, you're not really going to let Hazel replace you, are you?"

"So what if I don't agree? She took it from me anyway! She's just determined to be the chairwoman!"

Ben was also indignant and said, "Who the hell does she think she is? Oh, we can't just watch her taking everything away while doing nothing! The Haynes Group belongs to us. Why should she take it?"

"Yeah, we'll sue her for stealing our things if we have no other ways!"

Chris sighed again, "She has your grandfather's will. So there's no point in going to court! Who would have thought that she would have hired all four top lawyers in the city? With them watching over the will, we will lose for sure. You just need to know that she's now the chairwoman, and that's final.

But then again, although they had lost control of the Haynes Group, the Haynes family would not go down because of this.

That was because, except for the Haynes Group, they still got dozens of other properties and estates. And in a bustling city, that meant tons of gold.

They also owned a whole office building. Let alone their deposits in their private accounts.

Even if they decided to slack off for the rest of their lives, that was far from enough for all of them to live comfortable lives.

However, who would say no to more money? Money? The more of the green bills, the better.

Amara was now furious. She even started panting angrily like a cartoon character due to her rage. "Hazel's gone too far! No, I won't endure this while doing nothing! The Haynes Group is ours, and I will never allow an outsider to take it away…

As she was saying, Hazel, Mr. Roger, Mr. Paul, and the others came out of the elevator.

Amara saw Hazel, and she rushed up to her at once. "Hazel, how could you be so vicious? You kicked your own father out of the company! How can you be so ungrateful to your family?"

Amara was shouting fiercely as she tried to seize Hazel.

Hazel's security caught her immediately and warned her, "Ma'am. Please, you're making a scene!"

"I own this company! I'll make scenes whenever I like. So shut your mouth! Now, speak to me, Hazel Haynes! You shameless thing! You seduced Lyra's fiance years ago. And now you came back to steal the company from us. You're so shameless! And you deserve to be thrown out by the Blacks!"

Hazel's face darkened, and she said, "Calm yourself before I'm forced to hurt you, Amara."

"Oh, how dare you threaten me? Do you think I'm gonna sit here and watch you take everything away from me? No way!"

Amara was like a maniac, screaming and yelling in the lobby.

At last, Hazel decided to better not waste her time on such a woman, and she ordered her bodyguards to escort her out.

Outside the Haynes tower, there had already gathered numerous reporters.

"Hazel! Please say something!"

"Are you taking over as chairwoman of the Haynes Group today?"

"No interviews today, thank you."

Security stopped the reporters so that Hazel could get in the car.

Then Amara and the others followed Hazel out as well.

The reporters surrounded them at once.

"Mrs. Haynes, can you tell us what has happened?"

Amara took a deep breath and tried to keep her fair–lady image in front of the public. She said, "What happened is that we, the Haynes, have raised an ungrateful girl who has turned her back on all of us today! She has no mercy even for her own father!"
