Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

In recent years, Gilpin Enterprise had thrived, and Lindsay Gilpin's shares, which accounted for over ten percent of the company, brought her substantial dividends annually. This financial security allowed her to live a carefree life.

But now, Gilpin Enterprise was moving to strip her of all her shares. Panic surged through Lindsay.

"I know I made a mistake," she pleaded. "I'm sorry to everyone. Please give me a chance to make things right. I promise I'll work diligently at the company from now on. I beg you-don't take away my shares! I know I was wrong."

Her parents quickly chimed in, pleading on her behalf. Although their family held a significant portion of shares, the scattered shares among other relatives were not insignificant. Everyone present was family, and Gilpin Enterprise's success had been a collective effort.

"Everyone here is family," her father said earnestly. "Lindsay might have lost her way, but I hope you can forgive her this time for the sake of family."

"As her father, I take responsibility for her mistakes," he added. "I failed to guide her properly, which led to this. From now on, I'll make sure to keep a close eye on her."

But this wasn't a trivial matter. The relatives all knew Lindsay's temperament-spoiled and entitled, a typical pampered princess. Even if she did join the company, she would only cause trouble. As for her promises to change, no one believed her. People's natures were hard to change.

This time, the stakes were high. It wasn't just about Lindsay's mistake-it was about redistributing shares. Even gaining just one percent more could mean significantly higher dividends every year. No one would willingly let go of such an opportunity. The relatives whispered among themselves, their eyes gleaming with calculation. The potential loss from Lindsay's blunder was temporary, but the redistribution of shares would be permanent. The better Gilpin Enterprise performed in the future, the larger their dividends would be. In the face of such interests, familial bonds held little weight.

One woman spoke up, her voice sharp. "My husband has been working overtime for months to secure this deal. He led his entire team, working day and night, and just when success was within reach, this happened. Do you know how much money was lost because of this? My husband even lost weight from the stress!"

Another relative nodded in agreement. "Family is family, but business is business. None of us wanted this to happen. We've all been working hard for the company's growth, but look at her-she's ruined everything. At her age, how much more can you teach her? You still have your shares, so losing a little bit from her won't make a difference."
