Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 254

After hanging up the phone, Henry pinched the space between his brows in frustration.

He was starting to feel a little listless as he lay on the couch.

Just then, a loud bang came from the door accompanied by Charles‘ furious roar. “Henry! Come out here, you coward! How could you just leave the entire company in my care, you prick?”

In the past, Charles was angry that he did not get to have a say in company matters because Henry was in charge of running it.

However, there was no pleasing Charles, for he was still angry even after Henry had delegated the power to him.

“Didn’t I already transfer Jo’s shares to you? And didn’t we agree that I’d transfer my shares to you at the current market price, too?” Henry countered evenly as he opened the door.

Charles grabbed Henry by the collar and hissed, “What are you playing here?”

It was precisely because everything was going so smoothly that Charles grew suspicious.

He had been fighting with Henry for so many years, and they could not stand the sight of each other. That being said, there were moments when they commiserated with one another, too.

“What, are you unhappy now that you’ve gotten what you wanted all along? Henry asked sarcastically, snorting.

“You gave me your shares, and I’ve already seen the contract that you had your lawyer draw up for the transfer You even gave Quinton a portion of the shares, too. So, what are you up to? Are you actually going to leave Gibson Corporation?” Charles was

your own?”

“Yes,” Henry answered nonchalantly with no intention of explaining further.

“Are you out of your mind?” Charles demanded. He wanted nothing more than to beat some sense into Henry at that moment.

“You’re just going to give up everything because Josie doesn’t want you anymore?”

Henry made no reply.
