From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 225

Kendrick wasn’t just blowing smoke when he talked about gifting shares.

As the words settled, Kendrick continued, “Miss Yeager, don’t go thinking you can’t handle the business. I’m still in fighting form, and as long as I draw breath, you won’t have to worry about company matters.”

Damian was not promising.

Rather than waiting till Kendrick kicked the bucket and his life’s work got carved up by his family, he’d rather hand over thirty percent of his shares to Anthea while he still could.

Sure, giving away thirty percent meant a loss, but holding onto the other seventy percent was a win, especially with Damian gripping the reins tightly.

Kendrick was confident in Anthea’s integrity, entirely convinced that she wouldn’t harbor any ill intentions. However, he was not quite as sure about those distant relatives.

A pack of wolves in sheep’s clothing, they were!

What mattered more, Kendrick believed Anthea could take the Wright Group to new heights.

But Anthea was hesitant to accept, so Kendrick shelved the idea for the moment and said, “Miss Yeager, I feel a real kinship with you. As it happens, I’ve got a granddaughter about your age. Why don’t I take you on as my god–granddaughter?”
