Chapter 549 Ace in His Hold

August smiled as if he had expected her to say so. He then asked Zane to move all the food to the table on the hospital bed.

Lucia stuffed a dumpling entirely into her mouth and closed her eyes in enjoyment. Suddenly, she found the man staring at her.

She felt embarrassed, and, turning to him, babbled with all the food in her mouth. "What are you looking at..." August couldn't help chuckling, and he said leisurely, "You're really the same as before."

Lucia had been like this in the past. In front of delicacies, she would turn into a glutton, who would gulp down all the dishes without caring about table manners. Her way of enjoying food could even stimulate other's appetite.

"We have completed routines with the shares. But there is one thing. Bishop Adams still holds some shares." August frowned. "Why?"

August nodded. He soon understood what had happened.

When Bishop had signed the share transfer, all his properties had been under August's name, which included both his original holding and those taken from August. However, Karl's shares were left out.

Karl's death from accident, his properties weren't inherited in time. Or, some people deliberately delayed the inheritance procedures.

Bishop signed, his then share was transferred. However, Karl's shares weren't yet belonged to him legally, which meant that, after he officially owned Karl's share, he was still a shareholder of Lion
