Chapter 154 Fighting for Money

Preston was about to lose it when Cleo mentioned he was just a minor shareholder.

"You're full of it! It's not ten percent, it's twenty! I have the same amount of shares as Allison. If all the shareholders back me, Allison's out!" Preston shouted. Cleo didn't even flinch. She just pulled out some documents for everyone to see.

"Here are the shares held by Ms. Bennett. Right now, Bennett Group's stock is in the dumps. Under Ms. Bennett's direction, I've been buying up shares on the open market. As of today, we've snagged eighteen percent, bringing Ms. Bennett's total to thirty-eight percent, making her the biggest shareholder!" Cleo explained.

Preston was in shock. He grabbed the share transfer documents and looked them over one by one, then he saw a familiar signature.

"Helena? What's going on? How did you get Helena's shares? Did you threaten her into selling?" Preston roared.

Cleo didn't even blink. "Actually, Ms. Ember came to me willingly, offering to sell her shares in the Bennett Group. And she didn't just sell a small portion-she sold ten percent, which is worth two billion dollars. I found it odd at the time since none of the shareholders here hold that much individually. But if she's your mistress, Mr. Bennett, well, that explains a lot!"

Cleo's words made the shareholders' faces change.

Preston glared at her, fuming. "You're lying! Helena wouldn't do that!"

Cleo smirked, placing the transfer documents in front of him. "Mr. Bennett, look closely. That's Helena's signature. And the ten percent was under Cade's name. Helena, as Cade's guardian, sold it on his behalf. Now you only have ten percent. How dare you call a shareholders' meeting and think you can oust Ms. Bennett?"

Cleo had no respect for the Bennetts. She thought they were all incompetent yet overly confident. She felt Allison deserved better; Preston was unworthy of being her father.
