The Bound Between Us

Chapter 548

After leaving the Mortons, Anastasia sent Mr. Rowland on his way.

Salma, puzzled, asked, "Ana, why did you hand the company over to them? With that share transfer agreement, they wouldn't dare hold out on you."

Anastasia replied, "Mom, what's more important to you the company or Dad?"

"What's the point of holding onto material possessions if you don't even have your health?" Anastasia said bluntly. "This is the quickest way to get Dad out of there. I've never managed the Morton Group. Imagine if I just showed up, waving that share agreement, declaring myself the new CEO. Would the other shareholders be happy? Ashley and Jia would fight tooth and nail. It'd be a bloodbath, and I can't handle that."
