Chapter 57- David Kingsley

It took a week for the Wentworth group’s stock price to hike up. Luckily, Aaron bought about 30% of the shares and gave them to Tessa and the children. Tessa got 15% while the triplets had 5% shares each.

It was over the weekend when Aaron visited them and gave Tessa the documents. He said, Keep these safe. You are now a major shareholder in the Wentworth group so you need to attend the meeting on Monday. The ones who sold the shares found out I bought them and now they are asking me to sell them back to them at double the price. But I don’t need such. unloyal people. This was a good opportunity to weed out the bad seeds in the company.”

Tessa’s hand felt heavy as she held the legal documents that Aaron gave her. She found herself shaking her head, saying, “Aaron… this is”

“Sshhh. Don’t reject it, please. There’s no reason for me to have so many shares in the company when I have a woman and children to share them with,” Aaron proclaimed.

“I feel bad that I haven’t given you anything so far…” Tessa said, biting her lower lip.

Aaron smiled and claimed, “Your love is all I need. But… if you want to get me something. Buy me boxers. The ones I own have overstayed their welcome.”

Tessa’s face flushed and she averted Aaron’s gaze. She replied, “I’ll get you some when I go shopping for the kids.”

“Don’t you need the shareholders who left though? Maybe you should sell the shares back to them,” Tessa suggested after a brief silence.

“Trust me… all I need are the ones who stuck with us when the company was in trouble. You only know who your true friends are when things go down south for you. Tell me, has that stalker contacted you lately?”

Tessa shook her head and responded, “No, they haven’t. But I often feel a chill on my back as if someone is following me. However, when I look back, I don’t see anyone.”

“I think the stalker and the one who hacked into our system are the same person. I’m planning to set a trap for him. We shall catch him and make him pay, I promise,” Aaron declared.

“I hope so. I’m also tired of having bodyguards following me around. But I understand it’s for my safety,” Tessa then glanced at Aaron and said, “I passed through the mall and found that it

was almost ready. They built it really fast.”

Aaron nodded and responded, “Of course. We have the money and the manpower. I can’t wait to see what you do with it. You have the potential to become the most wealthy and powerful woman in the City.”

“I think I’m already wealthy with all these gifts you’ve been showering me with… but I intend to grow my own company and measure my wealth from there first,” Tessa remarked and Aaron nodded, pecking her lips.

He then went ahead to the living room to play with the kids who squealed happily when they saw him.
