Chapter 433

That afternoon, Charlene and Gaylord were in the office discussing work when a knock sounded at the door. "Ms. Ross, Mr. Padgett has arrived."

"Thank you, I'll see him now." Charlene turned to Gaylord. "I have some personal matters to take care of. Why don't you get back to your work for now?"

Gaylord glanced at Padgett and his assistant, nodded politely, and stepped out.

Padgett and his assistant each carried a briefcase. Once Chester closed the door behind them, they began laying out stacks of documents-contracts, deeds, legal papers and carefully checked every item.

When the inventory was finished and everything exchanged, Padgett said, "By the way, Thorne's attorney asked me to pass on a message. Thorne said that if you find all of this too much trouble, if you don't want to get involved with managing or making decisions for the company, and you'd rather sell off your shares, he'd be happy to buy them from you."

Charlene's expression didn't change. "I understand. Thank you."

With nothing more to discuss, Padgett and his assistant soon left.

Charlene looked at the piles of paperwork and legal documents, then set the briefcases aside and went straight back to work.
