Chapter 132: Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Asking Kent Barton For The Shares Julian Parks and Annalise Barton arrived at Horington, and Annalise took Julian to her duplex apartment. The apartment was more than a hundred square meters with two floors. It could be considered a mansion. Most importantly, the apartment was very clean and tidy. The first floor was the living room, dining room, study, and bedroom. There was a storage room in a pharmacy on the second floor. The equivalent of Annalise’s daily life was basically conducted on the first floor.

The second floor was used to store things. Although the second floor was only used to store things, it was kept very tidy. Even the things that were not often used were arranged very neatly. “This is your house?” Julian liked this house. “Yep,” Annalise replied.

After learning that this was Annalise’s house, Julian suddenly felt at home in this place. He reached out and pulled. Annalise lost her balance and ended up on his lap due to reflex action. Realizing that something was not quite right with his expression, she panicked. “I haven’t showered after getting off the plane.” Julian smiled. It was a very ambiguous smile.

He pressed himself against her ear and kissed her face. Annalise looked like she was encouraging him, but dammit, he liked it very much. “Is there a bathroom upstairs too? I’ll go upstairs and take a shower,” Julian said. “Wait a minute. I’ll get you a towel.” Annalise got Julian a new towel and some toiletries. “I have to work tomorrow. I won’t torture you,” Julian said as they lay on the bed after taking a shower.

Annalise heaved a sigh of relief. She really wanted to rest. Although she also had a lie-down on the plane, she really did not sleep well. The feeling of weightlessness was uncomfortable.

“Good night.” Annalise crawled under the thin blanket after saying goodnight. It had been a long time since she slept in her own bed. However, as soon as she crawled under the blanket, Julian began hugging her from behind. Thereafter, his hands were all over her. Annalise was speechless. Didn’t he say that he wouldn’t torture her?

She said again, “It’s late. Let’s go to sleep early. We’ll go to the Moonlight Group’s office tomorrow morning.” “Yes, I won’t torture you. Just twice,” Julian said straightforwardly. Annalise instantly blushed all the way to her ears. Julian was definitely a man of action…. He was also a man of his word. He really kept it to two times.

After that, he hugged her and kissed her cheek. “Good night, my dear.” He felt that men should not have sex. Once they did, their minds would be filled with such things. He didn’t seem to get tired of it, and he could never feel satiated. At nine the next morning. Annalise and Julian entered the office of the Moonlight Group. At the same time, Annalise also notified the lawyer her mother had appointed back then.

Kent Barton was very displeased with Annalise, but he was still quite polite to Julian. In fact, he was also displeased with Julian, but he could not afford to offend someone of Julian’s status. He greeted them with a smile, “Julian, Anna, why are you here? Quick, have a seat! Have a seat!”

He immediately dialed the internal line and asked his secretary to prepare coffee and fruit platters.

Annalise went straight to the point. “Uncle Kent, I’m here to take back the shares my mother left me.”

When he heard that, Kent couldn’t keep the smile on his face anymore.

He said, “Anna, you know… I’ve been running the Moonlight Group all these years.” “Yes. That’s why my mother left Uncle Kent 30% of the shares,” Annalise said. When the lawyer found Annalise back then, he showed her the agreement her mother had left behind.

Her mother had allocated the Moonlight Group shares. Annalise got 70%, while Uncle Kent got 30%.

Annalise could inherit the 70% allocated to her when she reached the age of 20.

Initially, when she turned 20, Uncle Kent should have returned the shares to her. When Uncle Kent said that he would do it at the end of the year, she agreed to his proposition on account of the fact that he was Mother’s biological younger brother. Annalise felt that there was no need to cause such a big ruckus. After experiencing a series of events, she was utterly disappointed and did not want to talk about any sentiment or pride anymore.

With everything written down in black and white, Uncle Kent had no chance of winning if they went to court. Kent wanted to fly into a rage, but because Julian was present, he forcefully suppressed his temper and said kindly. “Anna, I’ve been managing the Moonlight Group for more than ten years.” “Yes.

No matter how long you have been running it, it still belongs to my mother.” “Its value has already increased by more than ten times.” Kent was a little angry.

Annalise nodded. “Yes, its value has increased more than tenfold. Uncle Kent, you have been enjoying all along the value the Moonlight Group brings to you, haven’t you?”

“You!” Kent almost choked on his anger. He raised his voice slightly. “What do you mean by I have been enjoying the value? I created this value. I’ve worked hard for more than ten years. Why should you take the shares as soon as you come?”

If it were 1% or 2%, he would just grit his teeth and give it to her. Annalise was dreaming if she thought he would give up 70%. “Because the Moonlight Group was left to me by my mother,” Annalise said indifferently.

“Uncle Kent, if you’re unwilling, then we will go through the legal channels.” Julian, who had been silent all this while, spoke up. The aura around his body was icy cold. Once his aura was released, it inexplicably intimidated people. He was not as gentle to everyone as he was to Annalise Kent’s tone immediately softened when he saw he was up against Julian. “Julian, we’re family. If there’s anything, we should just discuss it nicely. There’s no need to go to that extent. Anna, Uncle was a little hot-tempered just now. Uncle apologizes to you.”

Annalise said calmly, “There’s no need to apologize. Just give me the shares my mother left me, that’s all.” Every time Kent heard Annalise mention the word ‘Shares,’ he felt the urge to strangle her.

Unfortunately, he could not afford to offend Julian Parks.

He could only discuss it with Annalise. “Anna, you’re young and don’t know anything. You don’t know how to run a company, either. How about this? Uncle will give you… 5% of the shares.” Initially, he wanted to say 1%. However, when he saw Julian looking at him icily, he changed the figure to 5%.

“Uncle Kent, do you think I’m a fool?” Annalise looked at Kent in amusement. “My mother left me 70%

Why would I accept 5% instead of 70%?” Julian wanted to laugh when he saw how smoothly Annalise rebutted Kent. He realized that he did not need to speak. Annalise could fight for herself. He only needed to sit here and intimidate Kent Barton.

“Anna, you’re still young and don’t know how to manage a company. You have to know that managing a company is very complicated. As the saying goes, it’s easy to start a business but difficult to maintain it. If a company isn’t managed well, it can go bankrupt overnight.” Kent looked like he was thinking of Annalise’s interests. “I can help Annalise manage it!” Julian said indifferently again. When Kent heard that, he was downright speechless.

Julian was sitting right here. Kent couldn’t say that Julian was young and didn’t know how to manage businesses. After all, he had been managing the Parks Group in Jadeborough from a young age.

He could only take a different tack and said to Annalise, “Anna, can you take it that Uncle is keeping these shares for you? How about this? When you and Julian have a child, Uncle will transfer 70% of the shares to you. What do you think?” He had decided to stall for time to pacify Annalise.

He would then ask Annalise out in private and use emotional ties to make her understand. He would persuade her that she couldn’t bring everything to her husband’s family if she wanted to maintain the stability of her maiden family. He would promise Annalise that he would remain her maiden family forever.
