•••••••

Everyone was stunned. They did not expect that the 10% shares given by Old Madam Pratap had not been transferred yet.

However, Tapas Pratap was right. Since they had more shares than Shivam, they indeed had the right to change the leader.

The old shareholders nodded. "Indeed. No one should have any objections to everything now."

When Yash Pratap thought of this, his expression relaxed.

Shina and Tinki also heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although there were twists and turns, they did not fail.

The end result was still good.

"Then, everyone, let's congratulate CEO Pratap for becoming the new leader of Pratap Group!" An old shareholder extended his hand and made a gesture to welcome Yash Pratap to take over.

At this moment, Shivam was helpless. Everyone had already decided that this was the outcome.

Some people sighed while some laughed.

Isha crushed the Coke bottle. Although she knew that Shivam must have a solution, she couldn't help but want to smash their heads.

Yash Pratap stood up, adjusted his clothes, and gestured to everyone. He was in high spirits. This position should have been his many years ago. After more than 20 years, he was finally back!

Shina and Tinki were also overjoyed. They looked at Yash Pratap happily and smiled sweetly.

Tapas Pratap heaved a long sigh of relief. Although he was indeed not cautious enough, it was not a big deal.

This position belonged to his father now. Sooner or later, this position would also be his.

Shivam would eventually be excluded from the entire Pratap Group.

Yash Pratap walked toward Shivam.

"Hold it," Shivam, who had been silent, suddenly said.

His voice was not loud, but it was very clear. It easily attracted everyone's attention.

Yash Pratap stopped in his tracks. Because he was already the winner, he was especially relaxed and more tolerant of Shivam.

He smiled and said, "Shivam, so what if you lose to your father? Work hard in the future. As long as you're sensible, I won't make things difficult for you."

[How shameless.] Rudra and Isha typed at the same time.

Shivam said calmly, "Mr. Pratap, aren't you going to ask me how many shares I have?"

His name was Yash Pratap, but he was neither his father nor CEO Pratap. Clearly, Shivam did not treat him as a member of the Pratap family or Pratap Group.

How distant.

Because Yash Pratap looked down on Shivam and didn't think that he had any ability, he underestimated Shivam. He smiled and said, "Then how much do you have? Show me."

Hari immediately took out a stack of documents and placed it in front of everyone. He said, "Mr. Pratap, if you want to be the person in charge, I'm afraid you're still lacking in shares. Mr. Pratap has 51% of Pratap Group's shares!"

"Impossible!" Yash Pratap said immediately. "The shares of the entire Prayap family will only be 51% when combined with yours, but your grandmother has already given 10% to me and Tapas. Even if you gather more, you won't be able to gather enough!"

Everyone was also surprised, but what Hari took out clearly stated that Shivam indeed had 51% of the shares. He had far more than Yash Pratap!

What the hell was going on?

Tapas Pratap did not believe it either. "Grandma gave her shares to me. It can't be wrong. I received them personally."

Shivam still sat steadily and said calmly, "Are you sure you were able to keep what Grandma gave you? Mr. Tapas Pratap, the market is risky. Please be careful when investing!"

Tapas Pratap's face turned pale. "You... You... You cheated me of 10% of my shares?"

Hari replied unhurriedly, "Mr. Tapas Pratap, please have some self-respect. How can you say that we cheated you when it comes to investments? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for not being capable enough and being inferior to others. You lost all the shares to our Mr. Pratap."

Hearing this, Yash Pratap's face turned pale, and his hands trembled. His footsteps, which were originally walking toward Shivam, became as heavy as lead!

Oh no!

It was all over!

The 51% that Shivam had was given to him by Old Master Pratap and Kareena.

They all hated Yash Pratap. No one would be as soft-hearted as Old Madam Pratap and be deceived by a few words of flattery.

In other words, Shivam's current shares were impregnable. No one could shake them.

Most of the shareholders supported Shivam. Seeing that the situation had changed, they all looked excited.

One of them led the applause.

The applause of the others followed closely.

Hari and Rudra also clapped until their hands turned red.

The old shareholders looked at each other with flushed faces. It was as if those slaps had all landed on their faces.

Yash Pratap turned around and slapped Tapas Pratap. He felt deeply embarrassed!

After planning for so long and even holding the various shares that Gaurav had secretly bought from the secondary market, he still suffered a crushing defeat.

Yash Pratap felt embarrassed and turned to leave.

Tapas Pratap hurriedly followed.

Shina and Tinki were no longer as energetic as before. Although the mother and daughter wanted to maintain their composure and walk out arrogantly, they still almost tripped over their high heels at the door.

Those old shareholders who had sided with Yash Pratap could neither leave nor stay. Especially when they thought of how Shivam had given them important positions recently, they could not help but regret it.

If they had followed Shivam, their futures would've been bright. Why did they have to be overwhelmed by anger and fantasize about helping Yash Pratap in order to improve their lives? In the end, it was all for nothing.

Hari smiled and said, "Do you want me to accompany you out?"

"We wouldn't dare." The old shareholders immediately left in embarrassment.

Isha, who had been watching the video, heaved a sigh of relief. Shivam had handled everything well.

Her husband was so capable and handsome.

To celebrate, she unscrewed another bottle of Coke.

At this moment, Shivam took the phone from Rudra and whispered to her, "Drink less, okay?"

She got caught, boo-hoo.

Isha smiled awkwardly. "I only took a small sip from that bottle just now. I was so angry that I squeezed the bottle and spilled the rest."

"Okay." Shivam returned the phone.

Kareena glanced at her son and did not say anything, but her expression became much gentler.

The other shareholders said happily, "Mr. Pratap, no matter what happens, we'll follow your lead!"

Rudra said, "Of course. You can only enjoy wealth if you follow my brother."

Shivam interrupted him and said, "Let's have a meeting."

......

When Yash Pratap went out, he could not control himself and gave Tapas Pratap another tight slap.

Tapas Pratap covered his face, his eyes red. He had nothing to say.

This time, not only did he lose the 10% shares, but he even borrowed a lot of money as capital. He planned to get back what he had lost previously.

Previously, the investor had always said that there was no problem at all. Now, it seemed that everything had been for naught.

The most urgent problem he faced was the high-interest loan he still had to repay.

Shina hurriedly advised, "Hubby, our son didn't do it on purpose. He was tricked by Shivam."

Tapas Pratap secretly gritted his teeth. He had originally wanted to rely on these 10% shares to earn more benefits and stabilize his father's position.

Unexpectedly, he fell into Shivam's trap. No wonder that investor had been perfunctory in his responses to him. It seemed that the investor had long been bribed by Shivam.

Yash Pratap looked up at the sky. "I really underestimated that bastard."

After his failure, he no longer had any father-son relationship with Shivam. He said insultingly, "I should have expected it. When he was so young, he looked at me with evil intentions. I actually treated him like a little lamb!"

Shina was extremely disappointed, especially when she received Kareena's gaze when she left. That gaze was high and mighty, shattering her dignity.

She hated it. She was so close to victory, but in the end, it was all for nothing.

But now, with her husband and son in this situation, she had to brace herself to deal with it.

"Hubby, let's run our own company well first. If we can't do it the first time, there'll still be a next time. This time, we were just short of victory. There are still many opportunities in the future."

Yash Pratap had no choice.

Tinki remained silent.

Many people in her Whatsapp group were asking how she was doing.

Among the people of Chauhan Consortium, her status was the most inconspicuous. However, if her father became the head of Pratap Corporation, she would not be afraid of anyone looking down on her.

The news that she bought four villas as if they were nothing had already been sent to the family group chat, attracting many envious voices. Many people had already expressed their blessings in advance.

Tinki also promised everyone that when the villas were renovated, she would invite everyone over.

Now, her father had failed. She had to gather the credit cards that she had been fanatically swiping recently and give them back to her father. How could she afford to buy a house?

Someone in the family kept tagging her. [Tinki, how's the situation? When can we go to your new villa to play?]

[Exactly. We're all looking forward to it.]

[Also, can we visit Pratap Group in the future? I heard that the design of that building is very ingenious, but we haven't seen it with our own eyes, so we don't know how ingenious it is. Tinki, can you show us when the time comes?]

[@Tinki, let's talk about business cooperation. With you as the channel, we can finally build a relationship with Pratap Group. I'll give you a discount. Name a price.]

[@Tinki, if we do business together, everything can be discussed.]

Tinki pretended to be dead and did not reply. She took a deep breath.

The manager who sold the villas to her also sent a Whatsapp message: [Miss Pratap, this is the sales office of the villa district in the city center. Sorry to disturb you, but let me remind you that the villas you've booked will have to be paid for in three days. If you don't pay in time, we can't reserve the right to buy them for you, nor can we refund your deposit.]

Tinki : "..."

Tinki didn't want to reply at all. She only wanted to do one thing-kill Tapas Pratap!

Of course, it was just a thought.

......

After the shareholders' meeting, Shivam returned to his office.

Kareena came out of the conference room and saw that all the employees were looking at her expectantly with relieved expressions.

She couldn't help but feel a wave of relief. Even with so many people standing against her son, there were still so many people waiting eagerly for him to win.

His dedication and ability had not been let down.

She flashed a smile at the crowd before turning.

The employees whispered, "Everything's fine, everything's fine! There's finally no unrest."

"Exactly. It was horrible. I was prepared to find another job."

"What are you afraid of? It's such a big corporation. Even if the boss of our boss changes, it doesn't matter, right?"

"What do you know? If there really was a change, you'd cry to death. Anyway, I don't know how they make decisions and lead the company. I only know that with Mr. Pratap around, I can work in peace and don't have to worry about not getting a salary and bonus. I also know that as long as I'm capable, I can obtain the corresponding gains. My family and I can live carefree lives."

"I can't agree more."

"I agree very much."

"If it were another boss, they might not be able to do this. Otherwise, why do you think so many people want to sharpen their minds and come to our company?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I apologize for what I just said. The big boss can't be changed. Your words have enlightened me."

There was a knock on the door.

"Mom." Shivam opened the door. He had already packed his things and was about to leave.

"You're going back?"

"Yes." Shivam nodded.

Kareena followed him out. "It's been hard on you today."

Shivam shook his head. "It's just my job."

Kareena was very apologetic, but she felt pretentious when she said it.

The person who should be sorry for this was clearly the irresponsible man.

They walked in silence.

Shivam was not a talkative person to begin with. Because of Isha, the relationship between him and Kareena was even more different than before. Although he was still respectful, he had obviously added a barrier between them. He would no longer be unguarded against his mother.

Kareena knew that she had asked for it, so she couldn't blame anyone.

She suddenly thought of something and said, "What exactly is going on with that Ish Pratap?"

"What do you mean?" Shivam asked casually and pressed the elevator button.

"Previously, you were photographed with a guy named Ish Pratap. I believe you aren't such a frivolous person. How can you face Isha and the two children like this? Is it a rumor? Tell me and I'll settle it."

"It's true. There's no need to settle it."

Kareena : "..."

She said earnestly, "Then does Isha know? Son, you're old now. There are some things that I shouldn't say, but you can't be an irresponsible man."
