CHAPTER 1044 HALF OF SHAREHOLDINGS

Maximilian's had by no doubt comforted Stella, since the only thing she worried about was the safety of

her grandpa.

Maximilian left Stella behind and headed to the Berry Family directly.

At that moment, Frankie was anxiously worrying about the safety of his own granddaughter. He then

turned to Caleb with cold eyes, and swore to himself that if there was anything that happened to Stella,

he would not let Caleb off so easily.

As he caught Frankie's eyes, Caleb, trembling and rubbing his forehead, knew nothing about what

happened to Stella, nor how to explain to his grandpa about the current situation.

Caleb then offered a dry cough and said, "Don't worry, and Stella is going to be fine, grandpa. I'm now

giving her a phone call."

Frankie offered a cold hum and said, "If there is anything happening to her, you will be the one to

blame!"

His expectations of Caleb were at the moment reduced to nearly zero. The other two brothers, seeing

that he was blamed by the Frankie, were all gloating at him.

At that moment, one of the Berry Family's guards ran into the house and said, "Mr. Berry, the one who

called Maximilian is here!"

Frankie shuddered as he heard the name of Maximilian — he didn't expect that he would ever come so

soon. He took a deep breath, and shouted, "Bring him in!"

The news had also cast a shadow of fear on the other family members around, who were all in fear that

maybe today would be the end of the Berry Family if he came here for revenge.

Frankie, seeing that all his inferiors were in panic and fear, yelled with resentment, "Stay calm! You

guys are disgracing our family!"

Hearing the words of Frankie, though they were in fact still in panic, they still tried to stay calm

outwardly.

At this moment, Caleb hung off the phone and reported, "Grandpa, Stella said that she was safe and

sound — it sounded like that Maximilian had done nothing to her."

"So, you're going to wait until he has done anything to Stella, aren't you?" Frankie turned to Caleb with

fierce eyes.

After a while of awkward hesitation, Caleb comforted, "I know that you're not so satisfied with the plan,

grandpa. But since we are facing a bigger problem now, we should stay calm and work it out together."

Frankie disdained to give him either a look or any response.

As Maximilian stepped into the house and came up to the front of Frankie, Frankie was sitting on the

chair and looking down at Maximilian from a height, with a condescending attitude towards him.

Maximilian smiled, "So, we meet again."

"Yes, again, and you still look the same. Tell me, what brings you here?" Frankie hummed.

"Simple, I'm here for an answer: why do you guys always fight against me?" Maximilian said.

Frankie, together with all the other family members, remained silent to his question, since they were

now at a dead end fighting against Maximilian.

At the next moment, Frankie then decided to make concessions and asked, "Fine, tell me what you

want."

"In order to compensate for the losses that were caused by you guys, I need you to hand over half of

your company's shareholdings to Topyuan Group!" Maximilian said firmly.

Frankie and the other family members were all stunned to hear his incredible claim, which was

tantamount to robbery. They were absolutely not going to accept that.

"Nice try, but we are not going to accept that." Frankie refused. They were not going to accept any

unfair agreement as rude and unreasonable as such, let alone that in their heads, their social status

was much higher than that of Maximilian.

However, they didn't expect that Maximilian had long been prepared for situations like that. Maximilian

then said, "Mr. Berry, have you forgotten about the contract we signed up last time?"

Hearing that, Frankie frowned, and wondered whether there was anything wrong with the contract.

"I still remember that." Frankie nodded.

At this moment, Maximilian unexpectedly took out the contract, pointed at one of the terms and smiled,

"There is one term that you may have missed. Come and check it."

Subconsciously, Frankie looked at where Maximilian was pointing at and was stunned to find that the

term had clearly stated that if the Berry Family ever intervened the businesses of Topyuan Group

again, it would then voluntarily hand over half of its shareholdings to Topyuan Group.

With a sullen look on his face, Frankie shouted, "It must be faked!"

Maximilian smiled, "No, it's not. What I'm telling you is one hundred percent true."

At same time, Maximilian turned to the last page of the contract and showed the signature of Frankie.

Frankie was stunned to fall down from the chair, and regretted not having checked the contract in

detail.

"This is a swindle! I'm not going to accept that!" Frankie shook his head and yelled.

Maximilian spread his hands and said, "All this was written down clearly in black and white. So, you're

not going to run away from that."

The anger within Frankie was almost more than he could ever stand.

Maximilian then smiled and continued, "Or, maybe we can go to court and have a good discussion

about that, on the basis of this contract, of course."

Frankie calmed himself down and thought that he must patch up all this mess for the sake of peace : owner of this content.

and quiet. He then softened his voice and asked, "Maybe there is another way out for us."
