Loving A STRANGER 226 Chapter 226: I Won't Give You Any Chance To Defeat Me

One of the more level headed shareholders looked around the table and said, "Let's not all lose our heads now. We are going through a rough spot now. Nothing more. Our captain is not well, but he will recover and take back his rightful place at the table. When that happens, we can send this little puppy back from whence she came. Once we talk to Laurence, I am sure that we can collectively convince him to keep Khloe out of our business. After all, he is a reasonable man, and he knows how to make this business get back on track,"

The man looked at Kylie and said, "Where are we at, at this very moment?"

Kylie smiled and said, "The opening price of Garcia Entertainment today is one dollar and ten cents per share in the stock market. It was gradually decreasing its value. It is lower than it has been in the past twelve months, but let's not forget that it has dropped down to thirty-eight cents in previous years – but we came back in a big way! If the trend continues to fall and you decide to sell in two months, you will definitely lose money. If you stay on board for the long haul, though, I do believe that we will recover again – in a big way! We still have enough time to cope up everything,"

Hearing this, Khloe was stunned. She had no idea that Kylie was so knowledgeable. She leaned back and whispered in Duncan's ear: 'What do you think?"

Duncan whispered back: "She knows her s.h.i.+t. Her advice sounds good. I don't think any of this will finish in your favor… You should think another way to defeat her,"

Khloe frowned and said, "Even if my plans are foiled if the old man gets better and the company springs back, there is still the chance that I can win her over to my way of thinking…"

Khloe had no choice but to backpedal. She knew that if they took a vote against her today and came back unanimous, their desires would supersede those of her or her father. She looked at the shareholder's and said, "Kylie's intel is correct. There is a good chance that the company will spring back. In the meantime, before I make any big decisions, I will try to consult with as many of you as possible,"

"If you do wish to sell your stocks right now, though," Khloe continued, "I would like to offer to pay 10% higher than the market price. If you guys would a.n.a.lyze it better, this should show you how much I believe in the company. At the right time, Garcia Entertainment will definitely bring us more fortune,"

As soon as Khloe finished talking, one of the older shareholders stood up. He pointed at Khloe, and then at Kylie. He frowned and said, "I don't trust either of you. You are both kin to Laurence, and yet you both appear to be at odds with each other. Something seems fishy to me about that. It is almost as though the two of you were in cahoots with each other to gain full control of this company… This sounds ridiculous and gives us second thought to give up,"

One of the other shareholders looked at the sisters and said, "I suggest we all step into the next room and discuss this without the ladies,"

One by one, the shareholders nodded and slipped out of the room.

Once they were gone, one of Laurence's peons looked at Khloe and said, "Miss Flinch, since Laurence handed the company over to you, that means he trusts you. You should trust your instinct and do what you think is right. If you weren't capable, Laurence wouldn't have put this responsibility on you. Because Laurence trusted you, we do too. We believe that you could lead Garcia Entertainment to a new higher step."

Khloe looked at them for their kind words. She pretended to act knowledgeable, in fact, she was lacking knowledge on how to manage the company. 

The shareholders returned, and, as soon as they were seated, one of them stood up and said, "We have spoken about this, and there is no doubt in our minds that when Laurence comes back to work, he will be proud of you again. That being said, I need money. My wife is ill. I plan to take her abroad to see a specialist, and that is very expensive. Furthermore, there a number of others who are tapped out for various other reasons."

"Although I hate to leave the company," he continued, "I feel that I must take you up on your offer."

Khloe smiled. Since Kylie had attained a large number of stocks, she knew that the only way to compete with Kylie properly would be to buy up as much as she could.

Kylie smiled sadly and said, "We will definitely be sad to see you go. This group has come to feel like a family to me. That being said, I recognize that you are in a time of need, and I am very happy that I am in a position to help you all out. My lawyer will draw up the papers by the end of the day and fax them to your lawyers. It has been good knowing you."

Once the business was completed, everybody began to leave until, finally, Khloe was alone with Kylie. She laughed at Kylie and said, "Your defeat is imminent. Why don't you jump s.h.i.+p while you are able? Today, I will extend the offer that I made to everyone else, to you. Let me know by the end of the day. At 5 PM, though, I will withdraw my offer. You should give up and save your face sister,"

Kylie chuckled and said, "The game has just begun to get interesting. Why would I quit? You know that I am much better than you. Let's find out who will win at the end. I won't give you any chance to defeat me, dear sister,"
