BuzzNovelChapter 225
Clara had been sitting in the hospital room for a good half-hour, still unable to bring up the topic of the executive
rights. She was worried Johnny might really think she was trying to take advantage of him, especially given her
past antics, which hadn't exactly painted her in the best light.
Just as she was about to head out, Johnny broke the silence with a question, "Has Greysen been giving you
grief?"
Greysen was one of the senior execs with a lot of clout. Clara decided to be upfront. "Yeah, he's got sshares
and won't listen tonow. Dad, | was actually hoping you'd lethandle the executive rights for the company.
Maybe transfer sshares totemporarily? Once this whole mess blows over, I'll give them back. | never
wanted anything from the Bradford family anyway."
As she finished, she caught a glimpse of sadness in Johnny's eyes, like she'd hit a raw nerve. Clara found herself
at a loss for words, just standing there awkwardly.
After what felt like an eternity, Johnny sighed, "I'll have my assistant and lawyer get in touch with you."

"Thanks, Dad."
Leaving the hospital, Clara couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling. It seemed like Johnny might've known what she
was going to say all along. After years in the company, he probably knew every exec's quirks like the back of his
hand. still, he'd been the one to bring it up.
Her heart felt heavy. Soon enough, Johnny's assistant and lawyer reached out, and she temporarily snagged
twenty percent of the shares. Such a major shift in shares was bound to make waves, and the execs were all
alerted. Watching her pull off getting so many shares in just a few hours left everyone speechless.
Except for Greysen, who was still fuming. "I don't get what Johnny's thinking, handing over so many shares to
Clara. Does she even know the first thing about running a company? The Bradford family is doomed!"
He was still ranting in his office when Clara walked in. "Director Greysen, if you're so sure the Bradford family is
going down, I'll buy your shares at a premium. You interested?"
Greysen had five percent of the shares. His face turned a deep shade of red. This woman was after his shares.
He slammed the table. "Clara! You're out of line! Just so you know, I've got connections at Ferguson Corporation.
If you start changing up projects, I'll make sure they hear about it and see how you handle Dylan."
Clara raised an eyebrow, not expecting him to have ties at Ferguson Corporation. But she wasn't fazed. Who
knew if he was bluffing anyway.
"Director Greysen, I'm offering you a good deal for your shares. My dad just gavethe reins, and he
company's direction is in my hands now. I'll be honest, I've got a buyer lined up. In a month, the company will be
sold for a low price, making everyone's shares worthless. But they've promiseda cool two billion as a
retirement package, so | won't have to worry."
Basically, Clara was being bought out. She just needed to hand over control and shares, and the company would
no longer be under the Bradford name. Outsiders would take charge, likely starting by clearing out the old guard.
Greysen was in shock, his anger visible. "The company is your father's life's work. You'd just sell it off like that?
Did you even ask for his permission?"
Clara laughed. "Why would | need his permission? You know how the Bradford family's treated me. | only stepped
into the company recently, so its fate doesn't concern me. I'm just here for the cash."
"Clara!!"
Greysen was livid, feeling like his head might explode, but Clara had already left, acting every bit the spoiled
heiress.
Fuming, Greysen immediately called his buddy at Ferguson Corporation. They were close enough to help each
other out from tto time, and now seemed like the perfect moment to cash in on that friendship.
He spilled the beans on Clara's plan to tweak the contract. The Ferguson Corporation exec saw it as a golden
opportunity to score points. After all, this was
a massive deal, and the CEO needed to be in the loop.
Plus, wasn't Clara working at Ferguson Corporation's top level? Pulling a stunt like this was beyond reckless!
The exec eagerly agreed to pass the info along to Dylan. Greysen felt smug, confident that Dylan's decisive
nature would soon have Clara out of the picture.
However, when the exec mentioned it to Dylan, he kept his eyes on the documents, not saying a word.
The exec was sweating bullets, sensing that Dylan was in a good mood today. There's no scowl in sight, just a
calm demeanor.
Feeling bold, he continued, "Boss, her actions scream disrespect. We should either fire her on the spot or find a
permanent solution to the problem."
