�I invested 100 million in this company that year, and this company has run for more than four years. I won�t make use of your misfortune given that we�ve worked hard together for so many years. Just double it based on the growth rate every year and convert the shares to 520 million for me!�

Renee burst out laughing, then retorted sharply, �Miss Osborne, you�re asking for an exorbitant price. It�s natural to win or lose in investment. You claimed that Azure Group has suffered losses all year round for the past few years, but you want me to refund you capital based on those years. Who is being stupid now?�

�I don�t care. I already transferred the shares to you, so you must convert them to 520 million for me. If not, I�ll come and make a scene every day, so this company will be ruined!� Laura did not want to care about her dignity when it came to money. She was running out of options.

Firstly, her father forced her to transfer the shares to Renee, so she could never retrieve them. Secondly, the shares would make her suffer a great loss even if she did not transfer them to Renee given the current situation of Azure Group. At that point, she would have lost her capital.

Thus, she might as well take the opportunity to get some money. After all, Renee was rather capable. She could get billions easily, so a few hundred million was surely not a big deal.

�You can curse me for being shameless, but I�m out of options. My father values his son more than his daughters. He has already let my brother lead the Osborne family. I don�t have any say in Osborne Group, so I can only come to you to ask for compensation. After all, you�re the reason this happened!� Laura snarled furiously. She had to fight for this, or else she would have nothing.

After a brief pause, Renee sighed and said rather helplessly, �You�re right � it is because of me. You�re more or less innocent in all this, so I�ll give you two options��

�Two options?�

�The first option is to stay in Azure Group. I promise to give you not less than 21% of the shares and a year-end bonus. The second choice is I�ll pay you 520 million, but you must sign a formal contract to give up the shares on your own willingly. Then, you�ll have nothing to do with Azure Group if it rises or falls in the future.

Laura replied immediately, �Isn�t it obvious? Of course, I�ll pick the 520 million. Azure Group is going to be ruined, so which fool would stay? You don�t even know if the company will survive until the end of the year, and yet you�re talking about a year-end bonus. It�ll be a blessing if the company doesn�t go bankrupt by then!� Laura sneered mockingly. After all, she had worked hard for four years, but she saw no benefits. The competition between these companies was also getting stronger year by year, so it was very difficult to make a turnover.

�Got it!� Renee raised her brows and said to Laura, �Sign this contract then. I�ll ask the finance department to transfer the money to you later.�

She pushed the contract to Laura as if she had expected her to choose that option.

�I didn�t expect you to be so agreeable.� Laura quickly signed her name and stood up arrogantly. �I�m leaving, but� I believe that we�ll meet again soon.�

After she left the office, one of the company staff stood outside Renee�s door hesitantly. �Miss� Miss Everheart..�

Renee looked up from the document and asked, �What�s the matter?�

�Well, it�s hard to explain. Please come out and see for yourself!� The staff looked very troubled.

Renee shook her head and headed out of the office. She found that a group of employees had gathered and were repeatedly shouting, �We want compensation!�

Renee gritted her teeth and snapped, �Keep quiet. What is this fuss all about?�

�Miss Everheart is finally here!� The group�s representative walked over to her and said, �Miss Everheart, we worked for Mr. Osborne and Miss Osborne in the past. We won�t stay now that they�ve left, but they promised to give us shares and dividends. We still haven�t received anything until now. Since you�re nowthe head of this company, I hope you can fulfil the conditions in the contract before we leave. If not, we�ll go to the Bureau of Labor!�

�It�s all about money with them, isn�t it?� Renee was silently seething. They were all heartless snobs. Azure Group was still running, but they were just trying to make things worse for the company. JrNovels.com
