Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

Inside Master Rockwell's study at the Rockwell household, the gray-haired Master Rockwell was speaking to Decker. He held onto his cane tightly, and his expression was grave.

“So, you’re going to sign over half of your shares to this Mr. Bright tomorrow. Are you sure about that?”

Decker frowned, the reluctance written clear across his face, but he had no alternatives. “I have no choice in this matter. I have to.”

He had already signed the agreement Mr. Bright had sent over to him last week. The agreement clearly stated that if Mr. Bright managed to inject the crucial capital needed to relieve Rockwell Corporation’s current financial difficulty, Roland would yield half of his shares in the corporation to Mr. Bright.novelebook If he failed to meet his end of the agreement, he would have to repay double the amount of Mr. Bright’s investment in Rockwell Corporation.

Mr. Bright had fulfilled his end of the deal, and things at Rockwell Corporation were stable at last thanks to the massive amount of funds he injected into their market. Furthermore, the rumors about his talent in business were understated if anything else. He had drawn up intricate short-term and long-term plans, and the operations at Rockwell Corporation were expected to revert to normal in no time.

The other shareholders were in full agreement with the deal of splitting shares to Mr. Bright as well. Even Roland, who was always a thorn in his side, was surprisingly cordial and signed the agreement without protest.

With that, he no longer had a say in the matter and had to do what was expected of him.

Master Rockwell sighed gravely. "Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow morning."

He wanted to see with his eyes what sort of person this legendary Mr. Bright was. This supposed miracle worker not only possessed otherworldly wealth but also had a brilliant knack for business strategy.

“Alright, I’ll be heading out for now unless you have something else to say.”

"Go."

Decker turned and left.
