Regret Came Too Late

Grace had been in the ward for half an hour, yet she still hadn't brought up the matter of executive rights. She feared that Quentin would really think she was taking advantage of him.

After all, her past conduct had been quite bad.

But just as she was about to get up and leave, Quentin asked, "Edric has made things difficult for you, hasn't he?"

Edric was the senior executive who opposed her.

Grace admitted it straightaway. "Yes, he holds shares and won't listen to me. Dad,

I actually want to ask you for the executive rights of the company.

"You can transfer some shares to me first. Once this matter is over, I'll transfer them back to you. I've never intended to take anything from our family anyway."

As soon as she said that, she saw a flash of sadness in Quentin's eyes, as if she had hit his sore spot. She figured it was best not to say anything more, so she just stood there in silence.

After a long while, Quentin said with a sigh, "I'll have my assistant and lawyer go to see you."

"Thank you, Dad." As Grace left the ward, she felt a little uneasy. It seemed like Quentin had known from the very beginning what she was going to say.

After all, he had been with the company for so many years and knew the personalities of every executive very well. But in the end, it was still he who took the initiative to speak out.

She was distressed, but she soon met up with Quentin's assistant and lawyer and was temporarily given 20% of the shares.
