The Bodyguard System

The lady looked at her husband with horror in her eyes. There was clear disbelief on her face, as she gazed at the person that she had never expected to attack her.

It might be true that he had attacked her several times, but it was not in such a situation. Every time, it was simply because he was irritated with something happening in the company. But of course, he would only beat her up when they were alone.

But now, not only had he beaten her in front of her own son, instead, it was even in front of a bastard that she hated the most. This was extreme humiliation that she had never expected to face!

"Yo-you slapped me? You actually slapped me?!" The lady asked with disbelief in her voice. And other than that, there was anger that was brewing in her eyes.

"Josephine! Don't you understand the current situation that we are in? You keep on provoking other people like this just because of your stupidity. If you continue like this, I will definitely give you a divorce right now. If you want to go down, then go alone, don't involve me!" Wilfred suddenly called out his wife's name, and stated those words fiercely.

Just by looking at Wilfred's face, Josephine could immediately tell that he was extremely angry at her. But, she was not a person that really cared much about logic.

"You bastard! You are blaming me for this? Even though I am the one that told you to do all those things, did you not do them at the end of it all? Am I the one that forced you? Now, I don't know what it is that has happened to the company, and you are venting on me?" Josephine suddenly shouted back at her husband.

Wilfred's expression turned livid. He was not happy with the fact that his wife was talking to him in such a way. He took a step forward, and slapped her once again.

But Josephine remained relentless, as if she was not going to give in. She glared at him with hatred in her eyes, making Wilfred feel a little helpless. That was the problem with his wife, as long as she was set with doing something, it was impossible for anybody to make her change her mind.

It did not matter what It was that was done, but it was impossible to make her do otherwise. In this situation, just by looking at the eyes that were gazing back at him, he could immediately tell that she was not going to give up if the two of them continued arguing.

But that was not the most important thing to do at this moment. It was better for him to focus on the elephant in the room. So, after glaring at his wife, he turned and looked at Jaden.

Then, with a forced smile on his face, he said, "My nephew Jaden, you know I did not mean all those that I said, right? As for taking the inheritance that previously belonged to you, that was just a method of training you. I did not want you to end up like my son who is completely hedonistic.

You know, my brother would have definitely raised you well. But since he is not here, I had no choice but to take responsibility of you, making sure that you would not take the wrong path.

So, I decided to make sure that you did not get the wealth that your father possessed previously, to train you.

But now, you have already reached an age that you are old enough to be able to control the wealth. So, I am willing to give you 20% of the company shares, what do you think?"

It was clear from his voice that Wilfred was completely reluctant on offering 20% of the shares of his company. He owned 100% of the shares in the company, and he did not allow anybody else to own the shares of the company.

This was just a method that he was using to make sure that he had full control over the company. He did not want a situation where he would have to consult other people in order to make decisions within the company.

But now, considering the current situation that the company was in, he had no other choice but to give away the shares of the company.

Still, he was quite cautious. He only decided to give away 20%, as a method of making sure that he would have the most say in the company. He was not willing to allow another person to control his company. Your next journey awaits at мѵʟ

Jaden on the other hand did not respond. He had no interest in this company that belonged to Wilfred. To Jaden, all that mattered was this villa. After all, this was where the memories that he had with his parents mainly were.

As for the company that did not even have a net worth of $20 million, Jaden did not care. After all, his account was currently having over 100 million dollars. So, why should he care about 20% of $17 million?

While Jaden did not care, that did not imply that other people did not. Both Charles and his mother stared at Wilfred with eyes wide open. They clearly could not believe what he had just said.

At this point, they were not that sure if he was joking or not about the training. But still, they could tell that he was absolutely serious about claiming that he was willing to give 20% shares of the company to Jaden.

The two of them understood Wilfred very well. So, they were especially surprised to considering that he was actually willing to offer 20% shares of the company to Jaden, when he did not even want to give to Charles even 2% of the shares of the company.

According to him, if the company was handed over to Charles, he would simply squander it. So, it was better for Wilfred to control the company himself, making sure that it had reached the very top, before allowing Charles to enter the management of the company.

That way, even if Charles made some irresponsible decisions, it would be difficult for the company to be able to collapse. That was the dream that Wilfred was having, but it was going to collapse at this moment.

"Are you mad? You are actually intending to give 20% shares of the company to that bastard? You must be crazy!" Josephine shouted as she struggled to get back on her feet.

Wilfred completely ignored Josephine. In any case, no matter what she said, she was not going to change his mind. He had already made a decision, and he had to look for a way to make sure that the company would not collapse.

He had already noticed that Jaden was involved with the collapse of the company. So, the only way to salvage the company was to make sure that Jaden took the shares. That way, if he owned 20% of the shares, it would be impossible for him to make the company go bankrupt.

Instead, Jaden might actually use the connections that he had utilized in order to make the company fall into this situation, to make the company prosper. That way, even though he would only possess 80% of the shares at that time, still, compared to the current 100% shares, they would be a great difference.

When Wilfred noticed that Jaden was not responding, he could not help but get even more anxious. Then, while gritting his teeth, he said, "What about 25% of the shares? Other than me, there will be nobody else that will be having higher authority within the company than you."

Jaden of course ignored Wilfred. Instead, he continued waiting for something. He did not care about the shares, and even if Wilfred actually decided to offer 100% shares to him at this moment, Jaden was not going to take them.

He had already made a decision to destroy the company together with Wilfred and his family. And that decision was not going to change at all.

"You must be going crazy! There has to be something wrong with your brain right now!" Josephine shouted once again. She approached Wilfred, only to be pushed aside by Wilfred.

Wilfred was not willing to get involved with this stupid wife of his. She did not understand the current situation, and kept on insisting on causing even more problems.

If Jaden decided not only to make sure that his company had collapsed, and decided to target them at this moment, they would definitely be in even more peril.

"This is as far as I can go. 50% of the shares of the company." Wilfred suddenly stated. This was as far as he could go. Even though he was a business person, he was a person with his own pride after all.

He had already reached His bottom line when he claimed that he was willing to give Jaden 50% of the company shares. And beyond that, it was impossible. For him, it was better for the company to collapse, rather than handing over shares to Jaden, so that Jaden can be above him.

While Wilfred was waiting for Jaden to respond, there was a sudden knock at the door. This made Wilfred tense even more. He looked at Charles who had somehow managed to sit on the couch and said, "Go and check out who is at the door."

Even though Charles was flabbergasted by the turn of events here, still, he managed to struggle to get up from the couch. Then, with great difficulty, he went towards the door.

And when the door was opened, three people came in while wearing suits and carrying briefcases. They all possessed stoic expressions as they approached the living room, while completely ignoring Charles.
