Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife -
Chapter 250
Chapter 250: Chapter 250
Yolanda went pale the moment she heard the news. No, the Harris family can’t go bankrupt, at least not now!
Her engagement party with Zachary was just around the corner, and if they went bankrupt now, she wouldn’t even be able to marry a regular rich kid like Zachary! Her future would be just like any other ordinary person’s. No, she couldn’t let that happen!
"I’ll go talk to her," Olga said, getting ready to walk into the sick room in her high heels.
"Right now, we should start selling off my shares. The more we can stall, the better. Don’t bother with her; she won’t help," Attlee sighed, seemingly having foreseen the outcome.
Olga wanted to say something, but Attlee cut her off. "You know her temperament; the more we want her help, the less likely she is to give it. Let’s wait a few days before we approach her."
"What’s she doing with all those shares and cash? She can’t take it with her, and she won’t help us solve our problems!" Olga was more resentful of the old woman after saying this.
So was Yolanda. She wished the old woman would just kick the bucket already. After all, she hadn’t contributed anything to their descendants and always favored Rosemary! At least if she were dead, she wouldn’t be in the way or waste medical expenses!
"That’s her property! Now, help me spread the word and see if anyone we know is willing to buy our shares at a high price. Remember, this needs to be hush-hush."
Yolanda’s engagement party was about to begin. If people found out that the head of the Harris family was selling off shares, they would definitely think the Harris family was going under. Once the stock price dropped, the company’s crisis would worsen, and it would be even harder to recover!
"I got it!" Olga was very pissed off. She hadn’t expected to end up having to sell her shares without gaining anything.
Meanwhile, Jack got the news not long after Olga spread the word.
"Boss, the Collins family’s attack on the Harris family has intensified. Attlee can’t hold out any longer; he’s started selling off his shares."
Rosemary was surprised that her parents would attack the Harris family for no reason. Was it because of her?
With that thought in mind, she tapped her fingers lightly on the table and started planning. "Spread the word that the Harris family is going bankrupt. Create some negative news to add pressure and make the stock price plummet. Then have Dylan step in and buy up all the shares from Attlee."
"Alright, no problem!"
Jack knew that once Rosemary took action, no one else mattered! They had been too lenient with the Harris family in the past.
"Besides the shares, what other assets do they have?" Rosemary asked, lifting her head.
"If we don’t count what the old lady has, Attlee only has some real estate and a Maybach left. But Olga also has some shares, plus houses, cars, etc."
This time, they were selling Attlee’s shares, but Olga’s were still retained and not up for sale.
"We need to find a way to make them give up everything at once."
Since they kept harassing the old lady and making her angry, they deserved a lesson. After all, they would never learn their lesson in their lifetime.
"Boss, Olga is a real money-grubber. There’s no way she’d give up her assets easily at this crucial moment," Jack said.
"Weren’t we planning to bid on a plot of land in the suburbs?" Rosemary already had a plan in motion.
"Yeah." Jack nodded. "Dylan’s interested in the same plot. He wants to help you win the bid, but the McMillan Corporation is also eyeing it. They want to build the biggest cultural and tourism complex in Summerfield there."
Rumor had it that the McMillan Corporation wanted to build the nation’s largest Ferris wheel on that plot, alongside a bustling seaside opera house, a large commercial street, luxury hotels, and so on.
Rosemary analyzed, "Attlee is in desperate need of money. He’s already sold off his shares and definitely wants to make a hefty profit. We can spread the word that the land is very valuable and would bring a lot of money once bought. On the day of the auction, I’ll discuss it with the others and get Attlee to buy the land."
"Boss, you—" Jack had to express his admiration, "your strategy is brilliant."
The price of the land would require Attlee to use all of his assets, including loans, just to barely afford it. But there’s a catch with the land; Attlee would definitely regret it later.
"Spread more rumors that the land is very popular and valuable. Have more people around Attlee to create a tense atmosphere."
"Got it!" Jack immediately started preparing.
The next day, Rosemary visited the hospital’s Room 301, brought some fruits and snacks for the old lady, and installed surveillance equipment in a high place. If people didn’t carefully examine every corner of the room, they wouldn’t notice it. It blended with the wall color.
All in all, Rosemary always satisfied the old lady’s needs. The old lady had been wanting to install surveillance equipment for a while.
"I can check what’s happening in the room through my phone. If you ever get bored, I can chat with you through the surveillance, but you won’t be able to see me."
"It’s okay; as long as I can hear your voice, I’m satisfied." Grace’s mood improved due to Rosemary’s visit. She wanted to peel an apple for her.
But Rosemary took the apple from her and said, "Let me do these things. You need to rest now. After your surgery, when you recover, I’ll take you traveling to other countries."
"That would be great." Grace had long wanted to see other countries. "Whenever you have holidays, take me with you."
"No problem." Rosemary peeled more fruits for her.
Looking at how well-behaved Rosemary was and recalling Yolanda’s cunning eyes, Grace felt that there was no comparison. Rosemary was so much better!
"Grandma, which country do you like the most?" Rosemary handed over the cut fruits and asked softly.
"I like any country as long as you take me there." Grace also handed her some fruits. "Have some."
Rosemary took the fruits from Grace and tasted one, saying, "We’ll go to Dawnstar first. I’ll book the hotels and restaurants; you just need to come with me."
"Alright, I’d love to." Grace replied with a smile. "Oh, find a time for me to meet your boyfriend."
Rosemary smiled and said, "Alright, after your surgery, I’ll bring him to see you."
"He must be a great guy if you approve of him." Grace couldn’t wait to see them walk into the wedding hall. "I just don’t know what to prepare as a gift for the first meeting."
All she had were the things Rosemary had given her. After several months of hospital treatment, she didn’t have any valuable items with her.
