Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 773 - 769, you threaten me

About ten minutes later, Elizabeth White straightened her clothes, stood up from her chair, and walked to the door. Just then, the assistant director came looking for the main director. Perhaps to cover up, Director Zhang intentionally raised his voice and said, "Elizabeth, remember to come to my room tonight, let’s discuss your idea in detail."

"Got it, Director Zhang." Elizabeth swiftly agreed and nodded to the assistant director as she passed him by and left.

Melody Zachary temporarily moved into her son’s house, Felix Shaw made a call to his father conveying his mother’s intent. Oliver Shaw didn’t say much, but when the divorce agreement was presented in front of him, he refused to sign.

Not that he wanted to retain Melody Zachary, but because of the demands she made – to transfer 5% of the company shares to herself immediately and make it official, and that when he steps down from the company, all his shares would be transferred to his son, Felix Shaw.

Everyone has their own selfish motives, and Oliver Shaw was no exception. Just over fifty, he still had a lot of life ahead of him, and with a new wife and daughter, even if not for himself, he needed to consider Vanessa Armstrong and her mother.

Thus, faced with the divorce agreement placed before him, he outright refused to sign it.

Oliver Shaw’s intentions were obvious to several people. Melody Zachary was already aware of Vanessa Armstrong and her mother’s existence, and had even moved into the house, so now he didn’t really need to take her attitude into account; whether she divorced or not, it wouldn’t change this fact. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Mia Foster, frank and straightforward, immediately spoke out sarcastically against Oliver Shaw’s rogue attitude.

"Uncle Shaw, I never knew that a man could be as heartless as you. I know, now that the woman has moved in, even if you don’t sign the papers, mom can’t do much about it,"

Oliver Shaw leaned back in the sofa, staring at Mia Foster with a dark expression. She, undeterred by his displeasure, unconsciously fiddled with the divorce agreement and continued, "However... you seem to forget one important thing, the so-called fear of public opinion. Your darling daughter is still in elementary school; I wonder if her classmates find out her mother rose from being the other woman, and that she herself is just a love child, will they still be friends with her..."

Mia’s threatening tone was evident; her calm demeanor only further displeased Oliver Shaw, who snorted lightly, his eyes narrowing, "Are you threatening me?"

As she placed the divorce agreement onto the coffee table and met Oliver Shaw’s piercing gaze, Mia Foster smiled faintly, "You can think of it that way. Felix might still consider familial affection, so he may hold back, but I am different. The mother and daughter mean nothing to me, so..." She paused, grabbed Melody Zachary’s hand, looking as if to empower her, "For mom’s sake, I can’t guarantee I won’t do something that might hurt the flower of our nation."

"Hmph! Just try it!" Oliver stood up angrily from the sofa and strode off after throwing down those words.

Hearing the door slam with a bang, Melody Zachary instinctively gripped Mia Foster’s hand, "Mia, what if he refuses to sign? I don’t need that 5% of the shares, just as long as he signs..."

Mia gently patted Melody Zachary’s hand, comforting yet firm, "Mom, you deserve those shares from the company. After all your hard work, you shouldn’t walk away with nothing. As for the shares to be transferred to Felix, we can let those go. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he agrees."

"Felix..." Melody Zachary hesitantly turned towards her son, to which Felix likewise comforted, "Mom, let Mia handle everything, don’t worry."

Mia had proven her capability in handling matters, which reassured him about letting her manage the divorce case for his mother.
