She turned her head away, blinking quickly as a tear slipped down and dampened her lashes. No one had ever

spoken about loving her so openly and honestly.

“Don’t shed those tears, sweetheart,” Lucien murmured softly.

His dry yet cool fingertips tenderly brushed away the unshed tears glistening in Kaia’s eyes. Then, he slowly

leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her eyelids.

“Something about those tears makeswant to kiss them away,” he whispered against her skin.

Kaia rolled her eyes, though a smile tugged at her lips. Who was he kidding? He never needed an excuse to kiss

her anyway.

“Allen, you transferred 5% of your shares to Kaia?” Joanne shrieked, her voice laced with disbelief.

Allen raised his eyebrows. “What? Do | need your say-so to decide who gets my shares?”

Joanne quickly backtracked. “No, no! | didn’t mean you need my approval. It’s just...”

She stamped her foot in frustration. “It seems a bit hasty, you

know?”

Her husband, Zane, had been slaving away for the company as the eldest son, but he only held 15% of the

shares. And their son, Alden, Allen’s grandson, didn’t have a single share to his name.

Sure, Alden was running a subsidiary of the Graves Group, but a subsidiary was nothing compared to the main

company.

Joanne was fuming, her face turning grim.

“Oh con, Aunt Joanne, what's the rush?” Alyssa chimed in with a mischievous pout. “Grandpa’s already got

everything planned—Uncle Lucien’s getting married. He can’t be stingy with the wedding gift, can he?”

“Then why doesn’t he just give away his own shares?” Joanne blurted out, finally voicing what she'd been

holding back.

Allen’s eyes turned frosty. He looked over at Zane, who'd been keeping quiet all this time. “Zane, do you feel the

sway?”

Zane tightened his grip on his knee and then let go with a sigh. “Dad, | don’t.”

He then shot a stern look at his wife. “Honey, Lucien’s the heir. Dad made it clear that two-thirds of the

company’s shares have to be in his name. It’s non-negotiable. And | supported his decision back then.”

Zane felt a bitter taste in his mouth. What else could he do? It was not like Allen would change his mind if he

objected.

“Good,” Allen said.

Then he turned to Alden, who was staring at his shoes, lost in thought. “Alden, are you not happy being the boss

of the subsidiary?”

Alden was silent for a moment, then shook his head. “Grandpa, I'm okay with it.”

“Alright, then. If there's nothing else, go do your own things.”

Allen didn’t even bother with Joanne’s objections.

Before leaving, he turned to Alyssa. “Alyssa, look out for Kaia. She's your friend and family, after all.”

“Sure thing, Grandpa! I'll make sure to take good care of her,” Alyssa replied with a smug smile.

Seeing Alden and Luna’s annoyed expressions made her day.

Alyssa said, feigning innocence, “Hey, Luna, did you see that seaside proposal at the music festival the other

day? Uncle Lucien is such a romantic. Oh, right, Luna, what kind of proposal did Alden plan for you?”

Proposal?

Luna let out an inward sigh. To be honest, she'd practically strong-armed Alden into this wedding.

There was no grand proposal, no nothing.

Her heart ached with bitterness.

On the other side, her bestie, Kimberly, was also seething with

anger.

“Dad, why did Mr. Stone tell| don’t have to cto work anymore today?”

Kimberly had always held a cushy position in her father’s company. She’d just lounge around, soaking up the

flattery from the employees and raking in a hefty salary without doing any real work. It was like extra pocket

money for her.

But then, that clueless HR director, Ethan Stone, had the nerve

to call her into his office and tell her she was fired!

She was the daughter of the president of Domley Tech. There was no way she could be sacked!

Tobias was just as confused. He picked up the phone and dialed the internal line. “Get Ethan on the phone!”

“Sir, one of our major shareholders is here. Mr. Stone is currently meeting with her.”

Tobias’s stomach tightened. “Which shareholder?” he asked, already dreading the answer.

Sure enough, the next second, he heard the nhe dreaded. “It’s your daughter, Kaia.”

Tobias hung up the phone with a scowl on his face.

“Dad, what's going on? Don’t you have the final say in this company?”

Tobias was at a loss for words.

Of course, he had the final say.

But Kaia held more shares than he did, so what she said also

counted.

It was just that he didn’t want to tell Kimberly the truth.

Otherwise, she’d surely throw a tantrum right here in the

company!

He didn’t dare to offend his eldest daughter, nor did he want to be too harsh on his youngest.

“Con, go home! This is the company, and I've got an important client to meet later!”

With a few words, Tobias managed to send Kimberly away.
