Cate was not in a heavy mood when she returned home. However, she did not mention the matter regarding Sheryl to Shaun, mainly because Shaun was very busy recently and facing a great deal of stress. She did not want him to worry about her.
The next day.
Cate called Mireya to Hudson Corporation. “What happened? Why did you call me here all of a sudden?” Mireya dragged a chair over and sat opposite Cate. She bit her lips. ” Is it because of Lyons Corporation? I’ve been going to Lyons Corporation every day recently. My godfather said “It’s alright. I know you and Rodney have done your best. ” Cate interrupted her. Then, she took out a document from the drawer and passed it to Mireya.
Mireya opened it and had a look. It was a contract for Hudson Corporation’s transfer of ownership. ” You’re…”
” I’m handing over Hudson Corporation to you,” Cate said openly.
Mireya was dumbfounded. “What… do you mean?”
“As soon as Lyons Corporation falls, Rosabella will target Hudson Corporation. That is why I must sell Hudson Corporation before that. If I sell it publicly, Rosabella will surely suppress the price or plan a hostile takeover. It’ll be impossible to sell it at a good price, so I’m giving it to you.”
Cate explained patiently, “You’re the only friend by my side whom I can trust. It’s also because you’re Nathan’s goddaughter. If the people behind Rosabella still dare to make a move after I gave Hudson Corporation to you, it’d be equivalent to slapping Nathan’s face in public. They won’t dare.”
Mireya understood it in a daze. However, she still found it shocking. “Sister, do you know Hudson Corporation’s current market value? It’s hundreds of billions of dollars, yet you’re just giving it to me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll seize your company and not give it back to you?”
” If the company would fall into Rosabella’s hands, I’d rather give it to you.” Cate was pretty open- minded. “Moreover, I guess Shaun and I will take the children and leave Australia after some time. I’m really unsure as to when I’ll be back. It’ll have to wait until we’re at least strong enough to go against the top forces in Australia. But who knows how long that’ll take? If I can’t come back, just take it as a gift from me.”
“Enough, stop saying those things. Worse comes to worst, I’ll buy your…”
“Eldest Young Lady Lynch, do you have enough money in your pocket to buy such a huge Hudson Corporation?” Cate found it hilarious. “Let’s just go with the flow. Moreover, if I don’t give it to you today, perhaps the last bit of effort that my mom has left to me will be destroyed. At least if it’s in n your hands, you’ll take care of it properly, right?”
Mireya was filled with distress. “But I don’t know how to manage it.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve informed General Manager Wolfe beforehand. If there’s anything you don’t know, you can contact me anytime. Although I’ve withdrawn in name, I’ll still guide you from behind.”
After that, Cate paused for a moment. An apologetic look flashed in her eyes. “But… Do you want to discuss this with Nathan?”
Mireya gave it some thought and waved her hand. ” Forget it. My godfather… He’s too careful when he does things. If I discuss this with him, he might not agree. You’re my friend, so I must help you with this. You can put the company under my name, but I won’t take your annual dividend. After a few years, when this problem ends, I’ll return the company to you.”
“Mireya, thank you.” Cate was genuinely grateful. “But I can’t just let you shoulder this responsibility for me for nothing. Let’s divide the dividend between us equally. If not, I’ll feel bad. “
“Do you think I’m short of that little amount of money?” Mireya pouted. “How can you and Shaun both start over if you don’t have a source of funds? Stop talking nonsense. If you keep nagging, I won’t agree to help you.”
Cate smiled. Having a friend like this for her whole life was enough. “Okay, then. Put down your signature. However, it’ll be announced to the public that you purchased my company.”
“I know.” Mireya nodded. She took the pen and put down her signature.
That evening, Mireya and Cate did all the necessary procedures. The next day, Cate and Hudson Corporation’s official Facebook account posted a statement. [The company’s shareholder, Miss Cate Cox, has signed a share transfer agreement with a third party and handed in a shareholder change application. From the next day onward, Cate Cox will officially step down from the position of Hudson Corporation’s director, and she will be relieved of all her duties. Currently, the sole shareholder of Hudson Corporation is Miss Mireya Lynch.]
When that news got out, it shocked the netizens.
[F*ck, what on earth happened? Shaun just got investigated, and Cate sold Hudson Corporation?]
[Could it be that Lyons Corporation is facing a cash flow crisis, so Cate has sold her company to save Shaun? She must’ve lost her mind because of love.]
[I think Australia’s business world is silently having a major clean-up.]
[Totally. Lyons Corporation is going down, and Hudson Corporation has been sold. Coincidentally, in t seems like Wesley’s Golden Corporation has signed a huge international order recently, and its share prices are skyrocketing. Is the scene about to change?]
[Did everyone notice this? The new shareholder, Mireya Lynch, is Nathan’s goddaughter. Mireya’s identity is not a simple one. Hudson Corporation will develop better under her leadership, right?]
[Why don’t we buy some of Hudson Corporation’s shares? I think it’ll go up drastically.]
While the netizens were engaged in a heated discussion, some reporters rushed to Hudson Corporation’s building. They happened to see Cate packing her stuff and leaving, looking forlorn.
After the reporters took some pictures, they rushed forward to interview her. “Miss Cox, why did you suddenly sell Hudson Corporation? Is it because there’s a problem with Shaun’s cash flow?”
“Yes, that’s right. I plan to overcome this crisis with him,” Cate said with an affectionate expression on her face.
“But is it worth it to give up a career you’ve painstakingly built for a man?” Even the reporter felt like slapping Cate awake and stopping her from losing her mind because of love.
Cate made a righteous expression. “It’s indeed not worth it to me. But to Australia, I think it’s worth it. Hudson Corporation is nothing more than a real estate company. However, Lyons Corporation is different. Since a few years back, Shaun has invested tens of billions of dollars to develop a microchip that belongs to Australia.
“And now, Shaun has imported advanced electrical appliances from overseas. Some time back, Lyons Corporation even acquired Campos Corporation with the intention to develop more advanced products. This is a good thing that can facilitate the speedy advancement of cutting-edge technology and enable Australia’s technology to have a global ranking. I hope I can help Shaun to overcome this crisis. I do not wish for such a good corporation to fall.”
The reporter’s blood was boiling with passion from hearing Cate’s words. “But as far as I know, the investigation of the related departments said Lyons Corporation’s products are substandard…”
“I don’t understand why it turned out like that too. We tested the product before during the press conference, and everything was quite good.”
Cate said with a helpless expression, “Of course, if there’s really a problem somewhere, Lyons Corporation will fully cooperate with the investigation and rectify the problem to improve Lyons Corporation. I hope everyone can give Lyons Corporation a chance instead of tarring it with the same brush. That will make companies specializing in research and development disappointed.”
“You’re right. I hope Lyons Corporation can overcome this hardship.”
After the video of Cate’s interview was uploaded to the internet, it garnered the heated discussion of the whole of Australia again. Most of the netizens who suspected Lyons Corporation at first even began to side with Lyons Corporation.
[I believe what Cate said. She’s a tough and rational woman. She would never sell off her company just for the sake of a man. She’s not that silly.]
[Actually, what Cate said is right. Lyons Corporation has invested a lot of money to develop products with advanced technology these years. It’s evident that Shaun wants Australia to have our own cutting- edge technology.]
[I don’t understand why there’s a need to investigate Lyons Corporation all of a sudden. Campos Corporation wasn’t investigated previously. Did Shaun offend somebody?]
[Lyons Corporation was investigated just after they launched their new products. It’s evident that some people don’t want Lyons Corporation to rise.]
[But with Shaun’s status, no one should be able to oppress them openly. Unless it’s the people on the very top…]
[I heard the Lyons family and the Snow family’s relationship is quite good…]
Lyons Corporation.
Shaun was in a meeting.
A few shareholders in the meeting room were fighting endlessly regarding Lyons Corporation’s future.
“It can only drop for one more week at most. The company is about to apply to be delisted. If you ask me, it’s better to sell it off early.”
“The problem isn’t about selling it off. If we don’t pay the huge amount of compensation for the breach of contract, we’ll be taken into custody.”
“President Lyons.” The meeting room’s door rapped, and Hadley entered in a hurry. “The share prices have rebounded.”
Upon hearing that, all the shareholders took out their phones and were very surprised. Lyons Corporation’s shares had already reached the limit down when the share market opened today. Hence, they did not expect the share prices to rebound and increase.
“What… What’s happening?” A shareholder was so emotional that he almost cried.
“I think it’s related to Miss Cox.” Hadley said with a smile, “Everyone, please take a look at the headlines of today’s news.”
Not only the shareholders, but even Shaun took out his phone too. When he saw Cate’s interview, a sense of pride welled in his heart.
Cate did not tell him about this beforehand, so he had no clue at all.
However, no one understood Cate’s thoughts better than Shaun.
His woman… was too clever.
“President Lyons, did Miss Cox really sell Hudson Corporation to support Lyons Corporation?” Director Owens, who was the most experienced shareholder, asked emotionally.
Shaun looked toward him. A low chuckle rang from his throat. “Director Owens, will you let your wife sell off her company to support Lyons Corporation in overcoming this crisis?”
Director Owens was stunned.
“You won’t. None of us would. ” Shaun stood up. ” We’re all selfish because we still have children, and we can’t possibly bet everything on Lyons Corporation. Hence, don’t expect Cate to give the money she has earned from selling her company as funds for Lyons Corporation. Even if she agrees, I won’t. After all, the company isn’t mine alone.”
The directors exchanged glances. No one said a word. After all, Shaun had a point there.
Shaun glanced at everyone and skillfully changed the subject. “But the public thinks that Cate is really giving the money to Lyons Corporation, so they’re having more confidence in Lyons Corporation. This is the reason the share prices rebounded. It’ll allow us to have a moment of recovery too.”
“Miss Cox is really smart.” Director Owens praised, “Young Master Lyons, you have a good eye.”
That flattery improved Shaun’s mood. He was not even that happy when other people complimented him. “Have everyone seen the comments on the internet? Cate’s interview made the common audience reverse their opinions of Lyons Corporation. There are even lesser mentions that our company’s products are problematic. Most of it is conspiracy theories that we’re being oppressed.”
“You’re right, President Lyons.” The directors nodded. They were a little enraged too. “However, our products didn’t have a problem from the start. It’s the higher-ups who are nitpicking at us.”
