The Ex-Wife Strikes Back By Queena Laurie

Chapter 14 

“Are you really going to sell me these shares?” 

“Max, do you even need to ask? Come on! Didn’t I make it clear on the phone just now?” 

“Why me? When did you know that I would be interested in these?” 

When Maddox asked these questions, he had let go of his doubts about Aurelia. 

At that moment. he would definitely purchase the shares. 

However, he still wants to know where his disguise fell short and how Aurelia was able to see through it.. 

If she could see through it, could Marcellus and Ricardo also have doubts and suspicions about him in their hearts? 

“Max, I know what you are worried about, but don’t worry. I am the only one who knows your secret. Be it before or after today, unless you think it’s the right time. I won’t mention a word to anyone! As for how I knew your secret, do you think it’s important? Most importantly, you and I are not enemies!” 

“Okay! That’s right! Aurelia, we’re not enemies! I trust you, and I’ll stop asking!” 

A glint of light flashed through Maddox’s eyes, and then he smiled relaxedly. He buttoned the file bag. “I want it. How much do you want for it?” 

“S million dollars!” Aurelia uttered these three words without hesitation. 

Maddox frowned slightly and asked, “Isn’t that too much?” 

“That’s the fixed price!” 

She was still waiting for the 8 million dollars to save Michael. As for Maddox, this 5% of shares would be enough to secure him to become the CEO of Marcellus Corporation in the future without risk. 

She thought, “8 million dollars. Even if it would hurt him for a while, what is it compared with the future? At this moment. he is just a businessman who instinctively wants to reduce the price! I am sure he will purchase it. As expected…” 

After pondering for a few seconds, he nodded decisively. “Okay, you have a deal. 8 million dollars! I’ll ask my attorney to come here right now. If there is no problem, we can sign the agreement immediately!” 

“Of course!” 

Aurelia made a gesture and then wiped her lips with a napkin elegantly. At that moment, she had finished her dinner. 

Maddox’s attorney was in the private room next door. He received a call from Maddox and appeared in Aurelia’s private room within a minute. 

Maddox was being cautious as usual, and Aurelia had expected that. She knew it would be better to have an attorney in the presence of a share transfer agreement, but she still didn’t bring an attorney, as she knew that Maddox would definitely have an attorney with him. 

The attorney nodded silently to Maddox. 

Maddox immediately smiled and took out a rollerball pen, slowly signing his name at the bottom of the document. 

Then, he pushed the share transfer agreement in quadruplicate to Aurelia. 

Aurelia also smiled, but she didn’t hurry to sign it. Instead, she turned around and took out a note with a bank account number from her windbreaker pocket. 

Chapter 14 

Maddox took the account and glanced at it. Then, he looked at Aurelia in surprise. 

He couldn’t help but say, “I always thought I was endurable enough to act, but I didn’t expect you to be better than me! Aurelia, Marcellus married you but failed to fall in love with you and capture your heart. It was really the biggest mistake he made in his life and the Francois family’s greatest loss!” 

That account was an overseas account and was not associated with any domestic banks. Naturally, the owner of that account might not be Aurelia herself. 

In other words, no one in the Swanson family would know that Aurelia sold the shares of Marcellus Corporation. 

As long as he continued to expedite his plan, he could foresee that Marcellus and Ricardo might not have realized how they would lose on the day when he really took over! 

He wanted Marcellus and Ricardo to lose unwillingly! 

If Aurelia hadn’t sat before him, Maddox couldn’t believe that this little woman, only 26 years old, had been prepared and foreseen to such a great extent! 

Maddox couldn’t help but sweat. 

If he were Marcellus, he would not be able to defeat the delicate little woman sitting in front of him. It would be an unpreventable loss. 

However, Aurelia didn’t seem to feel Maddox’s change of expression at all. She smiled innocently and said, “Max, are you praising or satirizing me? Forget it. It doesn’t matter. Anyway, the Francois family made more than just a mistake. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be sitting here today, would you? We’re both in the same boat!” 

As she spoke, she began to sign the document with her head down. 

Seeing that, Maddox immediately glanced at his attorney. 

He had been pretending to be foolish in the Francois family for so many years, but no one noticed him. It could be seen how profound Maddox was. 

However, even a person like him always had one or two trusted confidants. The attorney in front of him was undoubtedly 

his closest aide. 

The attorney could understand what he meant with a glance. 

The attorney then took out a laptop from his briefcase. 

He turned on his laptop, entered his password, and connected to the Internet. He immediately logged in to the system of an overseas bank and keyed in his own overseas bank account. 

Soon, he entered the same overseas bank account Aurelia gave him. In a blink of an eye, a transaction worth 8 million. dollars was successfully transferred. 

At that time, Aurelia had already signed the share transfer agreement and sat opposite them. 

Maddox immediately turned the laptop around to face Aurelia and said. “Aurelia, the money has been transferred. It’s in Atharian dollars. Take a look! Is the sum correct?” 

Aurelia did not try to be polite too. Three minutes later, she nodded with satisfaction and closed the webpage. At the same time, she stood up and took the initiative to stretch out her soft tanned hand, shaking heavily with Maddox’s hand. “Max, looking forward to working with you!”
