Charles Gresham said, “I can give you an extra five percent of Gresham Group stock”
I know how Gresham Group’s shares are divided: Charles Gresham has 45%, Ryan Gresham
has 35%, and their cousin, Andres Gresham, has 20%.
If Charles Gresham gives Ryan Gresham 5% of his shares, they’ll both have 40%, making
them co–equal majority shareholders of the Gresham Group.
This was very appealing to Ryan Gresham.
But Ryan Gresham shook his head, refusing Charles Gresham. He looked at me and said, “I
don’t want shares; I want Eva.”
Charles Gresham immediately replied. “Absolutely not.”
My head was pounding, but I continued to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Ryan Gresham: “Andres Gresham is back; if he can do it, why can’t I?”
Charles Gresham:
Ryan Gresham: “Brother, you wouldn’t want Andres and me to collude and overshadow you
at the Gresham Group, would you?”
Ryan Gresham and Andres Gresham’s shares total 55%. If they colluded, they could indeed
overshadow Charles Gresham.
her.”
Charles Gresham was silent for a long time before lighting a cigarette.
When he finished his cigarette, he stubbed it out and said to Ryan Gresham, “Be gentle with
Humph, men are all the same.
System online: “Please seduce Ryan Gresham so the plot can progress smoothly to the
finale.”
I’m completely limp: “I’m like this, do you think I have the strength to seduce him?”
System: “He can seduce you too, the effect is the same.”
was speechless.
Suddenly weightless, Ryan Gresham carried me upstairs.
It rained all night in the Garden, and two butterflies chased each other playfully in the rain.
The next morning, Ryan Gresham was gone when I woke up.
When I went downstairs, I saw Charles Gresham sitting on the sofa, smoking.
The ashtray was overflowing with cigarette butts. He looked, like he hadn’t slept all night.
With red–rimmed eyes, he apologized to me: TEva, I’m sorry. I’ll give you 5% of the company’s shares as compensation
Five percent of Gresham Group’s shares is conservatively estimated to be worth over a
billion.
He really doesn’t need to feel this guilty.
Even though I was drunk last night, that dream was pretty happy.
“Okay,” I said. “Can’t say no to free stuff.”

He really doesn’t need to feel this guilty.
Even though I was drunk last night, that dream was pretty happy.
“Okay,” I said. “Can’t say no to free stuff.
Charles Gresham pulled me into a hug, trying to placate me. “Baby, you’re not mad at me,
are you?
I feigned anger. 1 am pretty mad. You actually pawned me off on Ryan Gresham! But…! guess I can forgive you for 5% of the shares.”
Charles Gresham kissed me and carried me back inside. “Go get some more sleep. There’s a
Garden party tonight.”
I asked, curious, “What kind of Garden party?”
Charles Gresham said, “My cousin Andres Gresham is back in the country. I’m throwing a
welcome dinner for him tonight.”
I remembered the conversation I overheard between Charles Gresham and Ryan Gresham
last night.
Ryan Gresham had said, “Andres Gresham is back. If he can do it, why can’t I?”
Does Ryan Gresham already know that Andres Gresham was the one who blindfolded me in
the Sky garden that day?
Judging from Charles Gresham’s reaction last night, he probably knows too.
Ugh… I’ve got a bit of a headache.
System online: “You’re going to conquer Andres Gresham sooner or later. Wouldn’t it be easier to conquer him if he conquers you first?”
Me:..
Night fell, and the city lights twinkled.
I saw Andres Gresham in the garden.
The Gresham Family genes are definitely working: Andres Gresham is incredibly handsome, tall and dashing.
According to the original plot, the little gardener and Andres Gresham met as children, so this is supposed to be a long–awaited reunion.

I went to the wine cellar to grab a bottle, and Andres Gresham followed me. “I’ll come too,” he
In the wine cellar, I couldn’t reach the red wine on the top shelf.
Andres Gresham came up behind me, his chest pressed against my back, and reached up to get the red wine for me.
Taking the opportunity, he whispered in my ear, “Eva, things were too rushed in the sky garden the other day. Let’s properly catch up today.”
