Chapter 1026 Shareholders
Phoebe’s voice was coy, and she wasn’t afraid of being overheard.
“Boyfriend? How could I have a boyfriend? Brent, who are you hearing rumors from again? He’s pursuing me, but I didn’t say yes. I have you, Brent. I don’t want anyone else.”
As the sound of the door closing echoed, their conversation grew softer.
Kristina lay in bed with her eyes wide open, lost in thought.
Just like that, dawn broke.
Halfway up the mountain, at Quinnell Villa, Liam had prepared an exceptionally lavish breakfast to win over Albert.
Declan even made sure Jolene sat next to Albert. He needed to calmly observe these two to see if there was still affection or if there were problems.
Declan hadn’t slept well last night as he was constantly pondering this matter.
It was only when Liam came to report this morning that he learned about Fabian’s social media post.
Now, not only Albert was at the dining table. There were also several shareholders, seemingly gathered together to play chess with Declan.
Declan couldn’t leave them standing, so they all took their seats.
Only Albert seemed unaware of what was going on. “Great–uncle, what’s…”
“Check out what Fabian posted, and give him some comfort.” Declan patted Albert’s shoulder. “You know Fabian’s temper. He’s really stubborn. When he’s angry, he must vent it.
“I’m afraid the entire company knows about this now. Consider if we need to minimize the impact.
“You’ve just returned from overseas to take over the business here. I’m concerned some partners might view the Quinnell family unfavorably due to this, and it’ll affect you.
“Fabian is already so old. Why does he still flare up like this? He really doesn’t care about his body.”
Declan’s words made him seem like he was concerned but were indirectly telling Albert that all these problems were caused by Fabian and Wynter, so he had to clean up this mess.
Upon hearing that, Albert tightened his grip on the coffee cup, but he didn’t show any emotions on his face. “Don’t worry, Great–uncle. The impact is minimal.”
Wynter had said he wouldn’t have to endure after today. He didn’t mind this particular morning.
It had to be said that Wynter’s methods were effective enough. Declan couldn’t restrain himself from speaking out.
Albert’s gaze fell on the figures of those still sipping coffee.

2/2
If it weren’t for this incident, he would never have imagined that these few would have any issues.
It wasn’t because he thought they had any morals, but because after being abroad for so long, he felt for the first time that the Quinnell family’s growth was excessively rapid and expansive.
Some of the funds pouring in might not even be fully disclosed. It was like these people in front of him, whom he had only heard about but never met. He had no idea when they had invested.
Albert was sharp, immediately spotting the issue here.
He also knew that, to expand capital, relying solely on that worthless Shane wasn’t enough. There needed to be someone backing them up.
Having them invest in the Quinnell family this way might not necessarily be a good thing. Albert sensed that these individuals simply wanted a stake in the Quinnell family.
Declan guided him in talking with these individuals.
Albert, you probably forgot. This is Mr. McGee. You met him when you were young. Over there is Mr. Tenton. And over there is Mr. Winston Senior’s nephew.”
Ibert smiled superficially, but his hand hanging at his side tightened, and his chest felt constricted.
e hadn’t realized before that these seemingly insignificant families had such great ambitions. Each one eemed like a bright–eyed jackal, sniffing out opportunities.
