Chapter 501
Trading My Ex for His Uncle
Damonâs offer of ten times the market value was too tempting for the shareholders. They didnât know when Prospectus Technologyâs stock price would ever see such a surge.
With this realization, several shareholders quickly decided to sell their shares.
Damonâs expression remained unchanged as he instructed Spencer to tally up the shareholders wishing to sell. He immediately had the lawyers draft the transfer agreements.
Soon, the shareholders signed the share transfer agreements and received their payments.
Seeing the large sums in their bank accounts, many left with gleaming eyes, clearly thrilled.
The remaining shareholders, witnessing this, began to waver as well.
Damon glanced at the remaining shareholders and said, âIf anyone else wants to sell their shares, now is the time. After today, this offer wonât be available.â
Hearing this, a few more shareholders chose to sell their shares.
As he watched them leave, delighted by the bank transfer notifications they received, Spencer couldnât help but shake his head.
What they didnât know was that a new chronic disease drug, secretly developed by Damonâs research team, had just completed clinical trials and would be launched soon.
With hundreds of millions of patients in the country, Prospectus Technologyâs stock price was bound to skyrocket once the drug hit the market.
The excitement they felt now would soon turn to regret when they saw the stockâs future gains.
Moreover, the Preston Group and Prospectus Technology were already competitors.
Damon had previously tolerated the Preston Groupâs actions that harmed Prospectus Technologyâs interests due to his relationship with Nathaniel. Now that Nathaniel was opposing him, taking down the Pre Seeing no more shareholders stepping forward to sell, Damon coldly announced, âSince no one else wants to sell their shares, the meeting is dismissed!â
With that, he didnât spare another glance at the shareholders and left the room.
Once Spencer left as well, the tense atmosphere in the conference room eased slightly.
Some shareholders couldnât hold back their complaints.
âMr. Sumner is being too reckless. Although he founded Prospectus Technology, we shareholders have contributed significantly as well. Especially you, Mr. Warner. We may not hold many shares, but Mr. Sumner hasnât even informed
this?!
Everyone knew that Hectorâs wife was a member of the Preston family. Damonâs actions against the Preston Group were essentially a humiliation for Hector Hectorâs expression darkened as he replied coldly, âWhy didnât you speak up when Mr. Sumner was here?
If you donât want to stay at Prospectus Technology, feel free to sell your shares. Itâs better to keep such divisive talk to a minimum.â
With that, Hector stood up and departed, leaving a group of stunned shareholders in his wake.
Back in Damonâs officeâ¦
Damon was about to review some documents when Spencer knocked and entered.
âMr. Sumner, since Ms. Jaystonâs disappearance, you havenât had a proper rest. After the new drug launches, you should consider taking some time off,â Spencer suggested.
A few days earlier, Damon had been hospitalized for a stomach bleed. The doctor had warned him that if he didnât take better care of himself and rest, his health would deteriorate further.
Moreover, Damon had visibly lost weight over the past month. His suits now looked oversized, and even the designers had privately asked Spencer if Damon was ill.
Damon looked up at Spencer and said firmly, âIâll handle my own schedule. You can go back to work now.â
