Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1637

Debra's heart sank.

Back when she'd teamed up with Michael, she had nothing, offering him Frazier Entertainment shares to seal the deal. Later, Frazier Entertainment merged into the McKinney Group, and she handed it off to him.

To keep her identity hidden, she'd tossed him more shares. With Frazier Entertainment, he'd racked up 30%.

She'd thought he deserved it. For two years, he'd run the show plenty. She'd never seen this coming.

"Madam, you there?" Ben's voice shook.

This was huge and should stay quiet. Otherwise, the company would fall into chaos.

Debra's blood ran cold. She hadn't expected Michael to go so far.

"I'll be there soon," she said, hanging up.

She turned to Marion. "Michael scooped up loose shares. He's gunning for a vote as top shareholder."

Over 40% wasn't half, but it made him the biggest player. Calling a vote was his right.

Debra only had 40%. If 10% of the rest sided with Michael, he could oust her.

"Don't sweat it," Marion said. "We'll hit it together."

Back when she'd kicked off the company, Marion was the only other shareholder. After Frazier Entertainment merged with the McKinney Group, shares were reshuffled.

Marion handed his back to her. She owned 40%, while Michael had 30%. The rest was distributed among other shareholders.

Some held less than 2%, but the McKinney Group shares were gold.

Now, with a takeover brewing, every shareholder showed.

Some were Frazier Entertainment vets, loyal to her, but there were also corporate sharks, who would jump at a chance to ditch her.

A stranger stepped up. "Mrs. Houston, I'm Jason, Michael's assistant."
