Renee was sitting on a leather chair in the chairman's office. She had a powerful aura and a composed expression. She looked at Laura, who was sitting across from her, and got straight to the point. "You waited for me for so many days here, so what is it you want?"
"Isn't it obvious? I want my shares back," Laura scoffed bluntly.
Renee shrugged. "I'm fine with it. I'll transfer your shares back to you..."
"No, you don't understand." Laura adjusted her glasses slightly, her gaze cunning. "Both you and I know what a bad situation Azure Group is in. I don't want shares - I want you to convert my shares into cash for me."
Renee smirked and sipped her coffee before saying, "Miss Osborne, your thought process is rather amusing. I really don't understand… What kind of bad situation is Azure Group in? Why do you want to get cash and run away?"
"What do you think?" Laura said disdainfully, "It's still acceptable if Azure Group suffered losses all year round, but you persisted in building research and production centers. It'll only burden Azure Group… What's more, you even offended Stefan, the president of H Group. How are you going to survive? Even my idiot brother knew he should run away!"
Renee didn't get angry, she just nodded and said, "You're right. It's an unavoidable problem for Azure Group."
Laura smirked as she said, "I heard that you got a sum of money and helped my dumb brother repay all the debt he owed the bank. It seems you’re capable, so you should be able to give me my money too. Clearly, you can get billions, so it'll be very easy to get such a small amount of money for me."
"You can curse me for being shameless, but I'm out of options. My father values his son more than his daughters. He has already let my brother lead the Osborne family. I don't have any say in Osborne Group, so I can only come to you to ask for compensation. After all, you're the reason this happened!" Laura snarled furiously. She had to fight for this, or else she would have nothing.
After a brief pause, Renee sighed and said rather helplessly, "You're right - it is because of me. You're more or less innocent in all this, so I'll give you two options..."
"Two options?"
"The first option is to stay in Azure Group. I promise to give you not less than 21% of the shares and a year-end bonus. The second choice is I'll pay you 520 million, but you must sign a formal contract to give up the shares on your own willingly. Then, you'll have nothing to do with Azure Group if it rises or falls in the future."
