Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 89

Lauren's POV

They all stared at me, and I just calmly pulled out one of the empty chairs and sat down. I was sitting on Manuel's left and even though I wasn't at the center, none of them ignored me and they started glancing at Manuel and me curiously. Manuel lowered his voice and said wrathfully, "Lauren, stop being so unreasonable and don't make a scene here."

"Who's the one that is being unreasonable, father?" I said to him indifferently, "I haven't left the Blanco family and the group yet and I have every right to be in the meeting because I'm also a shareholder. Am I wrong?"

Just as Victor predicted, Manuel and Janice chose to ignore my warning and hold this shareholders' meeting They wanted to transfer the shares to Janice and make her the heir. But I would never let them take away what belonged to my mother and me again. "It's okay, father," Janice looked like she finally recovered from her shock and turned to me with a smug look on her face, "Lauren does have the right to participate in this meeting. Father has decided to transfer his shares to me and make me the heir. I'll run the company with all my heart and manage the tribe with Michael. Lauren, you don't need to worry and you can leave now. I'll devote myself to the group and the tribe and they will thrive under my management," Janice held her chin high and looked at me provocatively, "and whenever you're in need of our help, Michael and I will treat you nicely. Father has told us to look after you. After all, the blood running in our veins is very similar."

"You can't wait for this to happen, Janice," I didn't take her threats seriously at all, "too bad that things aren't gonna go your way."

Hearing that, Manuel spoke in a deep voice, "Lauren, I know you have some hard feelings but it's not the right time for you to make a scene. I can't let you be the heir even if it's for the sake of the tribe's future. You don't care about the Blanco family or our tribe anymore. If you wanna stay, I can give you 10% of what you currently own and if you wanna leave, I'll give you the appropriate compensation. Stop being so greedy and don't even think about getting anything else than that." Stop being greedy?

Who exactly was the one that was being greedy?

"Then what about my mother's shares?"

"... Your mother gave them to me," Manuel paused and said firmly, "you don't have a say in the properties and shares that belong to me. Lauren, don't throw away your family and your tribe just because of our personal feud." I once thought Manuel wasn't a good father.

But it turned out that he only wasn't a good father to me. I didn't expect that he would go this far for Janice To Janice, he must be a good dad.

"Making Janice the heir is my decision and you don't have a say in that."

Manuel looked at me and said that to me with a long face. I could tell from his tone that he was warning me right now.

I tried to find a trace of guilt or regret on his face but unfortunately, the way he looked at me was aler and threatening. He didn't see me as his daughter at all and I was nothing but a threat to him.

Janice couldn't help smirking when she heard what Manuel said to me. She raised her chin as she looked at me and pursed her lips, trying to hold back her smile, "Lauren, rest assured. Once I become the heir, I'll take care of you. We're sisters, after all. I won't let you be miserable."

Janice knew how to aggravate me with her words, but I didn't have the time to pay attention to her now. I looked at Manuel and chuckled, "Your properties and shares? Are you sure?"

Manuel frowned, "What are you trying to do, Lauren? Stop this nonsense. Back then, your grandfather only made a verbal commitment about the heir to comfort your mother. Now I, as the one in charge, have to make the best choice for the development of the group and the tribe." "Only a verbal commitment?"

"Yes," Manuel said with a straight face, "If you hadn't done so many absurd things, I would have let you still be the heir."

"That's not just a verbal commitment."

I threw the files I brought onto the desk and stopped Manuel from talking at once.

I pushed the files to Manuel in front of everybody and said coldly, "When grandpa transferred his shares to my mother, he had signed an agreement that I would be the one to handle her shares after I turned 18 and I would be the sole heir of the Blanco Tribe." "The part that she lent to you is actually mine.

And also, the sole heir of the Blanco Tribe can only be mine."

In one instance, everyone in the conference room started gasping.

Manuel and Janice all panicked. Clearly, none of them knew that this file existed.

Manuel couldn't believe what I just said and he didn't care about his manners as alpha at all. He immediately took the file and started checking.

"No, no way..." Janice's face turned pasty. She went to read that agreement in disbelief and stopped pretending anymore. She pointed at me and yelled, "This is forged! How could grandpa sign this agreement?! You must have forged this!"

"Grandpa? Janice, have you even called him grandpa while he was alive?" I mocked her with no mercy.

"That's...that's because I was too young and hadn't even met..."

"That's because grandpa refused to acknowledge you and refused to let Lola and you step foot into the Blanco family."

Janice's face went pale. She bit her lips and her eyes were filled with rage and devastation. She hated my guts right now.

"What about you, alpha Manuel? Do you also think this file is forged?" I turned to look at Manuel who had become grim and asked slowly.

"You hate Janice and it's not impossible..."

I snorted and interrupted his weak explanation, "Then let all the uncles and the elders check this out. It's got the old Mr. Blanco's blood mark on it!"

I snatched the file away from Janice and handed it to the others. Not long after, they nodded, "This...this is indeed the former alpha's blood mark."

That was why I didn't mention this file to Manuel, Janice and Lola and chose to bring it to the meeting. I wanted everyone here to be my witness. Knowing how selfish and cruel Manuel and Susan could be, I knew that if I showed this to them in private, they might do something worse.

Manuel pursed his lips and didn't know what to say anymore. He murmured, "How could he..."

"Because he didn't trust you either," I said wryly and looked at him with no emotions in my eyes, "maybe it's because you're his son, grandpa knew you well enough to sign this agreement. He knew you're selfish and cruel, that one day Lola and Janice will trick you and steal everything away from you and that you don't care about family...no, you don't care about me and my mother at all. The only person you care about is yourself."

"Lauren!" Manuel roared like a desperate beast furiously, "even if you have your mother's shares, I'm still the one in charge!"

Facing his wrath, I smiled at ease, "That's not necessarily true."

The veins on his face were bulging as he gritted his teeth and said, "What else have you done?"

I scrolled my phone and sent a message. The next second, a bunch of men in suits barged in. "Who are they?!"
