If Braylee became the chairman of Goldstone, it would be a misfortune for Goldstone and the employees.

Of course, Braylee had noticed others' gazes. She felt more annoyed. With bloodshot eyes, she roared, "What are you looking at? What do you mean?"

However, everyone ignored her.

So did Amber. She only looked at Bernardo with a sneer. "Unfortunately, Mr. Delgado, your effort will be in vain. If I have inherited the shares from my father, I should give half to Braylee Reed. However, my shares were not completely from my father."

"What did you say?" Bernardo's expression changed dramatically. He stood up instantly. "Didn't you inherit all the shares from Hugo Reed?"

"Of course not." Amber held her arms across her chest, looking at him ironically. "Six years ago, Goldstone was going bankrupt. Dad was pretty anxious, so he exchanged the shares in his hands with the banks and other companies, wishing to gather some funds to let Goldstone pass through the crisis. As long as Goldstone could survive, he could give up being the chairman and become a small shareholder instead. Hence, Dad offered forty percent of the company shares and only kept eleven percent to himself. Finally, he gathered some funds. However, Braylee Reed and her mother stole it away."

Amber slightly turned to look over at Braylee and paused. Her eyes were expressionless. When she looked at Braylee, she seemed to look at a dead thing.

Braylee was startled by her gaze, stiffening.

She felt Amber's gaze was so horrible that Amber must want to kill her.

Braylee had never thought that Amber, who had been bullied by her constantly, could have become so aggressive.

"So, you meant you only inherited eleven percent shares from Hugo Reed?" Bernardo looked at Amber with a vicious face.

Amber smiled. "Right."

"Impossible!" Bernardo was furious, swiping the teacups off the desk.

When the teacups were swiped, the tea sprayed on Braylee's face. She let out a cry in pain, bouncing up.

"What are you doing?" Braylee glared at Bernardo in anger. She stopped calling him Mr. Delgado intimately.

Bernardo wasn't a kind man. He glanced at her fiercely. "Shut up!"

Braylee paled and shushed instantly.

Bernardo was a ruthless man. Besides, he was much older with a strong temperament.

Although Braylee was a wanton, bold woman, she was shocked by him.

Seeing that Braylee quieted down, Bernardo looked over at Amber again with a stern look. "What evidence do you have to prove Hugo Reed had sold forty percent of the shares six years ago?"

"Of course, I have it." Amber looked over at a shareholder nearby. "Uncle Kampwerth has been our shareholder for a long while. He became a shareholder as soon as Goldstone was founded. Hence, he knew many things."

"Yes, Ms. Reed was right." Although Amber addressed the shareholder as Uncle Kampwerth, he didn't address Amber by her first name.

He had distinguished business and privacy well. Hence, he knew how he should address Amber on different occasions.

Looking at Bernardo, he answered, "Six years ago, Mr. Reed firstly came to me and exchanged five percent for four hundred thousand dollars with me. I agreed. I still kept the share trading contract. Besides me, Mr. Lambert also has one."

"Yes, I do." Mr. Lambert nodded and explained, "Besides us, several other shareholders have it. However, they have already sold their shares and left Goldstone. Mr. Delgado, if you want to see those contracts, they should be able to show them to you."

Upon hearing their words, Bernardo couldn't help trembling all over. He was unwilling to believe what Amber said, but he had to now.

Looking at Amber, he said in an icy tone, "Since you've only inherited such a small amount of shares from Hugo Reed, where did the rest forty percent come from?"

Amber smiled and answered, "My grandfather and friends helped me purchase them. My grandfather and the chairman of Lyon Corporation, Cole Lyon, have bought the shares belonging to my father from Uncle Kampwerth and Mr. Lambert. They also bought other shareholders who had sold their shares of Goldstone. Mr. Delgado, that's why I said your effort was in vain. You thought I had inherited all my shares from my father, so you thought you could get half of them from me. In fact, you could only get five-point-five percent."

Even though she needed to give five-point-five percent of the shares to Braylee, Amber would still be the biggest shareholder in Goldstone.

However, the shares in her hand wouldn't let her get the absolute holding. Hence, she couldn't make Bernardo arbitrated.

That was Amber's biggest regret.

However, she didn't mind. As long as she broke the plan of Bernardo and Braylee, Amber could accept the result.

Bernardo clenched his fists tightly, staring daggers at Amber in silence.

Five-point-five percent?

Bernardo wondered why he had spent so much effort to help Braylee fight for little shares.

Beside him, Braylee noticed his expression. Then she looked over at Amber, who had an ironic smile. Thinking about Amber's words, although Braylee was stupid, she finally got what the current situation was. She parted her lips. After a long time, she said to Bernardo, "Mr. Delgado, we can't get half of Amber's shares, can we?"

"Half?" Bernardo's eyes were reddish. He looked as if he wished to swallow Braylee alive.

Inwardly, he blamed Braylee for knowing nothing. She even urged him to help her get into Goldstone and better steal Amber's position.

In the beginning, Bernardo was thrilled about Braylee's appearance. Since she had shown up, Bernardo thought that she could take away partial power from Amber.

However, things didn't go as he had expected. Most of Amber's shares were purchased in recent years. They were not passed down from Hugo Reed. Hence, Bernardo and Braylee couldn't have any reason to ask Amber to give out half of her shares.

It meant his plan with Braylee failed, and it became a joke.

"For real?" Braylee didn't know Bernardo had hated her to the core. She almost went nuts when realizing that she couldn't get half of Amber's shares.

She came back with joy and thought she could grab Goldstone from Amber's hands.

However, the fact told her that she couldn't.

How could she accept it?

Bernardo took a deep breath, ignoring Braylee.

He was afraid that he would strangle her if he failed to suppress his anger.

Opposite Bernardo, Amber watched him collapse on his chair and chuckled. "Mr. Delgado, it seems you've given up on supporting Braylee Reed. In this case, thanks for letting me take the position of chairman."

"Why should you?" Braylee panicked.

Amber sneered. "Because I have a good grandfather, but you don't."

"You..." Braylee still wanted to retort. Bernardo interrupted her with a scowl.

Seeing that she shushed, Bernardo looked over at Amber. "Amber, you can become the chairman, but you must give the five-point-five percent share to Braylee."IIIIIIIII
