Chapter 518: I Want to Buy Back the Shares
"Are you interested in selling your shares of VK externally?"
At this point, Jasper Sinclair hadn’t realized the gravity of the situation. He was laid-back and casual, "Why? Do you want to buy them back?"
He thought Nora Northwood was joking and felt the atmosphere was overly complex.
"Take a look."
Then, Nora Northwood opened a particular interface on her phone and pushed it in front of the man.
After skimming through it, Jasper Sinclair quickly knitted his brows tightly.
"Fifty million will be divided into three batches and deposited into your private account before the end of the year. The shares in your hand will belong to me."
When saying this, Nora Northwood’s heart was beating wildly. Anyone else would have dumped the sake on her by now.
She was sure this man still had feelings for her, which was why she repeatedly challenged his limits.
In reality, Nora Northwood couldn’t stand how she was forcing someone to make decisions like this.
Conflict, resistance, reluctance... various emotions mixed together, making her head feel like it was about to explode.
At this moment, Jasper Sinclair’s gaze had already shifted back from the phone to her, his look was heavy, and his always icy face showed several complex expressions.
"Are you really going to sever ties with me?"
When he asked this, his gaze was direct, yet where no one could see, his fists were clenched tightly, losing the calmness he usually possessed.
Nora Northwood met his gaze.
Moonlight spilled across Jasper Sinclair’s shoulder. He wore a white shirt, seemingly merging with the crescent moon on the horizon, causing a moment of daze.
The air stayed silent for a while as Nora Northwood suppressed her inner panic and nodded.
Outside the window, the rain intensified.
A few bouts of heavy rain swept this city into deep autumn, and it scattered many people and many things over and over again.
This time, Jasper Sinclair didn’t divert the topic as usual. He looked at Nora Northwood for a full three seconds, facing her, filled with endless defeat.
In the business world, he had never felt anything was this difficult.
Between the two of them, they had indeed reached a dead end.
The storm and wind blocked their path, with no chance left to escape the vortex. They had both lost the ability to save themselves.
Jasper Sinclair left the last word of the night: "Alright."
No night had ever been so empty and obscure.
...
When Nora Northwood opened her eyes the next day, her eyes were sore with obvious signs of having cried. Saying goodbye was never easy after being entangled for a year and a half.
No matter how sad she was, she only gave herself one night to recalibrate, enough to regain her composure.
VK had a lot of people waiting for her; she couldn’t slack off.
A day later, she heard from the property management that the tenants next door had moved out, leaving behind an empty apartment.
Without thinking much, she hastily left the villa area and headed alone to VK.
In the office.
Yvonne Winslow found her immediately, "I received a notice from the lawyer first thing this morning. VK’s shares have changed, and now you’re the highest shareholder."
"Got it. Open the corporate directory and check how many employees VK currently has."
When Nora Northwood returned home, she did not lift her eyelids, continuously staring at the display as if the winning lottery numbers were on it.
The person across from her hesitated to speak, eventually choosing to answer her latter question first, "Altogether, from various departments, there are eight hundred and five people."
Hearing this figure, even Yvonne Winslow was momentarily stunned.
The studio moved into this building a mere half-year ago, yet its employee count had surged to a hundredfold increase.
