Chapter 385 What Does a Child Need Billions of Dollars for? When things were calm, everything was peaceful. But once principles were involved, conflicts erupted.
Liam said, "We've got everything at the old house except kids' toys. But what I want to give Lucy isn't something you can buy." "Can't buy?" Penelope was puzzled. What was Liam going to give Lucy? "I've always dreamed of having a great-grandchild. Today, that dream's ctrue! The Davis family has an heiress, and I'm thrilled!" "Mr. Davis," Penelope said after a moment, "Lucy is my and Kelvin's child, but that doesn't mean she'll be the Davis family heir." Liam's smile faded.
"I want Lucy to have a free and happy life. If she chooses to inherit the Davis Group, I'll support her. But I don't want her groomed as an heiress from a young age." "Mr. Davis, Lucy will be your great-granddaughter. You can visit her anytime. But there are sthings I need to make clear." "Also, Lucy takes my last name. She's Lucy Cooper, not Lucy Davis." In wealthy families, lineage and surnames were a big deal. A Davis descendant not bearing the Davis nwould be a joke.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLiam looked at her. "Yes, you gave birth to Lucy and raised her alone. I get it. Penelope, I don't care whose last nLucy takes." Penelope was surprised. "You don't care that Lucy's last nis Cooper?" "Yes. I've cto terms with it. I'm not a stubborn old man. As long as the family is united, I don't care about trivial things." Penelope didn't know how to respond.
"Anyway, Lucy is a Davis descendant. That's a fact, and that's enough," Liam said, smiling. "And the gift I prepared is a share transfer agreement." Penelope was even more surprised.
"This is for Lucy. It's what she deserves. After I pass away, someone has to inherit my assets, right? That person will be Lucy." Liam gently stroked Lucy's hair. "A girl is great. If she wants to manage the company, she can. If not, she can find a good husband to help. In LA, who would dare to bully the Davis family princess?" Penelope said, "Mr. Davis, let's hold off on the shares for now. Lucy is too young." "She's young, but I'm old. Better to give it to her early for peace of mind." At that moment, Kelvin, who had been silent, handed over a document.
Penelope looked at it. It was a share transfer contract.
She looked at Kelvin in surprise. "What does this mean?" "This is a contract to transfer my shares to Lucy," Kelvin said. "I had Ryan prepare it a few days ago, and it just arrived today. Perfect timing to give it to you now." "Your shares?" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! "Yes. Grandpa's are his, and my shares are mine. There's no conflict." The largest shareholder of the Davis Group was Liam, followed by Kelvin.
Together, they held ninety-five percent of the shares.
If Liam and Kelvin transferred their shares to Lucy, she'd becthe largest shareholder of the Davis Group-a three-year-old owning a publicly traded company! Lucy, clueless, flipped through the share transfer agreement like it was a picture book. Penelope felt stuck. "Kelvin, can you stop causing trouble? Mr. Davis wants to give it to Lucy, and now you too. What does a little child need with billions?" "This is what my daughter deserves." "That should be discussed when she's an adult!" Kelvin looked at her. "Then transfer it to your nfirst. When Lucy grows up, you can give it to her." Penelope was speechless. He made it sound so simple, but these were shares worth billions! She didn't want these shares; they felt like a burden.
"Transfer to Penelope..." Liam said, "That's not necessary." A granddaughter-in-law was an outsider, but a great-granddaughter was family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGiving it to Lucy was fine, but giving it to Penelope required careful thought. What if she remarried and took the shares with her?
"Yes, don't give them to me. I won't take them," Penelope said. "Mr. Davis, Kelvin, if you really want to help Lucy, spend more twith her. Give her love and confidence. That's more important than anything!" Liam thought for a few minutes. "How about this: I'll transfer my shares to Lucy first. We'll discuss Kelvin's later. How about that?" Kelvin agreed.
Penelope didn't argue; her words wouldn't change anything.
Lucy was cherished by the Davis family. If they knew about Sam, he'd definitely be groomed as an heir! After Liam left, Penelope handed the share transfer agreement back to Kelvin. "Put it away."
He didn't take it. Kelvin genuinely wanted to give all his shares to Penelope. It would be her lifelong security and sus support. With these shares, she'd command respect and becthe richest woman in the country! He could give her everything, including his life. So, what were shares?
Kelvin also had his own motives. If Penelope accepted the shares, she'd beca Davis Group shareholder. she'd have to attend meetings and major events, keeping her tied to LA. Even if Lucy's illness was cured and Penelope wanted to leave, she'd have to cback. Kelvin wanted to use the shares to keep her close. If he couldn't have her, at least he could see her from tto time.
"Penelope," Kelvin said softly, "accept it."
