Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 151 Twisted Dynamic

On the way back to the conference room, Darya kept her eyes downcast to avoid the curious looks from the shareholders.

She was unaware of the faint smile gracing Micah's lips.

Once inside, Micah carefully settled Darya into a chair beside him.

Before anyone could fully process what had just transpired, the shareholders' meeting commenced.

Harrison took his seat, panicking upon witnessing Micah's affectionate actions toward Darya.

He had assumed that the two were sworn enemies, which gave him the confidence to wrestle back control of the company.

But now it seemed that Micah still had feelings for her.

The outcome of the meeting suddenly became uncertain-would Micah actually give his shares to Darya?

As the meeting progressed and the results from the shareholders' votes were announced one by one, Darya reclined in her chair with a smile.

She already knew the outcome, and her eyes sparkled with confidence.

Meanwhile, Amelia, oblivious to the gravity of the situation, remained haughty, convinced that Darya would inevitably lose.

But in the end, it was Amelia who received a resounding slap in the face.

ים

hereby declare that the largest shareholder of Starlight is Miss Darya McAllister,' the board of directors' vice-chairman announced. 'Moving forward, Starlight will become one of the subsidiary companies under the Paragon Group.'

The words reverberated through the room like a thunderous storm, shaking Harrison and Amelia to their core.

Starlight, the beloved company they had fought so hard for, had been snatched away by none other than Darya.

All their efforts, their tireless lobbying, had been in vain.

'What the hell? This can't be real! Darya, you're pulling some shady shit!' Amelia's voice quivered with anger and frustration as she shot up from her seat, pointing an accusatory finger at Darya.

But before Darya could respond, Micah's voice cut through the tension, cold and decisive. 'I've handed over ten per cent of my shares to Darya.'

The room erupted in chaos.

Chapter 151 Twisted Dynamic

No one could fathom the twisted dynamic between Micah and his ex-wife

How could he just give away such a significant portion of his shares?

The perplexing puzzle of their relationship seemed to have no logical explanation.

A mischievous smile played upon Darya's lips as she witnessed the drastic change in Amelia's expression.

Her heart swelled with a twisted sense of satisfaction.

In just a matter of minutes, the once-arrogant Amelia had transformed into a defeated, wilted flower.

This turn of events was beyond thrilling

Amelia would undoubtedly face a downfall from which she couldn't recover, banished from the very industry

she held so dear.

And as for Harrison, he would surely make sure his daughter paid for her arrogance.

It was all thanks to Amelia's machinations that Darya had even considered acquiring Starlight.

With the meeting adjourned, the shareholders and directors dispersed, leaving Darya seated alone in the room.

She reached for her phone and dialled Glen Chasey's number.

'I'll arrange for your transportation,' Micah offered, glancing at Darya's injured ankle.

'No need to trouble yourself anymore. I'll have Glen come pick me up,' Darya replied, causing a flicker of confusion to cross Micah's face.noveldrama

Did this mean Glen would be the one carrying Darya instead?

Soon enough, Glen Chasey rushed into the meeting room, only to be met with a frosty glare from Micah.

His scalp prickled with unease.

Gathering his courage, he approached her and asked, 'Boss, what happened? Are you all right?'

'Where have you been?'

'I stayed in the car, taking a conference call from one of our overseas subsidiaries. Are you hurt?'

'I was pushed by Amelia and sprained my ankle. Give me a hand. We need to go

to the hospital,' Darya said.

Yet Glen Chasey found himself frozen in place, unable to move under Micah's intense gaze.

How could he dare to make a move?

If Micah turned his fury toward him, it would be game over.

Darya noticed Glen's hesitation and realised his fear of Micah.

'What are you so scared of?' she said. 'You work for me, not him.'

'Let me take you downstairs,' Micah interjected, unwilling to wait any longer.

He hoisted Darya from her chair, defying her resistance, and carried her out of the conference room, with Glen trailing behind sheepishly.

As they reached the parking lot, Micah gently placed Darya into the car, turning to

Glen with a command, 'Take her to the hospital for a check-up.'

Darya's expression turned cold, an unexplained sense of unhappiness clouding her heart.

Glen was one of her employees, so why did Micah act as though he was the boss?

Besides, what did her ankle injury have to do with him?

Wisely, Glen said nothing and just started the car.

Micah wanted to go with them, but his phone rang, interrupting his intentions.

It was Felicia.

'What?' Micah answered, his voice tinged with impatience.

'Dad wants you back home as soon as possible,' Felicia said.

'Understood.' Micah ended the call abruptly, so his sister didn't get the chance to warn him.

Morton was livid upon learning of Micah's relinquishment of all Starlight shares to Darya.

He paced in the study, eager for his son to return.

Micah arrived swiftly at the entrance of the Cavanaughs' opulent mansion.

The butler approached him with a sombre expression. 'Young Master, Master awaits you in the study.'

Micah nodded and made his way to the study upstairs.

Just as he pushed the door open, a teacup hurtled towards him. Micah swiftly sidestepped, narrowly avoiding getting hit in the forehead. The cup crashed to the ground, shattering into countless fragments. Morton's face contorted with anger as he unleashed his fury upon Micah. 'How dare you show up here?' he roared, his gaze piercing and filled with resentment.

Micah furrowed his brow, trying to comprehend Morton's outburst.

'What's the matter?' he asked, his voice laced with concern. 'You are the one who asked me to come back.'

'Darya wants to take revenge on Amelia, and you're just handing her the shares of Starlight?'

'She paid me a fair market price,' Micah said.

'That's not the point!' Morton roared. 'Can't you take this opportunity to talk to her,

now that the McAllisters are targeting us?'

His father's reaction caught Micah off guard.

Morton had always held Micah in high regard, recognising his competence and

insight in dealing with business

matters.

But this time, Micah let him down.
