Stronger Every Time I Die

Chapter 164 A ruthless acquire

Rosie quickly added, "That’s right, Arthur! Do it for Grandpa. You can’t just stand by and watch the company collapse!" The mention of his grandfather ignited a fury in Arthur. With a loud bang, he slammed his hand on the desk. "You dare bring up Grandpa! If he knew the things you’ve done, do you think he would still let you stay in the Gray family!" His outburst sent shivers through the room. The image of their grandfather’s stern face flashed through their minds, making them instinctively shrink back. But they had no choice, they had to focus on saving the company. Raelynn, eyes brimming with tears, pleaded, "Arthur, it was my fault. I failed you as a mother. If you must blame someone, blame me! But Gray Corporation is the result of generations of effort. It can’t just be destroyed!" "You may have severed ties with us, but you still have Gray blood in your veins. That’s an unchangeable fact! Can you truly watch the family’s legacy fall?" Julie seized the moment and added, "Yes, Arthur, I know you’re angry, but you can’t take out that anger on the company!" She hesitated for a moment before desperately offering, "If you agree to save the company, I promise I’ll never bother you again!" Her voice was so sincere, she might as well have sworn an oath. Right now, she had no other request, just that Arthur spare Gray Corporation, that he not let their family’s lifework be ruined in their hands. Susie quickly chimed in, "You’re surname Gray too! Can you really stand by and let Gray Corporation fall into someone else’s hands!" Arthur let out a cold chuckle. Seeing them so desperate, so humbled, he felt not even the slightest sympathy. Calmly, he said, "I never planned on letting Gray Corporation fall into someone else’s hands." "What!" Astonishment flickered in their eyes, quickly replaced by hope. Raelynn hesitated, her voice trembling, "Arthur, you mean you’re willing to save Gray Corporation?" Julie nearly burst into tears of joy. "I knew it! I knew you wouldn’t just sit back and watch us suffer!"She had lived in luxury all her life, never knowing what it felt like to worry about money. These past few days, drowning in financial stress, had been unbearable. She had even resorted to selling her jewellery to raise money. Raelynn’s guilt deepened. After all they had done to Arthur, he was still willing to help them. Rosie and Susie finally let out a sigh of relief. They had been powerless to help the company, but debt collectors had already come knocking at their door. They, too, had sold off their jewellery to gather funds. If Arthur refused to help, they had no idea how they would survive the coming days. "Arthur…" Susie hesitated before speaking. "I was wrong before. I was blind to Zac’s lies. I won’t make that mistake again!" Susie face was full of sincerity. Rosie quickly followed, repeatedly apologizing and thanking him. Arthur suddenly cut them off. "Who said I was helping you?" They froze. The joy on their faces instantly disappeared, replaced by confusion. "Arthur, what do you mean?" Raelynn asked cautiously. Had he change his mind? Arthur remained completely indifferent. "When did I ever say I was saving you? I simply said I wouldn’t let Gray Corporation fall into someone else’s hands." Julie’s heart sank. She immediately sensed something was off. A terrifying realization crept into her mind. "Arthur, you…" The others were still too stunned to understand. Arthur didn’t keep them in suspense. "I’ve already arranged for the acquisition of Gray Corporation’s shares. Before long, I will be the new chairman of the Gray Corporation." Arthur tone was calm, as if he were merely discussing the weather. But to them, it was like a bolt of lightning! They stared at him in shock, unable to believe what they had just heard! "Arthur! Are you insane!! You’re trying to acquire Gray Corporation!" Susie shrieked in disbelief. "Arthur! This isn’t a joke!" Rosie’s face turned serious. "Arthur, tell me you’re not serious!" Julie’s voice wavered. This was all too surreal. Finding out that Arthur was the chairman of Cloudia Corporation had been shocking enough. But now, he wanted to acquire Gray Corporation! To become its owner! As the others stood frozen in disbelief, Raelynn, for the first time, showed an unexpected calmness. She lowered her gaze, unreadable emotions flickering in her eyes.
