Arthur gave a firm response, and only then did Stanley feel satisfied. Without hesitation, he reported the main issue. "John has been discharged from the hospital. He's in the process of transferring all his shares to Zac, but Zac's body hasn't fully recovered, his hands are still immobilized. This process might take some time." After a brief pause, Stanley asked, "Should we apply more pressure on them?" Arthur contemplated for a moment before replying, "No need. If necessary, we can even assist him in transferring the shares to Zac's name." Stanley was taken aback. "Why would we help him? If the shares are transferred to Zac, acquiring them will only become more difficult for us." His question echoed exactly what Ashley had been wondering. She was well aware that Arthur intended to acquire Gray Corporation, yet up until now, he had barely made a move. Arthur chuckled. "Zac won't be able to hold onto those shares. The moment they're in his hands, he'll be desperate to sell them off. When that happens, we'll obstruct the sale, exert pressure on his company, and force him into a corner, making him act recklessly." Stanley was confused. "Mr. Gray, aren't we trying to take over Gray Corporation? Wouldn't it be simpler to just purchase the shares directly from Zac?" Ashley also asked, "Why would we prevent him from selling?" Arthur gazed into the distance, his expression unreadable. "After the way Zac treated me, wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't return the favor properly?" Two years ago, after his rebirth, Zac had hired people to torment him. Arthur had reported it to the police. But at the time, Zac was under sixteen, and with John and Raelynn's interference, he had walked away unscathed. Afterward, Arthur lacked the power to press charges. Heh, just breaking his hands and feet isn't enough. I want Zac to dig his own grave, to throw himself into prison. To know exactly what it feels like to be mercilessly tormented, year after year.Unbeknownst to him, a dark, menacing aura emanated from his body. The sight of it sent a chill down Ashley's spine. Instinctively, she grasped Arthur's hand and called out softly, "Arthur?" Arthur snapped out of his thoughts. He smiled at Ashley. "Don't worry. I know exactly what I'm doing." Seeing that he wasn't willing to say more, Ashley didn't press him further. She simply tightened her grip on his hand, offering the warmth he needed. Arthur never considered himself a good person. If someone treated him well, he would repay them a hundredfold. If someone wronged him, he would exact vengeance a thousand times over. ... Meanwhile, at the same secluded garden at the hospital. Ever since John's official divorce from Raelynn, Renee had been appearing at the hospital openly. It was a convenient excuse, to care for Zac, and to cultivate her relationship with John. The garden was usually deserted. Sitting on a bench, Renee nestled against John's chest. She brushed against him ever so lightly, igniting his desire with effortless ease. John tapped her nose teasingly and smirked. "Renee, you've only grown more irresistible after ten years." Renee lowered her head shyly, her voice soft and delicate. "That's not true." After a few flirtatious exchanges, John said, "I've already arranged for the share transfer. In at most two days, all of Gray Corporation's shares will be under Zac's name." As he spoke, he looked down at the woman in his arms. "When that happens, you'll finally be able to marry me without any concerns." Renee had told him she wanted to marry him, but she lacked a sense of security. Without hesitation, John had transferred all his shares to Zac. Renee had reasoned that Zac was their biological son, and he would eventually take over the company anyway. So John decided to transfer everything to him. Hearing this, a faint smile graced Renee's lips, but it never reached her eyes. She nodded obediently. When she looked up again, her gaze shimmered with emotion. "Johnny, you're so good to me." John, captivated by her delicate charm, couldn't resist any longer. He leaned down and kissed her deeply. Lost in his own infatuation, John failed to notice the flicker of disgust in Renee's eyes. The following day. Just past noon, John received confirmation of the successful share transfer. Overjoyed, he rushed to show the documents to Renee and Zac. "Renee, Zac, it's done! The transfer went through even faster than I expected!" At the news, both Renee and Zac's eyes gleamed with excitement. Zac couldn't contain his elation. "Seriously?" "Seriously! Look! Starting now, Gray Corporation is officially yours! You hold the largest stake, and that makes you the chairman of Gray Corporation!"
