CHAPTER 96: CHAPTER 95: I SHOULDN’T HAVE UNDERESTIMATED YOU

There’s no difference from those good-for-nothing wealthy heirs.

He opened his mouth, powerless to defend himself: "I... I’m not a good-for-nothing wealthy heir."

He’s the president of the Gardiner Clan, he has work and ability.

He’s not, but at this moment, he couldn’t lift his head in front of her.

"Hmph!" Florence Fuller said coldly, "You know exactly the kind of life you’re living."

She walked to the sofa, picked up her bag, and left.

Luke Gardiner stood there, stunned, unable to come to his senses.

___

The Fuller Clan’s stock price started to fall, executives jumped ship, technical staff were poached, core projects were forced to stop, and in the difficult circumstances, Michael Fuller let out a breath.

He took two agreements and went looking for Florence Fuller.

He had signed the divorce papers, and the other was a share transfer.

Of the thirty percent shares he held, he transferred fifteen percent to Florence Fuller.

Florence Fuller saw it and wasn’t satisfied.

Michael Fuller got angry seeing her attitude, "Don’t be too greedy."

"Greedy?" Florence Fuller shook her head, "You know how much the Fuller’s share price has fallen, you know the losses, give me half and keep half for yourself, aren’t you still thinking about James Fuller."

Michael Fuller’s face turned dark, "He’s still my son no matter what."

Florence Fuller scoffed coldly, "If I can turn the Fuller Clan around, he won’t even have a place here."

"After all, you are brother and sister by blood, at least take care of each other. Why do you have to push him to the edge?" Michael Fuller advised earnestly.

"I didn’t say he should die, don’t say such things." Florence Fuller said, "How do you know he won’t target me later, he even went to see Luke Gardiner, and Clara Fuller is still in contact with you, right?"

Michael Fuller’s face stiffened.

From the start, he didn’t take Florence Fuller seriously, never realized the danger of this daughter, he thought she was just relying on the Gardiner Family to suppress the Fuller Family.

But when the call reached Old Mr. Gardiner, his light disdain for suppressing the Fuller Clan showed he didn’t really care.

When he tried to reason with Luke Gardiner not to mess with the Gardiner Family because of Florence Fuller, Luke Gardiner was displeased and aimed to take over the Fuller Clan quickly.

And what did Florence Fuller do, she first exposed James Fuller’s negative impact, then found ways to poach the Fuller’s partners, many companies were eager to see the Fuller Clan falter and wanted a piece of the pie when they collapsed.

She was always working in the background.

Michael Fuller thought he could find help, but Florence Fuller had already blocked every possible way.

She must have more tactics he didn’t know about.

"We don’t have much father-daughter relationship, I might as well be frank with you." Florence Fuller chuckled, "Even if I don’t want the Fuller Clan, I can’t stand seeing the things I worked for handed over to others. If you hadn’t made me marry into the Gardiner Family back then, I wouldn’t have cared about the James Fuller situation at all."

Michael Fuller looked at her.

"Blame your selfishness back then, keeping me locked up at home not letting me go to France, but sending Clara Fuller instead. Did Clara Fuller accomplish anything for you?" She smiled mockingly, "Did she reach the Harper Family?"

"No one knew what would happen back then!" Michael Fuller said coldly, "Even if she went to France she couldn’t find him, could you?"

Old Mr. Gardiner took a liking to Florence Fuller, the Fuller Family’s bright future was right here, he couldn’t let Florence Fuller go to France to find someone, but he was clever, Clara Fuller could go.

Florence Fuller would marry into the Gardiner Family, Clara Fuller would reach the Harper Family, the Fuller Clan’s future would definitely be bright.

Unfortunately, Clara Fuller was useless.

"Whether I could, I’m not sure." Florence Fuller smirked, "But dad, Ethan Harper did come back to find me."

Michael Fuller looked at her, shocked.

"Do you know he’s now the chairman of Polaris Conglomerate?" Florence Fuller tapped the share transfer agreement with her fingertips, "Such a powerful business empire, if I asked him for help, don’t you think he could easily destroy the Fuller Clan."

"You..." Michael Fuller was in disbelief, "Stop joking around."

Florence Fuller raised an eyebrow, leaving it up to him whether to believe or not.

"Alright then, I’ll take a step back." Florence Fuller flipped through the share transfer agreement, "I want twenty-two percent, you keep the rest, step down and you’ll still get a share of the company’s profits."

"You want twenty-two percent and you call that a step back?" Michael Fuller was vexed, "Is that your idea of stepping back?"

Florence Fuller thought for a moment, "Then give it all to me."

Michael Fuller felt a surge of anger, his chest felt clogged.

"Florence Fuller, I’m not even dead yet and you’re eyeing everything I have!" His chest heaved, "I underestimated you when you married into the Gardiner Family for shares."

In some ways, Florence Fuller was like him.

Michael Fuller took over the Fuller Clan in his youth and developed it step by step, later marrying Laura Yates for the Yates Clan stepping stone, he was someone who placed profit above all.

Always looking out for his own interests.

And he needed a son to take over his empire.

Not a daughter.

The angrier he was, the calmer Florence Fuller appeared.

She glanced at him casually, "You only saw the big tree that is the Gardiner Family, of course, you were willing to cast a long line to catch a big fish. But that fish, halfway caught, broke free and turned back to bite you."

"This is... you brought it on yourself."

"You..." He pounded his chest twice, "I shouldn’t have let you come back to the Fuller Family, let you come back to anger me to death!"

"It’s no use regretting now." Florence Fuller looked at him, "Have you made up your mind? Are you going to give me everything or twenty-two percent?"

Michael Fuller’s eyes were heavy as he looked at her, two people facing each other, the air seemingly filled with the scent of gunpowder.

The silent standoff continued.

Michael Fuller sighed, softening his tone, "Florence... I’m still your biological father after all."

Florence Fuller laughed, "So, either you give it all to me and I can provide for you in your old age."

Michael Fuller was full of anger, Florence Fuller was completely immune to both hard and soft approaches.

"Eighteen percent!" After a long silence, Michael Fuller said.

Florence Fuller looked at him quietly.

"In the divorce agreement with your mother, I have to divide my assets, I need to leave some for myself." Michael Fuller said.

"You’re not saving for yourself, but for that son of yours." Florence Fuller hit the nail on the head, "Maybe you want to save a little fallback for yourself too."

"Even if I gave it to you, you don’t have time to manage the Fuller Clan. You’re married in SJ, do you have the time? Besides such a big company... you... you don’t understand..."

Michael Fuller thought he was being subtle.

"How do you know I can’t manage?" Florence Fuller said, "If I can’t manage, someone else will, but that person will never be James Fuller!"
