Chapter 132
To my surprise, I heard the same gentle, crisp voice calling out, “Taylor?”
My heart raced. I turned back to him. “Yes?”
Soren peeked out of the car, wearing a warm smile. “Don’t worry. I’m still as healthy as can be, but… I appreciate
that. Thanks.”
His sincerity eased my nerves, and I felt my entire body relax.
I smiled. “I’m glad.”
“See you,” he said.
I waved. “See you too.”
At first, I had planned to run after what had happened in the car, but his response was so warm that I began to think I must not have offended him with my lecture.
A wave of relief washed over me, and suddenly, I found myself watching his car drive away.

Cherry approached me as soon as I returned. “Are you okay, Miss Jones? Miss Crowe looked for you gone, so I told her you were being taken away by the IRS. She said she’s going to ask Mr. Kenway for help…”
“Yeah. Mr. Kenway drove me back here. Don’t worry, I’m fine now,” I reassured her.
Once she left, my expression darkened.
Harry was screwed.

I called my aunt, Lola. As one of Harbinger Inc.’s stakeholders, everything happening would affect her profits too. I was sure she wouldn’t sit idly by.
It turned out Lola didn’t know much either. But she was well–connected with other executives, so after a few calls, she managed to piece together some information.
“Your dad sold off his shares to other shareholders at a low price a few days ago. He’s no longer a shareholder- which means you’re now the biggest one in the company,” Lola explained.
“He sold them off? In secret? Is that legal?”
“There’s nothing in the company rules that says shareholders must notify others on the board about share transactions. All it takes is a signed legal contract. So, even though it’s morally wrong, it’s not legally wrong,” explained.
I processed the information.
“He’s been playing the long game just to frame me!” I exclaimed. “But wait… Isn’t he the owner and the one legally in charge of Harbinger Inc.? How can it be me?”
Lola hesitated before answering, her tone tinged with regres, “Harry made Maddison the judicial person about a month ago. Since she’s gone now, and you’re the biggest shareholder…”
What?! He was so desperate to frame me that he used Maddison’s death to his advantage.

“You have to do something to save this company, Taylor!” Lola cried, desperation in her voice. “Otherwise, all of .us will sink with this ship!”
I chuckled bitterly. “Aunt Lola, I’m just one woman. What can I do?”

“I don’t buy that, Taylor. Your company is doing really well right now, right? You must have the money to clear the debt!”
“Even if I were the richest woman in the world, I wouldn’t spend a dime fixing the mess that bastard left behind!”
If I did, I’d be doing exactly what he wanted.
Realizing Lola wasn’t going to be on my side, I ended the call quickly.
I knew families could turn on each other over money–sometimes, all people could think about was their own interests.
lace the Lola and I weren’t close. We were just an aunt and niece. I should be relieved that she wasn’t trying to place the blame on me.
I glanced at the clock. It was 3:00 p.m.
There was still time.
I gathered four of the strongest, fittest security guards I had and told them to join me.
