My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 264

Chapter 264: It’s Start Now!
“Fine. If it makes you feel better, I’ll take it. Thanks, little brother.”

Bella smiled before asking him about his progress in starting their most ambitious plan to take over the Donovan Group from her uncle and father.

“Is there any progress with the task I gave you?” she asked.

Stefan’s face immediately brightened, and his eyes sparkled when he saw Bella.

“Sis, this is starting now! Well, when we talk now, the share price of your family company is starting to fall.” A proud smile framed his face. He feels excited about creating chaos in Donovan Group.

“You are indeed effective and efficient, Stefan. Okay, tell me more…”

“The Donovan Group has a lot of swing traders who are trying to make a profit by taking quick gains from the fluctuations in company shares, which are currently unstable…you know what’s happening inside the Donovan Group’s management, right?”

Bella nodded. She knew that Donovan Group’s share price was starting to rise because of Dawson Group’s investment in the company.

Stefan continued to explain that the people who buy shares on the market are actually swing traders. They didn’t trust the company yet, so when he released two negative news pieces about the Donovan Group a few hours ago, the prices started to fall as soon as the stock market opened. Many shareholders began selling their shares every minute because they panicked about the company’s future.

“I will make their prices touch the lowest limit in the stock market. And no one wants to buy those shares, even if they sell them at a discounted price… When the price hits the bottom, I’ll start buying back all the shares.”

Hearing Stefan’s explanation was enough to excite Bella.

“Perfect, bro. How many days do you need us to buy back all the shares from the public?”

“Three days!”

Bella was surprised. What news did Stefan upload that made all investors believe the company’s shares would fall to their lowest price in three days?

She felt curious and wanted to check the internet for the news. She also wanted to return to the East to see her uncles and father’s panicked states.

“That fast?”

“Yes. But buying out shares from big shareholders like your uncles, father, and other major investors will take a few days. We need to send people to negotiate with them. It makes them panic to finally sell their shares, which are no longer worth anything.”

“Okay, I will talk to Sam—”

“No need, sis. I already talked to Sam last night, and he said he would assign someone to do that.” Stefan clapped his hands, feeling excited. “So, sister… next week, you may become the largest shareholder in the Donovan Group if our plan runs smoothly.”

Bella tried to hide her happiness at this moment, fearing it was too early to celebrate their success. But her wide smile betrayed her.

“Sister, go home and prepare to pack your suitcase. You will fly to East City in a few days.” Stefan chuckled when he saw her smile happily.

“Haha, true! It looks like I have to fly there next week and hold an Annual General Meeting,” said Bella.

A sinister smile slowly framed Bella’s beautiful face as she imagined attending a Donovan Group shareholder meeting and firing her first uncle from the CEO position. She also planned to ensure her father lost his job as COO of the company. She would only keep her Aunt Emma as CFO or appoint her as the new CEO.

At this moment, Bella’s mind was filled with many plans about her family, and the need to call her mother and Aunt Emma started bothering her again. Sigh!

“Oh, Sister Bella… I need to confirm something with you.” Stefan’s face turned serious again, causing Bella to pay attention to him.

“Yes. What is it?”

“Regarding the company name… I should buy back all the shares from the Donovan Group. Do you want me to use Quantum Capital?”

“No. Use my anonymous company. This is my personal problem. I don’t want Quantum Capital involved.”

“Understood, Sis… I’ll take care of everything. You don’t have to worry about it.”

A few minutes later, Bella and Stefan discussed many things before finally saying goodbye. She had to get ready to meet Amanda Spencer at Sushi Tei Restaurant immediately.

****

At 11.55 AM

Bella arrived at the VIP room of Sushi Tei Restaurant. She didn’t rush to knock on the door, trying to adjust her expression because she felt very nervous.

“Ma’am… pardon me to ask you this. But are you sure you don’t want me to accompany you inside? I can be unnoticeable, Ma’am. No one would suspect me guarding you.”

Bella was surprised to hear a man’s voice from behind. It was Bryan, one of Tristan’s people. She thought Bryan was already waiting for her in the restaurant hall. She had asked him to wait for her to have his lunch while she met Amanda in the VIP room.

She looked at Bryan, standing four steps ahead of her. “Thank you, Bryan. But I think I’m fine alone inside the Restaurant. Don’t worry, the person I’m about to meet inside is my best friend’s aunt.”

“Excuse me for saying this, ma’am. Would you allow me to check the room first before you enter? Besides, Mr. Sinclair has specifically asked me to do this…” Bryan insisted. He couldn’t take this lightly because this woman was their big boss’ wife.

Bella silently took a deep sigh. She couldn’t refuse Bryan; he was stubborn, just like Tristan, when it came to her safety. She nodded to Bryan and finally dared to knock on the door.

Later,

She faintly heard a gentle voice from inside, asking her to enter.

When Bella opened the door, she saw a slender, size six woman with straight black hair hanging down her back, standing and looking at her. The woman looked classy in her black Chanel one-button suit and knee-length skirt. Her bold red lips slowly spread into a warm smile that framed her beautiful face.

“Are you… Arabella Donovan, right?” She greeted her in a cheerful and friendly voice. “OMG! Bella, you are so beautiful…”
