Chapter 141: Ten Percent of Her Shares

"You demanded my fifteen percent shares for allegedly harming others. By that logic, you should surrender at least ten percent of yours for allowing your agent to commit these crimes."

Ten percent of her shares. Vanessa nearly snarled in fury. Not only did Sienna demand she pay the models 110 million dollars, but she was also targeting her ten percent stake. It was worth at least twenty billion. How could Sienna be so ruthless. Helena could no longer tolerate the situation. She shouted at Sienna, "Sienna, stop this! Why are you cornering your own sister like everyone else? It's tragic enough she's been implicated in this mess. Have you no humanity left?"

"Hah, you want me to be humane? Where was their compassion when they framed me for poisoning the models? Where was their humanity when they forced me to apologize for crimes I didn't commit? Where was it when they demanded I hand over my fifteen percent shares? You've defended and believed Vanessa this entire time, but have you ever once believed or defended me since this began?" Sienna's voice was icy and sharp, her gaze piercing directly into Helena.

Helena was speechless. She felt a pang of heartache looking into Sienna's cold eyes. Just as she prepared to speak, Sienna turned away. "Forget it. I'll ask grandfather about the equity transfer. Let's see if someone who allows their agent to poison and frame others is fit to hold twenty percent of the company shares!" She immediately called Henry Bennett on her phone.

Henry's voice came through clearly. "Sienna, I saw the broadcast. I know you're innocent. Vanessa must take responsibility this time. Where's Atticus? Tell him to transfer ten percent of Vanessa's shares to you immediately." Sienna's phone was on speaker. Everyone heard Henry's command perfectly. Atticus, being a lawyer, understood the case was filled with irregularities. It was highly probable Vanessa orchestrated this herself. Henry was being generous by only taking ten percent of her shares. He approached Vanessa with the equity transfer agreement. "Ms. Vanessa, please comply with the Director's instructions and sign here."

Vanessa trembled with rage. Her face was deathly pale. Twenty billion dollars. Her twenty billion dollars was vanishing just like that. She came here to seize Sienna's fifteen percent, and now she was losing ten percent of her own. She was on the verge of a complete breakdown. But cameras were pointed at her from every direction. The situation had spiraled out of control. What choice did she have? How could she refuse?

She had no option. She gritted her teeth and forced out the words. "Of course... I should do this after causing Sienna so much distress... I will treat her better from now on. I will make it up to her!" Her hand shook violently as she signed her name on the document. Atticus brought the agreement to Sienna for her signature. Ten percent of the shares, with a market value of two hundred billion dollars, now belonged to Sienna. Vanessa's body trembled so uncontrollably she almost collapsed.

Helena caught her. "Vanessa, let's go. We'll give your statement, then go home and speak to grandfather about this! Sienna, you went too far today. You've disappointed me. You've broken my heart!" With that, Helena led a distraught Vanessa away from the scene. Sienna watched them leave, her expression turning frosty. Disappointed? Heartbroken? She felt the exact same way. She pushed through the crowd. Miles handed her the keys to the touring motorcycle. She mounted the bike and sped away.
