The reading of the will could be said to have run very smoothly and did not encounter any significant obstacles because Aileen did not have the right to demand more than what was given to her.
Tatum Jewelry's shares owned by Hailee's parents amount to sixty- seven percent, of which Hailee got fifty- five percent and Aileen got twelve percent.
The total inherited shares under Hailee's name automatically made her the biggest shareholder in the company and have full authority to remove Aileen and George from the chair they have occupied without prior negotiation.
Needless to say that the two of them didn't have any right to be there in the first place, if it was not because of Hailee went missing for some time and there were no one occupied that position.
This was not surprising at all and Ramon had anticipated it well. It was only a matter of time until Ramon could take control of the company, replacing Hailee and overhaul all management in it.
This made George worry and made him feel very uncomfortable, because he knew that he had taken a wrong move during his first encounter with Ramon the first time they met and it was proved to be a very fatal step.
Perhaps Ramon never brought this up, but George more than understood that this was not going to go unpunished and easily forgotten, especially for someone like Ramon, whose status alone, demanded every respect from other people.
This time George had completely taken a misstep and put himself in an extremely dangerous situation for his future at the company.
The only way to save himself was Aileen's marriage to Theodore, because after all Aileen was his real child and there was no way she were to betray him, right? At least, that was what in his mind right now.
However, George seemed to overestimate the control he held over Aileen and this was a huge miscalculation because Aileen had made other plans behind his back.
Meanwhile, apart from company shares, there were five houses which were in the names of Hailee's parents. One of which was the main house where Hailee grew up and was now occupied by Aileen alone.
Four of the five houses were transferred under Hailee's name and one house, which was a house in the same residential area as the Tatum family's main house, was handed over to Aileen.
Even though it was a house in the same area, it was rarely occupied and much smaller than the main house.
However, of course Aileen could not protest about it and could only show her understanding smile while holding back the jealousy and desire to scratch the face of Hailee who was smiling and whispering affectionately to Ramon Tordoff.
Actually, she didn't need those houses, since she lived in Tordoff residence with Ramon.
How could Hailee get everything while Aileen only got the little things that were insignificant when compared to what Hailee had?
It didn't stop there, there were some jewelry and small shares in three other companies, all of which fell into Hailee's hands, while Aileen got a land with an area of fifty hectares, which was planted with coffee beans and plantations that were still active and producing annually.
Meanwhile, Hailee inherited two diamond mines, one of which was overseas and was still very productive until today.
And after a few more statements and the attorney's concluding words, silence engulfed the room until George spoke up.
"Hailee really doesn't understand how to manage a company, what if I volunteer to help her," George suggested.
If he couldn't stand up to fight Hailee, then he'd better stand up to help her, but on the other hand this help was like a knife with two sharp edges, ready to scratch anyone, or take George's first chance to get Hailee in his grasp.
But, just like his previous calculations, that often went wrong, he simply did not think that Ramon had done that long before the day this would happen because the man had such a strong vision.
"No need," Ramon interrupted it calmly before George could say any further. "I myself will help my wife."
It went without saying that Ramon and his team of professionals were more than capable of assisting Hailee in dealing with management issues at Tatum Jewelry, so it could be said that George's help was completely useless and out of place.
How ridiculous George's offer when Ramon was more than capable to help Hailee in this case.
Of course, this was realized by George and Aileen. Hailee would not take the reins of leadership alone, she needed Ramon behind her, which also meant that Ramon was the actual person who would run the company.
They were both like two very efficient twin swords, on the pretext that Hailee was the true heir, the shareholders would definitely support her, especially knowing Ramon Tordoff's involvement in it.
Who would miss a chance of partnership with the Tordoffs?
George's case of canceling the purchase of Ramon's ring the other day got him heavily criticized, not to mention that his reputation was damaged after he bought the ring.
Logically thinking, no one would support him. And, it was over for George if Ramon managed to get into this big mess and kick him out of the company, which George knew very well that this man could do just that.
