Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 426 The Biggest Shareholder

Irene looked disappointed: “He seems to have seen through it. It seems that I have underestimated him.”

“It is not that you have underestimated him, but that you have overestimated the boldness of the Wade family

in the eyes of outsiders. Didn’t you say that Ainsley and Manuel were in a tense relationship?” But they were

pretty fine just now and didn’t seem to be in a deadlock at all.

Irene looked at Daniel with an inquiry. “You seem to be in love with Ainsley? Did you…” Daniel did not admit it,

but he did not deny it. He only looked at Irene coldly and said, “This is not what you should be concerned

about. What did you ask him for?”

“Tonight, Manuel will receive a big gift. I want you to announce in public that you want to invest in Halfmoon

Island,” Irene smiled.

The host let everyone take their seats to have a meal. On the dining table which could accommodate eight

people, all kinds of delicacies had been served, and all of them were the best dishes of Pearl Hotel.

Manuel and Ainsley sat together. He first cut the steak into pieces and then handed them to Ainsley. All of

this was captured by the camera. Ainsley did not refuse.

“You’re really good at acting,” she commented with a smile.

“I was not acting just now,” Manuel said with calmness as he peeled a shrimp and placed it on Ainsley’s

plate.

Ainsley blushed with anger and almost put back the steak he had cut. However, she did not forget what the

occasion was. She just happened to see Irene looking at them, so Ainsley immediately picked up a piece of

steak and said, “Try it.”

Manuel was stunned for a moment. He immediately opened his ****and ate it. The scene made them look

like a loving couple. Irene was so angry that she clenched her teeth. However, she did not dare to flare

up.

The media and reporters were even more excited. They were taking photos crazily and videos of Manuel

and

Ainsley. This kind of news would definitely be explosive, And it would make headlines.

“I don’t think you are acting,” Manuel said softly.

“Unfortunately, you are wrong. I was acting.”

“Aisy, I feel that something is wrong.” Manuel put down his knife and fork.

Ainsley did not notice it. She asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t you feel that this birthday banquet will be too peaceful?” It was so calm that it made people feel

that

this was just an ordinary birthday banquet.

Ainsley widened her eyes and felt the same. It was strange.

The Wade family had spent so much effort inviting so many people and even invited Ainsley and Manuel

just

to participate in an ordinary birthday party. Would the Wade family be so nice?

Before they would think further, Irene and Daniel stood up and walked in front of the crowd. Daniel

picked up the microphone and looked at Ainsley with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Ainsley glared at him fiercely and immediately grabbed Manuel’s arm. Daniel said, “Maybe everyone is

curious about my identity. I am the partner of the Wade family. Ms. Wade and I just reached our biggest

deal

ever, and now I am the second shareholder of Halfmoon Island.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “In the past, Halfmoon Island was owned by the Wade family,

so I

didn’t care about its development. But now it’s different. Since I have already become a shareholder, I

have

the duty to make it the best resort island in Seattle. Ms. Easton, do you have any objections?”

Everyone looked at Ainsley. No one had expected that Daniel would ask Ainsley directly on such an

occasion.

Everyone knew that Halfmoon Island and PineMist Island were two newly opened resort islands in

Seattle.

The Wade family was involved in the scandal of plagiarism, so the opening of Halfmoon Island was put

off.

And an accident caused the business of PineMist Island to be greatly reduced, and it had not opened

yet.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ainsley smiled and said, “Mr. Hume, whether our islands can be the best

vacation.

resort is not up to us. The masses have sharp eyes. Rather than saying empty talk, we might just focus

on

business.”

She retorted to Daniel with ease, but Daniel was not angry.

Irene took the microphone and said, “Ms. Easton, don’t take offense. Mr. Hume just thought that Mr.

Gage.

would help you. He was not targeting you.”

Irene shifted the topic to Manuel. Everyone was curious about the matter between them.

Seeing that Ainsley was targeted, Cason wanted to stand up for her.

However, Kaliyah pressed him down.

“Cason, what are you doing? You have to know the occasion and don’t mess around! You’ve already

divorced

Ainsley. Even if you want to help her, she won’t appreciate it!”

Cason’s expression gradually calmed down. Kaliyah’s words pulled him back to reality.

Cason felt that he had been very confused recently. He always looked at his side when he was dreaming

at midnight, thinking that the person lying next to him was Ainsley.

But when he woke up, he found that he was sleeping alone. Sometimes, when he saw Kaliyah, he would

feel

lost.

“Irene clearly came for Ainsley,” Cason said in a deep voice.

“No matter who Irene aimed at, it has nothing to do with us. We can’t afford to offend the Wade family, and the Hume farmily is in the same boat as them. You have to think about the Baldry Group before you act. Think about me and my child, think about your mother and your sister!” Kaliyah said disappointedly.

She knew that she had to reason with Cason with calmness. Otherwise, he would lose his rationality.

Kaliyah continued, “Besides, Manuel is by Ainsley’s side. He will protect her.”

Kaliyah let go of her hand, and Cason immediately calmed himself down.

Ainsley looked at Irene and pretended to ask innocently, “Ms. Wade, what does this matter have to do with Mr. Gage? Moreover, I have never participated in the matter of PineMist Island. I am just a

psychological counselor at the University of Washington. It’s my cousin, Matteo, who takes charge of the Easton Group. I am only here to attend your birthday party. Why will I talk about business at the party?”

“Ms. Easton, you must be joking. Everyone knows that the biggest shareholder of the Easton Group is you.

You are the chairman of the Easton Group, aren’t you?” Irene smiled.

The people looked at Ainsley in surprise. Not many people knew about this matter. Even Cason and Kaliyah

were stunned.

Kaliyah widened her eyes and couldn’t believe that Ainsley was actually the biggest shareholder of the

Easton Group. But few people knew about this.

She looked at Cason and found that he was as confused as she was. It seemed that he didn’t know about it

either.

Ainsley really hid her identity well.

Daniel was getting more and more interested in Ainsley. She was actually the biggest shareholder of the

Easton Group. That really made him excited.

“Ms. Wade, everyone knows that the Easton Group has always been managed by Matteo. Although I have

shares, I have never asked about the business. The Easton Group is already Matteo’s, and I have never been,

the chairman of the group. I have never been in charge of the company in the past, and I will never interfere

with the business in the future,” Ainsley said resolutely.

Ainsley had long known that this matter would be brought up by some people.

“Oh, so I’m just a busybody,” Irene said in embarrassment.
