"Ciaran, is it true? James gave Sophia the shares that easily?" Janet looked at Ciaran suspiciously, doubting the credibility of her words.

Sophia offered immediately, "Of course, Mrs. Lake. This is true. My father promised me that as long as I get married to Noah, he will give 20% of the shares of the Gills Group to me. Although my shares are less than Shehnaaz's, I'm still the successor of the Gills Group. Besides, Shehnaaz didn't pay much attention to the company these years, so sooner or later, the company will be mine. At that time, the Gills and the Lakes would be closer, and we would be able to take care of each other if something happens to one of us. What do you think?" Sophia was smart enough not to tell the whole story.

The sudden fall of James was indeed strange. If she claimed that the Gills Group was all hers, she would attract suspicion.

If the 20% share was dowry, however, the Lakes couldn't find fault on that.

It worked as she had expected. With her explanation, Janet's expression softened at once. "If that's the case, I have no objections. But it still depends on Noah."

As she spoke, the others turned their gaze to Noah.

The man looked a little surprised by the news, but he did not reply immediately.

He had always had feelings for Shehnaaz.

Unwilling that she became someone else's woman, he'd been trying all he could to win her back.

He had been so busy with the troubled company that he had no time for it. But now, when he was finally free, Sophia suggested getting married.

Noah was a little reluctant to do that, but Sophia's belly was getting bigger and bigger. It would not be good if he said no.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Let's get married then. Anyway, it's just a matter of time. Leave the wedding ceremony to Mom. There's no need to be too rushed. I want a glorious wedding ceremony."

As for Shehnaaz.... After Hadley comes back and takes up her post, he would have plenty of opportunities to charm her!

*************

After staying in the ICU for three days, James was finally transferred to the general ward. However, he still did not show any signs of waking up.

On the second day, the doctor reported the cause of his illness.

"Mr. Sidharth, we've run a test on the bottle of potion you brought earlier. According to our analysis, the potion contains a harmful ingredient that can stimulate the brain and even cause signs of a stroke. Moreover, people who take it will fall into a coma for a long time. This potion is not allowed to be sold at home or abroad because it is harmful to the human body."

The doctor looked at Sidharth seriously and kindly reminded him, "Sir, this illegal drug has poisoned Mr. James. So please call the police if you get any other information. If this drug is on the market, it will be a disaster for many people. As a doctor, I don't want to see such a thing happen."

As Shehnaaz had expected, James's coma had something to do with the potion.

Shehnaaz was chilled to the bone at the thought of Ciaran and Sophia poisoning her father.

What a vicious woman who had accompanied her father all these years!

"Should we call the police for this? Ciaran and Sophia basically murdered for money." Shehnaaz asked Sidharth, unable to be more disgusted at the mother and daughter.

With an icy face, Sidharth still maintained his composure and shook his head. "It involves a lot of people. Lacking evidence aside, it is useless to call the police. Just take the potion as an example. It is not good for the entire Gills family to have the drug. If the police launch an investigation, your father, and even you, will be implicated. Not to mention that Sophia and Ciaran are very likely to frame you, so we cannot act rashly. "

"Is there no solution?" Shehnaaz gnashed her teeth, her pretty face now occupied by anger.

"It's not that I don't have one, but I need time to gather evidence. First of all, I need to figure out where this potion is from. But there is neither a model number nor a specific place of origin on it, so I'm undoubtedly searching for a needle in a haystack."

Sidharth explained the fact evenly. However, when he noted Shehnaaz's pale face, he added immediately, "But don't worry, Baby.. I only need some time to find its source."

"Really?" Shehnaaz asked with red tearful eyes.

Sidharth touched her cheek with regret and said, "Yes, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Sidharth, thank you!" Shehnaaz threw herself into his arms and smelled his scent greedily.

Only then did Shehnaaz realize the importance of power.

With power, one could handle things that ordinary people couldn't.

If it weren't for Sidharth, she would probably be at a loss for what to do right now, wouldn't she?

Shehnaaz didn't know when James would wake up, and she couldn't keep staying with him. Therefore, she hired someone she trusted to take care of her father.

As for Ciaran and Sophia, the former came to the hospital symbolically every day, while the latter was too lazy to even show up.

Witnessing their behaviour, Shehnaaz couldn't help but feel that James deserved to be treated better.

To protect Ciaran and Sophia, he had repeatedly cold-shouldered his own daughter for so many years. In the end, that was what he got-he almost lost his life.

Shehnaaz had hatred and resentment towards her father, but when he was lying in the hospital bed waiting for his fate, she felt so terrible.

Because of that, Shehnaaz wished she could have brought her stepmother and stepsister to justice as soon as possible.

Those two were too ruthless and would do whatever they needed to achieve their goals. They tried to kill Shehnaaz last time and now it was James's turn. They simply wanted them dead.

Shehnaaz had been taking care of James for three days in the hospital. On the fourth day, the company called and ordered her to return quickly.

Knowing that she shouldn't be absent for too many days, she didn't refuse the request and rushed back to work immediately.

*************

However, the vibe in TEG today seemed to be somewhat different from before.

The air in the company used to be quite harmonious, but today, it was somewhat tense.

Puzzled, Shehnaaz asked Josie in a low voice, "Is there something big going on at the company?"

"Well, there is something big happening."

Josie sneered and said with a mocking expression, "Hadley has returned home and today is the day she officially takes office. As the general manager, ranked second only to the chairman, she requested all the employees in the company be in place to show their welcome and respect for her."
