Max said sharply, "Fine! If you won't take care of it, then hand over the shares to me. I'll take control."
Max's blunt demand made both Andrew and Eleanor snap their heads toward him. Even Stella stared at him in utter disbelief.
Max didn't think he'd said anything wrong. "Grandma, I'm not the majority shareholder yet, so there are decisions I can't make. But once you transfer the shares to me, I'll be able to take the reins. I'll steer the company to great success."
Andrew shot Max a silencing look.
Max remained utterly convinced he was in the right. "Just hand over the shares to me, and we'll consider this matter closed. I'll talk to Mom and Dad about Anna's case, and they'll drop all charges against Stella."
Stella was speechless.
Eleanor scoffed, "Max, let's cut the crap. All this drama is just about getting your hands on my shares, isn't it?"
Max froze for a moment. "No, Grandma. The Hayes family will be mine eventually. Since you're not managing the company anymore, why not just transfer all the shares to me now? That way, if anything were to happen to you..."
Andrew kept shooting Max warning glances, but Max simply ignored them, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Eleanor.
"As the man of this family, the legacy is naturally mine to inherit. If it weren't for this situation, I wouldn't be asking now. But since it's come to this, Grandma, just be reasonable and hand over the shares already."
Eleanor's smile twisted into a mocking sneer. "Max, I'll give you this. You're certainly more blunt than either of your parents. But let me make this clear. No way in hell am I giving you my shares."
"Grandma, if not to me, then who? To Stella? Look at her condition. Who knows how much longer she'll even last? What good is she for anyway?"
"Shut up!" Eleanor jabbed a trembling finger at Max. "Get out, right now. I don't want to see your face."
Max was about to argue further when Andrew hurriedly pulled him out of the room.
Max was practically freaking out, but Andrew shook his head and said, "You're being way too reckless."
"But Dad, if we don't go for the shares now, when will we? The company just barely recovered, and now it's all falling apart again."
Andrew snapped, "Of course I'm anxious. Can't you see how disgusted your grandma is?"
"She's definitely going to give all the shares to Stella. What right does she have? She'll be married off eventually anyway. I'm the only rightful heir to this family."
Andrew said, "Alright, let's drop it for now."
Eleanor and Stella paid no attention to what Max and Andrew were discussing outside. Stella looked at Eleanor and asked, "Grandma, do you really think Anna is okay?"
"Of course she is. At worst, she just passed out. Honestly, I've always thought she was faking it, and now I'm convinced that she's definitely putting on an act," Eleanor replied.
A gentle warmth spread through Stella's chest. But as she thought of Fiona, her lips curled into a cold sneer.
When Anna had the slightest issue, Fiona rushed to her side. But when Stella was in real trouble, at best, Fiona just put on a show. Sometimes she couldn't even be bothered to pretend.
Max confronted Stella once again, launching into emotional blackmail. "Stella, this company crisis is all your fault. Grandma even stuck her neck out for you. If you still want this family to survive, there's one thing you must do."
Stella couldn't be bothered to respond.
Max said coldly, "If you won't speak, I'll take your silence as consent."
Stella stared at his ice-cold expression, and a sudden sense of dread crept over her. She wondered what Max was up to.
