After hanging up the phone, Arianne gave a long sigh in relief. Thankfully, Beau was not in cahoots with Seaton.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Arianne did not have time to hesitate and quickly proceeded to claim ownership of the company. The entire process took approximately half a month.
Beau got back to Arianne as well. Someone had actually looked for his mother. The person had even said that Tremont Enterprises was in peril and it would be wise to get rid of their shares. Sonya did not reply to him immediately but checked up on the latest situation with the company continuously. Beau had looked for her right after that and his mother agreed to sell their shares to Arianne.
At that point, Arianne was racing against time. Although she had claimed the company, she was still afraid of the opposing side claiming partial ownership of the company the moment they accumulated enough shares. Therefore, the more shares she had on hand, the more advantageous it would be for her. That way, she could avoid being forced up to a brick wall later on. During the process, she needed to have a huge sum of cash on hand. Unfortunately, most of the expenses involved would very likely cause the company to have negative cash flow.
Arianne pondered for two days and decided she should sell off the Wynn Mansion to bolster some of the expenses incurred. The moment the mansion was sold off, there was literally no hope of reacquiring it later since the person who bought the mansion would be buying it for its sentimental value and would not be strapped for cash. Arianne would do whatever it took to protect Tremont Enterprises!
Thankfully, her dessert shop had already resumed operation and was slowly breaking even. Although the amount of money earned in the shop was nothing compared to Tremont Enterprises, it was still better than her having to spend extra money to maintain the shop.
After calculating the amount of money required, Arianne realized that the actual figure had grossly exceeded her expectations. Arianne was still short of a huge sum of money to meet the required sum. It was at that moment that she realized how valuable the shares in Tremont Enterprises were.
Her plan to maintain the company naturally fell since she was not able to fork out so much money. It was at that moment that Seaton appeared and played the good guy role.
When the two of them met at Mark’s office, Arianne calmly said, “Mr. Bart, you really are a prophet, showing up just when Tremont Enterprises is facing its toughest moments. No wonder you had asked me to sell off the company previously.”
