Shalma Hughes stared at Lawyer Langdon's face for a long time before smiling. "Lawyer Langdon, you should know that my mother was disowned by the Thorne Family. Before that, I had never heard her mention anything about Thorne Group shares. The current head of the Thorne Family is my uncle. If I inherit these shares, does it mean I'll have absolute controlling interest over the Thorne Group?"
"Yes, Ms. Hughes! Your uncle, Mr. Leroy Thorne, currently holds twenty percent of the Thorne Group's shares. If you inherit the shares left by Ms. Eve Thorne, you will gain absolute majority control over the Thorne Group."
Lawyer Langdon spoke in a slow, measured tone. His voice was clear, but to Shalma's ears, the words carried an entirely different weight.
After a long pause, Shalma's eyes grew cold. "What if I don't?" she asked softly. "What happens if I refuse to inherit these shares?"
