There was a long silence in the conference room.
Miles had a somber expression, clearly showing a strong sense of displeasure.
Anastasia sat in the furthest corner. Since Harriette's return, she was no longer the favored daughter of the
family. It was as if she had beca completely
different person.
But no one paid attention to her. Today, she was just there to make up the numbers.
Kelly frowned, but inside, she was overjoyed.
Among everyone in the conference room, she was the most excited to see Chloe
arrive. She had put in effort to ensure Chloe could make it today.
She finally brought up the thing that mattered most to her through Chloe.
However, she couldn't show her happiness outwardly.
On the surface, she was filled with righteous indignation as she said, "Aunt Chloe, Rose hasn't been dead long,
and you're already bringing this up? Isn't this behavior a bit too unseemly?
"Rose inherited Young Group. Young Group belongs to Rose. How could you... How could you..." she accused
anxiously, as if on the verge of tears.
Chloe's expression looked unpleasant, and she didn't care if she might upset Miles. She spoke bluntly, "But she's
already dead!"
"She's dead! Rose is dead!" Chloe repeatedly emphasized.
Was a dead person really still entitled to everything from the Young family?
That inheritance was for the living!
Kelly was so angry her hands were trembling. "How... how... how can you say something like that? Even if Rose is
dead, there's still Mr. Finch and Miles..." Jonathan.... That was someone that even Kelly couldn't quite understand.
He was actually the legitimate primary heir of Rose's inheiritance. This issue needed to be resolved!
Chloe chuckled softly. "Mr. Finch? Really? A distinguished member of the Finch family wants to take over the
Young family's inheritance? If word got out, the Finch family would lose all credibility. Besides, has he ever shown
up since Rose passed away?"
No, he hadn't!
The only news about Jonathan was his car accident that happened that day.
After the car accident, there was no other news from Jonathan.
Everyone was speculating that in that car accident, Jonathan was seriously injured. Kelly also felt that there
couldn't be any other explanation for his absence.
Otherwise, despite how much Jonathan cared about Rose, he didn't attend her cremation ceremony.
"The Young family cannot fall into the hands of the Finch family," Chloe stated firmly and with a cold demeanor.
She fully understood that among the people present, Miles was the one in charge, while Harriette was just a little
brat who couldn't really make any major decisions.

Chloe glanced briefly at "Harriette" and focused her efforts on overcoming the challenge of dealing with Miles.
"Miles, think about Mr. Young Senior. Young Group is the work of his lifetime. We're all close to him, and you're his
favorite. You need to make sure to protect it for him!
"| admit that among all of us, when it comes to contributions to the Young family, showing respect to Mr. Young
Senior, or receiving his affection, you did the best.
"My expectations aren't that high. When dividing up Young Group's shares, you can take the majority, but
everyone else is still part of the Young family, so they should have stoo."
After her previous attempts ended up with nothing but trouble, Chloe had gained sinsight since then. She
had to take whatever she could get.
If Rose didn't die, she wouldn't have gained anything. But fortunately...
"Okay."
Amid the silence, Mile suddenly spoke up.
Everyone present was taken aback.
"Miles..." Kelly was so shocked she even let out a gasp. "What did you say?"
Did he just say "okay"?
Kelly wanted to find out whether it was all in her head or if he really did say it. "Okay!" This time, he spoke a bit
louder.
Everyone watched as Miles's lips parted, and the word "okay" cout of his mouth.
Chloe was surprised that he gave in so easily.
She had prepared a whole lot of things to say and had plenty of backup plans. She was fully ready to be in a
prolonged conflict with Miles. But unexpectedly, he agreed!
"Good, good. As long as you understand." Chloe breathed a sigh of relief.
He agreed so quickly that, for a moment, she didn't know what to do next. Fortunately, she quickly composed
herself.
"Miles, how would you like to allocate the shares for Young Group?"
Chloe's tone softened considerably as she looked at Miles with an expectant expression.
Miles lowered his gaze, appearing
like a soulless machine. "Besides the shares held by the elders, you, the
aunts, and both Harriette and
Anastasia each hold 5 percent of the
shares."
Five percent?
At that moment, Chloe couldn't figure out how much Miles had left for himself.
Regardless, five percent definitely wasn't acceptable.
Almost instinctively, she immediately insisted, "No way, it has to be at least ten percent!"
Otherwise, he might as well be giving leftovers to a beggar!
She thought she would have to argue with Miles for a long tagain, but then
she heard Miles say, "Alright. Ten percent."
After saying this, Miles stood up and walked out of the conference room.
Chloe was taken aback. "Miles..."
Miles agreed so readily, and she could have asked for more, but...
Chloe looked up and saw Miles' lonely figure, which really tugged at her heartstrings.
"Ten percent? Hmph, ten percent it is!" Chloe reassured herself, thinking it was much better than having nothing
at all from before.
Furthermore, once she obtained the initial ten percent, there was potential to gain even more beyond that.
She shouldn't get greedy at this moment and lose the ten percent she had already secured.
Chloe walked away feeling satisfied.
Anastasia walked out of the
conference room and glanced in the direction of Miles' office. Surprisingly, despite having received
ten percent of Young Gro received
shares, she didn't feel as happy as one might expect.
Miles truly cared deeply for Rose.
During this period, he had noticeably
lost weight, and his overall vitality,
and spirit had diminished; ¢ebPhe

And what about "Harriette"?
Anastasia turned around and saw "Harriette" in the conference room, looking quite concerned.
In those eyes, there was a clear expression of dissatisfaction.

She was dissatisfied? Was she dissatisfied with the ten percent?
Of course, with all the effort she put in, she probably wanted to take over everything related to Young Group. Ten
percent? That wouldn't be enough for her.
Kelly clenched her teeth in frustration.
That wasn't enough at all! How could it possibly be enough?
But with Miles already having spoken out and Chloe agreeing, what else could
she do?
For a moment, Kelly didn't know what to do.
After spending stin the conference room, she purposely made a cup of coffee and knocked on the door
of Miles' office.

Kelly then threw away the cup of coffee. She stepped forward and grabbed Miles to leave.
Miles sat motionless in the chair. When Kelly turned around and caught a glimpse
of his gaze, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Miles... why are you looking atlike that?" Kelly asked.
