Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 330 - 329: Laying a Trap

After driving Zoe out of the Joyce Family, Joel Quinn uneasily walked into the bedroom.

Claire Sullivan’s bedroom was very large, divided into two rooms. The outer bed was Joel Quinn’s, and the inner one was Claire’s, and there was also a piano in Claire’s room.

"Claire." Joel Quinn knocked on the door. Claire glanced at him indifferently and continued to remove her makeup.

"It’s my fault for not teaching my daughter well, making you feel wronged."

Joel Quinn came in, stood beside Claire, and said apologetically while bending over, "I’ve already driven her out."

"There’s no need to drive her out!" Claire replied, "I’m upset that the daughter I’ve raised for so long said I’m just a toy."

The words "toy" made Joel Quinn’s face change, and the smile on his face grew wider, "She’s just talking nonsense. In my heart, you are the queen."

Joel Quinn often used such flattery on Claire, and his sweet words worked well on her.

Claire liked to hear them!

However, she realized that the dream she had woven for herself, no matter how glamorous it looked from the outside, was ultimately false.

"Alright." She gave Joel Quinn a smile, "Zoe was drugged. I’m angry, yes, but I never thought of actually driving her out of the company."

"And we have more important matters at hand."

"Right." Joel Quinn nodded in agreement.

"Joel, we absolutely can’t let Serena Sullivan get control of The Sullivan Corporation. My relationship with her is so tense; if she takes over, where will we stand?"

Joel Quinn was well aware of this, even more anxious than Claire.

"Claire, about the shares..."

Joel seized the opportunity to bring up having Claire transfer her shares to him, but before he could finish, she continued, "I was just about to discuss this with you."

"Mr. Chen has ten percent of the shares, and he’s willing to offer them to us."

In recent years, The Sullivan Corporation hasn’t been performing as well as it appears on the surface. Without a few projects from Ethan Grant, it would have declined long ago.

This time, with the shareholders’ meeting approaching and the temptation of high prices, many shareholders want to sell their shares.

"Really?" Joel Quinn was delighted.

"But the price isn’t low."

Claire mentioned a figure, and Joel’s brow furrowed.

Indeed, it was a steep ask.

"I don’t have much cash on hand, Joel. Why don’t we sell The Sullivan Residence?"

Claire suggested.

If they sold The Sullivan Residence, they would certainly have the money, but Joel knew very well that The Sullivan Residence could be sold for a much higher price in the future. Selling it now would be a loss.

"No way." Joel outright refused.

"What if Ethan Grant buys Mr. Chen’s shares before us?" Claire said worriedly, "Then Serena Sullivan will surely be in charge of The Sullivan Corporation."

"Let’s sell the houses we’ve acquired after getting married." Joel thought for a moment and made a decision.

After their marriage, Claire and Joel bought three houses in Solaria under both their names, although the money for buying the houses came from Claire.

"This?" Claire said helplessly, "It’s still not enough!"

"Sigh!"

"For the rest, I’ll figure it out," Joel said. Over the years, without Claire knowing, he had purchased several properties for Ruth Hale and Zoe.

By selling all of those and adding Ruth’s savings, it should be about enough. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Okay."

A smile appeared on Claire’s face as she proactively held Joel’s hand, "Joel, you’ve really worked hard."

"If there’s anything difficult, you must tell me."
