Chapter 1041 You’re the Girl I Love Most (XVII)

• He tuned out the rest of the meeting. What followed was basically Zachary Mingjie and his people putting on a show. Zachary had already bought out the original shareholders at sky‑high prices. None of them were fools. They all knew Liam Collins couldn’t make a comeback, and even if Madison Sawyer did return to Regal Peaks, it would do them no good. Regal Peaks was circling the drain; the stock wasn’t going to rebound. Who knew how much farther it would fall before it was worthless? So when Zachary named his price, almost no one hesitated. One by one, they signed the transfer agreements.
• Zachary then had his team scoop up a hefty chunk of shares on the market while prices were low. Add that to what he and Zachary Chengwen already held, and he now controlled 35% of Regal Peaks—overnight, the biggest shareholder.
• And that was only phase one of his plan. Next, he bought off members of the Regal Peaks board. That led to this emergency meeting, where they cleanly toppled Liam Collins. In the subsequent vote for board chair and trusted CEO of Regal Peaks Group, Zachary won without a doubt. In other words, he’d taken control. Sure, the price Chenkai had paid was steep. Money had been pouring out like water these past few days. But so what? Now that he had Regal Peaks, the returns would be constant.
