Chapter 166: WHO SAID THAT I USED FAIR MEANS
Dove looked at Jacob as he spoke with her hands folded, and her face void of any much expression or urgency, like she was listening to a child blabber rubbish. She saw how Noah spoke, trying to avert the topic, but unsurprisingly the topic did not get averted, as she understood that everyone was curious about it. But she also understood what was Jacob trying to pull.
Now everyone turned to look at Dove, hearing her chuckle, they saw her shrug while staring straight at Jacob as she said, "I am sorry for laughing. Actually, I just found it very funny when I heard you say that you know that you have some responsibility towards the company. It was... um, surprising, I must say."
Hearing her say that, Jacob frowned and his face went dark, while a few of them who knew what she meant pressed their lips together to contain a smile from appearing on their lips. While others in the room, who did not know what was she talking about look around in confusion.
Then Dove let out a sigh and shrugged her shoulders once more before saying, "Well, you see. This is not brought with money from the company’s funds, Mr Jacob, that I would need to need to report it to the board of directors and shareholders. It is a gift to the company, so please enjoy it." She said with a lovely smile.
Jacob squinted his eyes and sneered, "Wow, Miss Dove, you must be really very capable for having the Davis’s gift you ten percent of their shares from the company. If my memory serves right, as long as I remember, you don’t seem to have a very good relationship with the Davis’s for them to be so generous to you."
Dove raised her eyebrows in amusement, before she sneered and said, "Who told you, Mr Jacob, that the Davis’s gifted me these shares. It is gifted by me to the company. Initially, I was planning to have it under my name individually, but then I thought it would be better under the company. So here it is." Anyways, both were hers.
The people in the room looked at Dove, in speechlessness, and for a moment they did not know how to react. And Jacob gritted his teeth with a frown on his face. This woman!
And just before he could open his mouth to speak something else, Dove said before, "And as you asked how I myself acquired these," answering his main question, Dove smiled sweetly once more, then saying, "I never said that I applied fair means to get it, everyone."
