The Secret Billionaire in Disguise

CHAPTER 5: DIVIDENDS AND MONEY

"Daniel!”

Sophia looked at the man in disbelief. She was familiar with his appearance, his voice. But what was strange was the hostility in his words.

Was it for her?

A hint of sweetness appeared in her heart.

"Daniel, do you have the right to speak here?

Get out of here!"

Before Maxwell could speak, Ethan spoke coldly.

This fool was almost despised by the entire

Hughes family!

Daniel hadn't spoken yet, but Joseph had already spoken anxiously, "He can't leave!

Daniel, what did you mean by what you just said? Are you provoking us?"

He wanted to put Daniel on the opposite side

of the entire Hughes family in his words and actions!

Sure enough, many people were looking at him with unfriendly eyes.

Yes, how dare this pig talk to them like that!

"It's okay," Daniel comforted Sophia softly, then replied indifferently, "Did I say something wrong? You were all so united just now in speaking for Michael, I thought he was your father!"

He suddenly turned to the silent Maxwell and said, "Isn't that right?"

He was very unhappy, extremely unhappy.

While he was not here, his wife was blatantly bullied!

And this Maxwell, as the second oldest person there spoke condescendingly and always sided with Ethan and his group.

Such a person was not worthy of his respect.

"I've already said it, Daniel, you have no right to speak here, get out!"

Noah would never argue with him. Whether he won or lost, it would be a matter of losing face. He signaled to Ethan, who immediately understood. "Daniel, today is our family's business, it has nothing to do with you!" "Who said it has nothing to do with him? He is my husband!" Sophia didn't have time to ask how Daniel suddenly appeared here and spoke directly. Today Daniel was more in line with the image of her prince charming in her heart, and even made her heart beat faster. So even when Daniel hugged her, she didn't have an extreme reaction. After all, she was still Daniel’s wife.

Her previous disgust was at most a matter of hating iron for not becoming steel. When it came to deep hatred, it simply didn't exist.

"Yes, so of course I am not an outsider." Daniel was very satisfied that his wife didn't drop the ball at a critical moment, and was also somewhat surprised that Sophia, who was hugged by him, didn't get angry. It should be noted that in the past, whenever he touched her, Sophia would show a very disgusted expression, and the two of them had been sleeping in separate rooms since they got married. He saw that Ethan was a little speechless and looked at Joseph.

"Wasn't Maclean grandson deliberately brought here by you yesterday?"

“What!

You better not talk nonsense!" Joseph's face

changed immediately. Yesterday was supposed to be a good birthday banquet, but halfway through, Samuel suddenly appeared and even had an argument with Daniel. As a result, Daniel almost died in a car accident that night! "Yes, Samuel said it himself, didn't he? It was a friend of his cousin who told her!"

John quickly spoke up for him. Ethan also nodded repeatedly, "I believe Samuel wouldn't do such a thing." All of them were trying to help clear his name.

But Daniel didn't care. He had just spoken to let Sophia hear it. Who were they to question him?

"That's enough,"

he said, looking at Sophia, who seemed to be as comfortable as a cat being stroked. "I said this to tell Joseph and all of you that…

He looked at the surroundings and no one dared to meet his gaze. They were all looking at him with disgust written on their faces, who had now entered here like a god, and with a few words, he was going to take someone away.

They wanted to shout in anger, but they were completely suppressed by Daniel’s momentum. There was an inexplicable feeling that lingered around Daniel, and no one dared to meet his gaze.

Daniel was very satisfied and didn't even look at his uncle, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "All the shares are gone," he said, which made everyone stunned, including Sophia, who was in his arms. He hadn't discussed this with her before, but considering what had just happened, she agreed.

The room exploded, "How is that possible? I don't agree!"

"That's well said," Daniel agreed. Before anyone thought he had softened, he calmly said, "I'm just informing you, not asking for your agreement."

"You!"

Joseph almost couldn't catch his breath, and everyone else was also inwardly cursing.

"Even raising a dog is better than you all.

You're all wolves with greedy eyes, wanting to eat the meat and even planning to eat the master who feeds you."

With this sentence, Daniel shouted at everyone, even the oldest elder finally got angry.

"Daniel, you've gone too far!"

When he said this, everyone felt a bit strange.

Too far?

Wasn't this the sentence that Sophia often said to them when they bullied and despised him?

Now the roles were reversed, and they were the ones being bullied and it was "too far"?

But the situation now was so strange. The idiot who they had previously seen as useless and humiliated was now "bullying" them!

"Another of the uncles said, the money that Sophia gave you is still there!"

Daniel looked at him indifferently, making the first elder speechless. This threat was too direct. But it hit his weak spot because although the first elder had a high status, he had no children and relied on the money to get by.

It was also because of this money that Joseph and the others had been around him all the time like mosquitoes smelling blood.

Otherwise, with Joseph's flamboyant personality, how could they possibly go out of their way to please an old man like him?

"Let's go first."

Seeing that he didn't speak anymore and didn't care about the chaotic words of others, Daniel hugged Sophia and wanted to leave.

After all, the first elder was the oldest person here. If they didn't deal with him first, others would probably poke their spines behind their backs in the future.

"Wait a minute!"

Ethan panicked. "What about my money?!"

He hadn't received his money from last year

yet.

This time, Joseph came up with a clever idea and got hold of the dividend plan for this year from someone else, so that's why they made such a fuss!

"Your money?"

Daniel almost laughed out loud. "Do you even have the face to ask for a bonus?"

With the way you just spoke with us, you don't look like you want a bonus at all!

"Yes! My money cannot be missing!" Ethan felt justified. He was Sophia’s second uncle, and he should have a share of the bonus no matter

what "Let's talk about it when we get back." Daniel said impatiently, and now everyone was unhappy.

Are you going to cancel our bonus when you

get back?

Because what Sophia implemented was a virtual equity distribution, they only had the right to dividends, while the actual equity was still in her hands.

As long as Sophia gave the order, not only this year's dividends but also the previous ones would probably have to be returned!

Everyone was scared. But when Daniel saw that they wanted to rush forward, his face immediately darkened as he looked at Uncle.

"Dividends?

You don’t want them anymore?"

He threatened so bluntly, and the first uncle's face changed slightly. He finally sighed,

"Stop it, everyone."

Unfortunately, not a single person listened to him.

This is about my future money! How could I give up just because of an old man's words?

Noah's face immediately turned gray

and defeated, and Daniel successfully achieved his goal.

From today on, Uncle Noah’s prestige is as good as gone.

The fig leaf that was barely maintained by dividends in the past has now been mercilessly lifted by him.

Although Uncle Noah, who is old and cunning, can guess what's going on, he has no choice but to fall into the trap for the sake of his

money.

If only he had known earlier!

Seeing the pleading or threatening attitude of the person in front of him, Daniel’s expression remained unchanged.
