Chapter 768 A Reluctant Transfer

Susan forced herself to calm down, watching the man getting closer and closer. She even failed to replace a word to start a talk. The distance between them was growing further. Maybe that was her self- knowledge that pushed them apart.

"Take a look," Manuel said, putting down a document before Susan.

Susan fetched it with a blow to her heart at the glimpse of the cover. She firmly believed that Manuel was not interested in the property of their family. The reason for her accusing Manuel and Justine of intentional robbery was to justify her hatred. But she was clear inside the reason was fake.

Therefore, the Letter of Equity Transfer was unacceptable. But she tried to conceal her pain and stayed peaceful.

"Can I say no?"

Manuel shook his head.

"Though I am incapable of running Phillips Bank at the moment, if I learn hard, maybe I can in future..." Susan explained a bit hurriedly.

But Manuel was indifferent, which, to Susan, was a sort of mockery. Maybe in Manuel's point of view, she might be a useless waste, she thought. Without her father, she could not let the bank survive. She buried helplessly her head down and opened the document again, checking through it term by term.

According to the document, her shares would be purchased based on the market value. So it seemed to be a worthy deal. But she summoned up her courage to refuse, "I do not agree."

After all, she was the decision-maker. Nobody could force her to sign, even Manuel. Given her father's condition, if he knew that she sold the bank when he woke up, he must fall down again out of rage. "If you sign for transfer now, you can take this all," Manuel said pointing to an attractive number with his slim finger.

He managed to mute Susan.

"But if you insist not, I have many other ways to press out your equity, then your income might lose half of it, or even more," Manuel added.

That was clear enough that if she was smart enough, she must take it now. Manuel's ability was undeniable. Although Susan had been not focusing on the company's business before, she knew how capable Manuel was from the comments of the other staff and her father.

He could easily take the bank if he wanted.

Susan kept silent. She did not want to give up so easily. Their family had spent so many years creating such a financial giant. If she sold it now, she could not face her father, she deemed.

"The previous 10 billion of deposit to Phillips Bank was from me; the project to cooperate with the venture capital firm was also done by my instruction to Theodore. Therefore, my withdrawal might lead to serious risk for the bank, especially when Edward now is sleeping in the hospital. The bank would face bankruptcy. I'm not scaring you. You can consult other executives or your best friend, Hannah. Your rebellion must make a bigger cost." Manuel added.

"So did you plan it very before?" Susan murmured in mockery, with her heart feeling like pricking.

Manuel restrained his explanation which, as he thought, would not make any sense. Susan might not believe any word from him. So why did he try?

Manuel's silence was translated into confirmation by Susan. She once thought the money should mean nothing to Manuel, and that his love for her was pure without any relation to wealth. Had he changed since he had been badly hurt by her?

Or was she wrong from the very beginning?

No matter whether it was about Henry or Manuel, she had been having poor judgement. And her fault brought in the coming tragedy that she deserved.

Suddenly, she asked, "Manuel, did you ever love me from your true heart?"

This unexpected question played the string in Manuel's heart.

"Maybe that was my illusion," Susan answered herself.

Manuel pressed his lips without a hint to let go of a word. When a man chose to keep silent to a question, it might be out of his reluctance, other than his shyness, Susan reckoned.

She soon accepted that all had been passed. And now she was clear finally that Manuel was indeed not into her. If not, she would not have left alone from the balcony; and he would have paid attention to her change.

With the answer, she could stop dwelling on him, and avoid the guilt for Henry if she did end up standing beside Manuel. Actually, she could not help but feel guilty for Henry's death for she was sure she was one of the important causes. So if she came together with Manuel, she felt as if she was betraying Henry. That was why she kept distant from Manuel ever since.

She had wondered if Manuel would come to her and if they would reconcile with each other. Now she saw how stupid she was. Manuel's love for her had gone.

Then she picked up a pen. There was a slight move in Manuel's eyes because Susan's sudden surrender was a bit out of his expectation. He wanted to say something but failed at last.

Finally, Susan's name was written on the document. She turned out to be a traitor to their family. It was her incapability that forged the tragedy. Manuel was right. Her rebellion would not make difference. The more she fought, the more she lost. If that was her fate to lose Phillips Bank, it would be wise to take more money. After all, she needed a lot of cash, to pay for her father's medical care and her life. She might not stand a life of a poor. That was her, an indulged woman with little endurance of hardship and little self-motivation.

She would be better to give up fighting and just return to her easy and leisure life. Later, she pressed down her fingerprint on her name. Then she handed it to Manuel and asked, "Is that OK?"

Staring at Susan's name on the paper, Manuel was a bit stunned by her easygoing. He stood there and watched the document for so long that Susan became doubted if she signed it at the wrong place. "If there is anything wrong?"

"No." Manuel woke up by her question.

"Do I need to move out from here now?"

Manuel did not answer.

"May I move tomorrow? I want to..." She said but swallowed down the last part of her sentence.

She wanted to stay in the memory of the good old days. Maybe she could take some photos for her father. If someday Edward woke up, he must want to see the place where he had fought most of his life. Sometimes Susan did confess that she was not a good daughter. If she could envision what happened now, she must have worked hard.

But it was too late. Watching the man in silence, she changed her mind and said, "I will move out tonight."

Now the office, as well as the bank were not hers any more. Her occupation must seem unpleasant to the bank's new owner.
