Hollywood Zenith

" It's nothing for you to marvel at. There is also four percent shares that we traded from Count Hay yesterday." He threw another heavy bomb at her. She began to piece together why the phone call this morning was so weird. It turns out she was really left behind!

" Last night? Is that why he had been acting like....I understand." She felt complicated at the moment. There was still a side of her that refused to budge to him but hearing everything, she finally understood that she was never a opponent to this young man from the beginning.

She sighed looking at her god-like enemy, he didn't even do anything spectacular but within a day in Paris he was able to turn the tides and ruined her carefully planned battle that she had been laying down for better past of last month.

If he was telling the truth, he already owns fifteen percent of the shares, plus thirty percent from Delphina's court and now her own six percent would end up to more than fifty percent granting them a absolute majority!

It's no wonder he was smiling and laughing, if they teamed up they could upturn the board of directors. It was outrageous to think that LVHM which had a market value of thirty billion would become a playing field for him to show his capabilities.

She and others didn't even know anything about his plans. How was he able to do it in such a short period of time? She felt a little dizzy thinking about it.

" Are you really going to do it?" Her eyes had a hint of enthusiasm.

" Yes, just as you think, we will fully expose our shareholding position during the party and control the board of directors putting Delphina as the chairman." When Samuel said it outright like he was going on a grocery run, the girls were startled again. Alexis only wanted to control the LVHM to make a fortune, she never thought about swallowing the whole Group.

Even through Hermes family they wouldn't be able to cough up billions of dollars, it was too difficult. One had to admit to gather fifteen percent of the shares, he seriously had to invest huge amount of money, having that much liquid money lying around was not possible for most of the people.

But now that he had done so much, he was going to promote Delphina to the position of chairman. It would be a thunderous news in the upper circles, even her father didn't have such monopoly over the Group, a new emperor, a true emperor would be born in fashion industry!

Delphina on the other hand was quiet, her breathing was a little rapid hearing Samuel proclaim it so nonchalantly. Her sights were barely on being an heir and then make her mark to the top but he was saying to skip all that and directly oust her father to grab the top seat?

Delphina mind was too muddled to think about what was the implication of him saying such a crazy thing. It's like he was going to replace the president while acting as the puppet master behind the scenes!

" Samuel! This is crazy...no you are crazy! Why didn't you tell me this before?" Delphina mumbled somewhat incoherent.

" Why? Are you not capable enough to lead? Don't you already have this ability?" He looked at her seriously, she needed to calm down and compose herself and have enough self confidence because LVHM Group wasn't a small corporation.

" Samuel, do you think I can do it?" She asked with some hesitation. Things were moving too fast for her to comprehend. Seeing him smile and exude strong energy, it was hard for her to believe that the person sitting across from her was five to six year young than her.

" You can do it. Delphina, not only me, but I think there is one another person who shares similar belief to me." He said with a smile.

" One more person? Who is it?"

" You will know when the time comes." He didn't reveal the answer.

" Mr Samuel, now that I know your plan I want to ask what's in it for me? Changing the outcome will have severe event on share price of the company. It's hard for me to predict." Alexis suddenly voiced her own complaint.

She was thinking about her own investment, it was easier for her to support Delphina, hell, she even think deep down Delphina was the right choice but feelings are forbidden when doing business.

She needed to have enough incentive to support Delphina or else her investment would surely be a loss defeating the real purpose for her being here.

" It's simple. After Delphina ascends to the throne, my investment firm along with Hermes family would issue a statement at the same time that they are optimistic about the LVHM franchise and have invested huge amount of capital. We will not participate in daily operation but that wouldn't matter to the wall street right?

You can guess what would happen to the stock price right?" Samuel gave a straight answer.

Achilles firm had a golden reputation in the financial market. With it's halo effect any short sellers would think twice about investing their live blood in the aftermath. He was confident that Delphina would be able to stabilize the situation in few weeks.

" I have to ask my family if they are willing to take such a risk." She dared not to make a choice on her own. Even if it was disrespectful she was willing to do it for the sake of her family.

" Just call them and ask them. I will not force you. If they didn't agree ask them to transfer the shares in hand I will buy it at premium." He replied confidently. He had ample money to burn.

She nodded and went outside to contact her family. While she was busy Delphina wanted to ask him few things but soon Elise came over as she was feeling bored.
