I smiled as I looked at everyone else. Most did not meet my glaze since they have already connected the dots. Others just smiled because they knew that Martha was making a fool of herself. I straighten as Leo leaned his arms on the table and rested his chin in his palm. I turned my gaze back to Martha. I walked around the table and to her. She turned her chair slightly to continue glaring at me.

I held out my hand to her as I said in a sweet voice, "Hello Martha. I am Hannah Marie. I own 33% of the shares of Ward Corporation. Getting consent to gift or sell one's shares is merely an act of kindness done. Leo can do whatever he wishes with them since he is the majority share holder. And besides, it's your husband who holds the shares not you, so act accordingly." She looked at me as if she had seen a ghost as she shook my hand. The rest of the table started laughing at her reaction. As I dropped my hand back down to my side, I said, "It is a pleasure to meet you all. Now can we please get this meeting started."

Leo started to peak as I sat down in my seat. "First order of business, T.A. Shipping." I stiffened in my seat. I realized at at that moment that Leo knew that I was given 40% of the shares in T.A. Shipping by my grand father when he passed.

Leo was interrupted by a man next to him who was looking at a piece of paper. "Sir, T.A. Shipping is not on the agendas today."

"Well I am adding it since this meeting needs to be cut short today. There I only a handful of things I need done." Leo replied. "I want to rename it to Huntington Group."

Leo was once again stopped by another man. "Mr. Ward, we would need to get Mr. Park's daughter's approval to change the name.

I spoke up so that Leo wouldn't have to explain it to the man. "I am Kaiden's daughter and I approve of the name change."

Everyone in the room looked as if they were sitting between the two most powerful people. I understood why they thought that as well. T.A. Shipping owned many oil companies around the word and owned many of the worlds shipping companies.

My father was loosing contracts with some of the major companies when James bought it. Which made Ward Corporation one of the most powerful and richest companies in the world. Not many people knew that I owned more of T.A. Shipping than my father. When he sold his shares to James, I was allowed to keep mine. It did not surprise me that the people in this room knew of it.
