Chapter 58
\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 58<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
Last time, I said I\u2019d sign the deal for Mistbane Pack and Mooncrown Pack, but only if Philip handed me 30% of the company\u2019s<\/p>\n
shares.<\/p>\n
But, he backed out right after. Now he claims he\u2019ll only give them officially to me once I go through with the ceremony with Jake.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d fallen for his tricks once before. There was no way I\u2019d be that dumb again.<\/p>\n
Philip choked on his words when I pressed him.<\/p>\n
Quickly, he put on a serious, heartfelt expression, trying to play on my emotions.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, you need to focus on the big picture. You\u2019re my daughter. Half of Mistbane Pack\u2019s fortune will be yours eventually. What we need right now is the rest of the money from Mooncrown Pack. I already promised you the shares\u2013you\u2019ll get them, just not this second. Why are you being so hung up on this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he sighed and added, \u201cIf it were Jillian, she\u2019d understand my efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n
I could\u2019ve cracked up at that.<\/p>\n
It was clear that deep down, he still valued Jillian, his fake daughter, the most.<\/p>\n
That day at the conference, Philip had already prepared the share transfer contract for Jillian, but he was wary of me at every turn.<\/p>\n
I lightly tapped my fingers on my arm, speaking calmly. \u201cIt\u2019s not impossible for me to go after the remaining funds.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d His eyes lit right up, his voice softening, \u201cDeanna, you\u2019re such a good daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
I grinned and said, \u201cDad, don\u2019t get ahead of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow about this? We sign the share transfer contract today, and then I\u2019ll go. What do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
Philip\u2019s smile instantly froze, and his eyebrows furrowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, why do you have to be so stubborn? Forget this for now. You\u2019re leading the \u2018Moonline Expansion Project.\u2018 Do you want to see it stall halfway? Go get Mooncrown Pack\u2019s money first.\u201d<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t even blink, insisting, \u201cNo, the shares must be transferred first.\u201d<\/p>\n
He glared at me, like he was trying to read my mind.<\/p>\n
I stared right back, not budging an inch.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, you\u2019re the one who taught me business is about profit. I\u2019m just doing what you taught me. If you want results, you gotta put something on the table first, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Philip\u2019s face turned ashen.<\/p>\n
Finally, he ground his teeth and muttered, \u201cAs expected of my daughter, you are a fast learner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then he stalked to the marble desk, grabbed the phone, and ordered, \u201cTell Legal to draft a contract for the transfer of 30% of the company shares.\u201d<\/p>\n
The moment I signed, I felt like I was floating.<\/p>\n
From today on, I was the second\u2013largest shareholder of the company.<\/p>\n
But this wasn\u2019t enough. This was just the beginning.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d thought a lot about things lately.<\/p>\n
If my family won\u2019t give me love, I\u2019ll take money instead.<\/p>\n
I used to be clueless, never pushing back on anything.<\/p>\n
When I first came back to Mistbane Pack, Jillian picked on me constantly, like she couldn\u2019t stand my existence.<\/p>\n
I was afraid of making things worse, so I even moved out voluntarily.<\/p>\n
Now that I think about it, I did a lot of dumb things like that.<\/p>\n
Why should I let myself suffer, when I could flip it around? Making someone else miserable feels a whole lot better. That saying was dead\u2013on.<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, I drove to Mooncrown Pack\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n
This tower was the tallest building in the heart of downtown. Its exterior sleek and futuristic, giving it a grand and imposing feel.<\/p>\n
I stepped into the lobby. Three girls with perfect makeup lined up at the desk, like a little beauty parade.<\/p>\n
One of the long\u2013haired women seemed to recognize me. Before I could even speak, she flat\u2013out refused.<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss, why are you back? Even if you showed up a hundred times, our alpha isn\u2019t here. And even if he was, he wouldn\u2019t waste time seeing you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t waste breath arguing. I just pulled out my fixed phone and made a call.<\/p>\n
The three of them kept whispering, glaring at me with disdain.<\/p>\n
Right after I ended the call, the elevator doors slid open and out came a man in a sharp suit, moving with steady confidence.<\/p>\n
It was Aaron Graham, Luis\u2019s assistant.<\/p>\n
He came straight over and said politely, \u201cMs. Wiley, Alpha asked me to personally take you upstairs.\u201d<\/p>\n
I glanced at the reseptionists and saw that the three girls\u2018 faces froze instantly, their eyes filled with shock and disbeliet<\/p>\n
