It could be said that whoever knew Alger was shocked by Alger’s action.

Especially Alina, she dared not to believe it. When the CEO of Youssie Corporation saved Alina previously, she had already developed feelings for this person. And now, she was told that this person was actually Alger?

Winnie frowned and looked at Alger without covering the shock in her eyes.

However, Alger directly walked to Lisana and whispered to her under everyone’s gaze.

Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely surprised in their minds.

Especially Cyril and Aries, they both looked pale and their heads were even covered with cold sweat.

After all, with their identity, they both knew who Lisana was. She was the secretary of the CEO of Youssie Corporation!

So, when everyone saw Alger talk to Lisana so naturally, they were all astonished.

In everyone’s eyes, Alger wasn’t even on the same level as them, but such a person knew Lisana?

They even looked like they were pretty close.

Seeing this scene, everyone was curious about Alger’s identity. Only Winnie couldn’t help but frown as she started guessing Lisana’s identity.

Winnie came to Alger unconsciously as she frowned and asked, “This is?”

Alger smiled and said after hearing that, “This is the friend I told you about before.”

“Friend?” Winnie looked at Alger with confusion.

Lisana seemed to be a bit surprised, but she understood what Alger meant, so she smiled and said, “Yes, I’m Alger’s friend. You can call me Lisana. I’m working for Youssie Corporation right now.”

Winnie nodded. She felt a bit uncomfortable in her mind. She had never thought that Alger’s friend would be such an outstanding woman.

Winnie also realized that Lisana had a lot to do with her being able to enter into contract with Bode Real Estate successfully at the beginning.

This was supposed to be something happy. After all, Alger’s friend was such an impressive person. And yet, Winnie felt a bit uncomfortable in her mind.

That was fifty million dollars.

What kind of a friend would do this?

While Winnie exclaimed how outstanding Lisana was, Lisana was also impressed by Winnie. Describing Winnie in the words in China: she was a pretty young lady brought up in a noble family. Winnie wasn’t the same type of beauty as her.

Winnie gave people a clean and flawless feeling. At the same time, Lisana also saw that the relationship between Winnie and Alger wasn’t simple.

As a man, Alger had no idea that Winnie and Lisana would have such thoughts in their minds just after a glance.

Alger didn’t plan to tell others his identity at this time. After all, judging from the personality of the Duke of Rolle, he would definitely use Winnie to get benefits for his family after knowing his identity.

This was something Alger didn’t want to see. After all, people like the Duke of Rolle had indeed gone too far, so Alger planned to teach them a lesson.

So, Alger told Lisana about the matter briefly just then, letting Lisana take care of the rest.

Same as the others, the Duke of Rolle was very shocked in his mind at first, but when he saw that Alger wasn’t walking towards him but Lisana, he was finally relieved.

Then, he looked at everyone again and said, “Please welcome the CEO of Youssie Corporation to the stage for a few words!”

This CEO was the only person in the Duke of Rolle’s eyes right now. He didn’t care about anyone else.

However, no one went on the stage.

Everyone couldn’t help but start discussing.

“Why isn’t anyone going up yet? Perhaps their CEO didn’t come to the banquet?”

“I guess Youssie Corporation doesn’t take the Rolle family seriously.”

“That must be it. Who’s Youssie Corporation?”

The Duke of Rolle heard these voices of discussion clearly and the smile on his face also gradually froze.

At this moment, everyone saw Lisana walk towards the stage.

“Everyone, I believe you all know that I’m the secretary of the CEO of Youssie Corporation, Lisana.”

Hearing that, everyone looked at Lisana one after another.

They were all part of the upper-class of society, so they certainly knew Lisana.

“In fact, our CEO has something to deal with right now, so he is not able to come here. So, I’ll be the one to tell you the following matters.”

After hearing that, the complacent look of the Duke of Rolle was restored again. Even though the CEO wasn’t here, it was fine that his secretary came. This also proved that they were valued by Youssie Corporation.

In an instant, the Duke of Rolle was even more proud.

On the other hand, Cyril and the others were much more relieved at this moment. Luckily, Alger wasn’t the CEO of Youssie Corporation.

Lisana on the stage said slowly, “First, our investment in Rolle Corporation this time is to a large extent related to a favor. So, all 7% of the shares received by the Rolle Corporation will be given to Miss Winnie.”

What?!

Everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

Didn’t they buy the shares with fifty million dollars? Why would they give them away so casually?

And it was even given to Winnie, the least adored member in the Rolle family?

What was going on?

Did the CEO of Youssie Corporation have feelings for Winnie?

But it shouldn’t be. Wasn’t Winnie married?

Everyone was very shocked.

Hearing these words, the Duke of Rolle felt extremely complicated in his mind. He thought of the things he did before about how he didn’t even invite Winnie and the others to the banquet.

The Duke of Rolle regretted it very much in his mind. At this moment, everyone also understood that people at Youssie Corporation only agreed to invest because of Winnie in the Rolle family!

Aries was completely dumbfounded as well. He was originally proud that he snatched the things that were supposed to belong to Winnie. Who would have thought that Winnie would directly become the company’s shareholder now?

Now that she had become a shareholder, she certainly wouldn’t care about any project!

As for Cyril, he had always thought that Winnie should be grateful that he liked her. Who would have expected that the CEO of Youssie Corporation was also chasing after Winnie?!

For a moment, Cyril started to regret the fact that he had provoked Winnie. This was totally fighting for someone with the CEO of Youssie Corporation!

If the CEO was angered, the Wells family would be doomed completely with a few casual words from him!

In fact, not only were these people stunned, even Winnie was completely confused.

However, what really shocked them happened next.

Lisana looked at everyone and said, “As for the white jade you saw just then, it’s actually not a present for the Duke of Rolle. Our CEO’s mother learned that Miss Winnie’s birthday was coming, so she picked this as a gift herself and asked someone to deliver it to the Rolle family!”

Huh?

Everyone was stunned again.

Why would it be like this?

The Duke of Rolle was showing off complacently just then, but now, he was embarrassed.
