?Chapter 1056:


    Jeffery drew in a shuddering breath, his entire frame trembling with the force of his confession.


    Tears gathered at the corners of his reddened eyes, threatening to spill over at any second.


    Through gritted teeth, he forced out his final, desperate plea. “Linsey, if there’s any chance you could find it in your heart to forgive me, to forgive Mom and Dad for all we’ve put you through, I’ll sign over everyst share I own in the Lawson Group. Everything will be yours!”


    The moment Jeffery finished speaking, both M and Cruz turned toward him, their faces a mixture of surprise andplicated emotions.


    M’s lips parted as if she wanted to chime in, but whatever words she considered never made it past her tongue.


    Cruz breathed out softly, his sigh barely there, and in the end, he simply acquiesced to Jeffery’s choice.


    Linsey, on the other hand, kept her cool. Nothing about her demeanor changed as she took in everyone’s reactions.


    “You honestly think I’m after Lawson Group’s shares?” Her gaze slid over to Jeffery, her voice calm and unreadable.


    A beat of hesitation crossed Jeffery’s face. He rushed to rify. “Linsey, that’s not what I meant at all. I just—”


    What he wanted was to show her, even after all his past mistakes, that he meant to make things right. The only thing he truly owned—his only real asset—was those shares in Lawson Group. That was all he could offer now.


    He had no illusions that Linsey was greedy or ambitious. He just wanted to give her something that mattered.


    Before he could get the rest out, Linsey interrupted him, a subtle smile appearing on her lips. Her words came slow and calm. “That’s enough. Where’s the share transfer agreement? If you’re serious, have yourwyer bring the paperwork. I’m not the type who gets moved by sweet talk alone.”


    Jeffery hesitated for only a moment before pulling out his phone. “Draw up the agreement and head over right away,” he instructed after dialing hiswyer.

    Once the call ended, his attention shifted back to her, his tone earnest. “Linsey, I’m serious about this. If you’ll ept my apology, I’ll agree to anything you ask.”


    Without looking his way, Linsey traced a circle along her water ss. “You’re just going to hand the shares over to me? Don’t you think you ought to run this by Alicia before you do anything drastic?”


    Linsey nced over at Alicia, catching the faint surprise flickering in her eyes. She continued, “You and Alicia are married, after all. The shares you own in the Lawson Group belong to both of you.”


    A quietugh escaped Alicia as she replied with an—


    Easy grace apanied Alicia’s words. “Jeffery’s shares are his alone to give. There’s really no need to check with me.”


    Jeffery’s lips curved into a small smile as he met Alicia’s gaze. “Our family has spent a fortune on my treatments all these years, and honestly, I haven’t done much to move thepany forward. I probably should have given up those shares long ago.”


    His smile turned warmer as he faced his sister. “You’re a Lawson too, Linsey. The shares belong with you.”
