Next Man, Better Plan novel Chapter 193

Those were founder’s shares in Ironhold Investment Group, not something you could just buy with money.

Owning those shares meant having a say in the company, and Jonathan had given them all to Stephanie?

Quennel suddenly found he couldn't understand him at all. What was Jonathan playing at? Using founder’s shares as bait to lure a woman? That seemed unlikely.

Could it be that he really… felt something for Stephanie?

In a daze, a memory surfaced in Quennel’s mind.

Of course, it couldn’t be a coincidence. The moment his relationship with her hit the rocks, Jonathan swooped in and managed to marry her within a month.

Quennel was suddenly reminded of the motorcycle race back in high school.

He and Jonathan had both competed. In the final lap, they were neck and neck in first and second place. Quennel was in the lead, just a breath away from victory.

But on the final turn, Jonathan made a death-defying move, cutting him off from the inside of the curve.

There was hardly enough space to overtake, and at that speed, a sideways flip could have been fatal. Yet Jonathan used that reckless maneuver to beat him.

Quennel couldn’t understand it. It was just a race. Did he really need to be so serious?

Afterward, he angrily confronted Jonathan.

“You’re a madman!” Quennel had yelled. “If you want to kill yourself, fine, but a stunt like that could have taken me with you!”

But Jonathan just shrugged. “What’s the matter? Can’t handle losing?”

At the time, Stephanie was at the finish line, part of the cheerleading squad, cheering for the racers.

As Jonathan spoke, Quennel vaguely noticed his gaze linger on Stephanie for a few seconds.
