The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 265

Bailey knew exactly how much Marie had sacrificed for Ramos Corporation, and there was no way he could just watch it fall apart. Still, the thought of stepping in to save Reese… well, that left a bitter taste in his mouth. He thought about how Reese had treated him before, and resentment simmered beneath the surface. For a while, he just didn’t know what to do.

“Dad, Bailey?” Sofia’s voice floated in as she walked in with a bowl of fruit. “What’s got you two so tense?”

Bailey’s face lit up when he saw her. “You’re just in time. Come help us figure out what to do.”

He trusted Sofia’s instincts, so he quickly explained what had gone down at the conference.

Sofia’s eyes sparkled with mischief as she listened, then she smiled. “I might have an idea. Not sure if it’ll work, though.”

She looked at her dad and said, “You don’t want to watch Ramos Corporation go down the drain, but you also don’t want to bail Reese out and let her think she can always rely on us. She’ll just get even more out of hand.

“So why not just buy out Ramos Corporation while we still can?”

Bailey stopped in his tracks and looked at her. “You mean, acquire it?”

Sofia nodded, her voice steady. “Zach already cut off their funding, so Ramos Corporation is basically running on fumes. If we offer enough money and promise the shareholders their interests are protected, they’re not going to say no.”

“Better that Ramos Corporation stays in our family than gets swallowed up by outsiders.”

Bailey’s eyes brightened. “That’s a solid plan.”

When she saw Bailey agree, Sofia’s lips curled into a sly smile.

This way, Reese would lose everything except her empty title as Blade’s project manager.

Bailey thought for a moment, then turned to Hank. “Reese is in way over her head now. She’s got nowhere left to turn.”

“Go talk to her about selling the company. Tell her if she agrees not to divorce Sebastian and to have another kid, the children can each inherit the Ratcliff family’s legacy and Marie’s. If she does that, I’ll let her keep a share of Ramos Corporation.
