Once the room finally settled down, Reese set her teacup aside. Her voice was calm and cool, carrying to every corner. "Did you all forget? When Ramos Corporation almost went under last time, I was the one who saved it.
"And this time? I haven’t hurt a soul. Everything that happened was Tara’s own drama. So tell me, what exactly do I owe you?"
"Tara’s own doing?" Cameron let out a sarcastic laugh. "Reese, we watched Tara grow up. We know exactly who she is."
"Yeah, that’s right," Josh agreed, nodding. "Things are different now, Reese.
"Sure, you bailed us out when the company was in trouble. But that doesn’t mean you get to push Tara out and drag Ramos Corporation into this mess.
"Tara was supposed to marry Zach. That would’ve made Ramos Corporation and the Wiles family one big family—money would never be a problem. But you ruined all that. Now we really might go bankrupt!"
Reese glanced at the men who’d built this company side by side with her mom and grandpa. She smiled, but it was cold, the kind of smile that never reached her eyes.
They’d watched Tara grow up, sure. But hadn’t they watched her grow up, too? The truth was, they just trusted Tara more. Dylon had given them so much that they’d forgotten everything her grandpa and mom had ever done for them.
"Ramos Corporation is my grandpa’s and my mother’s legacy. I’m not giving it up."
Josh snorted. "That’s not your call."
He slammed his hand on the table. "Every shareholder here agrees. Even if you have more than forty percent, it’s out of your hands now!"
"I think the company would be better off with the Meyer family anyway."
Reese’s eyes flashed with sarcasm. Just as she expected—they’d forgotten the agreement they’d signed when they first got their shares from her grandpa.
"Maybe you all forgot. According to the company charter, as long as I’m the legal representative, it doesn’t matter if I own zero shares. I have the final say on any transfer of ownership."
