Boardroom Showdown

Chapter Fourty

Steffy's POV

We pulled up into the driveway of Brooke's house and Elizabeth huffed obviously annoyed and angry.

"I can't believe I let you guys talk me into negotiating with terrorists." She said and I didn't blame her for being so pissed off but we had no choice. We need to get Wyatt out and prove his innocence and Hope is the only one who can control that situation.

"Hey this sucks for all of us Liz but we have no choice here." Bill yelled as we all exited the door, me and Bill walked in first followed by Thomas and Elizabeth. When we went in we saw a little boy sitting on the chair in front of the entrence. For some reason he looked familiar, and no older then two. Suddenly blonde bitch one and her blonde bitch came in the room.

"Storm, say high to your family. This is your aunt Elizabeth and Grandpa Bill." She said shocking all of us except Elizabeth who obviously guessed like me that Hope was lying.

"What the hell is this? You are using a kid to try to guilt us into writing the company stock in your name. Not happening slut." Elizabeth spat out.

"Yeah Hope seriously this is low even for you." I completed, she smiled as if she guessed that will be our reaction and went to a counter and grabbed an envelope that she threw to Bill.

"Open it. You'll find the DNA test that I did using Wyatt's hair. Storm is his son, and I don't need to tell you that anyway because you all knew I was pregnant. You'll also find Storm's birth certificate in there, check his birthdate. I was in my fourth month when I told you all that the baby died, his birthday is exactly five months after I left. This is your grandson Bill and he deserves these stocks for being the third in line to the Spencer empire." She said while Bill went over the papers. I looked at him waiting for an answer and the one he gave me wasn't the one I expected.

"Dad tell me they are fake?" Elizabeth asked.

"I wish I could Liz, but they are legit." Bill said shocking us both.

"That is your nephew." Bill said as he pointed to the poor kid who looked scared as he looked at all four of us.

"Well if that's the case then.." Elizabeth said and she went over to Hope and slapped her.

"I'm going to ignore that because I'm trying to be civil." Hope actually had the audacity to threaten Liz.

"You have got to be kidding me, you have put my brother through hell over the past few years. You made him think he killed his son! Only to come now and say it's his rights to get all the stock. It should be in his rights not to ever be around you!" Elizabeth yelled out.

"Well by all means I'll give Wyatt full custody if he gives me all the stock." Hope said shocking us all.

"So you are basically selling your son for some stock?" I said disgusted.

"No I'm not, but the family I married into isn't exactly a nice one. I can't get divorced and I can't have Storm around them. He'd be better off with Wyatt." She said stroking a bit of sympathy but not enough to do shit.

"For once we actually agree on something Hope my grandson is better off with his family. But if you want the stocks you will have to go to Wyatt. I wrote them all in his name a month ago." Bill said shocking Hope.

"Well look with my mum marrying Ridge again we have 20% of the stock in our favour all I want is at least 50% of the company under our control. Convince your son to sell and I will happily drop the charges and give him Storm on the condition of course that he let's me see him as much as I want." Hope said.

"Well Hopeless the problem with your little plan is that I'm going to take my nephew either way. And the second part is that Ridge doesn't own these twenty per cent anymore and Wyatt isn't the owner of the stock either." Elizabeth said and we all looked at her confused at what she was saying.
