These relatives by marriage of the Lin Family did not hold many shares individually, but together, their shares were even close to approaching Lin Shiyan's.
In front of interests, let alone distant relatives, even blood brothers have been known to turn against each other.
Under sufficient temptation of interests, there would definitely be someone who would transfer their shares. After all, though they were nominally shareholders of Shiyan Group, in reality, they had no say whatsoever; it would be better to just turn their shares into cash.
Lin Shiyan had naturally considered this situation long ago, and she had originally planned to hold all the Lin Family shares in her own hands, but her father had refused.
The reason was that it could foster a sense of belonging to the company in everyone, making them feel that they were all part of Shiyan Group.
That made sense in theory, but reality was another matter.
