Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yvette Larson was still in a daze after watching her mother-in-law’s actions. She had never imagined the latter would resolve her troubles so easily when she had spent several days thinking of futile solutions.
“Is there no more?” Wendy Jensen frowned as she asked.
Her daughter-in-law turned to her husband and asked in a whisper, “Should I tell her about the Larson family?”
Finn Taylor nodded.?‘By the looks of it, my mother is indeed planning on moving here for good. Since that’s the case, there is no point in hiding that from her. Alright then. Since you like to do it, I’ll leave everything to you.’
“This company used to be my family’s, but they sold it. Most of my relatives sold their shares and received cash in return, but there were a few insignificant ones who chose not to sell their shares and were even promoted because of that. When our company ran into some trouble, everyone from the family left—including those who chose not to take any money. At that time, the company was on the verge of closing down, and nobody said a peep about their shares. But now that we’ve grown our company to be worth billions, they’re asking for two million dollars for their shares.”
Wendy Jensen chuckled and grabbed a laptop from someone beside her.
Tap tap tap.?
Her fingers flew furiously across the keyboard. Not long after, she turned to her daughter-in-law. “Call your relatives and ask them to take their money.”
“Huh?” Yvette Larson was stunned.?‘Didn’t my mother-in-law do a good job in resolving the previous two problems? Why did she suddenly give in to them?’
“Why are you looking at me? Call them.”
Trusting Finn Taylor, she made the call.
Those people from the Larson family were initially still afraid that Hunter Sullivan was looking to teach them a lesson, but the temptation of two million dollars won out. Hence, they eventually returned.
“Yvette Larson, give us the money.” The leader of the group was Spencer Larson, and he immediately asked for the money upon walking in.
“So you guys are the ones who hold 0.1% of our company’s shares.”
“That’s right. Who are you?”
“I’m the financial consultant here. I’ll bring Mr. Jensen over later, and he’ll settle the accounts for you.”
“Mr. Jensen? Who’s that?”
“The manager from the bank, of course. The company has gone bankrupt, and we owe the bank 300 million dollars. Because of your shares in the company, you have to help pay 150,000 dollars.”
Wendy Jensen’s words scared them, but they calmed down very quickly. “Are you trying to trick me? The company was doing fine just now. Why would it suddenly go bust?”
Wendy Jensen turned the computer screen over to face them. “What’s so strange about it? We lost more than 80% of our projects, and the bank has started to chase us for repayment. We don’t have any liquid assets now. Why don’t you give me a solution? What choice do we have other than declaring bankruptcy?”
Although these people from the Larson family weren’t very capable, they still understood the information on the screen after working in the company for years.
The company indeed owed the bank 300 million. Now that they had no liquid assets, it was likely that they would declare bankruptcy at any time.
“Yvette Larson, this company has nothing to do with us. Didn’t we say that we didn’t want these shares when the company was sold? How could you have forgotten about that already?” Spencer Larson was about to lead his family away.
“Hold on; we can’t just take your word for it. You had better sign this document as proof.”
In the end, the entire family signed away their shares before scrambling out of the company.
“You guys have so many problems. Are there any more?”
Yvette Larson pointed at the computer and asked, “Are we really declaring bankruptcy?”
“They’re fools but don’t tell me that you’re a fool too?”
Hearing her mother-in-law’s chiding, Yvette Larson finally understood that she’d underestimated the former. “One last thing—my best friend has gone missing.”
Hehe!?
Wendy Jensen chuckled. “I’m tired. Take me home.”
‘Isn’t she going to solve my problems anymore?’?Yvette Larson’s gaze was filled with confusion.
Her spouse shook his head with a chuckle. “Don’t mind her; she’s used to doing this. After settling most of your problems, she’ll leave one to her subordinates. No matter what they do, she’ll always point out some errors before dealing with it herself so that it’d make her stand out.”
Shock!
Yvette Larson was in utter shock. She couldn’t even imagine what kind of family her spouse had grown up in to have raised people like Finn Taylor and his mother.
With that, the trio returned to Number One Pacific Heights.
Just as they arrived at the gate and got out of the car, Linda James happened to walk out of the house.
She spotted Wendy Jensen at once. “Y-you…”
Her legs trembled at the sight of the other woman. It was obvious that the latter had made a deep impression on her the previous time.
“Why are you here?”
“What, am I not allowed here? My son bought this house. Is it wrong for his mother to stay here?”
Linda James wanted to retort the other or even chase her away, yet she couldn’t even bring herself to utter a single word. She was just a coward and didn’t even dare to make a sound when faced with someone like Wendy Jensen.
As they entered the house, Francis Larson and Diane Taylor spotted Wendy Jensen too. Even they were so frightened that they didn’t dare to speak up.
“You don’t have to be so nervous. I’m here to stay for good this time, not to make trouble.”
Hearing that, Francis Larson and Diane Taylor shrank back even more.
It was Linda James who spoke up. “Are you going to be here often?”
“What, am I not welcome?”
“N-no… You’re welcome here.”
Finn Taylor turned to his mother. “Since you’re going to stay here, you had better remember that we’re a family. Nobody should need to tread carefully around you.”
“Am I making them do that?” She turned to her in-law. “Am I?”
The latter was on the verge of tears, and she quickly shook her head in terror. Wendy Jensen exuded such a strong aura that it frightened her. “Of course not! You’re really kind!”
“See that? I’m not making their lives difficult.”
Her son sneered. “Diane, tidy up a room for her.”
The young girl nodded and quickly headed off.
“I’m not against you staying here, but remember that I’ll chase you out the moment you try to do anything funny. Don’t forget who once laid here!”
