Chapter 326
“Couldn’t sleep last night.” I pretended nothing was wrong.
“Must be your job. Take a few days off if it’s getting too difficult,” said the mother.
“I did, so I’m free for the next few days.”
“Is that so?” Dad finally spoke up. “Come with me to the company then. I want to check something.”
“Um, thanks, but no thanks. I’m going to stay home for a while.”
“You don’t even have to do anything there. You just need to know the place and the people there.”
“Yes. You have nothing to do at home anyway, so go with your dad. He forgets a lot of things when he
goes into work mode, so remind him of that.”
“OK then.” I ended up giving in.
It wasn’t the first time I had come to my father’s company. I would make frequent trips here before I
married Carson. It had been five years since my last visit and the company had changed a lot. Not only
was it renovated, but the receptionists and secretaries were also changed.
The hostesses greeted us as we entered. My dad waved at them before leading me to his personal
elevator. His office was on the top floor, and when we got there, we bumped into my uncle, who was
surprised to see me. However, he smiled after a while. “Lily!”
“Uncle Jared!” I smile at him. “Are you here to see Daddy too?”
“What? He works here now,” my dad replied.
That was a shock. I thought Uncle Jared had his own company, so why was he working here? The Qur
family company, Hawkins Enterprise, was founded by my grandfather. Before he passed away, he left a
will that gave my father fifty percent of the company’s shares, while the remaining shares were divided
equally between my two aunts.
The company was not doing very well when my father took over and profits were low. Aunt Luna and
Uncle Jared’s marriage was a marriage of convenience. Back then, Uncle Jared had his own company
and it was doing well. He was an ambitious man, and since his company needed funds, he persuaded
his wife to sell her shares to someone else for cash.
When Dad found out about this, he scolded his sister and bought back the shares at a premium. Since
then, my father owned three-quarters of the company’s shares, while his other sister owned the
remaining quarter. After that, the company grew explosively, much to Aunt Luna’s dismay and
regret. She wanted to buy her shares back from her father, but the price has skyrocketed ever
since. Dad said she could return them as long as she paid market price for them. Furious that she
couldn’t shell out that much money, she tried to deceive Dad in every way she could.
Thanks to that, our family never spoke to her family, but I never expected Uncle Jared to work at Dad’s
company. It got me thinking: What about his company? Are you broke?Chapter 326
