James and Helen fled home and sat in the living room, looking dejected. Then, Demi and Liam entered the house.
“James and Helen!”
When James and Helen saw Liam, their blood instantly boiled.
“Liam, how dare you show your face here?!” Helen roared angrily. “Look at what you’ve done! Because of you, the shareholders were provoked, and James and I were kicked out of the company! What should we do now?!”
Demi chimed in and said, “He’s right. Is there something wrong with the shareholders’ brain? Matthew ruins whatever he does and is not capable at all. Why do they believe in him?”
James and Helen looked depressed. “Enough! Stop with all this nonsense! Because of your terrible idea, the shareholders won’t let us interfere with company business anymore. What should we do now?”
After giving it some thought, Liam smiled and said, “James and Helen, I came here exactly to discuss this with you. I thought about it and realized that even if the shareholders allowed you to stay in the company, you would be left with no power. So, instead of staying in the company, we might as well start our own business!”
James’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good idea! It just so happens that Cunningham Pharmaceuticals had an argument with their suppliers and is looking for new suppliers right now! Instead of letting others make money, why don’t we get a slice of the pie?!”
However, Helen seemed worried. “We probably need a lot of capital to purchase herbs. How are we supposed to raise the money?”
Still smiling, Liam explained, “Helen, you don’t have to worry about the capital. We can link our company to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals and become their subsidiary. That way, we can allocate funds from the head office and have capital to start our business! Then, the shareholders at the head office won’t be able to tell us what to do. Won’t that be nice?!”
