When she heard that, Yvette Larson stood up. “Since that’s the case, I guess there’s no need for us to be here any longer.”
“Hold on. Why are you in such a hurry? We can always discuss the price. How about 100 million?”
“Quince Larson, I’ll give my final offer. If you don’t agree, I’ll leave. 500 million—that’s the lowest I’ll go.”
This time, Quince Larson didn’t reject the offer right away. He glanced at Eleanor Larson without saying a word.
“I know the company isn’t worth that much, but it isn’t far from that. However, I can always find another buyer if you don’t want to match the price. But I’m sure you don’t want the Larson Corporation to go to someone else, right?”
Those words struck a chord with her cousin. What he cared most about was his status in the family. He didn’t want his family’s company to fall into someone else’s hands. If that happened, he was sure that the family would criticize Yvette Larson for her incompetence, but he’d also be criticized for not buying the company.
Eventually, Quince Larson forked out 500 million dollars to acquire the Larson Corporation.
The news shook the entire city. After all, the Larson Corporation was no longer just a small company. It was one of the top five companies in the whole city.
Moreover, the one who had acquired the company wasn’t just a nobody.
Quince Larson had once been an insignificant character, but he had suddenly become a wealthy man overnight.
Although nobody knew the origins of his money, it didn’t matter.
Money was king.
Now, even those who used to look down on him were flocking to curry his favor. Of course, the acquisition only meant that even more people were trying to get into his good books.
On the day of the acquisition, these people specially went down to the company with their gifts to congratulate him.
That naturally pleased Quince Larson, who cared most about appearances. In the past, many in the family had said that he was useless and that he never would’ve been given a chance to inherit the family if not for the fact that he was the only male in his generation.
If they went by their abilities, Yvette Larson was clearly more capable than him and would be in line to become the company’s chairman. But now, the company had still landed up in his hands.
Didn’t that just go to show that he was more powerful than his cousin?
Finn Taylor, Andre Cavill, and the four guardians were gathered in one of the rooms at Andre Cavill’s bar. They were watching television while drinking.
It was a livestream of the re-opening of the Larson Corporation.
“To be honest, I have to take my hats off to Yvette. You’ve been planning this for such a long time, but you went missing. I thought that our plans would be ruined, but I never thought that Yvette would be so determined and go through with the plan.”
“Yes, I really respect her too. Without your support and your approval, I don’t think I’d dare to bankrupt my company.”
Every owner had feelings for their businesses. Even if they were to earn money from a sale after running their company to the ground, they’d definitely feel uncomfortable.
That was why everyone admired Yvette Larson. If they were put in that position, they never would’ve been able to do the same.
“Watch on. There’s more to come.” To be honest, even Finn Taylor was surprised by his wife. However, he understood that she had truly matured after his departure.
She could consider the company’s future and make plans for it.
Actually, Finn Taylor had been worried that his wife wouldn’t want to sell the company because of his absence. If she did so, all that money they had lost would go to waste.
Of course, Finn Taylor had already made plans for that situation. However, they seemed unnecessary now.
“Mr. Larson, congratulations on acquiring another company.”
“Mr. Larson, I heard that this is your family business. It looks like you’re going to be the family head now.”
People came up to flatter Quince Larson, putting him in a good mood.
Just then, something major happened. One by one, the employees walked out with boxes in their hands.
They smiled as they walked past Quince Larson. “Quince Larson, I’m quitting.”
“Quince Larson, I’m quitting too.”
“Quince Larson, you can take over the company’s reins.”
One, two, three… The number only grew.
Eventually, even the security officer and janitor left. That was when they realized that something was amiss.
It seemed as though the entire company had resigned.
So what had Quince Larson purchased? A company with no employees?
What was a company with no employees? This would spell trouble for their projects.
The company had recently been suppressed by Melanie Taylor, and Quince Larson had naturally been heavily involved in that.
Now, the company had no projects, no partners, and no employees.
Quince Larson had spent 500 million dollars on a paper company.
Everyone could feel a chilly aura from Quince Larson—he was fuming.
Not wanting to get involved, the people around him retreated cautiously.
This enraged the man even more. ‘They must be ignoring me now because they think I’ve made a bad investment. They must think that I’m stupid.’
That only fueled his anger, and the angrier he got, the further people distanced themselves from him.
It was a vicious cycle that was eventually broken when Quince Larson started smashing everything in the office.
Seeing that, the visitors quickly left, frightened that they would be beaten up as well if they stayed any longer.
Finn Taylor couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw the stick in the man’s hand.. He believed that Yvette Larson had left it behind on purpose because she had already guessed what her cousin would do.
