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?!”
Ashamed, Liam hurriedly replied, “James and Helen, I didn’t know that things would turn out that way!
Who would’ve expected that the shareholders would trust in the loser Matthew so deeply?! I was only
thinking of helping the family save some money. I thought we could save 100 million by letting Matthew
take the blame!”
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 couldn’t help but feel startled. “Start a business?”
Meanwhile, Helen glared at him and asked, “Have you lost your mind? How will we raise the money to
start a business? Besides, no business is easy to do right now. What if we lose money?”
With a proud smile, Liam said, “James and Helen, I already have an idea. This business does not require
capital and we won’t lose any money!”
“Really?” James and Helen were intrigued. “What kind of business is it? Were you fooled by someone
again?!”
Liam smiled and replied, “This time, nobody can fool us. We can start a herbary company and purchase
herbs to provide to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. Think about it. The other herbary companies are most
worried about sales. With the help of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, we won’t have problems with sales.
This business will definitely rake in money and we won’t lose anything!”
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?!”
