Chapter 167
"If we sell the company’s shares, it’ll be taken over by outsiders! Do you really want strangers to run our company?"
Grace casually replied, "Well, what else can we do? If you’re incapable of running the business properly, it’s better to hand it over sooner rather than later to prevent bankruptcy. If I die, I won’t be able to explain this to the ancestors of the Harris family."
Perhaps not expecting Grace to respond this way, Attlee and Olga felt uneasy.
"I’ve been capable of running this company all these years, you know that. It’s just a tough economic climate now."
Before Attlee could finish, Grace laughed, "Is it really the economy? Did you not notice that our luck has run dry since you sent Rose away? You kicked out our goddess of fortune, and you don’t even
realize it."
"Don’t get too upset, your health is important."
Attlee quickly tried to soothe her: "Olga and I holding shares means we can continue to manage the company as major shareholders; this would take some pressure off you, and we can make more
money to take care of you. Plus, the company won’t be taken over by other shareholders, and we can solve our current predicament. Isn’t that a win–win?"
He repeated to Grace what Olga had previously said.
"If we could solve our current predicament, we wouldn’t need your shares, right? But we are out of options; it’s a last resort. And if the company goes bankrupt, even if we have loads of shares, they would be worthless!"
