Chapter 188
"Empress Entertainment will probably file for bankruptcy in no time. There is no way we can recover from this," Lance said.
"You seem to be awfully relaxed given the circumstances we’re in," one shareholder skeptically commented. "Don’t you realize that you are the one who destroyed everything? You will also lose a lot of money!"
"I know, but that’s not the end of the world for me," Lance shrugged. "Don’t you remember who I am? I am Lancelot Grant, the second son of the Grant family. Even if this company crashes and burns, I will still have enough money to support my lavish lifestyle for generations. So I don’t give a damn if this company is destroyed."
"YOU—!" The old shareholders were about to get a heart attack from this careless bastard. "Theodore should’ve taken over this company! He’s right. You’re nothing but a good-for-nothing rich kid!"
"Now, now, don’t bring my brother into this. I doubt he’d be willing to take over after such a huge fuck up," Lance chuckled. "What’s the point of trying to resuscitate a dead horse? This company is gone, and so is the value of your stocks."
The shareholders went quiet after that because they also knew that would be true.
Theodore was very busy with many businesses he had to handle after his father, Henry Grant, stepped down.
So even if this one failed, he still had other business to take care of. Theodore wouldn’t care about Empress Entertainment, which was just a small fry.
Lance noticed the depressing atmosphere in the meeting room. He knew it was time to strike the iron while it was hot.
So he said, "Well, I called this emergency meeting without prior notice for a reason. I know that I am the one who caused the company to get destroyed. So I will compensate all of you," Lance paused for a moment, waiting for the shareholder’s full attention before continuing, "I will buy all of your shares, but not with the full price. Instead, I will buy it based on our current stock price in the market."
