Chapter 181: The Larson Family Declares Bankruptcy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Eleanor Larson had already been humiliated because of that incident with Alexander Scott, and that frustrated her deeply. Yet, she had chosen to push all blame to Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson instead of reflecting on her own actions.

Now that she spotted her cousin loitering at the building entrance instead of working, she saw her chance.

She immediately mocked her cousin, yet what she got as a response was only Yvette Larson’s sneer.

“Just wait to declare your bankruptcy.” With that said, Yvette Larson turned to leave.

Eleanor Larson was stumped.?‘What does Yvette mean by that?’

She headed up to Quince Larson’s office, only to see his face plastered with a wide smile. “You look happy.”

.

“Let me tell you something—Yvette Larson is gone!”

Eleanor Larson was taken aback. “What do you mean?”

“Yvette Larson tendered her resignation.” Quince Larson had always been thinking about how to kick his cousin out of the company, but he had never found a good excuse. Now that she had taken the initiative to quit, it had nothing to do with him.

“Our collaboration with the Sullivan family won’t be affected, will it?” Eleanor Larson suddenly thought of what her cousin had said earlier, and she couldn’t help but worry.

“We’ll be fine. She was the one who quit, so what does that have to do with me? Besides, these things are the company’s internal affairs. Do you think the Sullivan family can really have any say in it?”

Still, Eleanor Larson couldn’t rest easy.

Finn Taylor spotted his wife’s relaxed expression as soon as she walked into the house. He had never seen that on his wife before.?‘What is going on with her? Why is she so happy?’

“Did something good happen? Why don’t you share it with me too?”

Yvette Larson replied, “I resigned from my job.”

“Resigned?” Finn Taylor was stunned. ‘Why?

‘Why did she suddenly resign from her job?’

“That’s right; I quit.”

Just then, Finn Taylor suddenly remembered that his wife had told him about running into some problems at work just a few days earlier.?‘It now seems like there is much more than what meets the eye.’

Finn Taylor noted down in his heart to deal with this matter. He wasn’t going to let anyone bully his wife.

…

The next day, the Larson Corporation called for a board meeting.

Many people arrived at the meeting room—apart from Yvette Larson.

This intrigued them.

Quince Larson cut to the chance and quickly announced, “I have an announcement to make. Yesterday, Yvette Larson handed me her resignation because she was unable to resolve the matter with Stephen Turner. As the chairman, I deliberated for a long time and decided to accept her resignation. From today onward, Eleanor Larson will be the CEO of our company.”

This was huge news! Who would’ve thought that things would take such a turn?

Someone asked, “What will happen with the Sullivan family’s project? They were furious when we sent someone other than Yvette Larson last time. Will there be trouble now?”

Quince Larson waved that person off confidently. “The Sullivan family won’t be a problem. Yvette Larson tendered her resignation on her own accord, so it has nothing to do with us. These are our company’s internal affairs, and the Sullivan family has no right to interfere in them. Besides, the Sullivan family was just uneasy because we changed the person-in-charge of the project too quickly after starting the project.”

“Now that we’ve made so much progress, I’m sure the Sullivan family can see just how much importance we’ve placed on the project. Changing the person-in-charge doesn’t mean much as long as we earn money. We’re all businessmen—profits are the most important thing to us.”

Everyone nodded fervently at Quince Larson’s logical explanation.

Just then, someone pushed the door to the meeting room open.

Quince Larson’s assistant rushed in and whispered something to him.

The latter appeared agitated upon hearing this.

“What’s wrong, Quince?”

Quince Larson replied, “Mr. Hunter Sullivan is here.”

Whoosh!

The door to the meeting room was wide open, and Hunter Sullivan walked in with a group of people.

Everyone was stumped by the situation.

Quince Larson put on a smile and walked over. “Mr. Sullivan, what brings you here? You should’ve told my subordinates you were coming. I’d have gone to welcome you personally.”

Quince Larson knew just how crucial this project with the Sullivan family was to his family. As such, he didn’t dare to act too arrogantly in front of Hunter Sullivan. “Mr. Sullivan, why are you here?”

Hunter Sullivan pointed at the men in suits beside him. “Let me introduce you to some of my friends—Robin, Terry James, and Javier Tyson.”

As Hunter Sullivan pointed each of them out, Quince Larson greeted them respectfully. These were all friends of Hunter Sullivan; he couldn’t afford to offend any of them.

Only when Hunter Sullivan was done with his introductions did Quince Larson test his luck. “Mr. Sullivan, may I ask who they are?”

“Oh, they’re my company’s legal consultants. I thought I’d introduce them to you.”

Quince Larson was slightly confused, not understanding why the other had the need for legal consultants.

“Quince Larson, I’m terminating our collaboration with the Larson family. If you think it’s unfair, you can sue me. My legal consultants will handle it.” With that, Hunter Sullivan turned to leave.

Quince Larson was still in a daze. “Mr. Sullivan, what’s wrong? Did I do something that upset you? I’ll change. I’ll definitely change.”

Hunter Sullivan laughed. “Didn’t I warn your family a long time ago? I only decided to work with your family because I thought well of Yvette Larson. Since she’s resigned, I’m terminating the contract. If you’re unhappy with my decision, you can always sue me. Whether it’s a million dollars or ten million dollars in compensation that you want, my legal consultants will help you with that.”

With that, Hunter Sullivan left.

Only three words popped up in Quince Larson’s mind:?‘We’re done for.’

It was true—the Larson family was doomed.

Everyone knew full well that the Larson family had invested all of their funds into this project. Once they broke even in three years’ time, the company could even be listed. But now that the contract was being terminated, their funds were locked up.

The Larson Corporation was in grave danger of going bankrupt.

As for suing Hunter Sullivan, Quince Larson had never once considered that.

The other was a prominent figure in New York, while the Larson family was merely a second-tier family in San Francisco.

They were worlds apart. Leaving aside whether they had any chance of winning the lawsuit, the Sullivan family could crush them at any time.

Just a moment ago, Quince Larson had triumphantly announced Yvette Larson’s resignation. But now, his company was on the verge of toppling.

The entire Larson family glared at Quince Larson.

They were no fools, and they could all guess that Yvette Larson’s resignation had something to do with Quince Larson.?‘This time, he has really dragged all of us down with him!’
