Chapter 26: Handling
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Are you sure you want to sell it?” Edwin was surprised to see Caroline take out the equity ownership document.
When he had talked about Lambert Corporation’s business the other day, he had not been speaking without thinking. He knew that she had 40% of the shares and did not want to see her get implicated by Balor.
Originally, Edwin wanted to see how Caroline would handle this matter based on her current personality. He didn’t mind helping her and supporting her in the process. However, he didn’t expect Caroline to be so decisive and give up her shares.
After receiving Caroline’s confirmation, Edwin was very curious. “Can I ask why?” In the eyes of outsiders, this was definitely an act of great squandering.
“I’ve roughly understood the scope of Lambert’s current operations, and from what I can see with my shallow business mind, even without the big trap you mentioned, the prospects of Lambert are not optimistic. The elimination of the industry is cruel, and with the old management model, it is obviously being abandoned by the times.”
This was also the main reason why the company’s annual profits had fallen so drastically. This was also why Balor was anxious. That was why he had taken the risk of transferring most of the company’s cash flow to invest in the newly developed projects.
It was not completely impossible to develop the company again, but it would take a lot of energy and time. First, she had to drive Balor and his forces out of the company. Then, they would avoid the crisis and carry out drastic changes.
Caroline’s education from a young age allowed her to have a basic business mind. However, her previous home field was the military and the battlefield, not the business world. Therefore, even someone as confident as her was not confident that she could bring a company back to life.
Furthermore, Caroline had more important things to do. She was not prepared to waste so much energy on dealing with someone like Balor.
She had taken over the little girl’s body, and her responsibility was to help the little girl get back what belonged to her. The responsibility of reviving the Lambert family shouldn’t be borne by her alone. Thus, Caroline decided to keep the things that belonged to the little girl.
“If you’re sure, I can find a professional team to evaluate and negotiate the price as soon as possible.” Edwin tapped his hand on the equity book. “But have you thought about the situation you’ll face after you sell your shares?”
“It’s just a few more crazy people.” Caroline’s lips curled up.
“It seems like you’ve already prepared yourself.” Edwin accepted the share transfer agreement and the power of attorney. He raised his chin and pointed at the luggage bag by her feet. “If you need a place where you won’t be disturbed, I can help you.”
Caroline shook her head. “There’s no need for that now. I’ve already decided on a house and I can move in anytime.”
Caroline believed that since Edwin was willing to help her, as long as she agreed, he would definitely find a suitable place for her to rest.
However, for families like them, the word ‘appropriate’ meant that it would cost a lot.
Caroline was faced with a very realistic problem. She did not have much money on her, so with her current financial ability, she could not afford to live such a luxurious life.
As a child of the Lambert family, Caroline received a sum of pocket money every month. However, ever since she lost favor with Balor, her pocket money had been reduced by half, and it was often deducted. Therefore, the original Caroline didn’t have much money left in her account, and she didn’t intend to use the money.
“By the way, how’s the ring from yesterday?” Caroline still felt more at ease using her own money.
“I’ve found a buyer, and the procedures will be completed by today. If you need the money now, I can write you a check later.” If things had gone according to plan, it wouldn’t have been so fast, but with Edwin’s intervention, things were different.
Edwin took the coffee from the servant, put in a sugar cube, and stirred it slowly. He asked casually, as if he was just curious, “May I ask where you got this ring?”
Caroline’s heart skipped a beat, but she did not show any emotions on her face. She said casually, “It’s a gift from someone else.”
It was unknown if Edwin believed her, but he only commented, “It seems that the other party is quite generous, giving such a valuable item at the first time.”
Indeed, she had spent a lot of money at that time, but unfortunately, she had entrusted it to the wrong person.
