His arm reached out from the car window, handing over a pack of tissues.
She hesitated for a moment, wanting to refuse, but still took them, "Thanks."
The tissues still carried the warmth of his palm.
His gaze quickly withdrew from her face, the car window closed, and the car sped away.
10 AM.
The Dennis Group.
The employees were still holding on to their positions.
The company hadn't paid their salaries for over a month, but because The Dennis Group was a well-established business, despite all the negative news circulating online, the employees were not willing to give up.
If Violette didn't know the company was deep in debt, she would never have guessed the calm atmosphere was actually all a facade.
Violette entered the conference room accompanied by Reaves.
The lawyer saw Violette and said bluntly, "Ms. Dennis, I'm sorry for your loss. Your father entrusted me to announce his will."
Violette nodded.
The lawyer opened the file and began to state, "Your father has a total of six properties, located in... Here's the file, please check it."
Violette took the file and carefully checked it.
"Your father also has three parking spaces." The lawyer handed her another file, "As well as eight shops and twelve cars."
Violette never really knew much about her family's wealth.
On the one hand, she wasn't interested.
On the other hand, her father had never told her in detail.
Now that the lawyer was telling her what her father owned, her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
She didn't expect her father to be so rich.
With so many fixed assets, why didn't he sell them to pay for his treatment?
"Besides these assets, there is also this company we are in now." The lawyer paused, "Your father planned to leave this company to you. However, the company is currently operating at a loss."
Violette looked at the lawyer, "How much is the loss?"
Reaves adjusted his glasses and continued, "The current loss is 800 million. If you want to take over your father's company, you'll also have to accept his debts. The houses and cars I mentioned earlier may have to be liquidated to cover the company's losses."
Violette froze.
800 million!
Even if she sold all those houses and cars, it wouldn't be worth 800 million!
"Violette, you can choose not to accept. That way, your father's debts won't fall on you."
Reaves looked a bit disappointed, "But I hope you'll think about it. The company is your father's life's work, can you bear to see it go bankrupt?"
"What about Alexa and Sabrina?" Violette took a deep breath and asked.
"Don't get me started on your stepmother! The company's current state is half her responsibility. In the past few years, she let her brother work as the financial officer, and he embezzled a lot of money from the company. Now he's nowhere to be found." Reaves sighed.
Violette held her forehead with both hands, her voice trembling, "I don't want my father's company to go bankrupt either, but where am I supposed to get so much money?"
"Then borrow it!" Reaves said, "The company's new product development is almost complete. As long as we can borrow the money, our financial difficulties will be greatly alleviated once the new product hits the market."
Violette looked up incredulously, "Who would lend me that much money?"
Reaves said, "Banks. If banks don't lend, look for other investors. Let's try first, and if it doesn't work, then you can give up. How about that?"
......
The Bourne Group.
