"What do you think is better for me not to know? I want to know whatever you know.” He took her hand and tightened his grip.
"I told you already, I didn’t mean to hide anything from you. You weren't even awake when I headed out!" She forced a smile and continued, "I couldn’t just wake you up, now could I?"
"Yeah."
In the car, Henry went through the financial report of Tate Industries from the year before. After that, Henry said in disgust, "Avery's company is profiting, but it's far from Sterling Group."
"But we aren’t getting the entire Sterling Group either, Dad! I think Tate Industries isn’t bad. The others say that this company is the number one in the drone industry. I think that we can consider it." Cole was pleased at the thought of the reward awaiting them.
Henry snorted. "Are you sure that you can manage a technological firm like that?
This type of company relies completely on its core technology. If the following development can't catch up, your competitors could easily surpass you. Cole, who do you think you are? Even if Tate Industries is going great right now, it will soon crumble to the ground if it falls into your hands."
Cole had not expected his own father to look down on him to such an extent.
"Dad, I am no match to Elliot, but am I no match to Avery too? Did Avery make the core technology of Tate Industries? Stop joking around! Avery stays at home to take care of her kids and doesn’t even bother with the operational matters of her company!"
"You don't think that the talent in Tate Industries would leave after you take over the company? Once her team leaves, she could easily just open another Tate Industries, and her new company is bound to defeat you in a very short period of time! " Henry grew increasingly insecure.
"I can just sell Tate Industries right away once I have it! With its current value, we could make a fortune!" Cole didn't want to let go of Tate Industries. "Elliot would never give his company shares to us. So we might as well get Avery's company out of this deal." "It's no wonder that you aren't meant for greatness considering how shortsighted you are! If we get Elliot's shares ?b+;QJR= sell them, wouldn't that give us more money than selling Avery's company?"
Cole's blood boiled with excitement at his father's words.
"You're right, Dad. It's not safe for us to hold Sterling Group's shares either; we might as well sell them immediately. There are plenty of people out there who would kill for Sterling Group's shares!"
"Let's just take Adrian for the tests first! There's no point for us to get all excited if Adrian’s kidney turns out to be incompatible as a transplant for Shea!"
