Chapter 282: Disaster after Disaster

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Of course, the Larson Corporation had the right to sue the other companies. After all, they had terminated the contracts without coming to an agreement.

As long as the Larson Corporation went to court, they would definitely win the case. However, there was one problem—time.

The Larson Corporation didn’t have very many projects, much less cash flow. If they were to spend all their time and effort on fighting a court case, they would probably go bankrupt even if they were to win the case.

…

But this was just the beginning.

Willow Stone made a few calls.

Soon after, David Sullivan received a call from the bank, requesting the company to return whatever loans they had taken out within three days.

David Sullivan was confused.?‘The Larson Corporation has never had bad records with the bank and is running a legitimate business. Why is this happening?’

The bank employees didn’t try to beat around the bush, simply saying that the Larson Corporation had lost too many projects at once and was at risk of going under. That was why the bank wanted their money back right now.

It was understandable, but it felt like they were adding to the company’s misery by doing so.

The Larson Corporation was now on the brink of collapse, and of course, Yvette Larson was clear about that.

While she knew that it wouldn’t be easy to navigate this situation, she still hoped to resolve the matter with her own abilities. Ever since Finn Taylor had entered her life, it seemed as though that not only was he the one who came up with ideas to solve her problems, but he was also the one who carried them out.

Yvette Larson didn’t want to be someone who simply relied on others. Hence, she had to settle this trouble alone.

…

However, troubles came wave after wave.

Right then, Yvette Larson was informed about the Larson family holding a family meeting.

She couldn’t help but feel frustrated and was in a dilemma over whether to attend the family meeting. Eventually, she chose to attend it.

If she were to miss it, her relatives would definitely misunderstand that she feared them. Since that was the case, her going would prove to them that she had no fear at all.

As such, the family meeting went on as planned.

The three Larson family elders sat at the head of the table, with Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson sitting beside them. The rest of the family members filled the rest of the table—this included Frederick Larson and Franklin Larson.

Of course, the branch families weren’t sitting at the main table but at the tables beside them.

A seat was left empty beside Eleanor Larson; it was for Yvette Larson.

The latter walked into the Larson family’s residence and simply sat down without saying anything.

“You must be busy, Yvette. The whole family has been waiting for you. Did something happen to your company?”

Yvette Larson knew that there was more to her cousin’s words, but she didn’t want to touch on that topic. It would simply lead to an argument between them.

“Didn’t you want to hold a family meeting, Quince? Good then. Shouldn’t you greet me since I’m the family head?”

Quince Larson was incensed.?‘There is no way I’m going to greet my cousin respectfully.’?

“Forget it if you’re unwilling to do it; I won’t force you. But since you’re so disrespectful, don’t mind me doing the same if we choose a new family head after this meeting.”

She made complete sense. Since the rest of the family didn’t respect the family head, that simply meant that the position meant nothing to them.

In that case, why would she have to respect the person who became the next family head?

Everyone glared at her, yet they were helpless.

“Well? Are we still going ahead with this meeting? If we’re not, I’m leaving. I have other things to attend to. If you want to go ahead with the meeting, stand up and greet me.” It was rare for Yvette Larson to flare up, but she took on her role as a domineering CEO in front of her Larson family relatives.

Although they shared the same surname, they had never rendered her any help. In fact, they were always looking to make a joke of her.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Yvette Larson drummed her fingers against the table. She was in no hurry, and she couldn’t wait to see how her so-called relatives wanted to deal with her.?‘How are they going to start?’?

In front of her, Quince Larson was already gritting his teeth.?‘How dare she humiliate me like this? But if not for this, I won’t be able to humiliate her in the future either.’?

He was stuck between a rock and a hard place, but he eventually stood up. “You’re right—these are rules we have to follow. These rules have been set in stone by our ancestors, so it won’t be right to go against them.”

As he stood up, the other three family elders followed suit.

“Good afternoon, Ms. Larson.” Although reluctant, the family finally greeted her.

There was a smile plastered on Yvette Larson’s face—a mocking one—as she looked at her cousin.

The latter was filled with hatred as he eyed her gaze. “Can we start the meeting now, Yvette?”

The lady in question replied, “Isn’t this a family meeting? Where are the family elders?”

‘That’s a strange question. The three elders are clearly sitting right in front of her, yet she still posed that question. What does she mean by that?’

“What are you talking about? Aren’t the three elders sitting right in front of you? Don’t you see them?”

Yvette Larson turned to the three elders. “Oh, so there are three men here. I thought they were three blocks of wood.”

“Yvette Larson, you’d better watch your words. They’re elders of the family. How dare you speak to them in that tone?”

“Quince Larson, you’d better watch your words too. I’m the family head. Do you really think you’re in any place to make a fuss here?”

“Elders? Did you say that they’re the family elders? In that case, why don’t they know the rules of the family? Firstly, they don’t even recognize me as the family head. Secondly, they’re sitting in my seat. Are these the elders you’re talking about? Since the elders aren’t even following the rules, I don’t think I need to follow the rules either.”

Everyone present was stunned.?‘I thought she was simply putting us on the spot.. I can’t believe she dragged those three elders into the argument too! If they bow their heads to her today, there will be no point in this meeting today. So what if we become the family head then?’
