A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 60

Sage smiled and said, “The company has been at a standstill for the past few years. If it weren’t for the fame of the Holcomb family, it’d probably be even worse off than it is right now.”

So, Maven Corporation was doing worse every year.

Fortunately, Donald still held some prestige, so many people would give him some credit. That was why the company didn’t plummet.

However, Donald wasn’t in great health, and his energy levels were failing as well. Even though he often reprimanded Owen, the effects were miniscule.
