Side Chick Era... Over

Loving DAD 1130

The Kalen Group was a colossal business empire–too vast, too entrenched for anyone to simply “buy the dip.”

Besides, Sharon was part of the Kalen Group too. If the Kalen Group collapsed, she would fall with it.

Still, while the Kalen Group’s foundation was untouchable, Silas’s subsidiary companies were another story- those could be targeted.

The three Kalen brothers each held senior positions within the Kalen Group, yet every one of them also ran several private companies of their own. It was a clever arrangement: diversifying their assets while shielding Kalen Group from concentrated risk.

Of course, those side ventures were counted as personal property, not corporate income.

Now, the companies under Sharon and Victoria would be treated the same way–independent enterprises, privately owned. Whether they rose to go public or went bankrupt entirely would depend solely on their own abilities.

The reason the three Kalen brothers had earned such acclaim in the industry was because the businesses they built independently had all gone public, thriving in their own right. They’d proven they were more than pampered heirs.

Sharon found herself agreeing with Thomas’s idea. She turned toward him, studying his sharp, chiseled profile in the glow of passing streetlights.

“Thomas,” she asked, “do you already have a plan?”

Thomas nodded. “I do have a good one. But before we move, we need to find out exactly what caused the Macaron Group’s downfall. Only then can we strike at the root.”
