The Silent Wife

Chapter 285

The Carter Enterprise? Everyone looked askance at each other.

They had heard that Rachel was goddaughter of the president of Carter Enterprise and his wife. Rachel also had a very good relationship with the daughter of the Carter Family. Besides, it was public knowledge that the Carter Enterprise was keen to take over Hudson Pharmaceuticals.

Just then, Amber spoke. “Everyone, today’s my dad’s funeral so by right, we shouldn’t be talking about work. However, my dad has put his life into Hudson Pharmaceuticals, and that’s also why I have no choice but to

step up and defend his company. I have to stop someone else from selling off our family business. I realize that it was my dad who caused the current crisis in Hudson Pharmaceuticals, but he has also stepped up and bore the entire responsibility to uphold the reputation of our business. Everyone present here has watched me grow up, so please have faith in me. I’ll definitely be able to redevelop the business.”

Each of them present was quite smart, so they were aware that Amber’s exaggerated words had no substance at all.

“Amber, it’s not that we refuse to support you, but the expenses of the company have exceeded the income and we’ve got a serious cash flow issue. The existing contracts have all been terminated and we are currently facing a huge penalty for all of the contractual breaches, so how can you possibly continue operating the company by yourself?”

“Exactly. We’ve got a very serious cash flow issue. How can you maintain operations?”

Meanwhile, Amber grabbed Justin’s elbow as she faced everyone’s remarks. “I won’t be operating the company by myself. Justin has promised me that he will provide the cash to resolve the penalty for the contractual breaches and help us get through this difficult stage. This will only be possible if each of you agrees to allow me to inherit Hudson Pharmaceuticals, and appoint me as the executive manager.”

“Is that true?”

“President Burton, I thought you’ve already called off the engagement with Amber?”

“Yeah. Why is he willing to help?”

Just then, Justin frowned and discreetly withdrew his hand from Amber’s. Subsequently, he was about to say something when Rachel’s voice rang out and interjected him.

“I’m sure President Burton must treasure their previous relationship, so he’s willing to offer his help. However, I’m not too sure whether he’s using the pretext of helping the company just to pave the way for his takeover of Hudson Pharmaceuticals in the future.”

At that point, Amber’s expression turned. “What sort of nonsense are you on about?! Justin would never do that!”

“If you’re so sure that he’s not going to do that, then what’s this?”
