chapter 504
However, the more Renee behaved this way, the more worrying it was.
Liam thought venting negative emotions was necessary. How Renee constantly
repressed her emotions might make matters worse in the long run. Therefore,
Liam and Leia discussed the need to find a way for Renee to vent.
After the discussion, Leia patted her chest and reassured Liam confidently,
“Fine. I understand. I’m good at that. Just leave it to me!”
Leia finally broke up with William after he was rescued. She had been
suffocating anyway and could not wait to vent!
Enter title…
At the moment, Renee was sitting in a conference room at Azure Group
headquarters. It was an important meeting with the company’s executives.
Renee was not nominated to hold any position in Azure Group over the past few
years. Liam had made all the major decisions as the company president. Even
so, the executives knew Renee was the soul of the company.
Azure Group was just a small technology company in the industry. Without
Renee’s effort behind the scenes, competitors in the industry would have eaten
Azure Group.
Even so, many of these executives disliked Renee. The first on the list was
Liam’s third sister, Laura Osborne.
The Osborne family had eight children, and the eldest to the fifth were all girls.
Liam was the only boy in the Osborne family and naturally took on the
responsibility of carrying on the family’s legacy.
Liam had five elder sisters. His third sister Laura was the strongest and most
business-minded. She had been managing the Osborne family business
together with Liam.
In the beginning, Liam requested his father for money to set up Azure Group,
saying he wanted to break into the field of communication technology. The
Osborne family business started in the gray market and revolved around it.
Liam’s family laughed at him for his sudden career change. They thought he set
up the company to pick up girls, and the company would collapse sooner and
later.
After all, H Group had about seventy to eighty percent market share as the
leader in the communication technology industry. How could Liam compete?
Liam’s third sister Laura was the only one supportive of him. She even invested
in the company and became the third largest shareholder of Azure Group.
As Azure grew, so did Laura’s appetite. She was no longer happy to have
someone outside the family with a higher authority above her.
Therefore, when Renee spoke, Laura objected immediately.
“From what Miss Everheart is saying, a huge capital injection is required in
opening new R&D and manufacturing sites. It’s too risky and not in line with
Azure Group’s current plans. I disagree.”
Four years ago, Renee wanted Azure Group to build its own product
development and manufacturing base. At that time, the majority of the top
management, including Liam, opposed her proposal.
However, because Renee insisted, Liam finally overcame the objection and
secretly diverted a large amount of money from the Osborne family to support
her unconditionally. Unfortunately, the production and R&D center was not
profitable and lost all the money.
Laura questioned Renee with a stern expression, “The investment for a
company to build its own R&D and manufacturing base is enormous. The
Osborne family has depleted much of its financial resources in supporting Azure
Group over the years. We’ve only been able to get some relief, and now you
propose this. I can’t help but wonder, Miss Everheart, are you trying to lead
Azure Group to glory or its end?
