Chapter 222: New Chairman

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

San Francisco.
The second day after Finn Taylor’s departure—it was the appointment day of the Larson Corporation’s new chairman.
This day, the entire senior management of the Larson family had arrived at the office bright and early. These were the same people who were habitually late or simply didn’t show up at work.
After all, nobody could say a thing since they were part of the Larson family. But it was exactly because of their attitudes that the company had fallen into such a state, so much so that the company had to be sold.
Now, the new chairman held the final say over their fates. If the new chairman didn’t take a liking to them, they faced the danger of being fired at any time.
That was why the Larson family was slightly panicked. After all, they didn’t have any capabilities.
How would they find another job after leaving this company? As such, they decided to arrive at the office bright and early to prove to the new chairman that they respected their jobs and could do them well.
Even now, Quince Larson was still sitting in the chairman’s position. He couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness as he scanned the office. ‘Everything here had once been mine. It’s only because that b*tch—Yvette Larson—resigned that the Sullivan family had terminated their collaboration. It was why I had eventually been forced to sell the company. I’m now the one in the most awkward situation in the Larson Corporation. Everyone else still holds their original positions and jobs before the arrival of the new chairman. Perhaps they will even get to keep their jobs after that.’
‘But as for me? I’d definitely be kicked out! But this is the Larson Corporation, and I’m the eldest grandson of the Larson family! How could I be forced out of this place?’ He was indignant! ‘There is no way I’d let that happen.’
Just then, Eleanor Larson strolled into the office. “Brother, Hunter Sullivan is here.”
‘Hunter Sullivan?’ Quince Larson was stunned. ‘Why is he here? Does he want to work with our company again? Have I been fooled by him again?’
Quince Larson felt indignant. ‘Hunter Sullivan has played a part in causing the state I’m in now.’
He rushed out of the office, just in time to catch the latter walking in. “What are you doing here, Hunter Sullivan? Are you planning on working with our company again?”
Hunter Sullivan sneered. “Work with your company? Do you know how much of an impact you guys have caused us by changing the person-in-charge and then selling your shares? I’m here to demand compensation.”
‘Compensation?’ Quince Larson was taken aback, but he couldn’t help but rejoice inwardly. For some reason, he felt elated that the Larson Corporation was now in a rut. ‘It seems like I’ll be able to get something out of it.’
“Alright, that’s good. You’ve lost so much. Make sure to get a good amount of compensation.”
Quince Larson’s words drew ire from the Larson family.
“Quince Larson, what are you saying? You might not be the chairman any longer, but you’re still the family head. How could you be so cold-hearted and hope that the company fails?”
“That’s right, Quince Larson. You’ve really disappointed me. Just look at what’s become of the company after you took control.”
“Yes, we thought that the company would go to greater heights with you leading us, but look at where we are now!”
The Larson family members vented their frustrations at Quince Larson.
“Hehe, you’re all a bunch of ingrates. I didn’t shortchange any of you while I was the chairman, but you guys are going against me the moment I step down. I’m sure the new chairman will take all of this to heart. They’ll see just how disloyal all of you are!”
The Larson family members flew into a frenzy the moment they heard Quince Larson’s words. ‘Quince Larson is such a b*stard! Now that he can’t stay in the company, he’s trying to drag us down too!’
Just then, Quince Larson looked toward the entrance of the office building, only to see someone—Yvette Larson!
“Hey, why’s that b*tch here?”
‘It’s strange to see my cousin turn up at the Larson Corporation since she has already resigned. So why is she here?’
“Yvette Larson, who allowed you to come here?” Quince Larson put on his airs as the chairman and questioned his cousin.
“Quince Larson, I heard that you had to sell the company within a month of becoming the chairman. Tsk tsk.” Eleanor Larson provoked Quince Larson.
He stepped up, wanting to punch his cousin.
However, two men in black stepped forward before he could even do anything. “Hey, I’m warning you to watch your actions. Otherwise, we’ll beat you to a pulp.”
Quince Larson felt his knees shiver at the sight of the men. He backed down, not daring to provoke the other anymore.
“Yvette Larson, what are you doing here?”
“What, can’t I show up at the Larson Corporation?” Yvette Larson seemed to let out a smile as she looked at her cousin.
“You already resigned. What are you doing here?”
“Indeed. I resigned, but I’m still a Larson. Aren’t you going to give me any money from the sale of the company?”
Quince Larson pursed his lips. ‘Why did I even wonder why she came? It’s obvious that she’s here for money.’
“Yvette Larson, your family is so rich that you can stay in Number One Pacific Heights. Can’t you just let the rest of the family have this money? If not for your resignation, the Larson Corporation wouldn’t have gone bankrupt either. How could you be so shameless as to ask for this sum of money?” Quince Larson hated his cousin to her guts.
Although he knew that Yvette Larson wouldn’t be able to get much with the shares she had, he didn’t want her to get a single cent. Besides, it was his cousin’s fault that the company went bankrupt in the first place.
His words evidently had their effect. As soon as the other Larson family members heard that, they added, “Yvette, look at what you’ve done. Why did you have to resign? Did you get anything from the company going bankrupt?”
“Yes, I think you’re to be blamed for this.”
“Yvette Larson, how dare you ask for a share of the money? I think it’s good enough that we’re not asking you for any compensation.”
The Larson family took turns to take a stab at Yvette Larson.
Quince Larson couldn’t help but rejoice inwardly at this sight.
Although he wouldn’t gain much from this, it delighted him. It was enough for him as long as his cousin didn’t do well.
Just as Quince Larson thought that he had won the victory, Yvette Larson retorted, “Quince Larson, who are you to stand here and say such things to me?”
Quince Larson was annoyed by that question. “Who are you to stand here to talk to me then?”
Yvette Larson smiled and stretched out her arm, taking out a document from her bag. She flashed it to everyone in front of her.
“I’m here as the new chairman of the Larson Corporation.”
