A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 314

"Only by working with Pentime Group can Drakengard Games become truly valuable. Otherwise, you'll be doomed!" Wendy said with contempt.

Seeing that Patrick remained silent, Wendy suddenly asked, "I've always been curious—who exactly developed these games?"

Even she had to admit that whoever created these mini-games and Legend of the East was a genius.

"Our company's engineers," Patrick replied, deliberately leaving out Jack's name.

Wendy pressed on, "I also find it odd—why does Jack, a student, own half the company's shares?"

Patrick explained, "He co-founded the company with me. And when we started, he invested more capital than I did."

Wendy understood immediately. So Jack only had a large share because he was a co-founder—it had nothing to do with the actual development of the games.

With this in mind, Wendy made up her mind. Her voice suddenly softened as she said, "I've never liked people who just take money without contributing.

"I prefer people like you—those who actually do the work. If you agree to our terms, we can give you an additional 5% of our shares from our portion."

This move would essentially cut into Jack's stake without affecting Patrick's interests.

Patrick's expression grew complicated. "This… this doesn't feel right."

Sensing his hesitation, Wendy continued, "People who don't work shouldn't get as much. And from what I know, the controlling stake is in your hands. If we work together, the control shifts to us. You have the team and the skills—we have the platform.

"It's a strong alliance. Why do you need a useless person?"

Patrick was deeply conflicted. Morally, he knew this was wrong. But at the same time, after making it into the business world, ambition had begun to take root. He also resented the fact that Jack owned more shares than he did.

He worked tirelessly at the company every day, while Jack reaped the benefits.
