Chapter 288
At this moment, Liam was in a meeting at the company. When he heard that Caroline wanted to come over, he immediately agreed to it.
When Caroline arrived at Mackey Group, Liam had just finished his meeting.
“A rare visitor you are, Ms. Evans.” Liam led Caroline into his office.
“What brings you here today?”
Caroline sat on the couch by the coffee table. “Nothing much. It’s just that Evans Group will be choosing a new CEO soon, and I hope I can get your support.”
She spoke blandly, as if she were discussing the weather.
Liam was stunned for a moment before he started laughing.
“Ms. Evans, you’re going to compete for the position of Evans Group’s CEO? I didn’t expect that. You were always just the little girl running after Mr. Eddy. Now it seems you’re going to be an independent woman.”
Caroline couldn’t tell if Liam was teasing or mocking her. She looked at him unblinkingly as she smiled.
Liam coughed awkwardly. “Evans Group getting a new CEO is an internal matter. I have nothing to do with that company. It’s no use for you to come and see me about it.”
“But your son is one of Evans Group’s shareholders.”
“Then you should go and see him.”
Caroline smiled. “I’ve already gone to see him.”
She then paused before continuing. “But I think there’s really no need to see him. You should know best what your son is like. He’s always done what he wanted. To put it in a nice way, he’s strong–willed. To put it in an unpleasant way, he’s a ticking time bomb.”
She then added, “When it comes to ticking time bombs, I’m not very confident.”
Liam wasn’t pleased that Caroline was being so straightforward. “I can’t decide on his matters.”
Caroline got straight to the point. “I’ve done my research. The projects Sloan has invested in in the past few years are all facing lesses. You haven’t retired yet, but you worry that the company will be taken over by the board once you do. Because you know best that your son doesn’t have the power to take over.” (1
Liam’s expression turned darker.
“As long as you support me in becoming the CEO of Evans Group, I will acquire your company at a price that’s higher than the market price in half a year’s time. That way, you can get some retirement money and leave some for your son, too. What do you think?
