This document was my dad's financial statement, as clear as a summer day. Every dollar and cent of income and expense was accounted for, not a single discrepancy!
Tucked in the back were the detailed records of that year's investments: who put in how much, the increments, and the annual dividends collected!
The last sheet, though, had me riding an emotional rollercoaster.
That was the source of my dad's additional investment, and just looking at it had me fighting back tears.
I tried to compose myself, to not lose my cool.
Listed on that sheet were assets like the house my mom got as a wedding gift from my grandparents, the family home inherited from my late grandma, three real estate investments from my grandpa, a dowry property in Silverdale City prepared for me, the return on investment I gave back to my dad in the third year after I started Medsafe Liyah Inc., and the proceeds from his own educational business endeavors...
All told, these assets were worth over 30 million bucks.
And all that dough was funneled into VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals, making us the major shareholder.
My hands trembled as I read through the asset details.
VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals' initial investment was just 50 million dollars, and our family had put in four-fifths of it, not even counting my dad's early contributions.
It was clear how much my dad wanted VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals to succeed.
Upon seeing the spreadsheet, everyone was gobsmacked, their eyes glued to my dad as my palms dripped with sweat.
Even though my dad had hinted before that VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals was our safety net, I never imagined it was to this extent.
