Chapter 320
At Ford Mansion,
Lawyers from both sides began declaring both parties‘ respective financial situations.
All documents were duplicated multiple times, so everyone could have their own copy.
Everyone in the room took it seriously as they read the documents in their hands, and the atmosphere was tense and quiet.
As they read on, Mr. and Mrs. Cohen‘s brows began furrowing tightly.
It was especially so for Mr. Cohen, who suddenly placed one of the files on the table and tapped his fingers on it. “What‘s with this? I don‘t recall that the risk level of this Fern City project was so high.”
Weston simply glanced over him and said, “Things have changed. This is our most optimistic projection after going through the risk analysis.” Mr. Cohen‘s face darkened. “Why didn‘t you say this earlier?” Both families had high hopes for this project, with the Cohen family ready to participate the moment they got married, going as far as to invest a huge portion of their family fortune.
This project appeared to be a sure profit which was guaranteed to multiply their net worth. When that happened, they would no longer need to fight with their relatives over who had the final say over the company. With such earnings, the right to inheritance would naturally fall upon them. Now that the risk level seemed so high, things did not look so rosy after all.
