Helen nodded. "I didn't expect you to care so much about them."
"Of course, I care about them! They're my kids!" Ned turned to leave.
"Has something gone wrong with Vitality Biotech again? I'm on good terms with Danny Reilly, the head of their Lonla Division, and…" Helen paused and picked up her coffee. "I also know their founder pretty well.
"If you need help, perhaps I could lend you a hand. You should know that Danny was invited to my uncle's birthday celebration."
Ned clenched his fist around his phone when he heard Helen say she knew Vitality Biotech's founder. But at the thought of her ulterior motives, he said, "I'll speak to you again if I need your help."
Helen watched him leave and sneered. Every human would naturally be fond of their flesh and blood, yet Robert was an exception to the rule. His old age was getting to him. That was why he was siding with an outsider instead of with his kin.
She picked up her bag and walked out of the cafe. At the same time, she called Winston. "The mid-year review meeting with the board of directors is at 10:00 am. Have you arranged everything for me?"
"You bet I have," Winston said flippantly. "You spent so much money buying our shares. Now that you hold 10% of the company's shares, you have all the right to attend the meeting.
"Don't forget what we agreed on, though. Once you get Lawson Global, I want to be the finance director. You also promised to give me 5% of the company's shares."
Helen smirked. "We signed a contract for that. Don't tell me that isn't enough to ease your worries."
