The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285

The Carter Enterprise? Everyone looked askance at each other.

They had heard that Rachel was goddaughter of the president of Carter Enterprise and his wife. Rachel also had a very good relationship with the daughter of the Carter Family. Besides, it was public knowledge that the Carter Enterprise was keen to take over Hudson Pharmaceuticals.

Just then, Amber spoke. “Everyone, today’s my dad’s funeral so by right, we shouldn’t be talking about work. However, my dad has put his life into Hudson Pharmaceuticals, and that’s also why I have no choice but to

step up and defend his company. I have to stop someone else from selling off our family business. I realize that it was my dad who caused the current crisis in Hudson Pharmaceuticals, but he has also stepped up and bore the entire responsibility to uphold the reputation of our business. Everyone present here has watched me grow up, so please have faith in me. I’ll definitely be able to redevelop the business.”

Each of them present was quite smart, so they were aware that Amber’s exaggerated words had no substance at all.

“Amber, it’s not that we refuse to support you, but the expenses of the company have exceeded the income and we’ve got a serious cash flow issue. The existing contracts have all been terminated and we are currently facing a huge penalty for all of the contractual breaches, so how can you possibly continue operating the company by yourself?”

“Exactly. We’ve got a very serious cash flow issue. How can you maintain operations?”

Meanwhile, Amber grabbed Justin’s elbow as she faced everyone’s remarks. “I won’t be operating the company by myself. Justin has promised me that he will provide the cash to resolve the penalty for the contractual breaches and help us get through this difficult stage. This will only be possible if each of you agrees to allow me to inherit Hudson Pharmaceuticals, and appoint me as the executive manager.”

“Is that true?”

“President Burton, I thought you’ve already called off the engagement with Amber?”

“Yeah. Why is he willing to help?”

Just then, Justin frowned and discreetly withdrew his hand from Amber’s. Subsequently, he was about to say something when Rachel’s voice rang out and interjected him.

“I’m sure President Burton must treasure their previous relationship, so he’s willing to offer his help. However, I’m not too sure whether he’s using the pretext of helping the company just to pave the way for his takeover of Hudson Pharmaceuticals in the future.”

At that point, Amber’s expression turned. “What sort of nonsense are you on about?! Justin would never do that!”

“If you’re so sure that he’s not going to do that, then what’s this?”

At that, Rachel took out a document in front of everyone and handed it over to the main representative of the shareholders. “Mr. Raymond, take a look at this.”

The first page of the document was printed with the logo of Burton Group and the words in bold were quite eye-catching,’Proposal on Hudson Pharmaceuticals Takeover’.

Justin’s expression changed instantly. The proposal had been in his office all this while and it was a confidential document. How did she get hold of this?

Amongst the uproar, Rachel continued to mock him with an indifferent look. “Amber, if you had no idea, then this clearly shows that you’re not smart enough. You’re not accomplished enough to become a professional manager. However, if you knew about this, then you’ve betrayed your own company and aided your enemy to infiltrate the company.”

Just then, no matter which option took precedence, Amber clearly wasn’t suited to inherit Hudson

Pharmaceuticals.

Meanwhile, she couldn’t come up with the words to explain herself as the crowd shot her doubtful looks.

“Even so, I was just thinking of the future of Hudson Pharmaceuticals!”

In the end, Amber made a reckless decision. “Well, you’re also helping Carter Enterprise to take over Hudson Pharmaceuticals, so why can’t I allow Justin to help me? Besides, it’s quite logical for me to inherit the business. Meanwhile, you’re just an illegitimate daughter without any legal identity. What right do you have to inherit Hudson Pharmaceuticals?”

“Well, based on the six formulas I have in my hands, I will be eligible to inherit the business.”

Formulas? As soon as Rachel said that, everyone at the scene looked at her with incredulous expressions.

“Rachel, what are you on about? Did you discover some formulas? What sort of formulas are they?”

The person who asked this was one of the representatives of the shareholders-Evan Holt. He was the son of Old Mr. Hudson’s butler, and he had gone overseas for his studies and then returned to work for Hudson Pharmaceuticals. He had been highly valued by Jefferey and he was also one of the shareholder representatives now.
