“They’re concerned about their interests. I’m working on another project now. If this project succeeds, they’ll still be able to keep their interests even if the investigation is still going on in Watson Biopharmaceuticals. That’s why I’m not in a hurry.” Luke knew it well. What mattered to them the most was not Dr. Albus’ research being stolen. It was what would happen next and if they could get any benefits from it.
Louis understood it well. The investors were all like that. They were only concerned about their long-term interests.
Louis let out a sigh of relief when he knew Luke had already settled everything. It was just that he did not announce it to the public.
He was planning to leave the businesses in his workshop to another partner at first. Then, he would come over to help Luke to get through this crisis and put his work off until later.
However, he had underestimated his elder brother’s capability. He did not expect the problems to be solved already…
“Brother, can you tell me how much losses the company suffered when the drug research got stolen?” Louis asked curiously.
“Do you want to know about it?” Luke asked.
Louis nodded and replied, "Of course, I'd like to know. Although I was on a business trip, I was paying attention to this matter every day!"
Louis would watch the news every day when he had the time. He was waiting for the investigation results of Watson Biopharmaceuticals. However, he did not expect Luke to bury the news. That was why Louis did not see any news about the Watson Biopharmaceuticals when he returned here.
"You can come back to work at T Corporation if you'd like to know how much the company has lost. Why don't you be responsible for counting the losses?" Luke said facetiously. Deep down in his heart, he knew Louis had something else he wanted to do.
"Brother, you can't be serious. I would’ve returned if I was interested in these things. I wouldn't have waited for you to convince me to go back there, right?" Louis shook his head. It was stressful to manage T Corporation, and he was reluctant to return there.
He thought it was more interesting to manage his workshop. First, it was his hobby and interest. He would be motivated to make money. Secondly, he could get a handsome income and it was enough for him to support his family.
“I know,” said Luke.
Mrs. Laurel served some refreshments. Luke picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
Louis picked up his teacup and took a sip too. He said slowly, "Never mind. You're capable enough to recover the losses no matter how much the company has lost. It'll be enough to shut the mouths of those old-fashioned people."
“Yes,” said Luke. He was not in a hurry now. The ones who were feeling anxious were the directors of T Corporation. Once they got anxious, the others who were holding odd lots would become anxious too.
“But is there a reason behind your decision,” said Louis. It was important to calm the investors down. Previously, Luke would step forward to calm the investors down whenever something bad happened that could affect the company.
He did not do so this time…
“Do you want to know why?” Luke raised his brows and looked at his younger brother. Luke had to take the wheel. Only then would Louis be able to pursue his dreams without having to worry about anything.
Louis suddenly felt that things were not as simple as they seemed…
“Brother, did something happen?” Louis realized something.
Luke looked down and replied lightly, “I’ve just looked into and found out that someone is secretly buying odd lots. He’s also secretly buying shares from the major shareholders.”
“What? How is this happening?” Louis’ heart skipped a beat. Someone was plotting against Luke, indeed…
However, the Crawford family was not peaceful enough. There were chances that Susan might betray them. That was why Luke had to secure his position.
Luke needed more time to secure his position all by himself.
“Brother, why don’t I transfer my shares to you?” Louis said.
“There’s no need. As a descendant of the Crawford family, those were meant to be given to you. I’ll just wait and buy the shares.” Luke rejected Louis’s offer to help. He needed more shares on the market, not the shares that belonged to the Crawford family.
“You know someone is going against you now, yet you’re still refusing to take mine?” Louis let out a sigh. Luke was an ordinary person. He was not a superhero. However, he was handling so many difficult matters.
"Although your workshop is stable now, you have limited income. You'll need the shares to make a living. Keep them for yourself. You're already helping me as long as you don't sell them," Luke said straightforwardly.
Louis's workshop income was enough for a normal family’s living expenses, and there would be a surplus. He was richer than most of the families who were doing business.
However, Yuri was born into a wealthy family. Yuri did not marry Louis to make herself suffer. She had always been a spender. Besides, Louis had to support Thea too. The child's education, living standards, and hobbies would need a huge amount of money.
The company shares that Louis owned could lighten his burdens.
"Of course, I'm not going to sell the shares. But Brother, are you sure about this?" Louis asked worriedly.
"Yes. Judging from how quickly I'm buying the shares now, I'll be able to buy more until the day I announce it to the public. Besides, that person hasn’t realized that I've been buying shares. I'm buying more shares than he is," said Luke. Luke had the upper hand in this matter. He had asked someone to keep a close eye on the company's shares. Therefore, he was buying the shares way faster than that person was.
