Chapter 181

Just as Helen was about to throw the jade bracelet, there was a knock on the door.

She immediately went to open the door, thereupon she saw Liam and Demi standing there.

“Mom, what are you doing?” Demi asked in surprise.

“Nothing, just cleaning up their room. Why are you two here?” Helen said as she put the jade bracelet on the table.

Demi walked to the table, her face indignant. “Mom, Liam and I have been fired from the company, and we don’t even have a job now. We had nothing to do at home, so we are wandering around.”

“Mom, what is this? Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is such a large group, yet your daughter and son-in-

law don’t even have a job. If this gets out, people would surely laugh!” Liam added.

The more Helen thought about it, the angrier she got. “This is all because of Matthew, that son of a b*tch! If he hadn’t aggravated those shareholders, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would still be ours. It can’t be that hard to find positions for you two.”

Liam joined them. “Mom, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is now fully under Matthew’s control. The CEO and the managing director are all his people. We don’t even know the company’s accounts and it’s expenses. This simply cannot go on, right?”

“I know. But those shareholders now listen to him, so what can I do?” Helen said helplessly.

Liam smiled lightly. “Mom, I have an idea.”

“Which is?””

“You and Dad can start a new business! Let’s open another company, and we can have total control over it!” Liam suggested.

Helen froze and shook her head immediately. “Impossible! Don’t you remember what happened last time? Sasha will surely not support us. Besides, your dad and I don’t know much about medicine; how can we start a company from scratch?”

Liam chuckled. “Mom, it’s simple. Before, people had to have medical knowledge to acquire herbs. But this time, we can open a drug store; a chain of pharmacies.

The concept is simple: we buy medicine from manufacturers, then sell them to the consumers. We just have to hire a few qualified doctors and make sure the medicine is approved.

All we have to do is open the pharmacy and go to the stores every day to collect money.”

Helen’s eyes turned bright at the idea. “This really is a good idea. We can open a pharmacy, and I’ll be the keeper. Your dad and I will have something to do from now on, and you two can come and help us out. That’s pretty good. The only thing we don’t know is the payoff.”

Liam chuckled happily. “The payoff is absolutely much more than selling herbs! Look at Stanley Carlson; he, too, relied on his pharmacy when he first started! Besides, we have Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to back us.

Opening a pharmacy can also help to boost Cunningham Pharmaceuticals’ sales, which in turn benefits the company’s development. Sasha will certainly agree.”

Helen was overjoyed. “You’re right! Alright, I’ll talk to your dad later. If possible, we’ll open a chain of pharmacies.”

Liam was excited. The reason he came by was just because he wanted to talk about this.

His previous business had failed, so he had to find a way to get money from the Cunningham Family.

Demi sat on the couch, and she picked up the jade bracelet on the table. “Mom, where did you get this jade bracelet?”

Helen’s expression turned frosty. “It belonged to Old Mrs. Graham, and she gave it to your sister when she became her goddaughter.”
