Yet, this was his first time encountering people who indulged in such a high degree of self–glorification
The Cowells were useless and yet were completely unaware of it. They even described themselves as if they were exceptional.
Liam could tell from the Cowells‘ words that all of them combined would be inferior to Samantha. She was the most
outstanding of Channing’s grandchildren.
Meanwhile, June prepared a cup of coffee for Liam. He took a sip and said, “So, you’re all here to tell me that you’ve kicked Samantha out of Bailar and the company belongs to you now?”
“That’s right.” Violet nodded. “Samantha isn’t capable of managing such a huge business. She’s the worst of all my grandchildren.”
Clara, Francis, and the others expressed their pride when Violet praised them.
However, Liam said, “Violet, if Samantha is useless, why did Bailar suddenly make enormous progress two years ago? In fact, under her management, the company is on the verge of becoming a listed company.
“Afterward, Celine came and suppressed Bailar until the company was close to bankruptcy.
“I have something to ask ”
Liam glanced at the Cowells. “Since Samantha is useless and your other grandchildren are much more capable than her, why was Bailar close to being listed while the Cowell Group went from a multimillion–
dollar enterprise to a third–grade company?”
The vast majority of events in Swallowston could not escape Liam’s knowledge. Had Celine not caused trouble, Bailar would be a publicly listed company by now.
Violet was embarrassed upon hearing this. She was rendered speechless by Liam’s question.
However, Clara said, “Mr. Liam, there was a major shareholder by the name of Joanna DuPont in Bailar. Joanna and Samantha ran the company together. But when Joanna left, Bailar went into bankruptcy.”
Clara beamed. “So, it wasn’t Samantha who built up Bailar, but Joanna.”
“Ah.” Liam was enlightened.
Clara chuckled to herself. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
However, Liam asked once again, “You mentioned earlier that Joanna and Samantha were partners. In that case, is jointly owned by them. How is it related to your family in any way then?”

“Umm_”
The Cowells were stunned when Liam’s voice died away. In fact, they were slightly embarrassed and were at a loss for words.
Nathan stepped forward and said, “Mr. Liam, Samantha founded Bailar with the four hundred thousand dollars she loaned from my
father. Hence, the company is my father’s investment and it should reasonably be inherited by his son, me, upon his
passing.”
“Nathan is right.” Violet nodded and looked at Liam.
Liam was not in a rush. He took a sip of coffee and said, “Samantha got four hundred thousand dollars from her grandfather, but Channing didn’t hold any stocks in the company. In other words, Samantha borrowed the money from Channing, right?
“That’s right. Samantha borrowed that money and couldn’t pay up. So, she pledged her company to us.” Violet nodded.
“I heard that Samantha returned the loan to your company a few days ago. On top of that, she paid an additional three hundred and fifty thousand dollars as interest. Is that not true?” asked Liam.
The Cowells were dumbfounded. Everyone including Violet was stunned. At this moment, they blushed in shame beyond their control and were rendered utterly speechless.
Who would have thought that Liam would be so good at this?
