Sasha frowned. “Mom, can’t you be more polite when you speak? How much money and contributions
has Julian made while in charge of Wellness Herbary? He has done so much for the company, yet you
aren’t grateful to him—you even insulted him like that! D-Don’t you think that you’re going too far?”
Demi curled her lips. She said, “Did you get it backward, Sasha? He has everything he possesses right
now only because we took him in and let him work at Wellness Herbary when he was at the lowest point
in his life. If it hadn’t been for us, he would have died long ago; how else could he afford to live in a
luxury house, drive luxury cars, and get such a high salary?
We provided him with food, accommodation and such a high salary, but he’s making demands when we
want to transfer our money out of Wellness Herbary now? Honestly, even a stray dog would be grateful
to us if we feed it what we had provided Julian with.”
Sasha’s face went livid at Demi’s words. She scolded, “How could you speak like that, Demi? Wellness
Herbary had nearly collapsed back then; would it have come this far if it hadn’t been for him? One must
be grateful…”
Demi interrupted with a sneer, “You’re right—one should be grateful. Sasha, do you really think that
Julian should get the credit for Wellness Herbary’s turnaround? If he really is such a capable person,
he wouldn’t have ended up in that state several years ago. Let me put it this way: I would have
certainly done a much better job than he did if you had put me in charge of Wellness Herbary back
then, so don’t tell me to be grateful to him anymore. He should be grateful to the Cunninghams
instead!”
James and Helen nodded repeatedly in approval of Demi’s words.
Sasha gnashed her teeth. “Since all of you are so capable of managing a company, how did you guys
bring Wellness Herbary to the verge of collapsing back then?”
Demi and the rest were silenced at once.
Looking embarrassed, James said in a grim tone, “What do you mean by that, Sasha? Is it so difficult for
you to transfer the money to us? Let’s not talk about the past or the issue of who should be grateful to
whom. Tell Julian that Wellness Herbary belongs to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. He can leave
Wellness Herbary if he’s unwilling to listen to us Cunninghams; we’ll never urge him to stay!”
Demi nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. He can get lost immediately right now! There’s absolutely no
problem for me to be Wellness Herbary’s CEO. That way, the pharmaceuticals can remain in the hands
of our own instead of being usurped by someone else.”
Sasha glared at Demi angrily. “Don’t you ever think about it! The Board of Directors made it clear that the
few of you must not be allowed to work in Wellness Herbary anymore. Otherwise, they’ll investigate the
previous incident thoroughly until the few of you are sent to prison!”
Demi opened her mouth but didn’t dare to say anything in the end.
James said in a grim tone, “Why are you talking so much? What’s wrong with me asking you to fire him?
In the worst case scenario, we’ll find someone else to be in charge of Wellness Herbary instead of
working in it ourselves. Hmph, it might not be easy to find a talented person to manage the company, but
does the company have to be so dependent on him?”
Sasha warned seriously, “Dad, it’s not that easy for you to fire Julian. Firstly, the Board of Directors will
surely object to that. After all, he could make a lot of money for the company. Secondly, most of Wellness
Herbary’s resources and clients are all in his hands.
If he leaves the company, these resources and clients will be gone; it’s even likely that the orders placed
with the company prior will be canceled. By then, Wellness Herbary will suffer immeasurable losses.
Once such a situation happens, nobody will be able to bear the responsibility when the Board of
Directors pursue the matter!”
