"Charlie Thompson, I'm sorry! I didn't anticipate things would turn out this way!"
Elizabeth Rodriguez said apologetically.
"It's not your fault!" I replied.
Elizabeth wasn't the leader, just a manager, and she had only taken over a few years ago, how could she manage everyone.
When the stakes are high enough, even family can turn against each other, let alone the fact that I was an outsider to Vanguard.
Elizabeth said, voice tinged with bitterness, "Actually, this was all because of my half-brother, he fanned the flames, rallying many family members to attack me."
"Today, there was a board meeting, and at night, we had a family meeting too. I'm temporarily okay, but I can't manage Fiend's Larder anymore."
"All matters regarding Fiend's Larder are handed over to my brother. He's threatening to force you to relinquish all your shares and withdraw from Fiend's Larder, allowing Vanguard to fully control it."
