A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 60

Sage smiled and said, “The company has been at a standstill for the past few years. If it weren’t for the fame of the Holcomb family, it’d probably be even worse off than it is right now.”

Ever since her uncle, Owen Joyner, took over the company, he grew overly ambitious. He had also switched out some veterans and replaced them with his confidants.

So, Maven Corporation was doing worse every year.

Fortunately, Donald still held some prestige, so many people would give him some credit. That was why the company didn’t plummet.

However, Donald wasn’t in great health, and his energy levels were failing as well. Even though he often reprimanded Owen, the effects were miniscule.

Last year, after Sage got married to Ian, Owen signed some partnerships by making use of the fact that their family was in–laws with the Holcomb family. It was only then that business started looking up.

“We can’t depend on the Holcomb family forever. This isn’t a long–term solution.

Sage continued, “Even though we will spend quite a lot on the management team, they’re professionals, after all. They can help us earn back quite a lot of

money.

“You and Uncle Owen won’t have to work so hard, either. It’s not a bad idea,

right?”

When Donald heard that, he was a little surprised. “Sage, you’ve matured a lot. You were quite earnest when you analyzed the business stuff!”
