Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Liberty's tone was firm. "I'm the head of this family now, not your mother. If you can't handle the responsibilities of a vice president, then step down. I won't tolerate anyone sitting around collecting a paycheck for nothing." She wasn't about to let them get away with their laziness.

The three brothers had already suffered significant losses in their business ventures.

The only assets they had that remained stable were the rental properties and commercial spaces they had purchased.

That was why Holden had urged his sons to return home, buy more properties, and live off rental income-it was a far more secure path than their reckless business investments.

If a property wasn't renting well, they could always sell it and recover some money.

But their business ventures? Those were a different story.

More often than not, they ended up in debt.

When Clarissa was alive, she had bailed them out countless times, dipping into her private funds to cover their losses.

Of course, there were times when they turned a profit.

But that was only because they took contracts from Farrell Group, relying on the company to absorb the risks. Their success came at the company's expense.

The profits Marco and his brothers had made over the years were built on the backs of Farrell Group's losses. Marco's face darkened. He wanted to argue but held back, his jaw tightening as he glared at Liberty.
