The Night I Let Go novel Chapter 29

At the chairman's office in Jennings Corporation, Harold, who had originally stepped back from daily operations, had recently returned to working a full nine-to-five schedule due to the company's current conditions.

Not long after he arrived at the office, his daughter, Wendy, came looking for him.

Wendy recounted everything Ethan had said the previous day. As expected, Harold rejected the idea without a second thought.

"Are you out of your mind? Do you even realize what you're suggesting? You're letting a fox into the henhouse!"

Harold's anger was palpable. "We've fought so hard to achieve Jennings Corporation's current success. Can't you see the seriousness of our problems now? Do you want to see the company collapse? Is that when you'll stop?"

"Dad, you're well aware of Jennings Corporation's current situation. If we want to break out of this and continue growing, we must rely on external forces!

"Besides, Ethan clearly stated that he has full authority to act on his uncle's behalf. Even if we sell off some shares, our family will still run Jennings Corporation!" Wendy tried to convince Harold.

She continued, "Although we might lose some control, we'll gain a powerful ally in return. Jennings Corporation could even expand into Celesea City! Dad, you taught me that risk and opportunity go hand in hand."

Harold remained silent. He was tempted, but he didn't dare to take the risk.

As the head of the company, his decisions would impact the company's future and direction. One wrong move could bury the entire Jennings Corporation.

After a long silence, Harold closed his eyes and waved his hand. "I'll think about it. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

Wendy understood that Harold needed time to make this decision. She didn't push him but quietly left the office.

On her way back to her own office, she bumped into Ethan, who was heading to the pantry.

"Wendy, did your dad agree?" Ethan asked.

"Not yet, but I believe he will," Wendy responded with certainty.

She knew her father well. Although he didn't want outsiders involved in the company, he wouldn't want it to decline.
