"Joseph, you're the family head; our survival depends on you. If Yvette Larson is incapable, you'd better take her down! I think Quince Larson is more reliable!"

"That's right, Joseph. You're the family head, and the whole family is relying on you. Look at what's become of the company now. Why is it that the company is on the verge of going bankrupt after Yvette took over? Is this her fault?"

Although these relatives were all bums, they all loved to suck up to the rich and powerful.

The Old Master had made himself very clear with his attitude. While Yvette Larson seemed to have made a name for herself recently, the Larson family relatives were clear about the most suitable candidate in Joseph Larson's mind.

It was just that he couldn't voice out his thoughts. After all, he very much needed her to remain in charge of the project with the Sullivan family—she was his golden ticket.

Before this project was completed, they needed Yvette Larson in the company. He couldn't afford to kick her aside just yet.

However, the Larson family relatives knew that the Larson family would eventually fall into the hands of Quince Larson. That was why they immediately started sucking up to Quince Larson while putting Yvette Larson down.

These were all nieces and nephews of the Old Master, so they were still Yvette Larson's elders.

Yvette Larson naturally had a lot she wanted to say to them, but there was no way she could put them into words.

It was also impossible to deprive them of their shares unless she became the Larson family head one day.

Yvette Larson was in a rage, and she quickly shut her door and returned to her seat.

She vented her anger by banging on her keyboard, but the door opened just then, and her grandpa brought those annoying relatives in.

Yvette Larson didn't even bother to get up and simply greeted him. "Hello, Grandpa."

This infuriated the Larson family relatives.

"Oh, Yvette Larson, you're not even the Larson family head yet. How could you be so rude already? We're your uncles and aunties. How could you ignore us?" The one who had spoken was the wife of the second son of Joseph Larson's second brother.

Her name was Helen Landon. She was the meanest amongst them all and always tried to stir trouble up for Yvette Larson.

Yvette Larson glared at Helen Landon, so much so that the latter was slightly fearful.

"What are you doing? This is the office. Are you going to beat us up?"

Yvette Larson smiled. "Oh, so you know this is the office too. Rules are rules. The first rule in the Larson Corporation is that we disregard your position and status at home and look only at your position and status in the company. I'm the Larson Corporation's CEO. I remember that you seem to work in the Larson Corporation too. Was it as the Deputy Director of Sanitation? Go out and knock before entering again."

Yvette Larson's boldness scared Helen Landon. Nonetheless, the latter refused to leave the room. 'The whole Larson family would probably hear of it if I were to leave now. Then, I would definitely be made fun of!'

She looked at Joseph Larson, "Uncle, this is the granddaughter that you raised. She's so disrespectful and rude. Do you think she's worthy of being the CEO or the Larson family head?"

Yvette Larson took off her employee badge. "Grandpa, Auntie Helen is right. I'm too disrespectful to be the Larson Corporation's CEO. I must do my duties as the CEO. Since I can't satisfy the public, I have no choice but to resign from my position."

With that, she placed her badge on the desk and headed out.

This stunned all her relatives.

Today was unlike any other day.

Everyone was clear that the Larson family had invested all of their money into the project with the Sullivan family. If that project were to fall through, the Larson family would go bankrupt.

But now, the Sullivan family refused to have any contact with the Larson family. The only one who could do so was Yvette Larson.

If she were to leave this office today, the Larson family would really be doomed.

Joseph Larson didn't say anything but glared at Helen Landon with a cold gaze.

All the other relatives quickly turned their eyes to her too.

"Helen Landon, Yvette was right. Although you're her elder, you're her subordinate in the company. You are the one who's being disrespectful. I think you should be the one resigning instead."

"That's right. Yvette is the Larson Corporation's CEO, so how could you be so disrespectful toward her?"

These relatives knew no shame. In an instant, Helen Landon was being painted as the bad guy.

Even she panicked.

Eventually, she stood up and walked out. Then, she stood at the door and knocked gently. "C-CEO, can I come in?"

Yvette Larson didn't say a word and simply nodded stiffly and proudly.

"Alright, we're all family. Why are we fighting with each other?" Eleanor Larson was kind and took the initiative to bring Helen Landon in.

Only then did the Old Master speak up. "Yvette, your Auntie Helen has already admitted to her mistake. Just let this matter go."

Yvette Larson didn't say a word, and time ticked by.

Each second was torture for the Larson family. They were really fearful that Yvette Larson would simply leave.

If she were to do that, it would mark the Larson family's end.

Ten minutes passed before Yvette Larson picked up her employee badge and wore it again.

The Larson family relatives finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Yvette, we're here to ask you if you've gotten in contact with the Sullivan family." Joseph Larson was pleased that his granddaughter hadn't chosen to abandon their family after all.

"It's been settled, Grandpa."

Yvette Larson didn't gain the Larson family's approval with those words. On the contrary, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief—or rather, suspicion.

Not a single one of them believed her.

"Settled? That can't be. Yvette, you haven't even gone out today." Eleanor Larson's question revealed her deep distrust in what her cousin had said.

"Yvette, although all the elders are here, you don't have to feel too pressured. It was all my fault. If you think it's too difficult, you can let me know. I'll go to Xander Corporation and kneel there until Hunter Sullivan shows up. You can't lie to us just because you feel pressured. This project concerns the whole Larson family's survival. We have to know the truth; don't conceal it." Although Quince Larson seemed to be blaming himself, he was clearly accusing his cousin of lying to everyone.

In fact, most of the Larson family members present even agreed with him.

Even Joseph Larson shook his head gently. He didn't believe his granddaughter either.
