Chapter 19
The finance staff member looked terrified, as Patrick didn’t usually speak that way in the company
Lindsey smiled. “Mr. Jennings, don’t frighten him. After all, he’s just following orders. As long as you remember who has the final say in this company, that’s all that matters.”
Patrick suddenly felt a toothache coming on.
As Lindsey went in, Patrick gave the finance department staff a meaningful look.
Before long, the finance department personnel brought in several large boxes of account books. “They’re all here. Ms. Riley, feel free to check them if you wish.”
With that, they returned to their posts and even started playing with their phones.
Lindsey’s lips curled into a smile as she said, “Mr. Jennings, is this how you usually manage the company? You don’t care that your employees are playing with their phones during work hours?”
Patrick cleared his throat. “Who said you could play with your phones Do you all want to have your salaries docked! However. Lindsey, you must understand. The finance department’s work hours are irregular sometimes there’s no time to eat, and other times there’s not much to do.”
Lindsey nodded. “Alright Since there’s nothing to do, then read these reports to me. I’m too lazy to look at them”
Lindsey was checked.
well aware that since Patrick was so openly showing her these reports, he must be prepared. She wouldn’t find anything even if she
She felt it would be better to take this opportunity to vent her frustration from being bulliedj
1 just now,
At that moment, the finance department staff looked quite upset. They cursed Lindsey in their hearts for putting on such airs all giving them so much trouble as soon as she arrived. What a troublemaker.
Patrick casually pointed at two people, “You, and you, didn’t you hear what Lindsey just said! Hurry up and come over
The ones pointed at reluctantly approached, looking at Lindsey with resentment.
“Read it,” Lindsey lazily instructed.
The two rolled their eyes before picking up the account books and began to read.
After listening for a while, Lindsey dug in her ear. “Oh, how annoying. It’ll take forever to read all these. Just tell me, how much money is left in the company account
She looked impatient. The finance staff hesitated and glanced at Patrick
“Why are you looking at me Lindsey is asking you a question; just answer truthfully,” Patrick said nonchalantly.
The finance staff member spoke timidly, “T–there’s still 110 thousand dollars.”
Even though Lindsey had mentally prepared herself, she was still shocked upon hearing the number. “How could it be so little!”
Florence was also extremely surprised. The company’s performance is clearly decent, there’s no way there’s only this much money”
Such a small amount was nowhere near enough to invest in a TV drama.
Patrick looked pained. “Lindsey, you’ve never managed the company, so you don’t know. The economy has been bad these past few years; very line of the money we invest comes back.
“Even when we make a profit, it’s just a meager amount, barely enough to keep the company running”
Lindsey glanced at him. “Tm sure you understand better than I do where this money has gone. Ms. Calloway, let’s go
Florence followed behind Lindsey. Watching Lindsey’s distant figure, she felt a hit sad, thinking that she had failed to protect Elaine’s company and had let Elaine down.
y took Florence to a cafe. She pursed her lips, seeming to want to say something but finding it hard to speak.
Lindsey
“Lindsey, it’s okay. It’s all my fault for not being capable. If you want to take the company back, I’ll definitely help you.” Florence held Lindsey’s

hand, her expression resolute
*Ms. Calloway, I don’t want Luminova anymore,” Lindsey said indifferently.
Florence was taken aback and sighed. She had thought Lindsey had finally found her fighting spirit, but it seemed to be just a fleeting interest.
Seeing Lindsey revert to her old self after a minor setback, she felt she had placed too high expectations on her.
“Can you really just stand by and watch your mother’s legacy fall into someone else’s hands? Lindsey, you’re too weak,” Florence said disappointedly.
Lindsey shook her head. “Ms. Calloway, you’ve misunderstood me. Luminova is now so rotten inside. Even if I forcibly take it back, cleaning up this mess would be too troublesome. I want to start a new company and when the time is right, acquire Luminova”
Florence hadn’t anticipated Lindsey’s idea and was momentarily stunned by it. The concept was rather bold.
However, upon careful consideration, she didn’t agree with Lindsey’s approach. “No. Founding a company requires a significant investment of capital, and you don’t have the funds right now.
“Moreover, Luminova is, after all, what your mother left you with; you can’t just hand it over to someone else. Florence still had feelings for Luminoa”
Lindsey smiled syly. “Ms. Calloway, I have money, and I have a lot of it. You needn’t worry about the funding.
“As for Laminova, the shares have always been in my possession, so it’s not like I’m giving it away to others. Patrick is, at the end of the day, just an employee, looking after the company on my behalf
“Lindsey, starting a company isn’t as easy as you think. You might have a few hundred thousand dollars at most, but that wouldn’t make a splashe what use would it be?” Florence thought Lindsey was being unrealistic.
Lindsey wasn’t annoyed, and she took out a bank card. “Ms. Calloway, this card has a million dollars on it. Is that enough as startup capital! If not, let me know
Florence looked at Lindsey sharply, too surprised to speak.
Her gaze fell on the bank card, hier lips trembling slightly. “Lindsey, where did you get so much money?”
She knew Lindsey’s situation in the Riley family was poor, Anthony wouldn’t give her that much money. And with Luminova controlled by Olivia and Patrick, the annual dividends hardly ever reached her hands.
“I earned it Lindsey smiled brightly.
Florence looked at Lindsey curiously for a while before hesitantly speaking, “Lindsey, we mustn’t resort to illegal or unethical means just to make money. As a young woman, you should cherish your body..”
“Ms. Calloway, what are you thinking? Rest assured, the money is legitimately earned from my designs, Lindsey smiled calmly.
Florence was finally relieved.
“So, M. Calloway, would you be willing to leave Luminova and work with me?” Lindsey looked at Florence intently.
Florence sighed amusedly. “Well, it seems I’m destined to help your mother and you make money for the rest of my life.”
Lindsey giggled. “Ms. Calloway, I’ll need your help with the follow–up matters. What do you think of the name Eläindsey Productions for the new company!
Hearing the name, Florence paused for a moment, then nodded. “Good, it’s very meaningful”
Lindsey took out another bank card and pushed it towards Florence. “Ms. Calloway, use the money on this card to invest in Fateful Encounter. We must not miss out on this series,”
Florence nodded blankly. Although she wasn’t sure if Lindsey’s move was right or wrong, she was ready to take action.
“By the way, Lindsey, the company can’t just invest, we need our own performers. How about I recruit a few talent scouts? Oh, and we’ll need agents and performer assistants. Florence said.
Lindsey smiled. “You handle the recruitment as you are it. I do have a list of performers and agents here, and I want you to sign them to our company at all costs.”
