Goff Inc. would end up as just another subsidiary under the Austin Group.
The three of them sat there in silence, the air feeling heavier than ever. “Dad, it’s time to decide,” Kennedy said quietly. “We don’t want this, but we can’t change what’s already happened.”
Otto pressed his lips together, clearly struggling. “Max’s only demand is that we cut Jessie off for good. I can’t bring myself to do that. If we refuse, he’ll just keep coming for us, bit by bit.”
Adam finally spoke. “If keeping the company means becoming a subsidiary, maybe it’s the best we can hope for.”
Kennedy nodded at his brother, both of them understanding what their father had decided.
“We’re with you,” they said.
Otto just looked tired, as if he’d aged decades in the span of a single conversation.
...
“Kristina, what are you trying to find?” Paola watched her granddaughter dig through the drawers, her curiosity obvious.
Kristina forced a laugh. “Oh, it’s nothing. Just looking around.”
Truth was, she’d just snapped a few photos with her phone, but she didn’t want her grandmother to catch on.
Paola gave her a knowing look. “You’re always up to something, I can tell.”
Samuel set down his finance magazine and glanced at his mother. “Mom, Otto came to me a few days ago, asked if we could help them out. I said no.”
He continued, “The Goff family must have pissed off Clarkson Corporation somehow. If we step in, we’ll end up on their bad side too.”
Samuel couldn’t help his resentment toward Otto. Ever since Anna passed away, Otto had barely visited her grave, which was a sore spot for the Davidson family. He hardly saw his grandkids from that side anymore, either. Whatever closeness they’d once had had faded away with Anna’s death. Samuel had to look out for his own family first.
Paola let out a deep sigh. “You did the right thing. Still, I wonder what made Clarkson Corporation go after them.”
