Hearing these words, Sadie fell into deep thought. She considered the possibility of purchasing the factories herself and asking Jonathan and a few of her father's former colleagues to assist in their management. This way, she could familiarize herself with the business... With everything that had happened recently, she increasingly realized how well-protected she had been by her father, lacking survival skills and resilience. She was even struggling to keep a regular job and earn enough to support her kids... Even though her father had left her with ample financial security, she couldn't just burn through her inheritance. Plus, as a mother, she should set a good example for her children. But purchasing and rebooting the factories wasn't going to be easy...

She had never managed a company before and knew little about her father's business. The idea of spending $70,000,000 to acquire the factories and starting from scratch was daunting...

"The Roth Group used to focus primarily on real estate but also operated ten factories producing clothing and jewelry. Seven were in other states and shut down with the Roth Group's bankruptcy. These three factories were saved by the CEO's connections, hoping to leave them for you. Unfortunately, they were snatched through vile means by Felipe and Frank..." Jonathan recounted the past bitterly.

"I hate that I was powerless against them and just resigned to the fact that these factories were still churning. But to think that these people couldn't keep things running after just four years..."

"They were just parasites living off my dad's success, with no real skills of their own. After my dad passed away, they latched onto the Potter family for a few years. Now that the Potter family has fallen apart, naturally, they can't keep the business afloat," she explained.

Sadie sighed and tentatively asked, "Mr. Chase, are you here to suggest that I buy those factories?"

"No, no, no," Jonathan shook his head emphatically. "With the CEOgone and your useless uncles and cousins, you, as a woman, already have a hard enough life. Where would you get the money to buy factories?" "What do you intend to do, then?"

"I've talked it over with a few of your father's trusted former subordinates. If we pool our money, we can just about afford one factory. We have confidence that we can turn it around and make it successful in the future." Jonathan spoke with passion, "I want you to join us as a stakeholder. Not for you to put in money but to bring your expertise to the table. Didn't you study design back in the day? These factories are all about clothing. Your skills would be perfect." Hearing this, Sadie was deeply touched. This wasn't just about getting her to invest; it was clear that they knew about her current unsettled life and lack of steady work. They were looking out for her future and giving her a chance to earn an income.

"Even though you graduated from a prestigious university, you lack work experience. Outside, you might only get secretarial jobs, which don't offer much of a future," Jonathan continued. "Come work with us, and we can pass on everything your father taught us. Once you've mastered it, you can go and do your own business. That'll give you some confidence for the road ahead in life."

"Thank you, Mr. Chase..." Sadie's eyes brimmed with tears of gratitude, "I really appreciate it."

"Don't mention it. We all benefited from your father's kindness. Now's our time to pay it forward," Jonathan said, smiling modestly. "Besides, taking over that factory could be profitable for us."

"I'll need to think it over and get back to you in a few days. Is that okay?" Sadie wanted to be cautious.

"Of course, take your time to think." Jonathan nodded. "By the way, have you received the things your father left for you?"

"Not yet, I've been there once," Sadie replied. "For now, keeping it at the cemetery seems safer."

"You should check what he left sooner rather than later, especially anything about your mother. It might be useful to you..."
