The executives clearly had long held a grudge against Renee, but no one dared to voice out because of Liam. Liam was out of town for this meeting, so Laura took the lead, ready to embarrass Renee.

�Miss Everheart, you�ve been far away all these years. You probably don�t know much about the company�s difficulties. While you�re here today, please allow our CFO, Mr. Schwartz to present our true accounts��

After saying that, Laura turned to Schwartz in the corner.

Schwartz stood up and bowed to the crowd. He said with a heavy expression, �Azure Group has indeed grown over the years. However, the operating costs have risen significantly. The construction of the two centers costs a lot of resources. At present, our account is already in a serious deficit. Don�t talk about profits. If we can�t obtain new investments, even survival is difficult��

Schwartz made a detailed data graph regarding the company�s financial situation. Indeed, it looked really alarming.

Renee furrowed her brows hard. She had no idea that Azure Group was in a financial crisis!

Renee had been working with Liam on Azure Group for several years. Liam always complained about having no money and running out of resources but still presented only good results to her. As a result, Renee could do research and planning in peace. However, in reality� Laura grunted at Renee�s stunned expression.

�Seems like my crazily-in- love brother has been reporting only the good news and not the bad. He must have made you very happy. To be frank, Azure Group won�t last much longer. Neither will the Osborne family. If you�re looking out for the group, you shouldn�t give Liam more problems now. We no longer have extra funds to build this and that!�

�That�s right! Miss Everheart, please! Have more consideration. We can�t build any new centers anymore!�

Most of the management was conservative and agreed. Besides, the group had cash flow difficulties. The management wanted business as usual and could not afford much higher risk.

After a long silence, Renee said sternly, �I understand the company�s situation now. I�m sorry for the suffering I caused you. I�ll find a way to solve the funding issues.�

After the meeting ended, Renee felt a little heavy-hearted. She was too idealistic and thought everything would be easy and smooth. She never thought that Liam had been shouldering the burden!

Renee suddenly felt exhausted. All she wanted to do was have a drink and relax a little. At the same time, her best friend Leia called.

�Hey, Ren. Are you free? Sob� My heart is breaking� Will you come and have a drink with me?� Leia wailed.

Renee had been worried about Leia and wanted a chance to comfort her. Therefore, she agreed without hesitation. �Don�t cry. Where are you? I�ll be right over.�

�We�re going to The Blue Inn. I booked the best seats and the strongest alcohol. We won�t be going home sober tonight!� Leia sounded like she was already tipsy and excited.

The Blue Inn!

This bar was very popular as of late. Renee had heard about it a long time ago. The Blue Inn was the place women frequented when they wanted to be entertained.

In the current era, women in the city were under a lot of stress. Those who worked, those who had failed relationships, those with children, and those taking exams� Like men, they all needed a way to relax.

When this bar was launched, it became very popular right away. That�s why Renee hadn�t been able to make a reservation there all this time. She had long wanted to go there to experience what it felt like. JrNovels.com
