Becoming the Richest by Farming
Chapter 344 - 0344 How rich is her sister exactly_1

After all, having a powerful supporter is significant, and this person was her own sister, luckily her real sister.

Lucy Wood only considered herself fortunate.

She had been deeply embroiled in the previous tumult of the Wood Family, and she had dreamt countless times of making Olivia Johnson see her effort.

It was only after numerous setbacks that she realized just how pragmatic the Wood Family could be.

Sometimes it wasn’t Felicia Frost or strangers who deeply questioned her; Lucy Wood herself truly wondered why, even though they were of the same blood, the differences could be so vast.

The calm intelligence of Ellen Young was not devoid of their grandfather’s teaching, but some traits are deeply ingrained in genetics; yet Ellen Young did not have any of the Wood Family’s bad habits.

Perhaps it wasn’t an issue of bad habits; even Lucy Wood knew very well that aside from the ingrained selfishness, the Woods at least maintained a facade of harmony and cordiality in public.

Had it not been for Edward Wood’s realistic actions tearing apart this facade, many would still believe Olivia Johnson to be that kind of lofty lady.

Being a wealthy family, it was shocking how severely the Wood Family favored sons over daughters.

Ellen Young, upon hearing Lucy Wood’s words, simply curved her lips into a faint smile, seemingly affirming, "Some things indeed require effort to reap rewards."

Lucy Wood nodded, and then she brought up a matter with some doubt, "I need to tell you something about Grandpa."

Ellen Young patted Blackie’s head, "What is it?"

Lucy Wood expressed her confusion, "Grandpa said he wants to transfer the company to me; they don’t plan to come back. I don’t really understand it; he clearly knows I was the one who transferred him to another hospital, causing my dad to be extremely anxious, yet he still wants to hand over the company to me. It doesn’t make sense, especially since selling it off would be better, and their company isn’t failing."

She also had no interest in inheriting it.

Ellen Young paused for a moment, "Did you agree?"

Lucy Wood, hesitating, shook her head, "I think there’s a problem."

"Of course, there’s a problem," Ellen Young’s smile was especially clear now, "The Wood company has been unstable lately, it could be sold, but considering the numerous shareholders, it’s not so easy to sell. Many things are intertwined. How could Daniel Wood have the time? Borrowing money is a different story. Using the company’s name to borrow a large sum from the bank, and then borrowing from others, manipulating things in the background, the Wood company would become an empty shell. Even if you inherit it, when the Woods can’t pay back the money, guess who they will come looking for?"

After all, Ellen Young hadn’t done anything to the company. The current strife was the situation with Daniel Wood and the shareholders being at odds; the company was still operating well, but if the Wood company suddenly started borrowing, it would be a different matter.

Furthermore, given that the company had no history of regulatory violations, banks would grant loans quite readily.

Lucy Wood: "..."

Her face turned a shade paler.

She mainly had no experience with the family’s affairs and was unaware things could be manipulated like this.

"It can’t be, I haven’t heard of my dad borrowing from people."

"There is."

Ellen Young said lightly, "A few days ago, the Wood company applied for a research loan related to technology, the kind supported by the country, for fifteen billion, coincidentally, the bank is under Wanton’s flag. The person in charge sensed something was off, the message got to Clinton White, and he held off acting on it. Guess whether the Wood company really wants to develop technology or not?"

Lucy Wood’s face was still pale, but her expression became even more shocked, "There’s a bank under Wanton’s flag!"

Just how wealthy was her sister???

Ellen Young: "..."

Indeed, she focused on the wrong point.
