Chapter 146 âHow do you intend to have someone bear the cost of damage?â Sean Smith asked.
âDidnât we promise to hand over our subsidiary, Diva Limited, over to the Zabinski family?â Samuel Smith said with a cold smile.
âSince the Zabinski family intends to wipe us out, we shouldnât hand Diva Limited over to them. Instead, we should let Bensonâs family have it!â
The old man was stunned. âWhat? Give Diva Limited to that ingrate, Benson?â
Samuel nodded. âThatâs right. We wonât just give him Diva Limited. Weâll also invite him back into the family.â
Sean stared at him wide-eyed. âI chased them out, but weâre going to ask them to come back now and even offer them a subsidiary?â
âI got it now, Dad,â Paul said with a grin. âThis is what Samuel meant when he said to have someone else bear the cost of damage.
âWe said weâd give Diva Limited to the Zabinski family, so itâs very likely that theyâll send someone over to claim it from us.
âBut if we offer Benson the company too, thereâs a high chance that he and the Zabinskis will start a fight over Diva!â
Samuel grinned. âThatâs right. Weâre going to have Benson bore the cost of damage on our behalf!
âBesides, Benson can share some of our burdens if we invite him and his family back.â
That idea finally dawned upon Sean Smith. âI see what you mean now,â he said with a smile. âAlright. Weâll invite Benson back into the family and let him have Diva Limited by tomorrow!â
......
The next morning, Sean and the rest of the family dropped by Bensonâs residence at the Riverside Garden bringing them various gifts.
Benson Smith and his family were so surprised that they hurriedly invited everyone into the house.
Sean thanked Nathan and Penny for saving Samuel last night, then turned to Benson. âIâve made some mistakes in the past, Benson. Iâm here today to invite you and your family back into the Smith clan!â
Benson was filled with excitement and disbelief.
But Leah felt rather doubtful. âThis is too much to handle. You might kick us out again if we make you guys upset one day.â
âDad is being completely earnest this time, Leah,â Samuel said with a grin.
âThatâs right,â Paul chimed in. âDad has even decided to hand our biggest subsidiary, Diva Limited, over to you and your family.
From now on, every cent Diva makes will be yours!â
Benson and Leah werenât the only ones who were shocked.
Even Nathan and Penny exchanged glances. At this rate, pigs might fly!
Benson was honest and kind-hearted by nature.
His eyes watered at the fact that his father had come to apologize to him personally and invite him back into the family. The old man had even given him Diva Limited, which was worth over five hundred million!
âIâm eternally grateful, Dad. I donât want Diva Limited, but Iâll return to the Smith clan.â
Sean chuckled while holding Bensonâs hand. âNo, I have to compensate you. Diva will be yours from now on. But I must remind you to manage it well. Donât ruin such a fine company, or Iâll be extremely disappointed with you!â
Benson used to think his father never gave him a chance to prove himself, but now his time had come.
He was overwhelmed with excitement and he declared loudly, âIâll definitely manage Diva well, Dad. Iâll never let it fall until the day I die.â
âAlright. I shall wait and see,â Sean said with an ambiguous smirk.
