Chapter 682
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Upon hearing the manâs direct question, Lindsey abandoned any evasiveness.
She composed herself and asked, âMr.
Walsh, Iâve heard that you plan to purchase Cherish.
Is that correct?â
Affirming her inquiry, the man responded, âYes.
Is there an issue?â
Meeting his gaze evenly, Lindsey expressed her request.
âIâd like you to reconsider your decision.
â
A subtle shadow flickered in the manâs eyes.
âGive me a reason.
â
Maintaining her composure, Lindsey explained, âCherish may be a small brand for the Vitality Group, but for my mother, Juanita, it represents a lifetime of dedication.
If Cherish is acquired, it severs any connection my mother has to it.
As her daughter, I wish to preserve the legacy of the brand she worked so hard to establish.
â
The manâs lips curled into a measured smile.
âI understand youâre Juanitaâs daughter, but do you grasp the future implications for Cherish if we doesnât proceed with the purchase?â
Observing the manâs composed demeanor, Lindsey deduced that perhaps he was willing to meet her out of consideration for her motherâs sake.
Despite running her own company, Lindsey only had hastily acquired some business knowledge at the last minute.
She refrained from flaunting her newfound expertise before a seasoned business leader.
In a soft tone, she expressed, âI would appreciate learning more about it.
â
Leaning against the back of the chair, the man gazed at Lindsey.
âCherish rose above the competition due to your mother Juanitaâs distinctive design style, entering the forefront of the Luxury market.
Consumers are drawn not just to the brand, but also to the renowned designer, Anti.
With Anti in the hospital, Cherish has lost its main support.
When a newly established brand loses its support, it spells disaster for the brand.
Furthermore, the business arena is akin to a battlefield.
Competitors have been awaiting the opportunity to exploit its weaknesses and destroy it swiftly.
Currently, Cherish is susceptible to easy destruction.
â
Lindsey gazed at the man, his words landing like a heavy blow upon her heart.
Following the manâs elucidation, Lindseyâs heart plummeted again as though she had fallen into an endless abyss.
Was there really no avenue for redemption?
Her motherâs tireless efforts-were they all destined to be in vain?
Observing Lindseyâs despondent expression, the man offered a faint smile and remarked, âIn fact, the reason behind our acquisition of Cherish is to preserve its existence.
Within the LMH Group, there exist several Luxury brands, and Cherish, in its current state, poses a dilemma for them.
If we donât step in, Cherish will face two possible outcomes.
First, it will merge with other LMH brands, ceasing to exist as Cherish.
The alternative will be selling Cherish to other companies at a meager price, allowing them to dissipate its remaining value.
â
Frowning, Lindsey looked up at the man before her.
She inquired, âIsnât the Vitality Group also acquiring Cherish for its remaining brand value?â
The man sneered.
âDo you think Vitality Group concerns itself with such a negligible residual value?â
âThen why acquire Cherish? As you mentioned, Cherish has reached this dire state, with even the LMH Group unwilling to salvage it.
What, precisely, are you aiming for?â Lindsey peered into the manâs eyes, seeking answers in their depths.
The man cast a fleeting glance at the camera in the reception room and cleared his throat before offering Lindsey a kind smile.
âI admire Juanita and the legacy of Cherish she founded.
I firmly believe that Juanita will awaken one day.
When that moment arrives, it will mark a new beginning for Cherish.
A time when it will once again bask in glory.
â
Lindseyâs eyes widened involuntarily.
âAre you suggestingâ¦â
The man nodded affirmatively.
âFollowing the acquisition of Cherish, I plan to invest substantially in securing top-tier designers from both domestic and international arenas.
Our goal is to exert every effort to maintain Cherishâs esteemed position in the realm of luxury brands.
Rest assured, Juanita will continue to hold her pivotal roles as the chief designer and general manager of Cherish.
Upon her awakening, I will seamlessly transfer the managerial reins of Cherish back to her without altering anything.
If you have any doubts, we can formalize our commitment through a signed agreement.
You are welcome to stipulate the conditions to your satisfaction.
â
Upon hearing his words, Lindsey was rendered speechless, her astonishment too profound for words.
The renowned Vitality Group had willingly taken on the challenges presented by Cherish, signifying their commitment to safeguarding the brand.
The implication was clear: Cherish was acquired not for exploitation but for protection.
Once Juanita regained consciousness, the plan was to return Cherish to her.
