“But there are things you need to understand. There is no separation between the equity and the operations of the Sterling Group. The Sterling family tradition has always been that men do not pass on to women. No matter who is in charge of the Sterling Group, it is for the development of the Sterling family.
As for the other subsidiaries and properties of the family, I will have the accounting team calculate them and divide them equally into four parts. You and your siblings will split them equally and draw lots.
I am the one who buried my neck, so I don’t need to be counted.
After the separation, you will be responsible for your own profits and losses. If you run well, your mother will be happy for you. If you don’t run well and lose money, your mother will turn a blind eye.
It’s the same for Gray.
As for your sister-in-law and Ethan’s side, they still need to be separated according to their property.
This is the principle of family separation I wanted to explain to you. If you don’t believe me, you can also consult our family lawyer. He will explain it to you very clearly. I believe you already know something about it.
Of course, your mother has a lot to say.
In fact, in my heart, I am not willing to separate.
After all, we are a family when we are together. When we are separated, we feel strange.
And Isabelle, and Lillian, you have to consider one more point.
That is, after the real separation, whether you have the ability to operate independently.
Now, as for the Sterling Group, I dare not say that it is the best development for some subsidiaries. But at least in some aspects of decision-making, Gray and his team can operate better.
But if you go out on your own, you will be responsible for all of this.
Now you go to work every day. Besides your salary, you get a lot of dividends every year. These are real.
If you divide it out, you will be your own boss. If you make a profit, you bear the loss.
The Sterling family will never care about it again.
So I hope you two can go back and think about it. Discuss it with your husband. Give me a reply after consideration.
In principle, as long as someone wants to separate, I will agree to let her separate!
Of course, if you want to separate, I am still your mother.
If you don’t want to admit it, it doesn’t matter. When you go back to the Sterling Mansion, you can still call me mother!
What your mother says may not be pleasant, but it’s all from my heart.
As for whether you think it’s good or not, you can measure it yourself!” Mrs. Sterling said a lot.
To be honest, I felt a little uncomfortable.
That feeling of working hard to raise children for many years, and finally sending them off with a sense of frustration.
“Mom, don’t say that. You are the mother of Isabelle and me, more than my own mother. I don’t want to separate. I’ll follow you!” Isabelle Sterling cried.
“Isabelle, I don’t mean anything else. If you want to live with me, I will be happy.
But separation is not a trivial matter. You’d better go back and have a good discussion before you decide. Don’t be impulsive and make any decisions.
Think about it. Think about what you really want. Then make a decision.
Even if we are separated, life in our family is basically the same as before. I am glad that you can come to dinner at any time. Come to see me at any time!” Mrs. Sterling replied.
Later, Isabelle Sterling and Lillian Sterling went back to their small home.
Mrs. Sterling sat alone in her original position. She looked at the crescent moon outside the window. Her mood was very complicated.
In her own heart, she didn’t agree with the separation at all.
No matter whether it is a family or not, if it is divided, it means each is his own family.
She was already in her twilight years. Today, not tomorrow. And her son Thomas was gone.
If she could, she would rather exchange all her possessions for her son’s safety.
No matter how much money she had, she couldn’t buy back the person she wanted most.
What’s more, these things are not brought by life or death.
No matter how much, she couldn’t enjoy it. It was better for her children and grandchildren to live happily for a few days.
But then again, she couldn’t ask everyone to think the same way as she did for her own sake. And she had to follow her wishes.
And it was really hard for Gray to support the whole family by himself.
So instead of insisting on things that couldn’t make everyone happy, it was better to go along with everyone’s wishes. Divide what should be divided. It was up to you to decide whether you could live a good life or not in the future.
She was an old woman. She couldn’t manage and couldn’t manage anymore.
Isabelle Sterling and Lillian Sterling were walking towards their own home. They were very silent.
When it came to the fork in the road, Lillian Sterling couldn’t help asking.
“Second sister, you don’t really want to separate, do you?”
Isabelle Sterling turned to look at Lillian Sterling.
“Lillian, if you think about what mom said, it’s not unreasonable.
Our life is very good now. It’s enough to spend some and enjoy. If we really split up, we really have to rely on ourselves.”
“Second sister, how can you be brainwashed so easily!
Mom, it’s not because she doesn’t want to separate her family or give us her property.
If you think about our bonus and salary, it’s just a drop in the bucket compared with what we should get.
It’s hard to say that if we really split up, even if our company doesn’t want to continue to open, we can offer it to others. Only that money to do some conservative investment will be enough for us to do nothing and enjoy our whole life!” Lillian Sterling sniffed.
“Lillian, we don’t have children. What do we need so much money for?
Now we don’t want to go to work and travel everywhere. The bonus at the end of each year is enough for us to spend.
I still think it’s better for us not to separate our families!” Isabelle Sterling said.
“Second sister, don’t rush to make a decision. You can go back and discuss it with your brother-in-law!
Besides, didn’t mom say it? After the separation, we will still live the same life as we do now.
Isn’t that also good? Our own property is controlled by ourselves. And we should be filial to the elderly.
You don’t have to be controlled by others and live by people’s faces. Isn’t that better?” Lillian Sterling egged on.
Isabelle Sterling looked at Lillian Sterling. She just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lillian Sterling.
“Second sister, you’d better go back and discuss it with your brother-in-law. Anyway, you’re not in a hurry to make a decision!”
Isabelle Sterling had to nod her head.
“Then I’ll go back. You can think about it when you go back!”
Their husbands, James Hayes and Nathan Cole, had not come home yet.
Evelyn Vance got off work late today. Because she had a piece of information to use in the meeting tomorrow morning. So she had to work overtime in the evening.
Gray Sterling had a dinner party in the evening. He would come back later. So they didn’t work together.
After Evelyn Vance returned to Sterling Mansion, she went directly to the main house as usual.
“Evelyn, have you had dinner?” Mrs. Sterling asked.
“Yes, I worked overtime today. I had dinner at seven.” Evelyn Vance answered.
“Are you still hungry? Or let Chloe cook some more snacks for you!”
“Mom, no. It’s not nine o’clock yet. I’m still holding on!
Mom, I’ll walk with you in the garden!” Evelyn Vance bent over and said.
