Chapter 168: Meet Uncle Liam

It was already 4 PM when Irina knocked on her office door. Irina informs her that Uncle Liam had arrived and was waiting in the lounge.

She asks Irina to take Uncle Liam to her office.

Mel standing in front of the large glass window waiting for Uncle Liam to arrive. She had not seen him in a long time. The last time she saw him was when she was 10 years old, a few months before she and her mother suddenly moved to Moscow.

At the time, she was too young to understand what happened to her mother and father. But one thing she remembered was that their move was really too sudden.

They didn’t bring anything. Only body and passport in hand. They also did not have time to say goodbye to their closest family and friends. Only Grandma took them to the airport. After she wakes up from the coma, things start to clear up when Grandma tells her why they had to run away from J City.

"Little Mel?" Mel suddenly turned around to look at the door when she heard her uncle’s voice. She saw a tall, thin man with round glasses standing in front of the open door, his face looking shocked.

"U-uncle Liam..." Mel walked over to him. "It’s me, Mel. I hope uncle doesn’t forget me."

Uncle Liam stops his step right before Mel. He lifts his hand and taps the top of her hair. He does that as a habit when he meets his little Niece, "You’re already this tall. You look more and more like your mother."

Mel smiled as she asked uncle Liam to sit on the sofa. Then she instructed Irina to prepare tea for him.

"Uncle, thank you for taking your time to come to my office."

"Little Mel, Uncle, who is very grateful that you want to see me. Several times I asked Aunty Ellen about you, but she never told me in detail about how you were." He still couldn’t believe he was seeing his Niece again.

Shortly after Irina came to the room, she brought two cups of tea and left Mel and Uncle Liam alone in the room.

Mel is opening the conversation by telling uncle Liam about her life in the last ten years. Including the tragic story of her late mother, who died in Moscow and she had to be rushed to country M due to severe injuries. She was in a coma for two years. After that, she continued her life in M country.

Uncle Liam shed tears several times when he is listening to Mel’s story. Mel is glad Uncle Liam shed tears. That means she wouldn’t cry alone. The story of her past still makes her cry, and she always shed tears whenever she told the story to her closest family or friends.

"Little Mel, I’m really sorry, because when you needed someone, uncle wasn’t there to help you. I know your mom up there must be very disappointed in me."

"Uncle, don’t be sad and feel guilty like this, please. At that time, Grandma had no choice. She hid my accident and my whereabouts from Tanner. She was worried that my father would get custody of me. That’s why Grandma deliberately hid me, and I’m always grateful for that decision."

"I know... if Tanner gets their hands on you, Auntie Ellen will miss you a lot because when her only child, your mother, died, you are the only one that reminds Auntie Allen of her. She would’ve been devastated if Tanner had taken custody of you."

Mel just nodded at her uncle.

After a while, they could calm down and talk about other things in her life and his. They are catching up on things an uncle and his Niece should have had in ordinary life.

Then they arrive at the crucial subject. "I heard from Aunt Ellen, you have a business? Is this your company?" Uncle Liam asked.

Mel nods then explain her purpose of calling Uncle Liam to her office. She wanted to buy Uncle Liam’s company, 2B Property, that he built with his best friend when they were still in college.

Mel knows that Uncle Liam’s company is currently struggling from the brink of bankruptcy.

Their company was founded several years ago. Unfortunately, a few years ago, Uncle Liam’s partner, one of the company’s founders, had embezzled company money for his personal interests. Last year, he ran away with the company’s money abroad and until now he can’t be found. This has made Uncle Liam work very hard to keep the company afloat and cover the company’s debts.

Uncle Liam had to sell all his assets just to prolong the life of the company. He couldn’t bear to witness the company he has built since his college days has to stop just like that.

"Little Mel, you want to buy my company?" Uncle Liam asked in a shocking tone. He didn’t imagine Mel calling him here also includes such a life-changing offer.

Currently, he has told his employees that his company can only survive until this month. Next month he will declare the company bankrupt. Because he no longer has money to pay off company debts and pay employee salaries. While the ongoing projects are not much. A big client they have handled for so long has decided to terminate their contracts. It seems because they are afraid that their company’s internal problems will affect the service.

"Yes, uncle."

"Little Mel, uncle will not lie to you. My company needs a lot of money to pay debts. The company assets are not enough to pay all debts, and our projects are not much either." He didn’t want his Niece to lose money to buy his nearly bankrupt company.

He adds, "I think dear, it is risky for you if you decide to buy my company. Uncle does not allow you to do that, little Mel." He didn’t want his Niece, who had suffered since childhood, to have to suffer again to take over his bankrupt company.

Mel smiled, seeing her uncle worried about her. She knew her uncle would not put money before his own family. That’s why she dared to invest in this bankrupt company while helping her uncle.

"Uncle, please don’t be worried. I already know your company’s problem, and with my experiences and network, I think I could help your company back on its feet. I know what I’m doing."
