My Mute Bride Chapter 285
Chapter 285 Based on the Six Forms I Have
The Carter Enterprise? Everyone looked askance at each other. They had heard that Rachel was
goddaughter of the president of Carter Enterprise and his wife. Rachel also had a very good
rtionship with the daughter of the Carter Family. Besides, it was public knowledge that the Carter
Enterprise was keen to take over Hudson Pharmaceuticals.
Just then, Amber spoke. “Everyone, today’s my dad’s funeral so by right, we shouldn’t be talking about
work. However, my dad has put his life into Hudson Pharmaceuticals, and that’s also why I have no
choice but to step up and defend hispany. I have to stop someone else from selling off our family
business.
I realize that it was my dad who caused the current crisis in Hudson Pharmaceuticals, but he has also
stepped up and bore the entire responsibility to uphold the reputation of our business. Everyone
present here has watched me grow up, so please have faith in me. I’ll definitely be able to redevelop
the business.”
Each of them present was quite smart, so they were aware that Amber’s exaggerated words had no
substance at all.
“Amber, it’s not that we refuse to support you, but the expenses of thepany have exceeded the
ie and we’ve got a serious cash flow issue. The existing contracts have all been terminated and
we are currently facing a huge penalty for all of the contractual breaches, so how can you possibly
continue operating thepany by yourself?”
“Exactly. We’ve got a very serious cash flow issue. How can you maintain operations?”
Meanwhile, Amber grabbed Justin’s elbow as she faced everyone’s remarks. “I won’t be operating the
company by myself. Justin has promised me that he will provide the cash to resolve the penalty for the
contractual breaches and help us get through this difficult stage. This will only be possible if each of
you agrees to allow me to inherit Hudson Pharmaceuticals, and appoint me as the executive manager.”
“Is that true?”
“President Burton, I thought you’ve already called off the engagement with Amber?”
“Yeah. Why is he willing to help?”
Just then, Justin frowned and discreetly withdrew his hand from Amber’s. Subsequently, he was about
to say something when Rachel’s voice rang out and interjected him.
“I’m sure President Burton must treasure their previous rtionship, so he’s willing to offer his help.
However, I’m not too sure whether he’s using the pretext of helping thepany just to pave the way
for his takeover of Hudson Pharmaceuticals in the future.”
At that point, Amber’s expression turned. “What sort of nonsense are you on about?! Justin would
never do that!”
“If you’re so sure that he’s not going to do that, then what’s this?”
At that, Rachel took out a document in front of everyone and handed it over to the main representative
of the shareholders. “Mr. Raymond, take a look at this.”
The first page of the document was printed with the logo of Burton Group and the words in bold were
quite eye-catching—’Proposal on Hudson Pharmaceuticals Takeover’.
Justin’s expression changed instantly. The proposal had been in his office all this while and it was a
confidential document. How did she get hold of this?
Amongst the uproar, Rachel continued to mock him with an indifferent look. “Amber, if you had no idea,
then this clearly shows that you’re not smart enough. You’re not aplished enough to be a
professional manager. However, if you knew about this, then you’ve betrayed your ownpany and
aided your enemy to infiltrate thepany.”
Just then, no matter which option took precedence, Amber clearly wasn’t suited to inherit Hudson
Pharmaceuticals.
Meanwhile, she couldn’te up with the words to exin herself as the crowd shot her doubtful
looks.
“Even so, I was just thinking of the future of Hudson Pharmaceuticals!”
In the end, Amber made a reckless decision. “Well, you’re also helping Carter Enterprise to take over
Hudson Pharmaceuticals, so why can’t I allow Justin to help me? Besides, it’s quite logical for me to
inherit the business. Meanwhile, you’re just an illegitimate daughter without any legal identity. What
right do you have to inherit Hudson Pharmaceuticals?”
“Well, based on the six forms I have in my hands, I will be eligible to inherit the business.”
Forms? As soon as Rachel said that, everyone at the scene looked at her with incredulous
expressions.
“Rachel, what are you on about? Did you discover some forms? What sort of forms are they?”
The person who asked this was one of the representatives of the shareholders—Evan Holt. He was the
son of Old Mr. Hudson’s butler, and he had gone overseas for his studies and then returned to work for
Hudson Pharmaceuticals. He had been highly valued by Jefferey and he was also one of the
shareholder representatives now.
From Rachel’s investigation, she found out that he was one of the few shareholders who dared to
challenge Jefferey’s decisions. He was a man of integrity and he frowned upon Amber’s behavior.
Just then, Rachel responded, “Mr. Holt, what other form could it be? Other than those six forms
inherited from the Hudson ancestors, do you think there’s anything else that could restore Hudson
Pharmaceuticals to its former glory?”
“Are the forms in your hands?”

“Of course. My mother got me to recite it since I was young and I know it off the top of my head.”
“Your mother?”
Evan’s expression was stricken as he mumbled, “Your mother is…”
They were at the Hudson Family cemetery, and the look he shot through the corner of his eyes was in
the direction of Selena’s grave.
Instantly, Rachel noticed that and she knew that he was aware of her identity.
“Mr. Holt, with the six forms I have in my hands, am I still ineligible to inherit thepany?
Furthermore, I’m nning to inherit thepany by buying over everyone’s shares, unlike someone
else who wants everyone to bear the risk along with her.”
“Rachel, you are obviously taking advantage of the situation! No one knows whether the forms are
legit or not. Besides, look at what era we are in now! The forms for Eastern medicine are pretty
much useless. Everyone currently uses Western medicine!”
Amber was angered beyond herself and sheshed out at Rachel furiously. “Stop your wishful thinking!
You won’t be able toy your hands on Hudson Pharmaceuticals!”
“Enough!” Suddenly, Evan cut in and interrupted Amber’s tirade. “Eastern medicine is useless? Who
was the one that told you that?!”
Suddenly, the crowd’s titters slowly dissipated in the vast cemetery and silence descended.
Evan was a man of strong integrity and he was well-respected by all of the shareholders, so even
Amber didn’t dare to cross him.
Just then, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she guiltily eximed, “Mr. Holt.”
Meanwhile, Evan shot a look at Amber. “Hudson Pharmaceuticals is a family business, but the people
present today aren’t all members of the Hudson n. Many years back, Hudson Pharmacy
encountered some slight instabilities so the decision was made to introduce a shareholding system,
and everyone who worked for thepany, even all the workers, were eligible to purchase the shares.
My father became a shareholder back then and now I’ve inherited that…”
“Everyone present today owns some or even plenty of shares in thepany. You guys might not be
aware of how the Hudsons made their fortune, as it was all in the past during the reform period. They
made their fortune from the six forms mentioned. Without the forms, Hudson Pharmacy would not
exist and subsequently, there would be no Hudson Pharmaceuticals today.”
“When Old Mr. Hudson was alive, he mentioned that the person in possession of the six forms
would be the rightful heir of Hudson Pharmaceuticals. Also, the business would not be in such a bad
state if it wasn’t for the disappearance of those six forms.”
Just then, Evan’s words caused the shareholders to stare at each other with aghast looks on their
faces.
Although none of them were involved in the actual smuggling details organized by Jefferey, after
considering the actual situation afterward, they could more or less figure things out. The loss of the
forms critical for generating an ie for Hudson Pharmaceuticals meant that Jefferey had to
come up with another risky way to sustain the business.
“Mr. Holt, what do you mean by that?” Amber was frantic. “Are you out of your mind? She’s just an
illegitimate child, so how can she inherit Hudson Pharmaceuticals?! She could just im to own the
forms without actually having it!”
“Her birth mother is Selena Hudson, so that makes her eligible. I wouldn’t be so sure if it was anyone
else, but Selena was guided personally by Old Mr. Hudson since she was a child and she was also
personally guided by him in the concoction andpounding of medications.”
Evan’s words caught Rachel by surprise. He seems to be quite close with my mother.
“Rae, leave all of this to me. I’ll personally liaise with each of the shareholders and respond to you
soon.” Evan ignored Amber’s thunderous expression and stood up for Rachel in front of everyone else.
