A Family Affair

 …we make every person live better and if we make dollars while doing that, so be it." His voice became dangerously low as he said the next words. " We have all seen what happens to traitors who think they can squander the efforts that are centuries old.

Let it be known, that everybody who attempts to support illegal causes or steal from this company thereby putting the values and people of this organisation in danger will be dealt with. It is the dawn of a new season, ladies and gentlemen. The president of the Ferguson Cooperation, Lucas Carlos Ferguson."

A round of applause echoed around the room as I settled down into my seat and others followed. These board members would be an intricate tool in my time as the president. I knew I couldn't trust all of them but a few were my own. My family. 

My father, who could be a major asshole, despite stepping down as President, was still a shareholder. His shares would go to his grandchildren when they are born.
