Chapter 6 - Frank Left Helen the Deciding Vote

Mercer Hardware had grown from one store into thirty-two locations. No

shareholder controlled the company outright, but Helen’s thirty-eight

percent often decided major votes.

Redmont Capital wanted to buy it.

Daniel supported the offer. Melissa strongly supported it. Helen

believed it undervalued the company and endangered hundreds of

employees.

“If I’m declared incapable, who votes my shares?” Helen asked.

Nobody answered.

Then Tyler whispered that his mother had told him something else: if

Grandma got really mad on camera, Dad could finally “get the company.”

Melissa closed her eyes.
