After Sam Atlas died, things went awry. The initiatives they were trying to carry out just stalled. Sam was the spirit and soul of his company. Without him, there would be no more encouragement and passion for all employees to continue with his aspirations.
At an emergency meeting of the top management of the company, they urged Laura to organize a restructuration, but alas, the girl was completely disinterested and she didn't even understand her father's business and ideals.
Friedrich was the only person who understood and could continue the leadership of the company after Sam Atlas died, had the young man been healthy. However, he couldn't even dream of doing that since he had to fight for his life.
They still hid his health condition from everyone for fear that the company's valuation would get worse, if potential investors found out that Atlas X would lose the second most important person in it, after Sam Atlas's passsing.
