The Runaway Groom Chapter 250

Once the first board member loyal to Isaac spoke out, more board members nodded. Some rose to their feet and declared their support for him to keep his position as CEO.

They had all seen Isaac's ability, and knew that they were only paid dividends despite holding small portions of the company’s shares because Isaac constantly led Sky Group to new heights.

On the other hand, would they really be able to enjoy the same benefits without hard work if there was a change in leadership? They were naturally suspicious. Not to mention, lan’s crime called his father’s character into question.

That being said, Henry only called for the board meeting because he had privately contracted many board members, asking that they endorse Greg—that was why Greg appeared so confident.

Naturally, Henry would rather support lan because lan was young and more or less capable. Unfortunately, lan was now under investigation for his casino ship. There was no way lan could be here, just as the board was unlikely to endorse a person with a potential criminal record. Thus, Henry was forced to endorse Greg instead.

“I think Greg will make a better leader. He's older and experienced — he won't lose out to Isaac in any way, and he’s also Isaac's uncle. Isaac should voluntarily step down in favor of his uncle instead of hogging it!" “What are you talking about? Does age determine merit?!

Someone snapped in protest right there and then.

Ability speaks above all else. After goofing off for years, Greg won't even know what the market looks like these days!”

The spacious conference room turned quite hectic, and the board member endorsing Greg was immediately silenced. Even with an estate passed down through generations and accruing enormous wealth in the process, it took hard work from each family head to retain it. Isaac, however, was the one who took things further. His feats were irrefutable despite his youth!

“I think experience speaks here..."

“What experience? Greg's just older—is there anything that makes him better than Isaac?”

Someone tried to speak for Greg again, but was once

again silenced immediately.

Even if Isaac knew that his grandfather wanted him out, he never contacted the board members or asked them to endorse himself. After all, he had measures in place. The title of Sky Group’s CEO did not matter to him.

He was, however, deeply disappointed in Henry. It wouldn't be a far cry to say that he was now convinced

that every Jefferson is a cold-blooded reptilian; even himself!

Not bothered to keep listening, lan rose to his feet. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Inform me when you have come to a decision, Mr. Henry Jefferson.” “We're having a board meeting!” Henry snapped angrily. “How could you leave as you please?”

Henry was sure Isaac had bribed the people siding with him at the moment to fend Henry off. Leaving the meeting room was an obvious show of disrespect-a gesture showing that Isaac thought nothing of Henry!

Isaac leveled a cool gaze at Henry. “Whether I keep my job or not means nothing to me.”

In fact, Sky Group was nothing to him as he had been diverting various businesses to his own company overseas.

If he stayed, Sky Group would remain the giant it was—if he left, Sky Group would be nothing.

“You can have company if you want, " Isaac said evenly and casually. Henry was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses.

Was Isaac doing this on purpose?

Some of the board members were vehemently supporting him, after all...

Henry naturally doubted that Isaac didn’t do anything behind the scenes, or that he didn't care about the Jefferson estate and being the CEO of Sky Group.

The board members were certainly no fools—they were smart enough to know Isaac's worth, and became frantic the instant they heard that he might leave.

After all, Sky Group would collapse if Isaac really left. They therefore wanted nothing less than to make him stay.

“Henry, look—the company’s stocks fell because lan was messing around, and the media caught him in the act. That boy should take responsibility, but since he’s under investigation, Greg should offer us an explanation — lan is his son, after all.”

Henry was left frowning, while Grey finally exploded. lan may have caused trouble, but Isaac is in charge here! Shouldn't he be doing something to mitigate our losses? I've even heard that he doesn't care at all, and simply left it with PR! Those useless scumbags don't even know what's going on, let alone draft a plan! That's why we're in this mess!”

The conference room went silent, because Greg was actually right. Isaac was in charge, but he really did nothing to curb the issue and instead allowed company stocks to keep falling.

On the other hand, Isaac started to head towards the door. After all, everyone at present was simply running in circles.

Greg slammed his hand on the table and bellowed, “Stop right there, Isaac Jefferson! Are you giving us an attitude when your grandfather is still here? Where are your manners? I'm your uncle too—do you think you can leave just because you want to?!"
