Hannah received widespread praise, much to Dexter’s frustration.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Why does she get all the attention? Just because she’s a woman?
That doesn’t make her competent!”
Jalen rose to his feet, visibly annoyed.
“Mind your words.
This is a business partnership.
Gender has no place in this discussion.
”
Undeterred by Jalen, Dexter retorted, ““Byrum had originally picked you to succeed him.
But now she’s taken the reins while he’s laid up in the hospital.
Don’t you resent her for that?”
He said with newfound audacity, “So she swooped in, snatched shares, and took your directorial seat.
Now we’re supposed to heed her every command? That was absurd!”
Tensions in the conference room reached a fever pitch.
Just then, the meeting room door swung open abruptly.
“So, are you all willing to hear me out or not? Humph!”
ALL eyes turned toward the entrance.
The secretary wheeled in Byrum, who was supposed to be confined to a hospital bed.
Upon seeing Byrum, Jalen swiftly approached him and said, “Grandfather! You’re not fully recovered! Why did you leave the hospital?”
Byrum cleared his throat and, despite his frail appearance, said in a measured tone, “If I hadn’t shown up, would you youngsters have been able to handle matters?”
He glanced at Hannah, his eyes softening but his voice icy.
“It looks like it’s too soon to hand over the company to you.
”
Hannah stepped back, her head bowed in silence.

Dexter, upon seeing Byrum, suddenly lost his bravado.
He shifted his eyes guiltily and sat down.
Byrum fixed his gaze on Dexter.
“It seems you’re unhappy with my granddaughter.
If you have any grievances, air them now.
If she’s truly unfit, we can remove her as chairwoman.
”
The room fell into an eerie quiet.
Byrum’s composed voice held everyone mute.
Noting the silence, Byrum scoffed, “You all seemed quite vocal before my arrival.
I may be ill, but I’m not dead.
Speak up!”
Suddenly raising his voice, Byrum continued, “You dared to openly challenge the White Group’s decisions.
Are you hoping to dismantle the company? Explain yourselves!”
Grimacing, Dexter stood up cautiously.
