Richard’s call at that moment filled Clark with dread.

“Grandpa…” he began hesitantly.

Richard’s voice crackled with anger. “Don’t call me Grandpa! I don’t have such a foolish grandson! The news about that woman’s pregnancy has caused a huge scandal, and it’s already affecting the Sumner Group’s stock prices. You need to resign and leave the company immediately!”

Clark’s face drained of color. “Grandpa… what about my transfer to the subsidiary?”

“Don’t even think about it. The board is extremely dissatisfied with you right now. You need to handle this scandal. If you can’t clean up this mess, don’t bother coming back to the company!” Richard bellowed.
