Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 151~ His answer

"I'm resigning as the CEO from now onwards and Jason will be the new CEO of the Kingsley Group," Ryan announced. Ryan Kingsley had been planning on how to step down from his position as the CEO of the Kingsley Group.

Jason had not confirmed if he would take over as CEO, however, Ryan still announced it, hoping Jason was for the idea.

A murmur swept over the room after Ryan announced that he would be stepping down. He looked at the shareholders' stunned faces and asked, "Why the shocked faces? Isn't this what you were all expecting?"

Lora glanced at Ryan, confusion creeping into her. She didn't know Ryan was going to hand over his position to Jason just like that.

Why did he do that and when did he plan all this?

Ryan sensed her gaze. He looked at her and gave her a small smile before he mouthed that he would explain later.

Lora nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat. Deep down, she knew why he did that but she didn't want to accept it. For her, there was still hope for Ryan to recover and she would continue to look for a solution until she found one. "Son, you don't have to do what the shareholders are asking you to do. When you get better, you can fix the company's predicament," Miles remarked, sadness filling him as he looked at his son.

"I may not get better though," Ryan remarked and the place fell into dead silence. "Life needs to go on. We can't put everything on hold just because I'm sick. Jason has the most shares after me. I think he deserves to take over my position." Ryan's eyes met Jason's again. He asked, "What do you say? Do you accept?"
