Chapter 841

Whitney shot back, "You were all against a newcomer meddling in Sheldon Group's operations back in the day. Why the change of tune now? Is it just because he brought in $500 billion?"

"That $500 billion is a testament to Mr. Lutz's commitment," came the retort. "Being able to put up such an amount right off the bat speaks volumes about the potential of the Lutz Group as an emerging powerhouse.

Whitney, times have changed. Although you and Ludwik later clarified things, Sheldon Group's reputation has taken a hit because of you. Our stocks are in the gutter. At this juncture, Mr. Lutz's investment is nothing but beneficial for the long-term growth of Sheldon Group. Whitney paled, "Don't you realize, Sheldon Group might end up changing its name altogether!

My dad was so good to all of you, and you're willing to betray him?"

Mr. Liam paused, then chuckled, "Let's not put it so harshly. Mr. Lutz joining Sheldon Group was approved by your dad, wasn't it? Besides, at the end of the day, shareholders are only concerned about who can bring the most profit to Sheldon Group. Without Mr. Lutz's $500 billion, the Sky-Surprise Inn project wouldn't even get off the ground.

Lately, it's all been about the scandals you're involved in..."

Bryce smirked, fixing his gaze on Whitney, "Whitney, I know you resent me stepping into Sheldon Group as a decision-maker. You challenged me to invest, and I did. Can we drop this now, please?

I genuinely want to help Sheldon Group.

At this crucial time, you're still hung up on the position of vice president. It's a bit petty, don't you think?"

"So, handing Sheldon Group over to you on a silver platter is being magnanimous?" Whitney retorted with a cold sneer.

"Whitney, please stop this," Florence interjected wearily, though her lips curled in disdain. "Haven't you understood yet? Mr. Liam and Mr. Evans want to kickstart the Sky-Surprise Inn project right away. Once the project gets going, we can draw in major investments, doubling our market value!

Now that Mr. Lutz has brought in $500 billion, what do you have?

Decisions in the company have always been made by those who are capable. Mr. Lutz has brought in the funds, and the shareholders are in his favor. Maybe it's time you step aside as vice president."

"Florence, you're nothing but a traitor," Tiana couldn't help but burst out.
