Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 278

If Hobson had the knack for business, if Cordelia truly had no interest in running the company, and if this brother and sister duo got along just fine, then perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad idea.

But for Steward to hand over the reins to Hobson, amidst the current crowd, signifying the future leadership of the company - it meant something entirely different!

Steward had never felt such bewilderment and loss, as if the whole world had abandoned him.

It was December now, the bone-chilling wind swept through, yet it felt lukewarm compared to the coldness in his heart.

He glanced at Kermit, then at Everard, before breaking into a wry smile. "Dad, if there was something on your mind, why didn't you just start talking about it earlier?"

Steward was taken aback. "Son?"

Sanderson spoke up, "The company was built from scratch by you and me, while Kermit was still in school. Most of the legwork was done by me."

As he said this, Kermit protested, "Big brother, what are you trying to say? Back then, we were all in it together. The money you made was for the family! Are you trying to sideline me? No way!"

Seeing Kermit's agitation and stubbornness, Sanderson felt a numbness inside.

He slowly said, “I never thought about splitting up, nor who would inherit the company. Back then, we were strapped for cash, and all I wanted was to give our family a better life, so I worked like hell."

While he was burning the midnight oil, Kermit was partying in bars.

When he clinched his first deal, Kermit asked him for money to buy a computer to play video games all day.

He had wanted to bring Kermit into the business, but every time he was tired or frustrated and lashed out, Mom would tell him to rest, and would say to Sanderson, "Kermit is young, let him be. You go out and make us proud."

And that's how Kermit ended up the way he is now.

Sanderson felt responsible. Even though Kermit had never contributed to the company, he had willingly given him a quarter of the shares when they divided the assets!

He only took a quarter for himself!
