Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 279

\"Zip it!\" Steward barked, his anger palpable. \"Today's my birthday, so let's get back to entertaining the guests! We can deal with all this after the party!\"

Laurinda rolled her eyes in response.

However, Sanderson was the first to turn on his heel, making his way toward the banquet hall. Seeing Sanderson's resolute departure, Steward understood the gravity of the situation and his shoulders slumped in defeat.

Cordelia and Everard trailed behind Sanderson, gazing at his retreating back. Cordelia could sense his pain and helplessness, which made her feel somewhat downhearted.

But then, out of the blue, Everard commented, \"Dad's quite the mastermind.\"

Cordelia was perplexed. Who's he calling dad?

Before she could frown, Everard continued, \"The Delaney Corporation isn't worth much anymore, so he ditched his shares. But he's taking the talent with him. Nowadays, talent is worth more than shares.\"

Cordelia suddenly understood. She had initially felt indignant on behalf of her father when Sanderson said he didn't want his shares. Why should he give up the fruits of his labor just like that? But now it made sense!

She glanced at Everard, realizing he had a keen perspective on people and situations, which really impressed her. Such a person should be an exceptional businessman. How did he end up ousted by Bill?

Meanwhile, Sanderson appeared unbothered, but only Lorna, holding his hand, could feel his dejection. Lorna patted his hand, saying, \"It's okay, we're not short on cash. I can support us with my painting.\"

Sanderson was taken aback, his eyes suddenly brimming with tears. Lorna quickly whispered words of comfort, \"You've supported me for eighteen years, now it's my turn to support you. Plus, we might not have the shares, but we're not broke!\"
