Chapter 280

Steward paused for a moment, hastily asking, "Is there something else he needs? Or is he waiting for someone to come apologize?"

The butler replied, "No, it seems like he was engaged in a conversation with Hackett. They got quite into it, so he hasn't left yet. Hackett even said not to bother about them."

How could they not bother!

But there were tasks at hand that needed attending.

Bill and Hackett were two individuals they couldn't afford to offend. Steward decided to follow their advice and prioritize the pressing matters.

With several guests still around, the upstairs conference room was too cramped, so they settled in the downstairs lobby, gathering on the sofas in a circle.

Over the years, the Griffin Corporation had gathered a group of executives and shareholders, totaling over twenty people.

Holding onto hope, Steward finally asked, "Boss, are you sure you want to announce it?"

He didn't want to let Sanderson go.

Be it for his capabilities or the emotional bond, Sanderson was his first son. Who wouldn't love their own child?

But sometimes, in the face of interests, some things had to be sacrificed.

Steward's thoughts were too traditional, only wishing for Griffin Corporation to carry on the Griffin name, rather than following Cordelia into marriage... Sanderson, without waiting for a response, declared, "I've decided to step down as chairman, with Kermit taking over."

This announcement left the executives and board members in disbelief.

While the men were chatting, Lorna, accompanied by Cordelia, and Rachel, along with Juliana, were entertaining the remaining ladies.

The conversation from Steward's side was a bit loud, so it reached their ears.
