The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 673

The directors around the table stared at Sebastian, each of their faces twisted with a mixture of shock and exasperation.

If it weren't for Sebastian's remarkable abilities and his almost uncanny business sense, several of them would have voted him out right then and there.

They swallowed their frustration and tried to reason with him, their voices earnest and pleading. "Chairman, the company's on the rise right now we can't do this without you. Every department is waiting on your decisions."

But Sebastian had already mapped out his plan. He replied, “Just send me any documents that need my approval. As for day-to-day management, let the general manager handle it for now. This is a good chance for the team to gain some experience."

That was out of the question. The only reason the company had soared so high was Sebastian's leadership. How could anyone else possibly fill his shoes, even temporarily? The thought was unthinkable.

One board member, unable to contain himself, slammed a fist on the table and stood up. "Mr. Vesper, you need to reconsider!"

Another director, eyes rimmed red, chimed in desperately, "That's right! If this is about money, whatever CICI Group offered, we'll double it. Isn't that enough?"

Director Steward added, "Chairman, just tell us who from that company tried to poach you. I'll go have a word with that snake myself."

Sebastian, who had been impassive until now, shot to his feet the moment he heard that.
