Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 232

Richard's call at that moment filled Clark with dread.

"Grandpa..." he began hesitantly.

Richard's voice crackled with anger. "Don't call me Grandpa! I don't have such a foolish grandson! The news about that woman's pregnancy has caused a huge scandal, and it's already affecting the Sumner Group's stock prices. You need to resign and leave the company immediately!"

Clark's face drained of color. "Grandpa... what about my transfer to the subsidiary?"

"Don't even think about it. The board is extremely dissatisfied with you right now. You need to handle this scandal. If you can't clean up this mess, don't bother coming back to the company!" Richard bellowed. The words struck Clark like a bolt of lightning, and panic washed over him. "Grandpa, I promise I'll resolve this as quickly as possible. There won't be a next time. If the board members have concerns, I'm willing to start from the bottom at the subsidiary."

If he was expelled from the Sumner Group altogether and barred from the subsidiary, it would be nearly impossible to return to the company in the future.

A long silence followed before Richard's cold voice broke through. "We'll discuss this later. For now, you should take a break and think carefully about what you should and shouldn't do."

With that, Richard hung up.

Despair flickered in Clark's eyes. He knew his grandfather was truly disappointed in him. His cousin, Brandon, had always been eyeing his position. Now that he was leaving the Sumner Group, Brandon would surely seize the opportunity to climb the ladder.
