Chapter 152 Henry Pressures Daniel to Drive Away Jasmine

Picking up the fork from the floor, Jasmine remained silent and tense for a long time before she finally spoke. "No... That's not a good idea."

Ethan stood and fetched Jasmine a clean fork. "Don't overthink it."

Jasmine said it was not a good idea; she did not say that it was impossible.

"Mr. Ethan, don't fight Henry. He's the CEO of SHC Group. The collaboration between Stellar Enterprises and SHC Group is too intricate and significant. Both companies thrive on mutual benefit, prospering and suffering together."

Jasmine knew Ethan was already aware of this, but she said it anyway.

Ethan remained silent, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

The company's interests were paramount, especially given his current precarious situation.

However, when it came down to choosing, he had to assess what mattered more.

Ethan never thought of himself as someone driven by emotion.

In the past, everyone around him said he was too rational, so much so that he seemed cold-blooded.

But now, even he felt something was amiss, terribly amiss.

After taking a bite of her noodles, Jasmine changed the subject. "What about the situation with Branson from the investment department? Do you have any plans in place, Mr. Ethan?"

"There had been meetings about the vice-CEO position while I'm in Hawaii," Ethan replied, sliding his tablet toward Jasmine.

"Looking at the current voting results, Branson is in the lead." Jasmine frowned; this was not conducive to their strategy. "The company values a cutthroat culture and competition, and being Clara's ace card, Branson naturally is set on claiming the vice- CEO position."

The four vice CEO positions at the company included one ally of Ethan's, two selected by Howard, and if the last one went to someone in Clara's camp, Ethan would find himself in a tough spot.

Ethan had been instrumental in generating profits and value for the company over the years. It should have been his by right.

Unfortunately, Howard was not exactly Father of the Year material.

"What do you think?" Ethan asked, turning to Jasmine.
