Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 1329

The shareholders continued to talk over each other, giving Brandon no chance to speak.

Only when they fell silent did he ask, "Are you finished?"

"Mr. Sumner, what kind of attitude is this? Your personal affairs caused this whole mess, yet you're acting as if it has nothing to do with you!" one shareholder demanded.

Facing their angry glares, Brandon set the document in his hand aside.

"You've all said quite a bit, but the main point is that you want me to resign, right?" he said. "I can step down, but tell me, who do you plan to put in my place?"

The shareholders exchanged uneasy glances.

After a long pause, the lead shareholder spoke. "There are several capable shareholders in the company. We can select one of them to temporarily take over as CEO of the Sumner Group until you resolve your personal matters. Once that's done, you can return to your position."

Brandon chuckled. "Mr. Dodgson, since you're speaking so confidently, I assume you've already decided on a replacement. Don't tell me you've chosen yourself?"

Wyatt Dodgson frowned. "Mr. Sumner, we can make the decision through an open vote. And for the record, I have no strong desire to replace you."

Brandon nodded. "Fine. Then let's hold a shareholder meeting. I also have a candidate in mind for the interim role."

Since Brandon took over the Sumner Group, Wyatt had been sowing discord between him and the other shareholders. Even if Brandon stepped down, there was no way he'd let Wyatt take his place.

Wyatt narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled. "Alright, then."
