Darian went berserk.
He pointed at Theodore and scolded, âYou bastard!â
Adrianâs face immediately changed, and he said, âYou seem to have some trouble controlling yourself, Mr.
Darian Anderson.
Iâm afraid you are not suitable to manage the Anderson Group.
Now that I am the biggest shareholder here, Iâd like to propose a change in our companyâs chairman.
â
He glanced around the room smugly as he continued, âNow itâs time to choose.
Please raise your hands if you agree with my proposal.
â
Darian looked hopefully at the other shareholders and was confident Adrian would be powerless without their support, regardless of the number of shares he had.
After all, he knew all these shareholders, and they would not help outsiders.
The shareholders exchanged serious glances and started whispering.
Soon, one of them raised his hand in agreement with Adrianâs proposal, and the others followed his lead.
Darian was shocked.
He slammed the table angrily and scolded, âWhat are you thinking? We are the Anderson Group.
How can we sell it to an outsider?â
âBut we are not an Anderson,â a thin, shrewd middle-aged man replied, directly to the point.

âHeâs right.
The Anderson Group cannot compete against the BRD Group.
How can we afford to offend Mr.
Perkins for your sake?â another shareholder said.
âBesides, with the BRD Groupâs help, the Anderson Group will have more development opportunities.
Mr.
Darian Anderson, since we have fallen into this state, you should reconsider delegating your position to someone more capable.
â
Suddenly, more and more shareholders pitched in their opinions.
More than half of these shareholders wanted to seize the opportunity to work with the BRD Group.
Only a fool would choose to give up this opportunity.
Moreover, they couldnât care less about the first name of the chairperson as long as they continued reaping benefits.
âBunch of ingrates! Traitors!â Darian yelled in utter desperation and anger.
He felt his knees grow weak and fell back onto the chair.
âMr.
Darian Anderson, we only have the best interest of the Anderson Group in mind.
Mr.
Theodore Anderson was the one who brought Anderson Group back from the dumps, not you.
Yet, you want to control all the operations and kick your son out.
Not only are you merciless, but also ungrateful.
You will only be destroying the reputation of the Anderson Group if you stay,â a slightly overweight old man at the back of the room analyzed.
He didnât bother to show Darian any respect.
At this moment, Darian was too livid to retort and could only glare at him.
Adrian smiled and said, âWell, it seems to me that more than half voted in agreement.
So now, Iâm the chairman.
â
Standing up, he said while bowing, âPlease guide me well.
I am all ears if you have any suggestions for my performance.
â
Everyone applauded.
Without further ado, Adrian appointed Theodore as CEO of the Anderson Group.
âTheodore! Itâs all your doing, isnât it? You knew this would happen, didnât you? You unfilial son!â Darian lashed out as he trembled from his rising rage.
His eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged out on his forehead from anger.
