Trading My Ex for His Uncle
Fredâs expression stiffened. He quickly said, âMr. Sumner, this was entirely Mr.
Raynorâs decision. By the time I found out, it was too late. Otherwise, I would have stopped him.
*Moreover, the Raynor Group has suffered significant losses this time, and many shareholders are secretly trying to remove Mr. Raynor from the CEO po Damon remained expressionless, seemingly uninterested. âThat doesnât concern me.â
Fred carefully observed Damonâs face, hoping to glean something from his expression, but found nothing.
The rumors about Damon being cunning seemed accurateâdealing with him required caution.
Realizing he needed to take a risk, Fred steeled himself and said, âMr. Sumner, I know your bo you have grievances with Mr. Raynor. I can help you deal with him.â
Damon chuckled, but his eyes were devoid of warmth. âHelp me?â
Fredâs face turned a shade paler, but thinking of his objective, he pressed, âIt could be mutually beneficial. I want the CEO position at the Raynor Group.
Damon raised an eyebrow. âI didnât know you were so ambitious, Mr. Burridge. But even without you, I can handle the Raynor Group. I have no need or r Fred was taken aback by the rejection. âMr. Sumner, when Prospectus Technology first entered Capitarnia, Mr. Raynor made things difficult for you. Donât you want to retaliate?â

Gritting his teeth, Fred insisted, âMr. Sumner, I can offer you 5% of the Raynor Groupâs shares if you help me deal with Oliver!â
Damon put down the documents he was holding and looked up at Fred with a smile. âSo, you do understand after all. It seems you were just pretending Fred silently ground his teeth, feeling resentful. Damon was doing this on purpose!
However, the thought that Damonâs help could make him CEO of the Raynor Group pushed him to suppress his dissatisfaction.
âMr. Sumner, can we discuss the specifics of the plan now?â Fred asked.
In the following days, Nyla noticed that every time she messaged Oliver, he took a long time to reply.
Concerned, she reached out to a friend at the Raynor Group and discovered that Oliver had been facing significant pressure from shareholders.
Previously, he had invested hundreds of millions of his own money to compete with Prospectus Technology for the suburban amusement park project, b The shareholders were furious, demanding that he find a way to recover the losses. He had even made a public promise to resign if he couldnât resolve It was no wonder he took so long to reply to her messages lately, and his responses were always weary. Knowing he was under so much pressure beca After much hesitation, Nyla finally made a call.
Half an hour later, she walked into a highâend cafe.
At a table by the window sat a woman nearing 50. With her neat short hair and white suit, she bore the wrinkles of age gracefully, and her serene smile f
