Chapter 95

"I’m appointing Sebastian as the deputy general manager of the company today," Geoffrey said. "I’m not asking for your opinion. It’s a formal notice to you all."

Geoffrey was obviously angered by Dexter’s words, his face immediately turning sour. ’A mere director dares to look down on me,’ he thought. ’Once I take down that undutiful son, David, just watch how I deal with these old coots.

A bunch of directors’ expressions changed because of Geoffrey’s words. They thought, ’David usually makes decisions without consulting others, but that’s because he has outstanding abilities. Every decision he makes is correct. What about Geoffrey? What abilities does he have?’

Not showing Geoffrey respect, Edward asked directly, "Mr. Charrington, why did you suggest holding this meeting then? Wasting everybody’s time, huh?" "That’s right. David isn’t in the company now, and you’re making a personnel appointment without consulting others. Shouldn’t you get David’s approval first?"

"We all have a clear idea of what Sebastian is like at the overseas branch. Mr. Charrington, you don’t have to make him look good."

"Let’s not even talk about him being the deputy general manager of the group. Even as the manager of a department, I don’t think Sebastian can take on such an important role."

Sebastian’s face suddenly darkened as the directors spoke one after another. He looked grim, and his expression turned cold.

He thought, ’We’re all descendants from the main line of the Charrington family, so why should I be suppressed in every way? Now that I’m being appointed as the deputy general manager of the group, these people look down on me, while they don’t dare say a word against David.

’A few years ago, David made the situation sound good, saying that he transferred me overseas to let me gain some experience, but in fact, he was marginalizing me. I’ve finally returned, and Dad even has to take advantage of David’s absence to appoint me.

"Everybody, calm down," Johan said. "We have to give the young man a chance to prove himself. They’re all descendants of the Charrington family, so we can’t favor one over the other, right?"

They had been waiting for this opportunity. This time, they were determined to keep Sebastian, no matter what. A while ago, David had already removed the directors who were close to them from the board, which significantly reduced their support.

"Mr. Quaid, this is a company, not a school. Besides, with Sebastian’s identity..."

Dexter sneered inwardly when he heard Johan’s words, speaking bluntly without showing any respect. He thought, ’Sebastian is a son born from a mistress who married into the family, yet Johan has the nerve to compare him to David.’
