After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 815

This was the perfect moment to strip Lucas of his power.

If they couldn’t find someone to replace him now, Lucas would only grow stronger, leaving the shareholders with no room to maneuver in the future.

“Not coming, is she?”

Just then, Lucas’ voice broke the tension, calm and unhurried, with a hint of amusement, as if he had expected this outcome all along.

Mark glanced at him, his expression stern. “Madam Yvonne has deep feelings for the former chairman. With him bedridden, she insists on staying by his side to care for him. It seems we’ll need to look for another suitable candidate.”

He cast his gaze around the room.

One of the shareholders suddenly spoke up, “If we're talking about experience and capability, Mr. Lewis is the only one truly qualified to take over as Chairman and CEO of Tudor Group. We’ve all seen his dedication to the Group over the years. I vote in favor of Mr. Lewis temporarily assuming the position of Chairman!”

“I agree!”

“So do I!”

Several shareholders on Mark's side quickly voiced their support.

Across the table, however, some shareholders frowned, while others maintained a neutral stance.

Two shareholders sitting closest to Lucas spoke up directly, “Mark, aren’t you a bit too old for this? You’re almost at retirement age—why involve yourself in all this? If this proposal passes, it should only be a temporary appointment.

“Anyone could fill in. I think Lucas’ assistant would be a good choice—he’s capable, and courageous, and has worked closely with Lucas for years. He knows his methods inside and out. I believe if he temporarily steps in as Chairman and CEO, there won’t be any chaos in the short term.”

Desmond's expression grew more serious at these words. He nodded slightly at the shareholder, smiling as he said, “Thank you for your confidence, Mr. Burgess.”
