Sheldon had so much pent-up frustration within him. In his opinion, he had been labeled as “trash” because of Tobias. He had never approved of his actions, sometimes even condemning him for it.
I would have succeeded if you never existed! Everyone said that I was destined to achieve something big!
“Alright,” Tobias said monotonously. “If that’s what you want, you can have it. I’ve done all I could for you, so you have to walk down this path alone from now on. If you think you can handle it, then go for it.”
After Tobias left, Sheldon finally collapsed, deflated with his knees on the floor, crying his lungs out.
After a few days, the Ford Group held a shareholder’s meeting, and Tobias announced that he would be stepping down due to health reasons, appointing Sheldon as the person to take his place.
Everyone was dumbfounded, as though an emperor had passed away, and in his stead sat a young kid on the throne.
The board of directors was in an uproar. People were upset. Quite a number of them left the room immediately after slamming the table.
Meanwhile, Sheldon smirked. He was disgusted by the sight of those higher-ups.
At the same time, Tobias sat at his office desk, stiff and quiet as a statue but exuded immense presence.
All of a sudden. Susan came knocking on the door. She could not accept the change that was going on in the company.
She had been beside Tobias for years, so she would usually accept all of his decision with no hesitation. Nevertheless, what happened was too much for her this time around.
“Mr. Ford, are you really going to hand the company over to your brother?” Susan asked. “Sheldon has zero experience! The whole board of directors is vying to take a shot at him, making things even more arduous for him!”
