Clare hesitated for a moment. She gently nodded but did not say much.
It was obvious that Ryan forced her to be here.
Lisa, on the other hand, talked nonstop about the Seet Group leadership position. Everyone could tell she was keeping her eyes on the prize.
Davin put a cup of tea on the table and said, “Both of you just can’t wait to take over the Seet Group huh?”
Both Adam and Ryan did not bother to pay serious attention to Davin.
“We’re telling the truth. You’re not qualified to lead the company since you’re not as capable as your brother.”
“Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! You’re not as capable as you think either!”
It would be disastrous if these two brothers took over the Seet Group. If worse comes to worst, we should support the lesser of two evils – Ryan.
Adam and Lisa were no pushovers. Of course, they would fight till the end to get what they desired.
When the Seets were still in the midst of debating, Patrick and Sheila arrived unannounced.
Patrick stepped in and proposed to give Davin several mega projects on the condition that the Seet family would elect Davin as the president. It was his way to support his future son-in-law.
After a round of deliberation, Russell decided to appoint Davin as the interim president for the Seet Group.
However, this position came with a condition. Russell would benchmark Davin’s performance against the company’s performance for the next three months. If he failed to meet his expectation, the patriarch would replace him with another candidate.
This decision had temporarily put a stop to the family dispute.
Davin could not imagine the energy and time he had to commit to the Seet Group for the next three months.
He had no intention of becoming the president of the Seet Group. The only reason he fought for the position was to stop Adam from taking over the company. He knew for sure Adam would one day destroy their family business.
Yet, now he did not have the confidence to run the company properly.
Upon seeing how dejected Davin was, Sheila encouraged him to continue Evan’s legacy so that his blood, sweat, and tears would not go to waste.
Davin could not help but feel depressed when he thought of Evan. He gritted his teeth and vowed, “I’ll do my best to bring the Seet Group to the next level.”
“That’s the spirit.”
