The most dangerous moment for a person to make a mistake is when they are blinded by anger.
Caught up in their rage, they can lose the ability to think clearly.
Sanderson had always been known for his cool head and thick skin.
So, during the years when Graham was in charge, even though Sanderson's department was drowning in bad debts, he managed to keep his hands clean.
It was easy for people to be lulled into thinking he was harmless.
But once the veil of innocence was ripped away by his own savage demeanor, revealing that he had been affecting their interests all along, and might continue to do so in the future...d2
Well, that's when he found himself on the back foot.
Sanderson cleaned the sweat from his brow as he faced Rosalynn's intense pressure.
She was doing it on purpose, pushing them into an argument so she could use it as leverage to sway the undecided shareholders to her side and pull them towards Jacob's side.
Lawler was about to say something more, but with a stern look from Sanderson, he was silenced. His chest heaved with suppressed anger, but he dared not speak further.
"It doesn't matter how Jacob has brought profits to the Strand Group, he has indeed been working for the good of the company, and frankly, he's done better than me," Sanderson said with feigned affection as he looked at Jacob. "You've seen what you needed to, and your goal has been achieved. I'm a bit weary, so let's just move on to the vote, shall we?"
Sanderson knew that any further delay would only play into Jacob and Rosalynn's hands, eroding his advantage. So, he chose to concede rather than to continue the fight.
He had done the math on the Strand Group's shares. The Strand family couldn't monopolize the decision-making, but the shares he securely held gave him an edge over Jacob, even after Rosalynn's recent meddling.
