Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1330

Brandon smiled. "I haven't set an exact timeline yet, but at a minimum, I'll be gone for a month."

"A month? That's way too long! No, absolutely not. You can take a week at most."

"Exactly. If you disappear for an entire month, the company may fall into chaos. We have several major deals lined up right now. Your absence would definitely cause problems."

The shareholders protested.

Finally, Wyatt spoke up, his voice firm. "Everyone, please calm down. Mr. Sumner has been working non-stop these past few years without a break. It's only reasonable that he take some time off now."

As soon as he finished, another shareholder, Chester Baldwin, sneered. "Of course you'd want Mr. Sumner to take a break, Mr. Dodgson. After all, you've secretly been buying up shares from other shareholders over the past two years.

"You probably hold at least 10% of the company's stock by now, don't you? If Mr. Sumner steps down, you'll have a clear path to becoming the next CEO of the Sumner Group."

There was obvious sarcasm in Chester's voice, but Wyatt remained unfazed.

"Mr. Baldwin, I don't appreciate your insinuations. This meeting was called so we could fairly and openly elect a temporary replacement for Mr. Sumner. The final decision isn't up to me alone. Wouldn't you agree?" Wyatt said.

"Fine," Chester replied. "Since you put it that way, I have nothing more to say. I just hope everyone here makes the right choice and selects the best candidate for the job."

Wyatt's expression darkened as he shifted his gaze away.

Meanwhile, Brandon ignored the power struggle unfolding in front of him.

"I have a candidate in mind," he announced.

Then, he turned to a shareholder sitting quietly in the corner. "Mr. Minter, would you be interested in temporarily managing the Sumner Group?"
