She no longer wanted anything to do with him.
Tyrone had dedicated so much to Blakely Group, earning the respect of his employees
through his skills and capabilities. It wasn’t fair for him to be stripped of his recognition
due to internal politics and power plays within the senior ranks.
After ending the call, Tyrone set his phone down on the table, sweeping his gaze over the
people before him. “Let’s continue.”
The chairman was absent due to illness, leaving the vice-chairman in charge of the
proceedings.
Harrell wasted no time in laying out his case. “Our CEO and general manager, Tyrone
Blakely, has allowed his personal life and emotional issues to tarnish the company’s image
during his tenure. This has resulted in a decrease in stock prices and a significant shrink in
the company’s market value, shaking the confidence of our shareholders, some of whom
have demanded answers.
Furthermore, Tyrone’s mishandling of the branch company’s fire incident led to significant
public backlash, damaging the company’s public image. The public’s trust in us has been
undermined.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn top of that, despite Theo’s years of dedication and good performance, Tyrone unjustly
dismissed him for personal reasons, a clear abuse of his power and a violation of company
rules. As such, I propose that Tyrone be relieved of his duties as the CEO and general
manager!”
A blanket of silence descended upon the meeting room, and a palpable tension gripped
the atmosphere.
The directors exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of how to respond.
Some whispered to each other, while others remained indifferent, choosing silence.
Harrell’s gaze swept across the faces of the board members. “Of course, I cannot deny the
significant contribution that Tyrone has made to the company. But that’s not an excuse for
his dereliction of duty. He must be held accountable for the substantial losses he caused
the company.
Many of these problems stemmed from his private Life. I think everyone here understands
that in this position, his words and deeds represent the image of the whole company.
Regrettably, he shows no intention of considering the interests of the company. How shall
we justify this to the shareholders?”
Someone hesitantly responded, “I’m afraid that changing the president at this time won’t
easily convince the shareholders.”
“But at the very least, we can demonstrate our stance to the shareholders and provide
them with an explanation. We can’t merely sit idly by and watch as they withdraw their
investments,” Harrell replied immediately.
“It’s unprofessional to mix one’s private life with work. There was a suggestion to replace
the director of MQ Clothing. However, in an attempt to shield his wife, Tyrone disregarded
the company’s best interests, proving himself unfit to lead.
As for the fire incident, the sentiments expressed by the netizens online mirror the
working class’s perspective. We are an inclusive company, and even though the dead
worker made a mistake, we shouldn’t be too aggressive towards his family.”
The director implied that Tyrone’s lack of empathy pushed Julius to take desperate and
illegal measures.
“I agree. A true leader should possess an open mind, attentively Listen to and consider all
sorts of opinions, and provide us with a satisfactory response. They cannot be obstinate
and make decisions unilaterally. The shareholders and board of directors are the rightful
owners of the company. The president must be accountable to both the board of directors
and the shareholders.”

task is to ensure the stability of our current business. There’s no need to hastily pursue
new energy projects.”
“I beg to differ. New energy businesses have been a prevailing trend in recent years.
Considering the government’s support for such projects, why shouldn’t we move in this
direction? Embracing innovation is crucial. Clinging onto old business practices won’t get
us far!” said one of the directors in favor of Tyrone’s decision.
“If the new energy industry is as profitable as you claim, it would already be thriving. Why
the rush? It’s too early to make a significant decision without fully weighing the risks
involved. We must carefully consider the potential consequences of failure. We might
survive the mistakes made by our decisions, but our suppliers could face bankruptcy if the
plan failed!” argued Harrell.
“As long as the interests of our shareholders are guaranteed, I have no objection to
whoever becomes the president. However, I firmly believe that the change should be
made only in the company’s best interests, not for someone’s gain.”
“What do you mean?” Harrell questioned.
Observing them quarrel, Tyrone appeared detached from the heated discussion. He
assumed a relaxed posture, leaning back in his chair and casually tapping his right hand
against the armrest. “I’ve listened to all the arguments. Allow me to share a few words.”
