Chapter 1858


    Wyatt made his way over to Lysander with a warmly weing smile. As he approached Lysander, Wyatt slightly bowed and said, "Right this way, Lysander." David, without a moment''s hesitation, began pushing Lysander towards the spot Wyatt had indicated - the head of the conference table, a position reserved for those who made the highest decisions. Once Lysander wasfortably seated at the very head of the rectangr table, Wyatt, satisfied, returned to his own seat.


    "It''s time to begin the meeting," he announced.


    No sooner had he spoken than a voice piped up, "Should we start without Payton, the current CEO?" The question came from a shareholder, a staunch supporter of Payton. This opened the floodgates, and others aligned with Payton chimed in, "Exactly, how can we have a shareholders'' meeting without the CEO leading us?"


    Another group, siding with Wyatt, retorted, "Lysander is also a CEO of the Sinir Group!"Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    "But the former CEO is just that, former. How can hepare to the current one?" a supporter of Payton shot back. "The former doesn''t hold the power that the current does. How can we proceed with such a crucial corporate meeting without the head honcho?"


    “Let''s not forget, Payton was only meant to temporarily manage the Sinir Group for Lysander. Now that Lysander''s back, it''s only right he steps aside!" Wyatt countered, his face a mask of controlled fury.


    "But that was then. It''s been officially dered by Zephyr that the Sinir Group is under Payton''s control. He''s the legitimate CEO of the Sinir Group! We should wait for him for such a major meeting."


    "In the three years that Payton has been at the helm of the Sinir Group, it''s been nothing but losses every year. If it wasn''t for the solid foundation the Sinir Group had it would have been bankrupt by now! Lysanderes back,unches a single jewelry project, and turns a profit for the Sinir Group! Isn''t it clear who''s more suited for the CEO position?" Wyatt''s fists clenched on the table, his frustration and helplessness evident for all to see.


    "Wyatt, who bes CEO isn''t up to you. It''s a decision for the entire upper echelon of the Sinir Group to make, Trenton interjected, his loyalty to Payton clear. He nced asionally at the door, wondering why Payton hadn''t arrived yet. On such an important day as the shareholders'' meeting, Payton''s absence was baffling.


    What was he doing? Hiding when most needed? Though Trenton was protective of Payton, he sometimes felt exasperated with him. If only Payton had half of Lysander''s capability, Trenton wouldn''t have to worry so much.


    "Today, I want to address just that. I believe that if the Sinir Group continues under Payton''s leadership, it''s doomed. I propose we discuss bringing Lysander back as CEO," Wyatt steered the conversation back to the main issue.


    Those in Wyatt''s camp raised their hands in agreement, while Payton''s supporters were vehemently against it.


    "The CEO represents thepany''s


    image. Lysander, confined to a wheelchair now, what would people think? That the Sinir Group is so desperate, they need a disabled person as their CEO!" Trenton''s words were sharp and decisive, leveraging his seniority to say the unsayable.
