Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Chapter: 493
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.
On 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.”
“The company has experienced steady growth over the years. I believe the most crucial 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.”
