In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Chapter 423

Sheldon had so much pent-up frustration within him. In his opinion, he had been labeled as “trash” because of Tobias. He had never approved of his actions, sometimes even condemning him for it. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

I would have succeeded if you never existed! Everyone said that I was destined to achieve something big!

“Alright,” Tobias said monotonously. “If that’s what you want, you can have it. I’ve done all I could for you, so you have to walk down this path alone from now on. If you think you can handle it, then go for it.”

After Tobias left, Sheldon finally collapsed, deflated with his knees on the floor, crying his lungs out.

After a few days, the Ford Group held a shareholder’s meeting, and Tobias announced that he would be stepping down due to health reasons, appointing Sheldon as the person to take his place.

Everyone was dumbfounded, as though an emperor had passed away, and in his stead sat a young kid on the throne.

The board of directors was in an uproar. People were upset. Quite a number of them left the room immediately after slamming the table.

Meanwhile, Sheldon smirked. He was disgusted by the sight of those higher-ups.

At the same time, Tobias sat at his office desk, stiff and quiet as a statue but exuded immense presence.

All of a sudden. Susan came knocking on the door. She could not accept the change that was going on in the company.

She had been beside Tobias for years, so she would usually accept all of his decision with no hesitation. Nevertheless, what happened was too much for her this time around.

“Mr. Ford, are you really going to hand the company over to your brother?” Susan asked. “Sheldon has zero experience! The whole board of directors is vying to take a shot at him, making things even more arduous for him!”

“Everyone needs to experience some hurdles at least in life in order for them to grow.” Tobias’ eyes narrowed. “I’m giving him that chance right now. So, you stay close to him and report back to me if anything goes wrong. I’m exhausted, and I need to take some time off.”

His words gave Susan necessary affirmation as she needed to know that Tobias was not going to hand the fruits of his labor over for free.

“Mr. Ford. Where do you intend to go then? How long will it be?”

Tobias turned towards her right away and gave her a side-eyed glare, thinking that Susan had too many questions.

Every time Skylar saw Cassidy, she would feel ashamed. She only left one mean comment for her years ago, but the guilt she felt showed no signs of weakening, even though she was naive back then and was only writing whatever was on her mind.

Skylar was anxious, terrified at the notion of her comment about Cassidy’s sanity being dug out and revealed to the world. It was like she had a ticking time bomb that would explode without a moment’s notice.

But alas, her nightmare came through, and someone actually did it and proceeded to post it on the internet.

When Kate saw the Twitter post, she immediately contacted Skylar. “Is that comment an edit, or did you post something like that for real?”

“It’s not edited,” Skylar came clean. “It’s as real as it’s gonna get. I was afraid that this would happen, but no one could escape the tenacity of the netizens.”

Kate massaged her temples. “You’re name has been trending on Twitter very frequently now. What I’m worried about right now is that things might get blown out of proportion. Putting a statement out there won’t do any good since people could literally trace the comment back to your account. It’s my fault for not asking you to delete your account to start a new one. This wouldn’t have occurred if I did.”

“I don’t want to make a response either.” Skylar had accepted her fate. “Things usually die down in less than a week. As long as I stay quiet, people will forget about it soon enough. Though things will be awkward between Cassidy and me when we’re filming together since I did call her crazy.”

Kate agreed with what Skylar said, as she too thought that there was something wrong with Cassidy. She heard that Cassidy cursed at her fans a few days ago, and it was all recorded.
