Chapter 810
If Gilbert insisted on acting as he pleased, the elders still preserved the right to remove him even if he managed to
be appointed as the leader.
“I-” Gilbert’s expression darkened at the confrontation. He glanced at Iris and an idea began to form in his
mind.
“Elders, please wait! How about this? I can hand the company over to Iris and she can manage it as the chairman in
my absence!” Gilbert blurted out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIris was his daughter and handing the company over to her would be a hundred times better than to hand it over to
Jonah.
If Iris succeeded in overcoming the crisis, her success would only be considered as Gilbert’s accomplishment and
he would have no issue in becoming the next leader of the Youngs.
“That’s a good idea!”
“Iris has just made great sacrifices by selling Elegante Group to save us. She’s a talented businesswoman and if we
hand the Young Group over to her, she might be able to get us past this storm!”
The elders whispered to one another and agreed with Gilbert’s suggestion.
Though Jonah was a brilliant martial artist, he might not be as talented in running a company compared to
Iris.
After all, Iris managed Elegante Group on her own and succeeded in increasing its market value by folds. Out of the
consideration for the family, Iris was a better candidate to take over Young Group.
Gilbert felt relieved that the elders seemed to agree with him, but was taken by surprise when Daisy
interfered.
“No! I won’t accept that!” Daisy slammed her palms onto the table.
She plotted with Harold to take over the Youngs and they were about to succeed, so she would never allow
Iris to be in control.
“Daisy, what do you think you are doing right now?” Gilbert shot Daisy a cold look of disapproval.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe finally convinced the elders to accept Iris as his replacement and did not expect his own wife to object to it.
‘Does she want Jonah to take over the company? If he becomes the leader of the family, she is going to suffer as
well!‘ He thought to himself.
Daisy ignored Gilbert and scoffed. “Elders, you should know that Iris is a woman. She’s bound to get married at
some point, so how can we hand the Young Group over to someone who would be excluded from our family in the
future? Besides, Gilbert is first in line for the role as leader and Royce comes second! With Gilbert falling too sick to
manage the company, he should be handing it over to Royce instead, so Iris and Jonah can hardly be considered as
replacements!” Daisy said confidently.
“Hm,” Gilbert finally realized that Daisy wanted to fight for her own son’s right. It was natural for sons to take after
their fathers and apart from Gilbert, Royce was indeed the best candidate to take control.
