Chapter: 839
Harrell and Cody exchanged glances. It was evident upon entering the room that Tyrone
Looked much thinner, suggesting a grave illness.
Yet they were cornered and left with no choice. After mulling it over, Harrell said, “We
understand your current health predicament, Mr. Blakely. But we’re in a tight spot. The
group is battling internal dissent and external pressures. You’re the only one capable of
fixing the situation.”
Larry wasn’t well-versed in the intricacies of Blakely Group’s operations, and adjusting
would require a significant chunk of time.
Rival businesses seized this window of vulnerability to grab Blakely Group’s assets and
projects.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe top executives in the company weren’t working together, and two of them were even
lured away by rival firms. The board members had conflicting views, making it challenging
for Larry to manage them.
Ever since Cesar’s passing and Tyrone stepping down, Blakely Group’s share value had
been on a decline. Although there was a small rise occasionally, they were short-lived.
Before the New Year’s day, Blakely Group hosted an end-of-year media briefing. Here, a
group of shareholders demanded clear answers from the higher-ups.
The company had gone through over two months of chaos, and Harrell had to
acknowledge that while Tyrone might be a bit authoritarian, he was the best leader for the
team. He was a leader who could bring the employees together and guide the company
through the challenges of the business world.
Tyrone, arching an eyebrow, queried, “Internal conflicts and external threats?”
Harrell elaborated, “A handful of our real estate ventures in Centenia were unexpectedly
swiped in recent weeks. Additionally, our various departments face fierce competition.”
Some board members were of the view to reclaim those projects or put competitors in
their place.
Others believed the firm needed stability; hasty moves could further jeopardize the group.
Leaning back, hands resting on his knees, Tyrone asked with a discerning Look, “Any leads
on the person who did it?”
Larry was family, and Tyrone had a soft spot for him.
However, no one was to tarnish the Legacy meticulously built by his grandfather.
“We believe it’s the work of the Fowler family.”
“Fowler family?” Tyrone repeated in a low voice, his gaze dropping as he processed this
revelation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy were the Fowler family targeting Blakely Group?
“You’ve reached out to them?” Tyrone probed further.
Exhaling heavily, Harrell responded, “I instructed my assistant to schedule a meeting with
the head of the Fowler family, but failed. I did, however, manage a sit-down with a couple
of Fowler Group’s senior executives, but they remained tight-lipped.”
Tyrone frowned slightly. “Direct confrontation with the Fowlers isn’t wise right now. Get
someone to dig deeper. If we inadvertently upset them, we can reach out, and find a
middle ground. If not, focus on our ongoing ventures and stay alert for the right moment.
Hold off any new ventures until then.”
Harrell gave a nod of understanding. “Got it. And how are you feeling now? When do you
plan to rejoin the company?”
