Chapter 143 Stripped Of Her Title.
For the first time since the start of their conversation, Leonica was rendered speechless, not a single word coming past her parted lips.
She just couldn’t believe her ears, her father was seriously suggesting she step down as CEO and let Melvin take her position, after everything she had done.
"I think that’s what is best for now." Benjamin said as he rested back in his chair and closed his eyes, purposely ignoring Leonica’s bewildered stare.
"Um, honey," Cassandra tentatively began, once again glancing between her husband and daughter. "Are you sure this is for the best?"
Benjamin peeled one eye open to look at his wife. "Has my decision ever been wrong?"
Cassandra opened her mouth to answer, but immediately shut it. Her husband has indeed never made a wrong decision and his words have always been final. So, rather than trying to make him change his mind, she looked towards her daughter and gave her a sympathetic look.
Meanwhile, Leonica could hardly believe her ears.
She was getting kicked out?
The more she allowed her father’s words sink in, the more the unnerved feeling she had been experiencing unraveled and soon, she could put a finger on the feeling in particular.
It was fear.
Fear that this exact thing happening now would take place. The fear she felt for losing something she cherished had overshadowed the tinge of happy she could have experienced with Melvin’s return.
