Chapter 456 I Thought Something Happened

• Despite Rufus' reassuring words, Xavier's pride and strong mindset prevented him from seeking refuge under the wings of his elders.
• He glanced at his wife, whom he had promised to protect, before turning to look at Rufus. With determination, he declared, “Thank you, Grandpa, but I can handle the affairs of the company on my own. Even if my father opposes me, I'll ensure the proper handling of all matters concerning the company. As for his personal matters, based on what we've witnessed, I'm afraid it won't be easy to change his mind. However, I stand by what you said about Fairchild Corporation. I won't falter simply because he's my father.”
• “Great!” Rufus reached over and gave his grandson a pat on the shoulder. “It's good that you are aware of what you should do, but your absence for the past two months did affect the company, so I'll have a meeting with the directors tomorrow to discuss it. You must be punished, even if it's only to appease them. For the time being, I'll suspend your duties as CEO. Whether or not you'll be able to regain your former position will depend on your performance and capabilities.”
