The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2129

Sanderson mused to himself, his thoughts wandering.

Jacob approached with a sense of purpose, placing a document before him. "Mr. Sanderson, please have a look at this."

Sanderson glanced at Jacob and, with a warm smile, took the papers. "What's this, Jacob?"

As he flipped the cover open, his demeanor shifted in an instant.

The first page laid bare a listing of all the major projects undertaken by the Strand Group over the past fifteen years. Flipping further, it was more of the same: a catalog of project names.

"What is this, Mr. Strand?" One of Sanderson’s backers asked, his patience wearing thin. "Let's just vote on the new chairman already. You've been off gallivanting for months; you probably don't realize how things are piling up at the Strand Group. We've got urgent issues to address..."d2

"Lawler, trust me, I'm well aware of the situation the Strand Group is in," Jacob interjected, leaning back in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desktop. "Why don't you take a look at what you're holding? It might shed some light on where the problems with the Strand Group have been festering all these years."

Lawler's lips curled into a smirk, "Ah, so this is about clearing your father's name?"

"My father's reputation isn't in need of any clearing," Jacob replied coolly. "I want to discuss why the Strand Group, despite once thriving, has been on a steep decline for the past couple of decades. Mr. Sanderson said we need to identify the root of the problem to make things better. My father has been out of the picture for a while now, and yet, the Group hasn't improved—in fact, it's gotten worse. What does that tell us?"

With poker-faced stoicism, Sanderson replied, "Old issues aren't something we can simply resolve in a few months." He knew trouble was brewing the moment he laid eyes on the document.

"Maybe you should take a look, Mr. Sanderson," Jacob suggested with a sardonic smile.

Sanderson instinctively glanced at Rosalynn, who was absorbed in the document.
