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 were in a tight spot. The group is battling internal dissent and external pressures. Youre the only one capable of fixing the situation.
Larry wasnt well-versed in the intricacies of Blakely Groups operations, and adjusting would require a significant chunk of time.
Rival businesses seized this window of vulnerability to grab Blakely Groups assets and projects.
The top executives in the company werent 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 Cesars passing and Tyrone stepping down, Blakely Groups share value had been on a decline. Although there was a small rise occasionally, they were short-lived.
Before the New Years 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 its the work of the Fowler family.
Fowler family? Tyrone repeated in a low voice, his gaze dropping as he processed this revelation.
Why were the Fowler family targeting Blakely Group?
Youve 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 Groups senior executives, but they remained tight-lipped.
Tyrone frowned slightly. Direct confrontation with the Fowlers isnt 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?
