I love Jaye too much to do anything other than help her in every instance, but I have to say that I understand why the other path is there. Anybody has to admit that the MCs relationship with Jaye has been bad for a very long time. They have been acting like a divorced couple since they were 15. There are two ways that you can go when a relationship has grown so sour. You can do the work to make amends or take the easy way out and stay the course, looking out for your own heart. The MC in the path where he is trying to run the company probably doesn't trust Jaye enough to run it well herself, so he is telling himself that he is pursuing what is best for her by way of enlightened self-interest. This is a depressingly common point of view. Now is the MC being moral or ethical in trying to look out for his own interests and wrest control of the company from her? Probably not. Definitely a shitty thing to do but it might be the right thing for him. In the business world, it doesn't matter if you do what is right if at the end of the day you lose control of your financial interests. It isn't a matter of right or wrong it is a matter of "who's the boss?"
I still wouldn't piss on the MC if he was on fire if he lets Jaye drown, though.
