Chapter 48
originally, everyone was speculating about what had prompted Gerald to call this meeting so ungratly. No one expected that it was to announce my promotion to the company’s vice
chairman
I looked up in shock, starting at him in disbelie
In the crowd, people exchanged looks and mormored in astonishment
“oh my. Mr. Smith actually promoted]nih
the the vice daiman. Is he planning to hand met the company to him in the future?“
“But I heard that Joshua isn’t the Smith family’s biological son…
“Really? Why don’t I know about this? Then, what does this make Racquette?”
“I the company is to be handed over to loquelle, it will probably go under sooner in later, Joshua has a great reputation in the business world. At least with him, the company will thrive, and we will still have stable jobs
Raquelle may st at the management table, but does she really think that makes het capable? How ridiculous, Does she even understand contracts? Can she sign her name on anything
These whispered remarks reached my ears loud and clear.
Not far away, Banquelle also seemed to hear the gossip and ridicule directed at her. Her face darkened, and she looked at Gerald in frustration, exclaiming, “Dad, what are you talking about “Silence I’m conducting a meeti
Gerald paid her no mind, coldly cutting her off. He then continued sternly, “After careful consideration. I’ve decided to remove Ricquelle from her position as the general manager demote her to a department supervisor.”
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock at these woods. None of them expected Geld to be so clear–headed
He promoted the person who had contributed the most to the company–me–and demond Racquelle, who was known for accomplishing little and being capable of even less. Naturally, the employees wanted the company to develop in a positive direction. That way ild work smoothly and earns happily, rather than endure the oppressive atmosphere meated by Raquelle and live each day in misery.
To them my promotion and her demotion made little difference. After all, I was already the one handling both big and small matters in the company. In truth, I had already been in charge of the company
However, it was a different story for Racquelle. She had gre
Igrown up spoiled, never having to dace any hardships, or challenges.
Gerald’s promotion of me now struck her as a massive Now She could no longer care about the fact that we were in the middle of a meeting of that the entire company was present. She stood up angrily, staring at Gerald in dibeli,
“Dad what exactly are you saying? Why should he be the vice chairman and get so many shares? I’m your biological daughter. Why are you giving the shares to him?
Gerald’s gaze remained calm, unfazed by her outburst. Instead, he gave her a brief glance and sald seriously. “When it comes to the company’s affairs, I make the decisions. If anyone has any objections, feel free to speak up now.”
The room fell utterly silent. Everyone understood who could actually bring them prosperity Following someone like Racquelle might mean they wouldn’t even get scraps to live on
Fuming, Racquele clenched her teeth, but she couldn’t utter a single word. She could only glare at me with hatred. If looks could all, I would probably have died under her gaze a good soo times by now
Seeing that no one objected, Gerald cleared his throat, smiled, and continued, “Alright then. It seems like everyone greatly respects joshua’s abilities, so I can hereby announce
At that moment, I slowly rose, interrupting him. “Mr. Smith, please reconsider. I am not the best candidate for this role.”
In a month, I would be leaving the Smith Jamily and stepping away from the Smith Group.
I didn’t want any entanglement with facquelle, so I wouldn’t take these shares, nor would I accept the vice chairman position. Gerald was simply trying to use this as a condition for me to marry his daughter.
