Chapter 1630
The annual meeting''s banquet hade to its climax as Jared coolly stood by Nicole''s side the entire
time. All eyes were on them. Meanwhile, Daniel''s family was busy focusing on the banquet''s attendees,
with countless of people swarming them.
The annual meeting was almosting to an end, and Mr. Riddle Sr. was due to give his concluding
speech. All eyes were on Mr. Riddle Sr. as he walked up the stage. It was everyone''s assumption that
this year’s annual meeting was no different from the previous years.
Mr. Riddle Sr. paused for a moment before he said, “At the end of tonight''s annual meeting, I would like
to make an important announcement to everyone."
His steady tone of voice attracted everyone''s attention at once.
Damien''s heart skipped a beat as Miley hurriedly asked,” What''s going on? What is he going to
announce? Did he tell you anything in advance?"
"No..." Damien said as his face brimmed with bitterness.

Miley became unsettled, as an inexplicable feeling of dread began to flood her heart.
At this time, Dillon went up to them, and in a tone of urgency, he asked, "Damien, what''s he going to
announce? Do you know?
Why haven''t I heard anything about it?”
Damien was immediately annoyed. “How am I supposed to know?!”
Taken aback by the sudden outburst, Dillon fell silent, with Karen not daring to utter a word even if she
wanted to.
Then, Mr. Riddle Sr. took a nce at the four of his sons, whereupon his eyes fell on Daniel.
"Daniel,e up here,” he said.
Daniel was stunned for a moment, and quickly, he scrambled up onto the stage, prompting everyone to
turn their attention to him. Gloria and her sons sensed that something was going to happen, as they
looked at Daniel with eyes full of hope. Nicole was also a little surprised too, but due to the fact that she
had guessed Mr. Riddle Sr.''s intention, a smile broke out on the corner of her lips.
"I’ve never thought that he would prepare such a grand surprise,” shemented.
Jared raised his eyebrows, "It seems that it''s going to be a very big one.”
And sure enough, after Mr. Riddle Sr. had patted Daniel on his shoulder, he said, "I''m announcing to
you that, starting from today, my fourth son, Daniel Riddle, will be the new chairman of the
company!”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was taken aback, and not long after, a thunderous
round of apuse erupted.
Everyone at the event knew that the fourth son of the Riddle Family had gotten lucky due the help from
their daughter.
When Daniel assumed the position of chairman, the potential of attracting more bigpanies would
berger.
The apuse was deafening, and the expression on the faces of Damien and Miley were as cold as
their hearts. Their eyes were bulging like a deer caught in headlights.
"What did he mean by that? Is he going to dismiss you?" Miley asked.
‘I haven''t stepped down as chairman, and now there''s a new one?! What the hell is this supposed to
mean?’ Damien fumed.
Dillon did not see thising either: the annual meeting turning into Daniel''s inauguration ceremony.
I''ve been in thepany for so long and I''m just a general manager on the same level as Sean! How
did he, who yed nothing but a minor role in thepany, get to be the chairman overnight? What''s
the difference between the making him chairman and announcing that he will be the sessor of the
Riddle Corporation in the future!?’ Dillon seethed.
It was the most depressing piece of news for both Damien and Dillon, but it did not take Mr. Riddle Sr.
long to ask everyone to stop apuding.
“In addition, I would also like to announce that my grandson, Sean, will also be promoted from general
manager to thepany''s president!"
