“Of course.”
Violet smiled. “Let’s go.”

Larson Group.
A name that had rarely made the financial headlines in recent years, a synonym for low–key prestige. Though hardly mentioned now, it remained the stabilizing pir of the entire Crorus financial sphere.
The calm, deep sea finally stirred at this moment.
“Have you heard? Ourpany may have a new heiress.”
It was a slow period at the front desk, and a quick–witted young woman spoke up first.
Hearing this, everyone gathered around wore confused expressions. Among them, a woman who looked like the bossy big–sister type raised a brow. “A new heiress? What new heiress? Ms. Larson has been in charge for almost 30 years. Who could possibly shake her position? Her two daughters aren’t even adults yet, so that’s impossible.”
She analyzed with obvious disdain, looking toward the young receptionist with a hint of
contempt.
But the young receptionist acted as if she didn’t notice, tilting her head. “That shouldn’t be the case. My dad works for the Shaws, and he heard it straight from Mr. Shaw himself!”
“Mr. Shaw?<b>” </b>
The moment this title came out, everyone gasped and huddled even closer.
Lucinda’s father worked as a butler for the Shaws. If he really said it, then it was probably true. But the point was, why would such newse from Mr. Shaw himself?
The big–sister type folded her arms. “Lucinda, I think you’ve gone crazy trying to get attention. The Shaws and ourpany barely have any interaction except for that recent coboration. If we really had an heir iing, that news shouldn’t be known by Mr. Shaw before anyone else.”
The others hesitated for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

“Exactly, Heather is right! Even we people inside the Shaw circle don’t know anything. If there really is news, it would be hidden at the upper level. Why would it be leaked to Mr. Shaw?”
Someone eager to tter Heather Einman spoke immediately, casting a condescending nce at Lucinda.
Lucinda Darman opened her mouth wanting to say something, but Heather’s sharp re forced her to swallow the words back down. She could onlyin silently in her heart.
What “inside the Shaw circle“? At the end of the day, she was just a receptionist. And somehow she’s iming to have better intel than Mr. Shaw?
But Lucinda also knew Heather had never liked her. No matter what she said now, it would be useless. She only wanted to share some gossip, so if things turned tense on the surface, it wouldn’t be worth it.
She could only sit back down.
“Ms. Larson is back!”
Someone ran from the entrance, shouting.
The receptionists immediately returned to their seats, straightening their posture and putting on professional, official smiles.
“Ms. Larson… Welc-”
When they saw the person walking up, the word “wee” got stuck in their throats. None of them could

eyes widened.
What were they seeing?
Who was that person? How dare she stand in front of Ms. Larson? And Ms. Larson wasn’t displeased at all. Instead, she was smiling brightly behind her, asionally leaning forward to whisper something.
Heather suddenly snapped her head toward Lucinda.
Could what Lucinda said actually be true?
“This is the new iing CEO.”
Seeing the stunned and nk–faced receptionists, Violet withdrew the warm expression she

had shown Tess. Her tone naturally carried the cold authority of someone in power.

The receptionists were instantly intimidated, standing straighter as they bowed 90 degrees toward Tess. “Greetings!”
Heather, as the leader, lifted her head first and saw a clean, elegant, indifferent face.
The woman lifted a finger slightly. Her features were delicate, her temperament refined, and even her voice seemed like a handful of snow from the mountains.
“Greetings.”
Her cool voice lingered in the air as she strode away, leaving only the drifting hem of her gauzy dress behind.
At this moment, inside the board office…
“How’s the preparation? Tess will be here any moment!”
“Don’t rush me, don’t rush me. This is important; I’m not going to mess it up.”
“Gosh, let me check, might as well look through the documents again.”
The spacious office was crowded with several elderly men with graying hair. Their eyes were full of excitement as they pushed each other aside to look through the stack of thick documents on the desk.
“Never thought it would happen. I’ve been worrying about the Larsons every day–afraid that once I kick the bucket, there’ll be no one to take over.”
“Exactly! Good thing they brought her back from Aetheris!”
“The
person
chosen by Violet and Gillian can’t possibly be wrong!”
These words fully expressed everyone’s sentiment. Their hearty, resonantughter filled the entire office.
“What are you allughing at?”
A teasing female voice appeared along with the sound of the door opening.
Violet wore a yful look on her eyes.

The elders all stood up at once, looking behind her. “Violet, why are you alone?”
They craned their necks, nearly calling out Tess’s name directly.

Violet knew these old rascals far too well. Just looking at their expressions, she already knew exactly what they were thinking before they even asked.
