?Chapter 741:


    Little did she know, when she confidently engaged others earlier, Kaiden’s thoughts had wandered to the enigmatic figure behind the Rich Private Foundation. Having ample capital emboldened individuals to take risks with confidence.


    And sufficient insight endowed one with the authority to speak eloquently and decisively.


    Talon subtly signaled, prompting the group to start rearranging their seating positions.


    He harbored no desire to amodate Kaiden. However, he feared Ellie mightpel him to surrender his seat to Kaiden if they refused to make space for him!


    “Very well, let’s delve into the matter at hand.” Talon shot a somber nce in Ellie’s direction. “Considering my father’s condition, he’ll require rest even upon awakening. Hence, someone must oversee the family’s business and affairs in the interim.”


    One individual quickly proposed, “I believe you are well-suited for the task, Talon. You have attended to numerous family matters, earning Jorge’s trust.” Others swiftly chimed in, voicing their concurrence.


    Evidently, they had coordinated in advance to endorse Talon’s rise to authority.


    The invitation extended to Kaiden appeared to be purely ceremonial.


    At this point, the butler approached, bearing a document in hand.


    “I have an important document here,” he announced, unveiling the document from a well-worn leather bag. “The master has already allocated the primary responsibilities within the Thorpe family—Talon to manage internal affairs.” Excitement gleamed in Talon and Erick’s eyes, anticipating their inheritance. The butler proceeded, “And Kaiden is designated to assume the role of CEO of Thorpe Group.”


    The smug expressions on Talon and Erick’s faces faltered, murmurs erupting throughout the room.


    The division of authority within the family versus the CEO position within thepany was starkly uneven, rendering Jorge’s decision seemingly unjust.


    “How can this be?” Erick seized the document, seeking to validate its authenticity.

    “This document has been notarized by a reputablewyer,” the butler reassured, implying there was no hint of doubt regarding its authenticity.


    Ellie noticed a frostiness creeping into Kaiden’s expression.


    Kaiden’s presence had been at the butler’s request.


    The butler, a trustedpanion who had stood by Jorge’s side and assisted a young Kaiden and Leo, had called him here out of reverence for their shared history of kindness. He did not anticipate the butler bestowing upon him such a significant responsibility. With Jorge’s meticulously documented allocation of authority, the meeting no longer seemed to matter.


    Talon never imagined that his efforts would inadvertently bring benefits to Kaiden.


    Ellie and Kaiden exited the meeting room ahead of everyone else.


    “Mrs. Thorpe!”


    A member of the Thorpe family swiftly caught up to them, eager to engage in conversation.


    Ellie, mentally assessing the information about him, regarded him as a neutral party.
