Chapter 1630
The annual meeting's banquet had come 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 almost coming 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.

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 glance at the four of his sons, whereupon his eyes fell on Daniel.
"Daniel, come 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," she commented.
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 become 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
applause 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 big companies would be larger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe applause 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 this coming either: the annual meeting turning into Daniel's inauguration ceremony.
Tve been in the company for so long and I'm just a general manager on the same level as Sean! How did he, who
played nothing but a minor role in the company, get to be the chairman overnight? What's the difference between
the making him chairman and announcing that he will be the successor 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 applauding. "In addition, I would also like to announce that my grandson, Sean, will also be
promoted from general manager to the company's president!"
