Chapter 435

I really liked Ms. Whitaker! She was beautiful, kind-hearted, and talented. I heard that many big shots in the medical field praised her as a genius. With her leadership, Ink Pharmaceuticals would definitely thrive in the future! The employees were all excited and showered Isabelle with words of praise.

Isabelle had been coming to the company a lot, and the employees were all familiar with her. At first, everyone didn't know her identity, but later, when she mentioned their former chairman, Harriet, she referred to her as "Mom." Draven always treated her with great respect and even vaguely hinted that Isabelle would be the future boss of the company. Suddenly, everyone knew Isabelle's status. The employees of Ink Pharmaceuticals, known for their medical genius, were very satisfied with their future boss!

However, the entire company—probably only the veterans who used to follow Harriet, and the current department heads—were not so enthusiastic about Isabelle. Even as they watched Isabelle become more involved in Ink Pharmaceuticals, her power grew gradually, and they felt that everything had changed.

The annual meeting was lively, yet several senior ministers, no longer young, sat together, occasionally exchanging a few words, all showing a lack of enthusiasm. On stage, CEO Draven was already speaking. “Please welcome Ms. Whitaker!”

Isabelle appeared in her finest attire. This was not the first time she had participated in such an event at Ink Pharmaceuticals. As she stood on the stage, she skillfully waved and greeted the crowd of employees below. Upon hearing the sudden cheers from the audience, Isabelle's lips curled up imperceptibly, and she confidently took the position that had just belonged to Draven, completely embodying the demeanor of a company leader, and took the microphone from his hand.

What does Ophelia care anymore? These things, they are all hers now! In the corner, the ministers gathered backstage. Nathan Calderon, whose hair had already turned slightly gray, glanced coldly towards the stage and checked the time on his wristwatch. He said, “It’s getting late; I have to leave.” Several other ministers stood up one after another, saying, “I also have some matters to attend to; let’s go together.”

They were not interested in watching Isabelle. The annual meeting still had over an hour to go, which meant that if they stayed, they would be missing out on more than an hour of their lives. No way were they going to do that! Several ministers stood up and were about to leave.

But at this moment, the doors of the banquet hall were suddenly pushed open, making a loud noise. A group of people appeared at the door, with a stunning and powerful-looking girl leading the way. Her gaze swept over the crowd in the banquet hall, and she curved her lips, her soft and pleasant voice reaching the ears of the people. “Such a lively scene, and yet no one invited me?”

Isabelle, who was basking in the limelight, suddenly had a drastic change in her facial expression! Ophelia seemed to be looking for trouble, and the general manager, Draven, frowned. “Who are you?” Ophelia’s gaze first swept over Isabelle, and then landed on Draven. She identified him for a moment, as if in recollection, and after a while, she accurately revealed Draven’s identity and past.

“Draven, male, 53 years old, in the year 20XX, was noticed by Harriet, the founder of Ink Pharmaceuticals, and was promoted against the norm. He went from being an unemployed person who was about to starve after being laid off by the company, to becoming a member of the management team at Ink Pharmaceuticals.”
