Chapter 436

When Harriet passed away, she appointed him General Manager of Ink Pharmaceuticals, entrusting him to oversee the company until her daughter, Ophelia, grew up and took over.

Speaking of this, Ophelia smirked and stared at Draven with a cold, sharp gaze. “Mr. Pineda, did you forget the words my mother entrusted to you before she passed away? Don’t you even recognize me?”

“Who am I? Well, I am Ophelia, Harriet’s daughter, the future boss of this company!”

Harriet’s daughter?! Draven’s face instantly changed, filled with astonishment. How did Ophelia come? Wasn’t she abandoned by the Greene family?

Draven hadn’t paid attention to Ophelia before; he had only seen her edgy, killer eye makeup. So, when she appeared in person, he didn’t recognize her at all! Ophelia’s unexpected arrival truly caught him off guard. Draven instinctively looked at Isabelle.

In the audience, as Ophelia finished speaking, a commotion erupted. “What did she say? She was the chairman’s daughter?!”

She was the chairman’s daughter, so what was Ms. Whitaker? “Wasn’t it said that Ms. Whitaker would be our future boss?!” “What happened?”

The employees were extremely shocked. Isabelle’s adopted daughter’s identity wasn’t a secret in upper circles, but she never mentioned it publicly. Therefore, until now, the employees still believed she was Harriet’s biological daughter. Who knew—with a loud bang, a girl claiming to be Harriet’s biological daughter appeared!

The employees didn’t like to surf the internet for gossip, so they had no idea about the recent online uproar over the biological daughter and adopted daughter incident. Occasionally, one or two saw it, but they were suppressed by Draven and didn’t dare say anything.

Therefore, at that time, they were completely confused and had no idea what was going on. Everyone looked at Isabelle on the stage, waiting for her to explain.

Feeling the gazes gathering from all directions, Isabelle’s face gradually became stiff. She clenched the fabric of her skirt tightly in her palm, her heart filled with disbelief. How could Ophelia have come?!

But no matter why Ophelia came, she had to handle the situation well today! Otherwise, everything she had worked so hard for in the company would be ruined!

But Ophelia didn’t give her any time. After questioning Draven, Ophelia didn’t hesitate and immediately confronted her. “Ms. Whitaker, aren’t you going to explain to me? Why were you here?”

As she spoke, she walked toward the stage, with Graham and two bodyguards clearing a path for her. A moment later, Ophelia stepped onto the stage, exposing her ethereal and unparalleled face to everyone’s gaze. She stood opposite Isabelle, her eyes cold and sharp, her presence commanding and completely overpowering Isabelle.

Isabelle was forced into such a miserable state for the first time. She barely managed to maintain a calm appearance and said, “Today was the annual meeting of Ink Pharmaceuticals. Mom was not here, so I came to offer my condolences to the company’s employees.”

“It was you, Ophelia, what did you take this as? We all prepared for the annual meeting for so long, and you say it’s ruined, right?!”

Ophelia coldly chuckled, raising her chin slightly, and bluntly said, “Who do you call Mom? My mom only gave birth to me, her only daughter, in her entire life! Does she acknowledge you?”

The employees in the audience were all stunned. What do you mean she only gave birth to one daughter? So you’re saying Isabelle isn’t even her daughter? But hasn’t she always identified herself as Harriet’s daughter?!
