Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Return and Face-Slapping!
Four years later.
The Ford Group’s succession ceremony is in full swing.
Theodore Ford’s health had been deteriorating for years, and Chloe Ford had fully taken over his affairs, becoming the primary leader of The Ford Group. Now, it’s unquestionable that she’s the head of the company.
After today, Chloe Ford will officially be the president of The Ford Group.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Chloe Ford’s face is full of smugness.
Over these four years, she has taken control of everything from the past, and now she is the true Chloe Ford!
"President Ford, under your leadership, The Ford Group will certainly achieve even greater heights."
"We hope President Ford will look after us in the future."
At the succession ceremony, wine glasses clink as everyone congratulates Chloe Ford.
Nina Shaw is also present today. She has struck a deal with Chloe Ford; The Ford Group belongs to Chloe Ford, and she will enjoy dividend profits.
"Congratulations, Chloe."
Nina Shaw also raises her wine glass towards Chloe Ford.
Chloe Ford, with her bold red lips, smiles gracefully: "And congratulations to you, soon to become Mrs. Blackwood."
Four years ago, June Keane passed away, and Sebastian Blackwood delayed marrying Nina Shaw under the pretext of mourning. It was only this year that he relented.
Upon hearing this, Nina Shaw lets out a contented sigh.
Although she’s waited a while, hasn’t she still managed to become Mrs. Blackwood?
After all, now when she walks out, who doesn’t respectfully call her Mrs. Blackwood?
Just at that moment, Sebastian Blackwood also strides into the ceremony.
The passage of four years has only deepened the calm aura around the man, highlighting more of nature’s favor on his features, even a mere casual glance can captivate others.
At this moment, he’s dressed in a black suit, enhancing his tall stature and long legs, the mature man’s charisma is indeed heart-stirring.
Nina Shaw secretly marvels, happily walks over and takes his arm.
"Brother Sebastian, you’re here."
She snuggles next to him, perfectly embodying a demure woman’s demeanor.
Sebastian Blackwood coldly responds with an ’mm,’ allowing her to hold his arm, his demeanor indulgent.
This scene draws everyone at the succession ceremony to look over with suggestive gazes; over these four years, Master Blackwood has showered Nina Shaw with affection, which has let both the Ford and Shaw families rise along with her.
Everyone in Celestia knows Nina Shaw is Master Blackwood’s cherished darling; she must not be provoked!
"Alright, the succession ceremony can begin."
At this moment, Theodore Ford walks in, the four years having aged him significantly.
Theodore Ford and Chloe Ford step onto the succession stage, officially announcing: "As of today, Ms. Chloe Ford is successfully taking over as president of The Ford Group. Let’s give her a warm round of applause!"
Before the applause starts, a clear voice cuts through the air—
"I object!"
The next second, a stunning figure strides in with a fierce aura, wearing high heels.
That is... Ivy Kensington!
Ivy Kensington?!
The person who was thought to have died four years ago suddenly appears, shocking everyone present.
"If I’m not mistaken, this... this is Ivy Kensington?"
"Wasn’t she dead? How come she’s back now? Am I seeing things..."
The crowd buzzes with chatter, entirely unable to believe the scene before them.
Ivy Kensington is clad in a beige long dress, draped with a coat in the same hue, her long hair cascading like ink beside her, her fiery red lips mesmerizing like an enchantress.
Her gaze fixates directly on the stage where Chloe Ford stands, carrying a hint of mockery.
Ha, an impostor trying to take over The Ford Group’s presidency, what a dream!
Now that she’s back, she’s determined to settle the scores for all that was owed to her four years ago; no one will escape!
