NovelXXXChapter 683: They had placed their hopes on Sadie to lead the Wall Group out of its crises.
Now, it seemed that they had badly misjudged her capabilities. She was faltering at such a crucial moment, making them feel like their support had all gone to waste.
Just then, the doors of the conference room swung open.
Sadie stepped inside, followed by Samuel and another, unfamiliar young man.
Everyone was caught off-guard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis young man was tall and striking, but the most distinct thing about him was the mischievous smile he was sporting. He looked like the typical spoiled, rich kid.
"Who is he?" they wondered among themselves.
Sadie walked straight to her seat.
Her expression was calm and unperturbed, but as her gaze swept across the room, they noticed the telltale signs of exhaustion in her.
The past few days had truly been hard on her, but she couldn't afford to waver now. She refused to show any weakness, not when there were so many people waiting for her. She casually plopped down.
The seat he had taken was to Sadie's right—a position reserved exclusively for the Castro family. It had been vacant since Ralph's retirement.
And now this young man just sauntered in and took it? Discover updates gVlThe whispers grew even more animated.
Coyle said nothing, but his expression darkened as he fixed his narrowed eyes on Blaine.
Who was this guy? What was Sadie up to? Malcolm Pierce, one of the shareholders, was livid. He shot up to his feet and pointed a finger at Blaine. "Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to sit there?" He was so furious, even his white beard seemed to tremble when he spoke.
Not that it had any effect on Blaine. If anything, his smile turned even more devious, his eyes gleaming with amusement. He raised an eyebrow at Malcolm and replied, "My..." "My nis Blaine Castro." His tone was light and lazy, as if his ndid not carry the weight that it did.
A pregnant silence fell over the room for a few seconds before it erupted into hushed remarks of confusion and disbelief.
They had heard of Blaine before, of course, but no one had ever seen him in person. All they knew was that he was Ralph's only grandson, that he was raised abroad, had a carefree approach to life, and was notoriously unconventional in his ways.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWas the Castro family finally reclaiming their position among the ranks of the Wall Group? But how was that possible? Coyle's face twisted into an even uglier expression.
The Castro family's sudden involvement was throwing a wrench in his plans. He couldn't allow this to happen! His upper lip curled into a sneer, and he scoffed loudly.
"What is this now, Sadie? Did you honestly think you could fool us by hiring an imposter? Frankly, I find that insulting." Sshareholders bobbed their heads in agreement.
After all, Ralph was a man of great stature. How could this frivolous young man possibly be his grandson?
The way they saw it, Sadie had brought in a fraud in a lattempt to strengthen her fraying authority. Sadie didn't bat an eye at Coyle's questioning. She had anticipated this reaction all along.
