The audience were appalled by the second announcement that Mr. Riddle Sr. had made. ‘The fourth son to Mr. Riddle Sr. has been promoted to chairman, and now, his grandson has been promoted to president!?’
The chairman position had been vacant for all long while now, and Damien, who was the interim chairman, had not even gotten to achieve this position, which would grant him more power. Nevertheless, Mr. Riddle Sr. had given Daniel the position just like that, which showed how much he valued his fourth son.
"Sean! Congratulations!" Spencer and Samuel were the first to react by congratulating Sean.
"Congrats Sean!"
Sean was still surprised, as he did not expect that he would be promoted alongside his father.
"This is great, Sean!" Stanley yelled in excitement.
However, before he could say another word, Mr. Riddle Sr. spoke again. "Although Stanley has only been with us for a short time, his capabilities are obvious to all of us. Both he and Sean have cooperated in excellent fashion to manage the recent projects, so Stanley too will be promoted to the position of general manager."
Gloria was so excited that she almost cried. ‘After so many years of hardship, my husband finally has gotten a position in the company! Our sons too have become crucial figures in the company! We won't have to be afraid anymore, not even of Damien.’
One after another, all the attendees present at the event were stunned by the announcements made. Nicole could not foresee that her grandfather would promote her father and brothers all at once.
Instinctively, she darted a glance at Damien and Dillon, and that was when she noticed that their faces had turned extremely pale. All the promotions made were basically done to replace their positions in the company.
‘It seems to me that all the announcements made have just made things clear. We, Damien and Dillon, are nothing more than acting directors and general managers in the company! ‘they seethed.
As the applause was about to heighten once more, Mr. Riddle Sr. raised his hand up, signaling everyone to wait; it seemed that there was still more to come.
"It seems to me that he is going all out tonight, and there's a blockbuster waiting to unravel.” Jared took a look at Nicole and sighed.
Nicole raised her eyebrows as she looked at Jared. She felt that Jared had probably gotten a hint of something. Then, she looked up at Mr. Riddle Sr. again and that was when he noticed that he was looking right at her.
"I announce that from today onwards, 26% of the shares under my name will be transferred to my granddaughter, Nicole!” Mr. Riddle Sr.'s sonorous and forceful voice echoed throughout the room.
This time, it was not the sound of applauses that filled the room, but the sound of gasps from everyone present in the banquet.
"My goodness...26% of the shares..."
"Such a young woman gets to own that many shares in the company...”
"As expected of the bearer of the Fire Crest. She now owns the most shares in the company!"
"Yeah! Mr. Riddle Sr.'s total share is 51% in total? The combinations of the other four sons are only 36%...”
"Doesn't that make her the biggest director in the company?"
Following the discussion among the crowd, everyone came to a conclusion and looked at Nicole with a mixture of both surprise and astonishment.
On the other hand, Nicole had never been stared at by so many people in her life. ‘It's so uncomfortable.’
In the past, Nicole had always preferred to be as discreet as possible. In order to elude any problems that she feared she would attract, she would rather be recognized as a country bumpkin. However, now that Mr. Riddle Sr. had given her the most shares, making the most important director in the company at just 18 years of age, it had become a massive joke that not everyone could pull.
Once Nicole's brothers had returned to their senses, they were left in a state of disbelief.
"Nicole... you have become the largest shareholder of our company..."
