Chapter 204: Confrontation of Sharp Points
Trantor:549690339
” Xavier Gagher?”
A sudden voice in the room broke the stalemate.
Xavier Gagher, Michael Gagher’s brother.
The once dead man appeared out of nowhere!
“Weren’t you burned to death? How are you still alive?!”
“I remember the video released in the news back then, the man was burned to ashes. How could he possibly still be alive? This person is definitely not Xavier Gagher! He must be an imposter!”
Whispers and gasps filled the room, everyone looking pale and frightened.
“There might be people who look the same in this world, and besides, with the advancement of technology, as long as there is enough money, let alone stic surgery, cloning someone is not difficult.”
Someone muttered these words, calming everyone’s nerves.
Resurrecting from the dead is far too terrifying, and “imposter” is a more usible exnation.
“If you’re not Xavier Gagher, then who are you?” Mr. Lambert’s emotions gradually stabilized.
He had worked in thepany for decades and seen many ups and downs, but witnessing Xavier Gaghering back from the dead was a first for him.
Once a person is dead, how can they be alive again?
Mr. Lambert’s face turned from pale to red, embarrassed to be frightened by an imposter.
Molly Walker watched the scene with a puzzled frown, her heart racing.
She felt that this man might not be an imposter.
Even if the man was fake, Isabelle’s emotions were not. The genuine sense of security and happiness on her face when she held onto this man couldn’t be faked.
This man could very well be the real Xavier Gagher!
At the foot of the Gagher Tower, a ck car was parked.
Jake Leaford sat in the driver’s seat, squinting at the big screen in the middle of the car, tuning in to the live broadcast of the shareholders’ meeting. Perhaps to show fairness, the election for the Chairman was unexpectedly broadcasted live.
“Damn it, Xavier Gagher is actually not dead!”
As soon as Xavier Gagher appeared, Jake Leaford fiercely drew in a puff of smoke, his eyes widening like copper bells.
The atmosphere in the car was eerily silent, as a few snowkesnded on the car window, cold and absurd.
In the passenger seat, Michael Gagher’s gaze was deep, a ck mask covering most of his face. As soon as Xavier Gagher appeared, his bony fingers gripped into a fist.
He didn’t die, how could he not be dead?!
His father hadmitted suicide for his older brother; his mother had left with regrets.
And his good big brother had been hiding in the shadows all this time, silently watching him live in guilt for so many years.
“What a show-off, really good at pretending!” Jake Leaford couldn’t help but swear.
All these years, he had seen Michael Gagher live shackled by guilt, even turning a blind eye to protecting Isabelle for Xavier’s sake.
But this Xavier Gagher, not only was he not dead, he was also involved with Isabelle.
“Do you think Isabelle has been in contact with him all along?”
Jake Leaford hesitated, then immediately regretted asking the question—wasn’t the truth right in front of him?
Seeing Michael Gagher’s eyes filled with red bloodshot veins, he didn’t dare ask any more doubts.
It was obvious that the current Xavier Gagher was no longer the Xavier Gagher from back then.
In the CEO’s office of the Gagher Group, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
“Uncle Liu, how can you not recognize me?” Xavier Gagher approached Mr. Lambert with a warm smile on his face. “I remember you gave me aputer when I ranked first in middle school. That was my firstputer, and I remember it clearly.”
At these words, Mr. Lambert’s eyes widened, and his body began to tremble.
Yes, he had given aputer to Xavier Gagher before!
This person isn’t a fake, but the real Xavier Gagher!
“You you you’re not dead?”
Who would have thought that someone who had been dead for five years coulde back to life?!
“Yes, I am not dead. I am Xavier Gagher, Milo Gagher’s son, and Michael Gagher’s brother.” Xavier straightened his back, grinning coldly, “After the fire, I was saved by someone, but my face was ruined. It wasn’t until this year that my face was fully restored. Otherwise, even if I stood before you, you would call me an imposter.”
“If you’re not dead, why didn’t you tell everyone sooner, but choose to appear now?” Mr. Lambert leaned on a chair with suspicion in his tone, “What is your hidden purpose?”
“I have no hidden purpose. If my brother were still alive, I would have stayed hidden forever. But now that he is dead, I muste forward, otherwise, thepany might fall into the hands of outsiders.”
After finishing speaking, Xavier cast a deep look at Molly Walker, walked over to her side, and said to her assistant, Brian Lewis, who was standing beside her: “You were my brother’s assistant, right? From now on, you’ll be my assistant.”
Xavier’s gaze casually took in the speech draft in front of Molly. His slender fingers pinched it and skimmed through it, snickering: “Even thepetition speech needs someone else to write it? And you still fantasize about bing the Chairman of thepany?”
Molly frowned as she saw him discard her speech.
Xavier was obviously targeting her.
“Sir, if I’m not mistaken, there’s no Xavier Gagher in the world anymore.”
Molly slightly raised her chin andughed coldly.
Herugh was ethereal, as she seemed untouched by worldly concerns, pure and beautiful.
Her bright red lips formed a gorgeous smile, her tone ice-cold: “You im to be Xavier Gagher, but he is already dead. The current Xavier Gagher is an illegal immigrant. Illegal immigrants have no eligibility topete for the chairman’s position of Gagher Group.”
The words “illegal immigrant” were like a heavy bomb, exploding in everyone’s ears.
Yes, Xavier Gagher had long been dead, and the current Xavier Gagher was an illegal immigrant, not even recognized by the police.
Being an illegal immigrant, he had no shares and no eligibility to run for the position.
Xavier’s eyes suddenly darkened, their depths filled with disdain, “Relying on my mother’s little shares to aspire to be the chairman? You’re dreaming.”
Molly’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
If Xavier had appeared under normal circumstances, she would have gracefully stepped aside. But now, it was clear that he harbored a personal grudge against her.
What grudge? Sending Isabelle Richardson to prison.
Xavier must not be the chairman of Gagher Group now; otherwise, with the power and money of the chairman, it would not be difficult for Isabelle to stage a switcheroo and get out.
Michael had been ckmailed by Isabelle for so many years out of guilt; if he found out his brother was still alive, who knew what he would feel?
Xavier didn’t appear while Michael was alive; now that Michael was dead, he came to run for the chairman’s position. Molly had no favorable impressions of him any longer.
“I’m sorry, but your words don’t matter.” Molly stood up, smiling confidently, “Mr. Lewis has already ruined the speech he wrote for me. As the chairman of Gagher, improvising a speech is the most basic requirement. Mr. Lewis, may I begin now?”
Brian Lewis was the host of the meeting.
Seeing Molly prepared to improvise her speech, Brian smiled and nodded, “Of course, the baby in your belly is Mr. Gagher’s. You are fully qualified to be the chairman.”
Everyone’s expressions varied as they focused their attention on Molly’s belly.
Her baby was Michael Gagher’s?!
They wouldn’t forget that this woman had been won by Mr. Gagher at the cost of his life.
It would be more urate to say that her unborn child was more qualified to be the chairman than her.
Now she wanted to be the chairman, and they should give her the respect she deserved, as well as the respect for the baby inside her.
“Miss Walker, start your speech.” The one who said this was the oldest, Mr. Lambert.
They wanted to see the abilities of this woman. If she was just an empty pretty face, she wouldn’t have any ground in thispany, let alone her baby.
This time, it was an opportunity and a challenge.
