After having a satisfying lunch, Kimberly had to return to thepany hastily.
It was already Friday, and there was a critical matter she had to take care of in the afternoon.
Ever since she had be Kimberly, it was a luxury for her to even have a peaceful, uninterrupted
lunch.
She had previously been the one who had to wait for others. Now, it was the other way
around.
All this time, she had been the only one going against William.
Dominic always remained as a mere spectator.
Kimberly understood it was his way of survival.
Nheless, there was no room to amodate a freeloader in Larson Corporation. Dominic’s
establishment.
Besides, it was just what Yandel was concerned about.
Dominic was quite skillful, and he could be a precious asset to Larson Corporation’s development if he
were to train himself.
Judging from every aspect, he was the perfect choice to be assigned as CEO.
Since Kimberly had already gained permission to do so, she naturally had to seize the opportunity and
announce it as soon as possible that afternoon.
Yet, this might be another brewing storm.
While she was on the way back to Larson Corporation, she instructed Frederick to inform the board of
directors about the meeting at 2 p.m. sharp.
Also, she emphasized that her uncle, Dominic, must be present at the meeting.
If the main character of the announcement was not there, then she would have done twice the effort for
half the result.
Some members of the board of directors appeared sleepy before the meeting. They did not seem to be
fully awake after their afternoon nap.
It was another emergency meeting.

Some of them got curious and whispered to each other, hoping to elicit some unknown information from
each other.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels click-cking could be heard getting closer to the conference room.
The atmosphere in the room turned cold rapidly, and the people who were chatting stopped their
conversations immediately.
Kimberly sat down and scanned around the room. She saw Dominic in the crowd.
With just a nce, she could tell that the person was Dominic, as his unruly yet arrogant look was
distinct among the crowd.
Quickly, she regained herposure and spoke indifferently, attempting not to disy any emotion on
her face. “Under everyone’s cooperation and hard work, the preparation for our overseas branch is
almost done. Soon, it will begin its operations.”
She added, “This overseas branch has a symbolic meaning to us, as it is a crucial window for us to
expand Larson Corporation’s market internationally. I believe everyone here understands that a
After a slight pause, she continued, “With that being said, the person in charge of this overseas branch
is extremely important.”
At that moment, a slightmotion broke out in the conference room.
Whenever there was news about personnel changes in the corporation, everyone would feel unusually
excited or anxious.
Of course, for the people in the organization, it would be as if they were being assigned. to guard the
borders if they were sent overseas,
No one desired the position at all.
Hence, everyone was worried if they would be the chosen one.
“After serious consideration, ourpany has assigned Dominic to be the CEO of the overseas
branch.”
As soon as they heard the keyword “Dominic,” the rest of the directors immediately switched to
onlooker mode.
Surely, they all had their doubts in mind. However, as long as the chosen ones were not themselves,
they could not care less about finding out the reason behind the decision.
Meanwhile, Dominic was surprised after hearing his name being mentioned.
His heart sk ipped a beat before he instantly regained his senses.
Chapter 21
He was always confident that Kimberly would not dare to do anything to him because of his status.
Although he was not too big of a contributor to thepany, he was nheless still. Yandel’s
youngest son.
Without awaiting his reply, Kimberly’s voice resounded again. “Uncle Dominic, this decision was made
after thepany reflected it carefully. Also, it has been approved by Grandpa. We hope you can
prioritize the bigger picture and be an excellent leader for thepany. You may say something
now.”
Little did Dominic know that his lifetime reputation would all be ruined by Kimberly on this day. Besides,
she even used Yandel’s name in this situation.
Gritting his teeth on both sides, he replied icily. “Thepany has many talented employees, and
we’ve always been hiring capable workers only. I feel that this is a careless decision to make, and I’m
not suitable for this position. Kimberly, you’ve just arrived at thepany, so there might be a lot of
situations that you still need to get ustomed to.”
To Kimberly’s surprise, Dominic remainedposed even when she had crossed his boundaries.
His response was appropriate and respectful.
In the literal sense, not only had he retrieved his pride, but he had also given her a pleasant path to
retreat herself.
Meanwhile, the others who were seated had forgotten their positions on thepany’s board of
directors.
Currently, they were simply there to watch the battle of brains and bravery between the uncle and
niece.
Kimberly was calm and collected when facing Dominic’s admonition, as she was well- prepared to
handle him.
“How could you say that about yourself, Uncle Dominic? Everyone here knows you’re ourpany’s
veteran that has contributed a lot to the growth of ourpany.”
Quickly, she added, “This isn’t my decision, but thepany’s as a whole. We still hope you’ll prioritize
thepany’s interests and put away your personal opinions for now. Perhaps when the overseas
branch is on its track, it will bring us great profit. When the timees, everyone will fight to work
there.”.
The more she seemed nonchnt about the matter, the more Dominic felt unhappy.
Chapter 21
He looked around the conference room and saw everyone had an expression of watching a drama
unfold. They were all watching him get humiliated.
In that instant, his face sank as he realized he was on thin ice.
He thought he could get Yandel’s help. Unexpectedly, Kimberly had earned thetter’s support before
this meeting.
After pondering for a moment, he had no choice but to ept her arrangements.
Finally, she suggested everyone express their gratitude to Dominic and congratte him on his newly
appointed position as the CEO of the overseas branch.
The meeting ended as a round of apuse echoed across the conference room.
After the meeting was adjourned, everyone sighed in relief and thought, “Who cares who the CEO is as
long as it’s not ourselves?”
There were even some people who were secretly overjoyed at the oue. Despite not contributing
much to thepany, Dominic had always abused his powers and ordered the employees around
while acting like a tyrannical CEO.
Seeing how his younger brother had gotten into a difficult situation, William finally caught a chance to
fan the mes.
As soon as they exited the conference room, William patted Dominic’s shoulder, and they walked into
thetter’s office together.
The moment they entered the office, Dominic could no longer hold his anger. He took. off his zer

He had never experienced such dismay of being disobeyed in all his life.
However, he could not believe Kimberly would dare assert her dominance against him. and do
whatever she pleased with him.
His rage increased the more he thought about it. Furiously, hended a kick on the
chair.
Seeing that, William began bbering about Kimberly’s crimes.
He could not help but feel it was a significant humiliation for letting her walk away
victorious.
Whenever he recalled how she gifted him a counterfeit antique on the day he moved. out from the
Larson residence, he would feel infuriated.
He did not expect Kimberly to be so like his eldest brother, Cameron, who was

If this went on, he would get into serious trouble when she eventually got too powerful and began
digging deeper into Cameron’s cause of death.
Hence, he must seize the opportunity to enrage Dominic so that they could coborate. to take
Kimberly down.
That way, he could finally get his revenge and reap the benefits from Dominic.
