    “Anyone thinking they can take over while Mr. nchet is away must think again.” Ellinor warned the


    crowd. “As long as I’m around, the nchet Corporation will never be under anyone else’s name!”


    Her deration left the room silent. Even those who harbored resentment did not dare object further.


    They had no ground to stand on. Indeed, with Theo gone, and Ellinor being first in line to inherit the


    corporation, the shareholders had no right


    to im leadership.

    The meetingsted for an hour and a half, with Ellinor articting her points effectively. Despite their


    reluctance to follow a young woman’s lead, the shrewd shareholders had to admit she had a knack for


    managing the business.


    “Meeting adjourned.”


    After the meeting, Ellinor left the room and headed to the CEO’s office to n the next steps. Veronica,


    the secretary seated outside the office, immediately followed her upon seeing her return.


    “How did it go? Did those old foxes give you a hard time?” Veronica asked.


    Ellinor took a sip from her water bottle and raised an eyebrow. “What do you think?”


    Veronica grimaced. “I bet they made things difficult for you. Those old geezers are full of ambition but


    lack ability. Only my brother could keep them in check.”


    Ellinor wasn’t new to managing a corporation. She founded the Crescent Society herself, after all.


    However, theplexities of the nchet family’s century–old business were more challenging to


    handle. Dealing with the old shareholders indeed took more effort than she anticipated.


    However, by the end of the meeting, the old shareholders seemed to be morepliant. Since Theo’s


    disappearance, Putnam nchet had returned to manage the corporation for three years. But as his


    health deteriorated, the doctor advised him against further exertion. Therefore, he asked Ellinor to take


    over temporarily until Theo returned. Or until their child was old enough to take over.


    Previously, Putnam didn’t have a good opinion of her. But over the years, he grew to trust and


    appreciate her. Ellinor initially chose to stay out of the nchet family’s power struggles, but with


    Putnam’s failing health and the old shareholders eyeing the corporation greedily, she had no choice but


    to step in.


    Veronica, a recent college graduate, took a secretary position in thepany. Her job didn’t involve


    much, but she kept an eye on the corporation’s internal workings.


    “What’s on your mind, Ellinor? Why are you so quiet?” Veronica asked, tilting her head curiously when


    she noticed Ellinor zoning out.
