Chapter 271


    After saying that, he pped his hand on the table and nced at Zavier, who was leaning on the chair


    with his eyes closed. “The second vice-president should take this position.”


    Zavier lifted his eyelids and looked at him with an unpleased expression. In a cold voice, he said, “Don’t


    do such stupid things again!”


    He thought, “If this idiot didn’t say I’m suitable for the position in the meeting, Zaiden wouldn’t have the


    chance to let Christopher be the Acting Chairman.”


    The senior executive paused for a moment and said, “I was just hoping that you could get promoted.


    With your ability, you can handle being the chairman, let alone the Acting Chairman.”


    When he said thest sentence, he kept observing Zavier’s expression, and he lowered his voice


    subconsciously.


    Zavier sneered and nced at the senior executive. “Aren’t you afraid of going overboard with your


    ttery? In the future, don’t talk nonsense like this. Be careful not to get yourself in trouble.”


    The senior executive smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Sce. I’ll watch my words when I’m out of this room.”


    Logan was frowning. His face was gloomy, and he didn’t seem happy at all. He looked at his father and


    said, “Dad, are you really going to let Christopher ride above you?”


    Logan couldn’t bear just the thought of it.


    Zavier had spent his whole life working for Sce Corporation. However, in the end, Zachary and


    Kendrick had taken all the benefits. This matter couldn’t be helped. Some things were imprinted in the


    culture of the Sce family.


    Logan thought, “However, something has happened to Kendrick now. Why has Christopher, who has


    never contributed to Sce Corporation and only knows how to have fun, be the Acting


    Chairman? Why can’t those who have worked hard for thepany take the position?”


    “You’re right!” Jayden couldn’t hold it in anymore. He continued, “We have been working hard for


    Sce Corporation. We can’t let uncle and his family reap all the benefits when we don’t even get


    anything, right?”


    Zavier didn’t speak. He stared somewhere with his eyes drooping and was thinking about something.


    After a while, he picked up the coffee cup in front of him and took a sip of it. He smiled meaningfully


    and said, “Do you really think the position of the chairman of Sce Corporation is that good?”


    Christopher didn’t have any connections. It would be impossible for him to be like Kendrick.


    Besides, Zavier had been contributing enough to Sce Corporation throughout his life. He had been


    holding it back all those years. The original regtions had been broken at this time, so there was no


    need for him to hang on to it anymore.


    He thought, “The second vice-president?”


    Whenever the others addressed him that way, he felt extremely irritated.


    After the meeting, Joyce returned to the Sce residence, while Christopher went to the office with


    La. As Zavier had said, Christopher did not know much about the situation of Sce Corporation at


    this time, so he needed to hurry up adapt to Kendrick’s working style.


    and


    Yuliana knew that they hade back on that day. Hence, she asked the kitchen staff to prepare a


    meal at noon. However, she didn’t expect that they would go to Sce Corporation first and didn’t go


    back to the Sce residence directly.


    In the past half a month, Yuliana knew about Christopher and Joyce’s situation abroad. However, she


    knew about it from La. She didn’t have much contact with Christopher. They had gone abroad in a


    hurry that day. She and Christopher hadn’t been talking much. Also, she had been worrying about him


    because of his condition then.


    After lunch, Yuliana apanied Winnie back to her room and chatted with her for a while. After she


    fell asleep, Yuliana went to check on Alex. He was doing his homework obediently in his study room. A


    teacher came to teach him in the morning and assigned him some homework.


    Yuliana only stood at the door for a while and didn’t go in to disturb him. She went downstairs and was


    about to call Christopher when she heard a noise. outside. She saw the housekeepers helping Joyce


    with her suitcase and entering the house.

    “Joyce,” Yuliana called. She looked behind Joyce and didn’t see anyone else.


    Joyce saw through Yuliana’s mind. Joyce said, “Chris is still in thepany and will only be able to


    come back at night. He is the Acting Chairman of Sce Corporation now. He should be very busy in


    the future.”


    Yuliana had seen how busy Kendrick was. He basically went out early and returnedte at night every


    day. He couldn’t spend much of his time at home.


    Yuliana nodded faintly as she noticed Joyce’s face was tired. Joyce had only gone away for half a


    month, but she already looked much thinner and tanned. It seemed that she had had a tough time at


    Nardor.


    Yuliana said, “Joyce, go back to your room and rest. I’ll ask the kitchen staff to cook some food for you.


    Have a good sleep after eating.”


    Joyce smiled faintly. “Yuliana, thank you for your help.”


    “I didn’t do much.”


    Yuliana actually did think that way. No matter what happened to Zachary or Kendrick, she didn’t do


    anything much to help them. The only thing she could do was to help look after Winnie and Alex.


    However, there were many housekeepers in the Sce residence. Hence, she didn’t have much to do.


    Joyce went back to her room. However, she didn’t take a rest. As soon as she entered and smelled the


    familiar scent in the room, her eyes became blurry and


    moist.


    For the past


    half a month, she had been forcing herself not to copse, thinking that as long as she didn’t see


    Kendrick’s body, he must still be alive. However, the days passed, and she became more and more


    depressed.


    Until this time, looking at the traces left by Kendrick in the room, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.


    Joyce fell onto the ground and cried with her mouth covered.


    Hearing the news of Joyce’s return, Alex ran over excitedly. When he was about to turn the doorknob


    and enter, he found that the door couldn’t be pushed open.


    He thought, “Why can’t I rotate the doorknob?”


    “Mom! Mom!”


    Alex shouted from outside, “Are you inside? Let me in!”


    Hearing Alex’s voice, Joyce immediately wiped away her tears and took a deep breath to calm herself


    down. Then, she got up and opened the door. Looking at her son standing outside the door, she forced


    a smile. “Aunt Yuliana said you were doing your homework.”


    Alex looked into her eyes and didn’t say anything. Then, he jumped into Joyce’s arms and hugged her


    tightly. After a while, he came out of her embrace with his eyes reddened. “I know you went to find dad


    with Uncle Chris. Mom, don’t cry and don’t be sad. Even if Dad can’t be found for the time being, it


    doesn’t matter. You still have me. I’ll study hard. When I grow up, I’ll help you find Dad.”


    Hearing this, Joyce burst into tears again. She squatted down and hugged Alex while sobbing.


    Yuliana saw this scene when she went upstairs to check on Joyce.


    It was the first time she had seen Joyce crying like this after knowing her for so long.


    She didn’t disturb them and went downstairs silently.


    Half an hourter, the kitchen staff made some food. Yuliana sent some of them to Joyce’s room.


    Christopher didn’te back untilte at night.


    The lights in the room were still on.


    Yuliana was sitting at the head of the bed with a novel in her hand. Rowan had fallen asleep in the crib.


    The light in the room was dim.


    Christopher opened the door and saw the scene. He held the doorknob and stood


    at the door.
