Chapter 1425

Christian Carrington chimed in: "That’s right, Chloe Collins is indeed my uncle’s daughter and my cousin. She’s even more qualified to take over as President than I am."

Upon hearing this, his father Colin Carrington glared at him.

Christian shrugged his shoulders. His thoughts were simple: If he couldn’t get it, Clara shouldn’t either.

The other shareholders looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise. They all agreed that this was a big piece of news.

Tucked in a corner, Oliver Harding’s hands shook with excitement. Once this explosive news got out, there was going to be an uproar!

He quickly took notes of everyone’s expressions so he could recreate them in his comic later.

A shareholder asked: "Chairman, is this true?"

"Haven’t you all seen it?"

Chase Carrington’s remark served as their answer.

No one had expected this change of events, it was beyond their plans.

"Chloe Collins? Isn’t she that highly respected girl from the Collins family?"

"Yes, that’s her, also Alexander Foster’s fiancee."

"Ah, Alexander Foster’s fiancee? How did she become related to the Fosters?"

"What’s wrong with being related to the Fosters? The Fosters are not some horrifying monsters that you need to avoid so desperately."

"That was in the past, things are different now. If we side with the Fosters, we’d be making the Whites our enemies."

"No, no, we can talk things out."

"Isn’t Chloe Collins Tristan Collins’ daughter? How did she become the Chairman’s daughter now? What’s going on? Could it be..."

"Shh, don’t say that, shut up."

"You all are straying off topic, we’re here to discuss who should become the next president."

"I heard this Chloe Collins is a major shareholder in the Kings’ company and holds a high position; it seems she’s capable of managing the company. If she took over, I’d find it quite exciting."

Among the cacophony of voices, Clara Carrington picked up on this remark which sounded especially grating to her ears.

Her face turned ashen, she hurriedly shot a look to a group of shareholders she had previously persuaded.

At that moment, an elder shareholder spoke up, "I’ve heard that Chloe Collins has been missing for a while now. Even if she’s the Chairman’s daughter, we can’t just wait for her to return before electing a new President, can we?"

"I agree."

Clara breathed a sigh of relief, her complexion returning to normal.

Yes, she had almost forgotten. Chloe Collins was missing.

So what if she was his biological daughter?

"I apologize, I am late."

A cool and steady female voice emanated from the doorway, oozing calm wisdom.

Everyone turned and looked, their faces filling with astonishment.

Charles Carrington smiled, Christian let out a sigh of relief, Chase was delighted.

Chloe was dressed in a slightly formal suit today, but it was still a long coat over long trousers, hinting at a Western style, simple and elegant, making her shine in their eyes.

In truth, with a face as beautiful as Chloe’s, even if she were in sackcloth, she would still be a sight for sore eyes.

Clara stood up in an instant, her eyes wide in disbelief, her face screaming incredulous.

Just yesterday, she thought Chloe Collins had become a star in the sky watching her grow stronger step by step. How did she transform into a living and breathing person standing before her today?!

She discreetly pinched her own thigh, wincing at the pain.

Everyone else was also extremely surprised, murmuring amongst themselves about her sudden appearance.

Clara regained her composure and walked up to Chloe, hand extended: "Miss Collins, we’ve met before. You remember me, right?"

Her smile seemed friendly and warm.
