Chapter 506 Caught Off Guard
All this while, Dream Corporation was run by Yandel.
Thus, the public was only aware of him as the CEO and no one knew who the chairman was.
Consequently, they began to discuss the matter after hearing what Ross had said.
As Dream Pharmaceutical’s director of R&D, Ross would at most address Yandel as the CEO.
There was no way he would address Natalie as the chairman unless she really was the chairman of the board.
“H-How is this possible?” Yara recoiled in shock.
Just like Yara, Thomas stared at Natalie in bewilderment.
No one had expected that a lady in her twenties was responsible for building up Dream Corporation into a company that could stand toe to toe with Dexmed Pharmaceutical in as little as five years.
Natalie gave Ross the side-eye. Nevertheless, she knew he didn’t reveal her identity to expose her. Instead, he was trying to stop Yara from spreading malicious rumors.
Even though the revelation was well-intended, its timing had caught her off guard.
Nonetheless, if Yandel were around, he might react in a way that was even more dramatic.
“Yara, this is a conference, not a banquet.” Natalie stared coldly at her. “Don’t tell me that you still think of me as Ross’ plus-one?”
At that moment, Yara felt as if she had been figuratively slapped in the face.
All this while, she had assumed that Natalie was just an ugly nobody and didn’t imagine that she would turn out to be the chairman of Dream. Furthermore, influential figures such as Yandel and Ross were only her subordinates.
Just when she thought that she had outshone Natalie, it dawned upon her that she was the one being outshone instead.
The sudden realization devastated her.
Even though Yara was wallowing in anguish, Natalie didn’t feel jubilant at all.
