Having worked alongside Darwin for nearly thirty years, Attorney Vance had never questioned any of his decisions.
But this time, he couldn't comprehend it. What kind of sheer audacity did it take for Darwin to make such a call?
This was no different from an ancient emperor bypassing his sons and grandsons to pass the throne to a granddaughter-in-law.
Unable to hold back any longer, Attorney Vance asked, "Mr. Charles, do you truly intend to hand everything over to Ms. White? Do you need me to make some minor adjustments to the agreement?"
He asked vaguely, but what he really meant was whether Darwin wanted to insert hidden clauses to control Camilla.
After all, this agreement was originally drafted out of Tessa's guilt as a pure compensation for Lance, so it naturally favored him entirely. Now that the assets were going to Camilla, it would be normal to tweak the terms.
Darwin's expression darkened. "What adjustments? I said those things in front of you so you would clearly understand who will be running The Charles Group from now on. Victor, being meticulous is a good trait, but from now on, stop taking matters into your own hands. If I need you to change something, I'll tell you."
Attorney Vance nodded repeatedly, though the shock in his heart hadn't lessened a bit. How could he not understand Darwin's words?
The old man was genuinely handing the reins of The Charles Group over to Camilla.
He couldn't even begin to imagine the uproar this news would cause when it reached the corporate headquarters.
The landscape of The Charles Group was about to experience a seismic shift.
Not daring to delay, Attorney Vance quickly replied, "You are right to correct me. I overstepped."
Darwin waved his hand gently. "Never mind. If there's nothing else, both of you step out. I want some time alone."
When Camilla came downstairs, Lance was pushing Jasper on the swing in the yard.
Oscar and Tessa had already left, making the massive estate feel a bit empty.
Lance immediately noticed Camilla's solemn expression. He handed Jasper over to a nearby maid and strode toward her. "Why the heavy face? Did Grandpa say something? Is he putting pressure on you?"
Camilla had come out specifically to talk to him about this, so she didn't hide anything. She managed a slight smile. "You're a good guesser, Lance. Grandpa said he wants me to take over the company. He also wants your parents' shares transferred to my name."
