btle tricks were becoming
staff on the ground floor had no idea who Elena was. As for Camille, her
chuldish every time.
The receptionist had already noticed the Elena showed no sign of panic at all, and that calmness made her hesitate for a brief moment. Could this woman really be someone important? But then again, judging from Camille’s reaction just now, that hardly seemed possible. Camille was, after all, the chairman’s daughter. If even she didn’t recognize Elena, then what kind of important person could Elena possibly be?
“Do you think we can just call the chairman because you ask us to?” the receptionist said, already sounding impatient. “Go on, hurry up and leave.”
She motioned to the security guards, and together they moved to force Elena out. Today was the shareholders‘ meeting, and all the major shareholders would be arriving soon. If anyone happened to see such an ugly scene in the lobby, wouldn’t it only make the staff look incompetent?
They were just about to lay hands on her when a voice came from behind them.
“Mrs. Kingsley?”
Everyone turned toward the entrance at once, including Elena..
A middle–aged man with thinning hair was standing there, looking at them in visible surprise.
Elena studied him for a second. “And you are?”
She had never seen him before.
Once the man confirmed it really was her, he immediately smiled and walked over. The receptionist and the guards, who had been trying to throw Elena out a moment ago, recognized him right away.
“Director York,” they greeted in a rush.
Elena lifted a brow.
She didn’t know him, but at least the way he looked at her wasn’t unpleasant.
“What exactly is going on here?” York asked, already sensing that something was wrong.
By now, the three of them had also realized that the atmosphere had shifted. The receptionist forced an awkward smile and said, “Miss Hart told us that since today is the shareholders‘ meeting, we should remove any unrelated people…”
“Ridiculous.”
York’s face darkened instantly.
This is Ms. Elena Kingsley,” he said sharply. “She is the wife of the CEO of Pinnacle Group, and from today onward, she is also the new chairwoman of the Hart Group. An unrelated person? Do you people even want to keep your jobs?”

It was exactly what Elena had expected.
She couldn’t help laughing softly.

Chapter 358*
Anyone Alexander trusted was enough for her
The elevator soon reached the twenty–sixth floor, and the two of them stepped out one after the other.
Before they even entered the conference room, they could already hear the voices inside, all of them circling around Camille in open flattery.
“It’s only been a short while, and Miss Hart has become even more beautiful.”
“I heard Miss Hart is now the daughter of the Sterling family. The Sterlings are one of the top elite families in Astryn. With Miss Hart here, the Hart Group is bound to prosper.”
“Exactly. I heard the Sterlings are in talks with the government about a seaside amusement park project. If the Hart Group can get in on that collaboration, then we won’t have anything to worry about for the next few years…”
Then came Camille’s sweet, delicate voice.
“Oh, uncles, you’re making fun of me again. I don’t understand any of those things.”
That only invited more fawning.
“Miss Hart doesn’t need to understand all that. Just being the Sterling family’s daughter is enough to solve half the company’s problems.”
“I heard this meeting is about appointing a new chairwoman. Has Chairman Hart finally made up his mind to let you take over?”
Camille answered with feigned modesty.
“I’m not sure either. I only do what my father tells me. You uncles have all watched me grow up, so if I really do become chairwoman of the Hart Group, I’ll definitely consult all of you before making any decisions.”
She smiled obediently as she said it, and the directors were practically delighted by her words.
A young, seemingly manageable girl in the chairwoman’s seat was far better, in their minds, than old
ľ Richard Hart continuing to run the company like a fox guarding à henhouse.
And beyond that, Camille was now a Sterling. If they followed her, who knew how many benefits might come their way in the future.
