Chapter 1691 Why Would She Hand The Company To You

“All right.” Ralph followed Cassandra downstairs, both eager to uncover the identity of the new CEO. What he didn’t expect was the shock awaiting him. 

Amidst a cluster of senior executives stood Cecilia, poised and confident in a simple yet elegant business suit. Her aura carried an uncanny resemblance to Queenie’s younger days. 

Scorpius was struck by the likeness. He called out respectfully, “Ms. Cecilia.” 

The others quickly followed suit, echoing their deference. 

Cecilia acknowledged them with a polite smile. “I look forward to working with all of you.” 

Scorpius stepped forward. “Ms. Cecilia, you’ve just arrived. Let’s go upstairs for a chat.” 

“Of course,” Cecilia agreed, following his lead. 

On their way upstairs, they encountered Cassandra. She was too lost in her own thoughts to immediately notice the group until Cecilia approached. Cassandra’s eyes widened in disbelief as realization dawned. 

Blocking their path, she demanded, “Cecilia, what’s going on here?” Her gaze shifted to Scorpius. “Scorpius, is she the new CEO you mentioned?” 

“Yes,” Scorpius replied curtly. 

Cassandra looked like she’d been struck by lightning. “What a ridiculous joke! She’s just a clueless bumpkin. Why on earth would anyone entrust her with running a company?” 

Scorpius’s face darkened. “Because Ms. Cecilia is Mdm. Queenie’s biological daughter. And because Mdm. Queenie herself appointed her as the CEO of Jamieson Group.” 

The weight of his words hit Cassandra like a ton of bricks. Her hands clenched into fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. 

She turned to Cecilia, her voice trembling with disbelief. “What did you do? Why would Mom hand the company over to you?” 

Cecilia didn’t bother answering and moved to walk past her. 

Cassandra, however, wasn’t willing to let it go. She grabbed Cecilia’s sleeve, clearly ready for a confrontation. But she forgot that Charlotte was right by her side. 

Though not as formidable as Sven, Charlotte was more than capable of handling someone like Cassandra. 

With a swift move, Charlotte grabbed Cassandra’s hand and pulled it away. Cassandra cried out, grimacing in pain. “L–Let go of me!” 

Charlotte released her with a flick of the wrist and dusted off her hands as though she’d touched something unpleasant. “Here’s some advice–if you’re not up for the task, don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong.” 

Cassandra’s face flushed crimson with humiliation. She could do nothing but watch as Cecilia continued toward the CEO’s office, escorted by Scorpius and her entourage.

When they entered the office, Scorpius gestured around. “Ms. Cecilia, this will be your workspace. If there’s anything you’d like changed, let me know.” 

Cecilia surveyed the room briefly and shook her head. “That won’t be necessary. It’s perfect as it is.”
