A Miracle Fault

Chapter 34 Perfect Match

Before she could finish, Stefan kissed on her lips hard again.

Emmeline's mind went blank when he suddenly kissed her. At the moment, someone knocked the door.

"Master Stefan, Mrs. Stefan, time for breakfast."

Emmeline was stunned. She immediately pushed him away. Stefan raised his eyes to stare at her, looking intoxicated, "Sweetheart…"

"Get up! Someone knocked the door!"

"Just leave her alone!"

Half an hour later, Emmeline pushed him to go downstairs. While Edison looked quite sullen when having breakfast. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

He looked up at Stefan. Then he shifted to look at Emmeline, who seemed to be stiff. Then he sighed and kept silent.

The birthday banquet was held on time. Though Edison didn't invite many guests, all those big shots from the upper class and all senior managers of the Byrne Group had attended.

Edison only announced to the public that Stefan was the biggest shareholder of the group. But he didn't announce the final inheritor of the president.

Frank squinted while trying hard to suppress his anger. Then he looked at Nicholas and nodded at him. When seeing that, Nicholas walked out of the horde of guests and strode towards Edison, "Mr. Edison, I would like to express my true blessing for your eightieth birthday on behalf of my family! Now you can finally shift your work to your grandson."

"Yeah, Mr. Edison, we have been waiting for you to announce the name of the next president. Would you make it today?" Mr. Lee smiled weirdly. Of course, he was one of the henchmen of Frank.

When hearing that, Nicholas turned to be livid. He then stared at Nicholas with his sharp eyes, "I will announce the name of the next president in June. Today is my birthday! And I don't want to talk about business! Now I just want to have a family talk with Mr. Nicholas."

Nicholas was stunned. Then he hurried to look at Emmeline, who was standing beside the wheelchair.

Emmeline, who stood behind Stefan, looked tiny and weak as his shadow shed on her. While Stefan was looking at her.

Nicholas had been afraid during the past month. When he knew that his wife sent Emmeline to the island, he had a serious quarrel with her. He had been worried if Emmeline would be exposed. Once Edison was pissed off, the whole Campbell Family would be stroke hard.

However, it had been a month. Emmeline wasn't sent back home. Meanwhile, he was invited to attend the birthday banquet of Edison.

As Anayah had been begging him to mention about the inheritor of the president of Byrne Group during the banquet, besides, since Anayah would still marry Frank sooner or later, he deemed that Edison wouldn't be mad even though he did so.

What was more, since Emmeline had been still kept on the island. He deemed that she should get along well with Stefan. So Nicholas mustered up courage to mention about the candidate of the next president. However, he didn't expect that Edison actually got mad.

Nicholas then looked at Stefan, who was sitting on his wheelchair idly, looking emotionless but mysterious. His dark eyes seemed to be glittering with coldness, making Nicholas chilled.

Though Stefan was a cripple on the wheelchair, he looked dominant just like a king. Emmeline was still standing behind him quietly.

'Emmeline, you look thinner!' Nicholas felt a bit sorry for her.

"Mr. Nicholas, ever since Anayah married Stefan, you haven't come to visit your daughter. Today it's time for both of you to have a family talk." Edison squinted at Nicholas with sharp eyes.

"Thank you, Mr. Edison." Nicholas then walked over to Emmeline.

When he bypassed Stefan and looked at Emmeline, he could feel that Emmeline seemed to look at him like a stranger.

He walked over and whispered to Emmeline, "Emmeline, let's walk out for a talk."

Then she nodded.

All the other guests saw them walk out of the venue.

"Mr. Edison, Miss Anayah is really a perfect match with Mr. Stefan!" Mr. Lee hurried to the front of Edison to say fawningly.

"Yeah! Miss Anayah looks so pure and pretty. She really acted as a decent well-mannered debutante."

"What a perfect match indeed!"

Being surrounded by fawning words, Edison just smiled looking at Stefan.

"Thank you, everyone. Today I would like to announce on behalf of my grandpa and the other board members that Frank and I will work for the Byrne Group on June."

Stefan rolled his wheelchair to approach Edison. He raised his eyes with a meaningful smile while others were all looking at him with great surprise.

"As you all know that there is something wrong with my legs, but fortunately, I keep my brain sane. I would like to do something for the group in case some of the gossipers would accuse me of gaining without paying. After all, I took the biggest proportion of shares."

Then he looked around all the guests.

"Mr. Stefan, why don't you take a rest? It's okay for Mr. Frank to deal with the work."

"Yeah, rest is the most valuable for you. We believe that Mr. Frank will make the group better."

When hearing that, he smiled mockingly, "Thank you for your concern. But I need no rest! I will formally work for the Byrne Group next month."

As he just finished, all the other guests couldn't help gasping for air. Only Frank was so stunned that he fixed his eyes on the wry smile of Stefan. Suddenly, he trembled all over out of anger.

'You are coming back to fight me, right! You are coming for the position of the next president!'

Stefan simply ignored Frank, the mind of whom was filled with mixed feelings. He then went over beside Edison and smiled, "Grandpa, don't doubt about it. I am really willing to work for the Byrne Group. After all, it's your painstaking effort of your whole life. As your grandson, I don't want to gain without paying."

Looking into his firm eyes, Edison could tell that Stefan was serious. He patted on his shoulder gently and smiled with surprise, "Really? You are coming back to work for the group?"

"Yes, I am back. Grandpa, sorry for making you worried about me all these years. No matter what happened, I am willing to work for the Byrne Group!" Stefan reached out his hand to hold his grandpa's.

Edison also held his hand tight, "Great! I am glad that you will be back! Great!"

Frank strode forward immediately, "Stefan, why don't you stay on the island to enjoy your time? Let me handle this. Grandpa, don't worry. I will definitely make the Byrne Group greater and better! I won't waste your honor!"

However, Edison still ignored him as if he didn't even catch his words. He only held the hands of Stefan and simply ignored those board members around. Then he pushed Stefan's wheelchair and turned around, "Stefan, let's go! Since you are back, I will make Chand Well your assistant! I will tell him to notice you something about the group in advance."
