Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

"Shh. I'll have to ask everyone to lower their voices now." The emcee hastily spoke up to maintain order within the crowd.

"Jason is my only grandson. My daughter left me a long time ago, but God blessed me with the opportunity to reunite with my granddaughter, Selena. Now that Jason's a married man, I can't deny the truth for much longer-I'm indeed an old man who should step aside and leave the business to the younger generation. I hereby announce my decision to transfer all of my shares to my grandson, Jason."

The news came like a bolt from the blue-everyone in the crowd was shocked! Who was the one who said that Jerry had transferred all of the shares to Selena? they wondered. He ended up transferring it to his grandson! The Oberlin Family wore the most miserable expressions in the crowd-there were no adjectives that could describe the look on Bradley and Jane's faces then. We had been so certain about it. How did everything change so suddenly? Bradley thought.

"Jason, my darling grandson, I'm an old man now. Your father began to work with me ever since he was 18, and we've all been running the business for a really long while now. We put in our all for the sake of this business, and I hope that you'll continue to develop the Murray Group now that I'm passing it over to you, okay?" Jerry continued.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I won't let you down." Jason realized the tears glistening in Jerry's eyes as he spoke. Jerry raised an arm to call for Selena up onto the stage after that.

"Grandpa," she said.

"I'm indebted to you and your mother, Selena. You deserve a part of this company, but it's going to be hard for you to travel here and there since you're staying in a different country. Moreover, I don't want to trouble you any further since you already have your own business. I think the men should be the ones who work their butts off for the business, don't you think?" He chuckled.

"Of course, Grandpa!" Selena leaned forward to hug her grandfather. "Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you so much." Selena had never intended to inherit the family business anyway. She was already beyond thankful that the Murrays had accepted her as one of them. Jerry knew all along that she wasn't interested in the company. He also had another realization now that he was much older. Things that seem appealing and magnificent on the outside aren't always that great, after all.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Everyone in the Murray Family wore smiles on their faces as the wedding ceremony came to a perfect end. The afterparty lasted long after the ceremony ended, but Savannah was escorted back to the family house soon after the ceremony was over. Jason, on the other hand, had to greet and socialize with all of the guests that had shown up that night.

Selena sent Pierre a look when she realized what was going on. However, Pierre didn't understand what she was trying to convey at first. "Why are you winking at me like that?" he asked.

"Why else do you think I'm doing this? I've trained you for a long while, and now's your time to shine."

"What are you talking about? What did you train me to do?" he asked.

Selena raised an eyebrow. Are you sure you don't understand what I'm talking about?

"Don't look at me that way," Pierre muttered.

"Oh, hurry up! Tonight is Jason's wedding night. Look at all the people here! He'd never get to leave this place if you don't go over and distract the guests for a while, Go on; you have to help him escape those people," she urged.

Pierre shot her an indignant expression. "No way! How could you pick him over me? Are you going to sacrifice your own husband just like that? I've already drunk a lot!" he protested.

"I know how good you are at drinking. Come on; you're a smart man, so you'll be fine. I'll give you a present once we get home," she whispered into his ear.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked

at her. "I'll go over now, then." With that said, he immediately brought his glass of wine over to where Jason was standing. "You should leave now. You don't want your wedding night to go to waste!"

Right after that, Pierre turned to the rest of the guests with a broad grin on his face. "Bottoms up, guys!"

"Thank you." Jason immediately

found himself an excuse to slip away from the crowd. Pierre and Jerry continued to mingle around with their guests while Selena let out a hug yawn. Her vision grew blurry as she gazed at her husband who was drinking with a group of guests a distance away from her Perfect. Everything's just the way it should be.

In the meantime, Jason had just got home.
