Chapter 621 Success Is Imminent

Ten minutes passed, and the orchestra’s music came to a halt.

The masked host ascended the stage, ready to recount the remarkable achievements of the Xander

Group. Then, the host declared commandingly. “Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming

our

chairman, Mr. Grayson Xander, for his speech!”

The audience responded with enthusiastic applause.

Clad in a sleek black suit, Grayson approached the stage with a beaming smile. He positioned himself

in

front of the microphone and expressed his gratitude to the attendees. Today marks the 100th

anniversary of the Xander Group. I have an important announcement to make on this joyous occasion.”

He gazed affectionately toward the audience and continued. Allow me to introduce my granddaughter,

who will be joining us on stage.”

In hushed tones, attendees around Caroline speculated, “Is Mr. Xander planning to pass his shares to

his

granddaughter?”

“It certainly seems that way. I’ve heard he holds a deep affection for her.”

Upon hearing their discussion, Caroline rose slowly from her seat.

The room fell into astonished silence as people turned their gaze toward her. Evan, in particular, fixed

his

attention on her, only shifting his eyes back to the stage’s screen after a prolonged look.

Evan narrowed his eyes, contemplating the evidence Caroline might present on the screen.

Will she succeed? It won’t be that straightforward, but I need a contingency plan in place. I can’t just

stand by and watch Caroline fail,‘ he thought.

With determination, Evan sent a text message to someone.

“Who’s that woman?”

“I have no idea. Who could recognize her with that mask on?”

“What’s she doing? Is she trying to get on stage?”

“Isn’t it supposed to be Mr. Xander’s granddaughter taking the stage now? What’s she up to?”

“I don’t know where she came from, but she’s going to get kicked out.”

Despite the growing murmurs, the bodyguards made no move to stop Caroline.

Daniella carried her dress gracefully and joined Grayson on stage, embracing him warmly. Then, she

began addressing the audience through the microphone, saying, “I want to express my heartfelt

gratitude



for your presence at the Xander Group’s 100th–anniversary celebration today and for your unwavering

support of the Xander-”

However, Daniella’s speech abruptly stopped as her gaze fell upon a woman in a striking red gown.

She

couldn’t believe her eyes. It was Caroline!

Daniella was utterly shocked. “What is she doing here?”

A sense of foreboding washed over her, leaving her with a lump in her throat.

Grayson lightly tapped Daniella’s arm and urged, “Please continue, Ella.”

Daniella managed to recover from her surprise and stammered, “I apologize. I’m feeling a bit nervous.”

Caroline couldn’t help but sneer at Daniella’s response. She locked eyes with her rival and calmly

made

her way to the center of the stage.

In the surveillance room.

Kenny eagerly rubbed his palms together. “Neil, we’re on the verge of success!”

Neil replied calmly. “Why are you more emotional than I am?”

“How can I not be emotional? But why is Caroline delaying?”

“Stay calm. Caroline is waiting for the perfect moment,” Neil reassured him.

Just as Grayson took the microphone to continue, Caroline suddenly spoke. “Mr. Xander Sr.”

Daniella and Grayson turned to look at Caroline, their expressions shifting.

Grayson’s demeanor turned icy as he demanded, “Who are you? Please return to your seat.”

Caroline responded with a sly chuckle. “Do you honestly believe that Daniella Love, standing beside is

your biological granddaughter?”

The audience erupted in astonishment.

“What does she mean?”
