Chapter 638

Chapter 638:

Zahir had always been sensible. As a child, he never caused trouble and displayed a sense of responsibility and maturity beyond his years. So, now that he was back, it was only natural for him to take over the company.

In contrast, Wesley had always been more carefree and rebellious, often getting into trouble. Despite Clayton’s best efforts to guide him, he still couldn’t match Zahir’s steadiness.

It seemed that fate had charted the paths of Zahir and Wesley from the very beginning.

Clayton and Zahir shared a simple vegetarian meal at the temple before returning to Ansport. Meanwhile, Jada was busy in her office.

She was well-versed in finance and investment, and had spent the entire afternoon persuading Wesley to sign a contract with her. If Wesley helped her transport perfumes overseas for sale, she could establish a thriving market that would elevate her brand to new heights. With that success, her income would soar, and she would no longer have to rely on anyone else.

Convinced by Jada’s words, Wesley firmly believed their collaboration would be a success.

Jada was delighted to have finalized the contract with Wesley. With the project settled, she invited him to dinner to celebrate.

But just as they stepped out of her office, her assistant rushed over, looking panicked.

Jada asked, confused, “What’s wrong?”

The assistant’s face was filled with tension. “The chairman of the Lambert Group has announced a change in the company’s CEO.”

Jada and Wesley were both stunned for a moment. They struggled to process the news.

Wesley was Clayton’s only grandson. Who else could Clayton possibly appoint as the CEO besides him?

At that moment, Wesley’s phone buzzed incessantly. He pulled it from his pocket and checked, only to find the company group chat flooded with messages.

He opened the group chat and scrolled through the thread. It turned out that Clayton had personally appointed Zahir as the new CEO.

Zahir?

How could it be him? Wasn’t he supposed to be dead? Wesley’s mind raced as he recalled the person he had seen at the international competition. Could it really have been Zahir?

Had Zahir really not died?

“Wesley, what’s wrong?” Jada couldn’t help but ask when she noticed his unusual expression. He didn’t seem to hear her. She asked again, but he was still lost in thought.

She looked at his phone and saw the messages. The confirmation of Zahir’s appointment as the new CEO hit her like a gut punch.
