Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 592 Wesley patted Catherineâs head. âGo and get ready for Yule Corporationâs 30th-anniversary celebration tonight.â
â¦
Pavilion Intercontinental Hotel.
A grand celebration was underway.
Too many things had happened to the Yule family over the past few years.
Three years ago, Joel suddenly woke up from a coma, after which he insisted on divorcing Nicola, but she objected to the idea. Later, the terms of their divorce were determined by the court. Even so, they were still responsible for their daughter, Melanie.
Since Melanie married Charlie, her status had improved significantly. Not only did she become the Vice Director of Yule Corporation, but she had also developed an electronics company in collaboration with Campos Corporation. It was believed that the Yule Corporation was worth over six trillion dollars.
This day marked the 30th year since Yule Corporation was established, so the company held the grandest celebration ever. It was attended by the most brilliant celebrities and wealthiest families in the business industry across Australia.
In the banquet hall.
After serving a few guests, Joel turned around to find Damien surrounded by tall and influential figures.
A complicated feeling washed over him.
Since Joel regained consciousness three years ago, many things seemed to have changed.
Catherine had committed suicide, and Damien had become the new president of Yule Corporation despite his low self-esteem. The Damien he knew today was a completely different person. He was high-spirited and full of strategies even though he had to rely on a wheelchair. He had also fired many of Joelâs trusted subordinates.
However, Joel turned a blind eye to the situation when he considered that Damien was his biological brother and that the latter was dedicated to nurturing Melanie.
Fortunately, Melanie was sensible and diligent throughout these years.
Nevertheless, Joel could not resist feeling guilty about owing Catherine too much whenever he saw Melanie.
âYouâre here, Joel.â Nicola approached him and said concernedly, âWhen are you planning to announce that Melanieâs officially the CEO of the company and her joint venture with Campos Corporation?
A hint of hatred flashed across Joelâs eyes. âWho let you in?â
âHey, why canât I come? Iâm Melanieâs biological mom,â Nicola replied arrogantly. âLook how capable our daughter is. After so many years, are you still worried about letting her manage Yule Corporation?â
Joel could not be bothered about her. The sight of her made him feel like puking.
âHi, Sister-in-law and Brother.â Damien smiled as he approached them in a wheelchair.
âIâve told you many times that sheâs no longer your sister-in-law,â Joel warned him with a deep voice.
âI know, I know. It was a slip of the tongue,â Damien said and chuckled. âBrother, seeing how well Melanieâs doing today reminds me that Iâm really old. Now is the time for the younger people to shine.
Some guests have been praising you for having such an outstanding daughter and what a blessing she is for you.â
Joel nodded. âIndeed, Melanie has done quite well over the past two years. Sheâs capable of being the CEO. Iâll announce the news on stage later.â
âBrother, Iâm afraid that itâs hard to convince the public of Melanieâs position as the CEO since she doesnât have any shares,â Damien said with a low voice. âI heard some of the shareholders arenât happy with it. After all, Iâm the president, and the CEO is someone from our family.â
Joel threw him a strange glance. âDamien, if I transfer my shares to Melanie, itâll confirm that sheâll be in charge of Yule Corporationâs future. Are you ready to assist her?â
âBrother, youâre my biological brother. Youâve been looking after me since I was young, so of course, I wonât mind doing it. Whatâs more, I have no children. Iâve always treated Melanie as my daughter.â
Damien smiled faintly. âIâll do my best to assist her so that Yule Corporation can go a long way.â
