“Yes,” Samuel replied respectfully and amiably. “The older ones, headed by Mr. Ralph, think coming down is beneath them. They wanted you to know they’re in charge.“.

“Is that so?” Pearl was unfazed, her face cold. “Things have changed, but my uncles

are still clueless.”

Ralph Woolery sat in the meeting room with five directors, their legs crossed as they enjoyed their coffee. They appeared nonchalant but were anxious in

“Why isn’t anyone here?” Ralph sat in the chairman’s seat, his chubby face impatient. He ordered the female secretary behind him, “Go check it out.”

“Ralph, chill. He’ll come eventually. He’s probably asserting himself.” Errol Woolery wore a priest outfit and held a rosary, appearing religious.

“Youngsters are so unreliable now.” Ralph shook his head. “Relax. Just go according to our plan. The company belongs to our family. I have the final say

They were shocked again.

As Pearl announced the meeting was over, Ralph and Errol barged in furiously with a group of people. However, they were astonished to see her. “Pearl

Ralph and Errol were caught off guard. They didn’t expect their niece to be the savior who acquired 51% of Woolery Group shares.

Three years ago, the heiress of Woolery Group accidentally fell off a cliff during a mountain climb. Her body was never found. Seizing the opportunity, Ralph and Errol divided her assets and stocks. They didn’t expect her to return safely.

Pearl enjoyed the shock on their faces, leaning lazily back in her seat. “Uncle Ralph, Uncle Errol, aren’t you happy?”

Her words woke them up. Ralph and Errol changed their expressions, crying as they went to hug her. “Thank god you’re safe, Pearl. Your parents would have been happy…”

Pearl slid her chair back, frowning in disdain. Her tone was icy. “That’s true.”

Ralph and Errol panicked under her cold gaze.

“Yes, sir. There’s another matter.” The assistant sensed Marc wasn’t in a good mood. and quickly emphasized that it was work–related.

Marc responded, “Speak.”

The assistant reported, “The mysterious savior of the Woolery Group turned up a few days ago. According to the news, it’s Miss Pearl Woolery.”
