Now that Theodore has personally confirmed this matter, it can be released as official news.


    However, at this moment, Charlie interjected with a calm demeanor: “Lord Moore, Ms. Jasmine is currently missing, and her murder has not been verified. I would like to ask, if Miss Jasmine returns safely one day, will you relinquish the chairman’s seat?”


    Theodore had originally anticipated a straightforward transition of power today. He believed he had already won over the entire board of directors, so he thought the rest would merely be a formality. Under these circumstances, he didn’t expect anyone to challenge him.


    But he was taken aback when Charlieunched a sudden challenge against him.


    Though anger bubbled beneath the surface, Theodore maintained hisposure and responded with politeness: “You can be assured that during our board meeting today, we established a fundamental principle. While I have been voted in as the director of the Moore Group, I must acknowledge that Ms. Moore is indeed a more fitting candidate for the chairmanship than I am…”<fna267> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find[?]ovel</fna267><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He continued, “Therefore, I solemnly announce to everyone present: once Miss Jasmine returns safely, I will dly step down and return the chairmanship to her. After all, she is the most qualified person to lead the Moore Group!”


    At this moment, a round of apuse erupted, with everyone feeling that Theodore’s words showcased his remarkable vision, character, and integrity.


    As Theodore basked in the crowd’s apuse, Charlie chimed in, “Since Lord Moore has stated that, then you should return the chairmanship to Ms. Jasmine.”


    Seeing Charlie’s assertive stance, Theodore felt a surge of annoyance and thought to himself: “What’s gotten into Charlie today? Why is he so intent on provoking me? He wants me to return the position to Jasmine immediately. Sure, I can step down, but what about Jasmine and the others? Isn’t Charlie supposed to be the legendary figure? If he really has that power, why hasn’t he brought Jasmine back safely?”


    With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Theodore felt a wave of irritation but replied earnestly, “As I mentioned earlier, my capabilities pale inparison to Miss Jasmine’s. I genuinely look forward to working under her leadership. If Ms. Jasmine can return to China safely, I will voluntarily step down and take on the role of vice chairman of the Moore Group.”


    Charlie smiled coolly, “Well, since you’ve made that deration in front of everyone, be sure to keep your word.”


    Theodore responded, his displeasure barely contained, “Don’t worry, I, Theodore, never go back on my word!”


    Just as he finished speaking, the conference room door swung open forcefully, revealing several men in ck suits.


    As more than a dozen identically dressed men split into two groups and entered the venue, everyone looked on in stunned silence.


    Theodore shouted angrily, “Who are you? What is the meaning of this? I want you to know this is the Moore Group’s private venue, and you’re entering illegally! Where’s security? Get them out of here!”


    At that moment, a striking woman in a fitted ck suit and high heels strode in confidently. As she entered, the atmosphere shifted dramatically, and everyone froze in shock. This woman approached the meeting with purpose, her gaze locked on Theodore as she proimed loudly, “They are all my people. Who has the right to drive them away?”


    Theodore felt as if the ground had fallen out from under him. The woman speaking was none other than his niece, Jasmine!
