Not A Small-Town Girl

Sitting at the side, Sebastian’s lips curled into a sneer. His expression was a little sinister. His status was his sore spot. Because of it, he never earned his grandfather’s favor, and David always kept him underfoot.

"Mr. Randall, I know I don’t have my brother’s caliber, but I’m not bad either," he said. "Folks, please give me a chance. I’ll definitely exceed your expectations."

Sebastian suppressed the anger within him and smiled slowly.

"That’s right," Johan said. "Sebastian’s abilities just haven’t been seen by everyone yet. Recently, our company has a key project, and we’re prepping to build a shopping mall in the city. I think we should let him be in charge. This way, he can prove whether or not he has the abilities."

Johan quickly seconded the idea. He thought, ’I know these directors are dissatisfied, but so what? The most important thing is that Sebastian succeeds in gaining a foothold in Charrington Group. "This is a good opportunity to prove Sebastian’s abilities," Geoffrey said. "I now decide to let Sebastian handle the mall project in the city. I also discussed this with Logan a few days ago, and he didn’t have any objections."

Geoffrey went with the flow and decided on this matter. The first step was to help Sebastian stabilize his position in Charrington Group. Compared to David, he found Sebastian more obedient and easier to control.

This time, he even mentioned Logan, leaving even those who still wanted to object speechless for a moment. Although Logan had stepped down, no one dared to object to his words. The directors thought, ’But could it be that Logan intends to groom Sebastian?

’Is the Charrington family about to undergo a major change? Then why didn’t Geoffrey mention it was Logan’s decision from the start, and only now is he bringing him up?’

The group of people exchanged glances, silently communicating with their eyes. Geoffrey heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no one stepped forward to object. He had no choice but to mention Logan earlier, creating some illusions for these people and making them think that Logan had the intention to groom Sebastian.

"Alright," he said. "Since no one has any objections, I hereby officially announce-"

"Clap, clap, clap."

Loud claps echoed throughout the conference room.

Just then, Nathan walked in with a half-smile.

"Mr. Charrington, what great authority you have," he said. "While David is away on a business trip, you privately hold a meeting to appoint an unimportant person and even assign the company projects as you please. Is this really something Logan has tacitly approved of?"

Geoffrey thought, ’It’s bad enough to be dominated by David the whole time, but Nathan is just a special assistant. He’s just a mere lackey of that undutiful
