Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 37 The heiress of E Shine

VICTORIA’S POV

My word might sound foreign to Daniel as he stared at me with a “what the fuck you are talking about” expression.

Even though Daniel and I have become very close, almost like siblings, he still doesn’t know my real identity. He knows I am Victoria Blake and has a good connection with the company’s Director.

He never heard Jayden mention this to him either; otherwise, he would have bombarded me with many questions.

I only smiled at him, keeping it mysterious. “You will soon know what I am talking about. Just do as I say.”

He nodded, his expression serious.

I walked out of the office. For the first time, I’m revealing my true identity. Finally, I’m going to claim what is rightfully mine.

This would cause a major uproar in the corporate world, but it must be done. I can’t take any more risks with my unborn child. If saving this baby needs endless power from my side, I would accept it.

I ran into a rushed and anxious Antonio as I made my way to the conference hall, where Reynolds was attempting to turn everyone against me.

His eyes were cold and furious. I’ve never seen him so angry; he usually keeps his cool until… Well, I stopped him.

“I will fucking kill him!” He growled. “How dare he bully you! I will rip his tongue off!” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

I patted him on his arm. “Calm down, Antonio. I have decided to reveal my true identity. What do you think?”

“Of course, this is obvious! I would have done it today if you didn’t.” He announced with a presidential demeanor.

“Let’s go. I will come with you.” He said, and I nodded in agreement as we made our way to the conference room.

Everyone was furious with their untold expression as we stepped into the hall. I walked in with Antonio right by my side.

All eyes focused on us as we arrived, and their expressions conveyed nothing but disgust. I only imagine how they would react after hearing the reality.

I wish mama and papa would be here; they would be so happy with my decision. This is something they’d always hoped for.

I ignored all the gazes on me. “I am sorry for being late,” I stated.

Antonio sat in the Director’s seat, and I moved to the empty chair next to him, which had formerly been reserved for the company’s CEO but had been empty for years.

There has never been a CEO in this company. I decided not to accept the position when I wanted to start a new life and instead start my career with a simple background as a designer.

However, Antonio put me in the role of design director, where I had to face many difficulties and challenges in such a short time. Finally, this chair got its owner.

I heard a gasp beside me; It was Daniel. He tensed up and whispered in my ear.

“Ma’am, you chose the wrong seat. This is not yours!”

I smiled. “It’s alright. I know what I am doing.” I said, and I noticed him gasp, glancing about. I also turned my gaze to the audience, who all stared at me in disbelief.

“I heard something very interesting is going on here?” Antonio raised his brow at the employees and partners.

Suddenly…

“Mr. Edwards, the company’s internal voting results are out. Over half of Victoria’s designer colleagues want her to quit the company.” He pointed his finger at me.

“You were not here and didn’t even know what she did to me! This woman is crazy! She bit me up with a hired goonda!”

The entire hall echoed with gasps and then became silent. I heard Daniel’s low grunt beside me.

Amber followed next,

“Mr. Edwards, Victoria’s entry into the company does not comply with the company’s rules.”

“Yes, yes, Miss Amber is right.” The PR Director agreed, and others nodded.

“Even now, she is occupying the CEO seat, which rightfully belongs to E Shine’s heiress. Till now, no one dared to raise questions against it, respecting the final decision of the late chairman and our

current chairman (Victoria’s grandfather and her father).” The human resource director said.

“She has created a mess in the company. She destroyed the peace of E Shine!” Amber said again.

The criticism was raised against me as I only heard but said nothing. The same goes for Antonio; he only listened to their complaints.

After everyone started calming down, Antonio turned his gaze to me. “So, do you have something to say, Victoria?”

I smiled and looked around. “Of course, I do have. After all, everyone is talking about me. As a matter of fact, I have a lot to say and take action against some people.”

I roamed my gaze to the audience for once before saying, “everyone knows the company’s CEO is the heiress of Edwards. Since the previous CEO retired and made way for the next generation, this seat has been vacant. I remember that was Mrs. Edward.”

I paused and returned my sight to the crowd. “And from today onwards, this chair won’t go empty because it got its owner. You guessed it right, that is me.”

I stood up before their shocked and enraged eyes.

“Let me officially introduce myself to you. I am Victoria Edwards, the daughter of Vincent and Arianna Edwards. I am officially taking responsibility from today onwards as the CEO of E Shine and the second most shareholder in the company. I’m counting on you guys to back me up in all I do from henceforth.”

I announced as if I had set the time bomb in the hall and mentioned it. Everyone was staring at me with their jaw almost hitting the floor.

And I kept smiling.

Is this what power feels like? So superior? Because from now on, I am gonna use the full of it…
