Chapter 111 Suddenly, I Had a Powerful Backer
But Madame Charles interrupted her coldly, "I'm not your grandma. Am I related to you by blood? Or
are you Kieran's girlfriend?"
Everly instantly blushed, and then her face turned ashen with rage. Anger choked her words.
All the employees present secretly smiled. They whispered, "Does Ms. Everly want to be the
granddaughter-in-law of the Matriarch?"
"That's right. Otherwise, why would she call the Matriarch grandma?"
I stood quietly by the side. I never thought that the Matriarch would come today. Moreover, she spoke
for me. But after all, she was Kieran's grandmother. I dared not speak.
Madame Charles intimately grasped my hand and announced loudly, "Look, Rachael is Kieran's
fiancée, my future granddaughter-in-law." Then she looked at me kindly and signaled me to call her
Grandma.
To tell the truth, I didn't want to address her in public, especially in such an awkward situation. But
Madame Charles stared at me, so I had no choice but to call, "Grandma!"
"Yes!" Madame Charles responded exaggeratedly and caressed my head affectionately, "Rachael, from
now on, you are the person in charge of Rich!"
I was suddenly stunned. Everyone present was silent as they looked straight at Everly and me.
This time, Everly's face turned cold as she said, "Madame Charles, I was personally appointed by Mr.
Charles!"
Madame Charles looked at Everly and sneered disdainfully, "So what? You are expelled. Now Rachael
is in charge of Rich. Anything wrong?"
Footsteps came from outside the door. Immediately after, Kieran and Armand quickly walked in. At the
sight of Kieran, I instinctively lowered my head. If possible, I wanted to dig a hole and hide myself. I
suspected that Kieran knew I was here and came to skin me alive.
I bet that I was definitely the only person in this world who had kissed Kieran's mouth while riding on
him, although I was giving him artificial respiration to save him. Kieran just didn't know it!
"Kieran, there you are. If you don't come, I will be torn apart alive!" Just as I was about to escape,
Madame Charles suddenly grabbed onto Kieran's hand and cried out in grievance.
Not only I but also all of my colleagues were left dumbfounded. They had no idea what had happened.
The Matriarch was as arrogant as a bully just now. Why did she behave in this way now?
Kieran frowned and supported the Matriarch. "What's wrong, Grandma?"
I observed Kieran's movements. It turned out that Kieran was not obsessional about cleanliness as
usual in front of some people.
"She just scolded me and splashed me with tea. Look at the water on the ground. If I hadn't dodged
quickly, I would have been burned alive. You don't even know how hot that tea was!" Madame Charles
pointed at Everly. Then she pointed at the cup that I had just dropped on the ground and the tea that I
had poured all over the floor.
...
'Well played.'
When Everly saw Kieran, she panicked and waved her hand repeatedly, "Mr. Charles, I didn't do that.
Rachael knocked the tea and I didn't scold your grandma. I really didn't!"
Madame Charles looked at Everly with grievances and tears rolled down her cheeks. "You mean that I
framed you? How could she claim that I framed her?"
...
Wasn't this an obvious frame-up? Furthermore, neither did Madame Charles prepare it in advance, nor
did she even blink her eyes. I always thought that Alicia and Shania were good actors. I didn't expect
that Madame Charles would be as good as the best actor.
The others present were also dumbfounded. To their surprise, Madame Charles would do this.
Moreover, the smart Kieran didn't see her through.
"Mr. Charles, I really didn't. I didn't do anything to the Matriarch. She wanted to fire me for no reason.
Mr. Charles, you have to believe me!" Everly said anxiously.
Madame Charles tugged at the corner of Kieran's clothes and kept crying. She looked at Kieran pitifully
like a wronged child. "Kieran, she bullied me!"
"Fire her!" Kieran spat coldly without blinking his eyes.
My eyes widened. I never imagined that Kieran, who had always been wise and only put interests first,
would say so. Everyone knew that Everly had made great contributions to Universal Group and Rich,
and created great value.
"Mr. Charles, do you want to expel me?" Everly looked at Kieran in disbelief.
Kieran coldly swept a glance at Everly noncommittally.
Everly was a little irritated, "Can't you see that your grandma is framing me? I've been working in
Universal Group for so many years, and I've done so much for the company and you. But you are
going to fire me!"
A cold light flashed in Kieran's eyes. "So what? You create value, and I have given it back to you!"
Everly looked at Kieran without saying anything more. Her eyes instantly turned red and wet. Tears
were ready to fall at any moment.
Madame Charles made a face at Everly and said happily, "Kieran, since you have expelled her, then let
Rachael take over Rich!"
"Alright!" Kieran didn't even look at me and agreed.
I rounded my eyes wide in shock. It meant I would be the CEO of Rich!
I was unemployed a while ago, and I just entered Universal Group and Rich. Overnight, I changed from Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
an ignorant idler to the head of a famous and luxury brand.
"Why are you still standing here polluting my air?" Madame Charles said to Everly arrogantly.
Everly couldn't stand it any longer, and tears suddenly fell down her cheeks. After giving an affectionate
look at Kieran, she ran out with tears.
"Grandma, this seat, I...." I was so scared that I wanted to refuse.
Madame Charles intimately pulled me over. "Don't worry. Isn't it just a small brand? Just have a try. If
you fail, let Kieran give you another brand. Kieran, am I right?"
"Yes!" Kieran didn't even blink.
...
Shock surged through me. I just couldn't believe it. I met Madame Charles’ basic requirements in the
test, and now I got such a powerful backer.
"Alright, alright, what a busy day! Rachael, it's time to get off work. I don't want you to be tired!"
Madame Charles said as she pushed me towards Kieran.
