My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 21

10:52 Mon, 22 Janu‣

After having a satisfying lunch, Kimberly had to return to the company hastily.

It was already Friday, and there was a critical matter she had to take care of in the afternoon.

Ever since she had become Kimberly, it was a luxury for her to even have a peaceful, uninterrupted

lunch.

She had previously been the one who had to wait for others. Now, it was the other way

around.

All this time, she had been the only one going against William.

Dominic always remained as a mere spectator.

Kimberly understood it was his way of survival.

Nonetheless, there was no room to accommodate a freeloader in Larson Corporation. Dominic’s

laziness was not beneficial to the company culture’s development and

establishment.

Besides, it was just what Yandel was concerned about.

Dominic was quite skillful, and he could be a precious asset to Larson Corporation’s development if he

were to train himself.

Judging from every aspect, he was the perfect choice to be assigned as CEO.

Since Kimberly had already gained permission to do so, she naturally had to seize the opportunity and

announce it as soon as possible that afternoon.

Yet, this might be another brewing storm.

While she was on the way back to Larson Corporation, she instructed Frederick to inform the board of

directors about the meeting at 2 p.m. sharp.

Also, she emphasized that her uncle, Dominic, must be present at the meeting.

If the main character of the announcement was not there, then she would have done twice the effort for

half the result.

Some members of the board of directors appeared sleepy before the meeting. They did not seem to be

fully awake after their afternoon nap.

It was another emergency meeting.

Some of them got curious and whispered to each other, hoping to elicit some unknown information from

each other.

Suddenly, the sound of high heels click-clacking could be heard getting closer to the conference room.

The atmosphere in the room turned cold rapidly, and the people who were chatting stopped their

conversations immediately.

Kimberly sat down and scanned around the room. She saw Dominic in the crowd.

With just a glance, she could tell that the person was Dominic, as his unruly yet arrogant look was

distinct among the crowd.

Quickly, she regained her composure and spoke indifferently, attempting not to display any emotion on

her face. “Under everyone’s cooperation and hard work, the preparation for our overseas branch is

almost done. Soon, it will begin its operations.”

She added, “This overseas branch has a symbolic meaning to us, as it is a crucial window for us to

expand Larson Corporation’s market internationally. I believe everyone here understands that a

company’s success depends heavily on the leader.”

After a slight pause, she continued, “With that being said, the person in charge of this overseas branch

is extremely important.”

At that moment, a slight commotion broke out in the conference room.

Whenever there was news about personnel changes in the corporation, everyone would feel unusually

excited or anxious.

Of course, for the people in the organization, it would be as if they were being assigned. to guard the

borders if they were sent overseas,

No one desired the position at all.

Hence, everyone was worried if they would be the chosen one.

“After serious consideration, our company has assigned Dominic to become the CEO of the overseas

branch.”

As soon as they heard the keyword “Dominic,” the rest of the directors immediately switched to

onlooker mode.

Surely, they all had their doubts in mind. However, as long as the chosen ones were not themselves,

they could not care less about finding out the reason behind the decision.

Meanwhile, Dominic was surprised after hearing his name being mentioned.

His heart sk ipped a beat before he instantly regained his senses.

He was always confident that Kimberly would not dare to do anything to him because of his status.

Although he was not too big of a contributor to the company, he was nonetheless still. Yandel’s

youngest son.

Without awaiting his reply, Kimberly’s voice resounded again. “Uncle Dominic, this decision was made

after the company reflected it carefully. Also, it has been approved by Grandpa. We hope you can

prioritize the bigger picture and become an excellent leader for the company. You may say something

now.”

Little did Dominic know that his lifetime reputation would all be ruined by Kimberly on this day. Besides,

she even used Yandel’s name in this situation.

Gritting his teeth on both sides, he replied icily. “The company has many talented employees, and

we’ve always been hiring capable workers only. I feel that this is a careless decision to make, and I’m

not suitable for this position. Kimberly, you’ve just arrived at the company, so there might be a lot of

situations that you still need to get accustomed to.”

To Kimberly’s surprise, Dominic remained composed even when she had crossed his boundaries.

His response was appropriate and respectful.

In the literal sense, not only had he retrieved his pride, but he had also given her a pleasant path to

retreat herself.

Meanwhile, the others who were seated had forgotten their positions on the company’s board of

directors.

Currently, they were simply there to watch the battle of brains and bravery between the uncle and

niece.

Kimberly was calm and collected when facing Dominic’s admonition, as she was well- prepared to

handle him.

“How could you say that about yourself, Uncle Dominic? Everyone here knows you’re our company’s

veteran that has contributed a lot to the growth of our company.”

Quickly, she added, “This isn’t my decision, but the company’s as a whole. We still hope you’ll prioritize

the company’s interests and put away your personal opinions for now. Perhaps when the overseas

branch is on its track, it will bring us great profit. When the time comes, everyone will fight to work

there.”.

The more she seemed nonchalant about the matter, the more Dominic felt unhappy.

He looked around the conference room and saw everyone had an expression of watching a drama

unfold. They were all watching him get humiliated.

In that instant, his face sank as he realized he was on thin ice.

He thought he could get Yandel’s help. Unexpectedly, Kimberly had earned the latter’s support before

this meeting.

After pondering for a moment, he had no choice but to accept her arrangements.

Finally, she suggested everyone express their gratitude to Dominic and congratulate him on his newly

appointed position as the CEO of the overseas branch.

The meeting ended as a round of applause echoed across the conference room.

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone sighed in relief and thought, “Who cares who the CEO is as

long as it’s not ourselves?”

There were even some people who were secretly overjoyed at the outcome. Despite not contributing

much to the company, Dominic had always abused his powers and ordered the employees around

while acting like a tyrannical CEO.

Seeing how his younger brother had gotten into a difficult situation, William finally caught a chance to

fan the flames.

As soon as they exited the conference room, William patted Dominic’s shoulder, and they walked into

the latter’s office together. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

The moment they entered the office, Dominic could no longer hold his anger. He took. off his blazer

and threw it on the ground, then loosened his tie in frustration.

He had never experienced such dismay of being disobeyed in all his life.

However, he could not believe Kimberly would dare assert her dominance against him. and do

whatever she pleased with him.

His rage increased the more he thought about it. Furiously, he landed a kick on the

chair.

Seeing that, William began blabbering about Kimberly’s crimes.

He could not help but feel it was a significant humiliation for letting her walk away

victorious.

Whenever he recalled how she gifted him a counterfeit antique on the day he moved. out from the

Larson residence, he would feel infuriated.

He did not expect Kimberly to be so like his eldest brother, Cameron, who was

O

constantly decisive.

If this went on, he would get into serious trouble when she eventually got too powerful and began

digging deeper into Cameron’s cause of death.

Hence, he must seize the opportunity to enrage Dominic so that they could collaborate. to take

Kimberly down.

That way, he could finally get his revenge and reap the benefits from Dominic.
