Chapter 331 - Madam Hilda Shen\'s Birthday Party (Eleven)

Hailey smiled awkwardly at Sol. Suddenly, she got nervous when the older lady gave her a confused look. Understandably, Sol is curious about what she wants to say.

"I think Vincent and I should accept this interview," she stated after a short thought.

"Really?" The older lady\'s eyes shine.

Sol got excited to hear this. Finally, she could watch her daughter do an interview. She once wanted to be a journalist, and she is happy that her daughter, Jessa, became a host in a famous international Talk Show here in Asia. It was like that her dreams also came true through her daughter.

"That sounds exciting."

"Yes, Aunt Sol. But first, I have to consult dad and my PR to discuss it. There are many sensitive parts in our lives, both me and Vincent. So it will be a closed-door sit down with Jessa\'s team and her boss."

"I see. People once named you the Mistress. And so, Jessa must be careful with the questions she will ask you and Vincent."

"I don\'t mind, Aunt Sol." Because I am the only one who knows the truth back then about Eva\'s kind of woman, Vincent should not have a bad reputation, and it is time to clean that up.

Now she understood why Shun wanted this interview. People must hear the real story from their side.

Hailee\'s train of thought stops after Sol speaks again.

"Then, I would love to stay in Metro City for another week or two…." Sol glanced at her private nurse, who clapped her hands from happiness.

Judy was happy that she could also stay longer in the capital city. It\'s not that she hated living on the island, but it\'s rare for them to come here, and so it excites so much that her Madam Sol is willing to stay longer.

It was actually the first time her madam voluntarily wanted to stay longer in the city. And so, she is a little emotional with the big progress that her madam is showing lately.

Meanwhile...

"Dad?" Vincent calls out, approaching Jacob and Fred. Immediately, his father-in-law smiled at him.

"Come on, Vincent!" Jacob patted Vincent\'s back. "I believe these gentlemen came up with a really perfect project."

"What is it, Dad?" he asked curiously.

Jacob explained, "We\'ve discussed setting a meeting sometime next month. However, since you are now in training with me, could you handle this matter instead?"

After saying this, Jacob turned his head to the men in front of them. He told them,

"Soon, Vincent will be the new CEO of Davies Corporation. After the wedding, he will learn everything he needs to know about how I run the company." Jacob paused for a moment to look at Vincent. "I have huge faith in Vincent… With new ideas and direction, Davies Corporation is in good hands."

The investors of Shen Group and Lopez Corporation shared a knowing look. The moment Jacob mentioned Vincent was appointed to be the next CEO, their heart leaped in joy.

Vincent\'s new role is an advantage to them. They have been business partners for so many years, and having him by their side means more prosperity through getting an investment from Davies Corporation.

These gentlemen\'s smiles widened while looking at Vincent. They congratulated him and said a lot of pleasant words.

"Congratulations, Vincent! You deserve this position!"

"Mr. Davies, you chose a perfect man! We have known Vincent ever since he was a kid, and you can assure that he is capable of running a business even as giant as Davies Corporation."

"I second that! Look at how prosperous Metro City is now?" someone echoed.

"Not only this city, but it\'s the entire country! His ideas are actually constructive for the rapid group of P Country!" another one chimed in.

"Vincent was like an emperor! Ruling an empire is a piece of cake for him!"

Vincent thinks they were exaggerating to impress his father-in-law. He could only smile faintly at these older men and just ignored their overpraises.

But as these compliments said in front of his father-in-law. It cannot help that he flustered once in a while. Somehow, it feels proud that he had these achievements to boast to his in-laws, especially a magnanimous businessman like Jacob Davies.

On the other hand, Jacob was pleased with what he heard. May his head kept nodding as he was delighted. He believes Vincent performed very well in the passing years.

As a father-in-law, he is very proud as well. He has high expectations of Vincent that he will impress the Davies Corporation business partners, and with these praises, he ultimately believes that people would see Vincent\'s efficiency.

Fred, who was only listening on the side, was very proud of his son, and he could not stop himself from—somehow patting himself as a father who gives more time to teach his son how to run a business than giving him the life of a typical teenager.

Other fathers would teach their teenage sons how to play a sport. But Fred brought Vincent to play golf instead of learning how to pursue a client or impress a potential investor.

Somehow, his being too strict with Vincent helps his son to achieve such success.

However, Vincent is not that happy as his maternal father and father-in-law.

The first thing he wanted to avoid with his new role is that people think they can do whatever they plan because of their past partnership.

The battle that he will face soon is an unimaginable hardship. He has to prove to everyone that he is not just Jacob\'s son-in-law but is competent to handle the Davies Corporation\'s affairs in the business world.

He is efficient, and it\'s something he must prove to every Davies Corporation employee, especially to the Board and stakeholders.

After that, Vincent excuses himself to get something to drink. Zaijan, Rodney, and Tyler followed him later to the bar area.

"You are pissed…." Tyler commented.

Rodney nudged his shoulder, but Tyler just raised an eyebrow at the guy. He is the oldest among them, so he was used to giving the word first.

"Let\'s go sit over there." Zaijan tilted his head toward an empty table. "Rodney asked the waiter to send drinks over."

The cousins walked toward the table and sat down on the crescent sofa. Not long after, their other cousins join them. After bottles of wine, whisky, brandy, and vodka were served, they chose their drink and clank of glasses heard after.

"Cheers!"

Fifteen men now occupied the table. All are Vincent\'s cousins.
