Chapter 170 Choosing the New CEO Yale's POV: 959 Finished After saying goodbye to Caden, I returned to Eclipse Group. As soon as I walked through the door, Donny's assistant stopped me. "Mr. Lowe wants to see you." I knew this moment was coming, so I nodded and said, "Understood." I took the elevator to the 18th floor and headed to the CEO's office.
What used to be Caden's office was now completely taken over by Donny. He was clearly letting his victory get to his head, oblivious to the need for caution.
I gathered my thoughts and took a moment to calm myself before knocking on the door.
"Cin," Donny's voice called from inside the CEO's office.

I feigned hesitation. “I ... haven't made up my mind yet." "What's there to think about?" Donny suddenly stood up and walked toward me. "A wise person knows when to make the right move." I kept my head down, pretending to be conflicted. Donny chuckled and continued his persuasion. "You know the situation, right? Caden's plane crash-there's been no word for days. It's looking grim. And with my adoptive father so ill in the hospital, he toldto take over and manage Eclipse Group in Caden's absence. Right now, there's no one else who can take the CEO position." Donny handeda check. “If you agree to vote forat the press conference, this money is yours, and I'll also promote you to vice president." I took a quick glance at the check-it was for a hundred million.
Impressive. Donny was really going all out to seize control of Eclipse Group.
"Are you serious?" I said, feigning interest, and took the check.
"Absolutely," Donny said with a smile, clearly pleased to seetake the check. "And once it's done, you'll be well rewarded." Rosaline's POV: Two days later, it was the day of Donny's press conference.
It was a bright, sunny day with clear blue skies.
The press conference was scheduled for 2 p.m.
I woke up early and, after getting ready, headed to Caden's room. I found him texting Yale on his phone.
"How's it going?" I walked over and asked with concern.

Now we just wait for Donny's press conference." "That's a relief." I said with a sigh. "When the tcomes, I'll head to the press conference. While he's distracted and let his guard down, you quickly gather a team to rescue Mr. Richard." "Okay." Caden nodded.
At exactly 2 p.m., the press conference started as planned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe conference hall of the Eclipse Group building was surrounded by reporters, packed both inside and outside.
I dressed in disguise ahead of tand blended in with the crowd, finding a spot in an inconspicuous corner of the hall to sit.
Caden and I split up; I cto the press conference to see how things were going, while Caden took a team to the hospital to save Richard.
Soon, the press conference began. Donny, dressed in a suit and looking sharp, walked up to the podium with algroup of people surrounding him and took a seat in the center, looking all smiles. To my surprise, Eleanor followed Donny and sat next to him.
The host cleared his throat, smiling as he said, "Welcome, everyone, to the Eclipse Group press conference. Eclipse Group First, we have Mr. Caden Holbrook's mother, Mrs. Eleanor Holbrook, to say a few words." I was confused. Why was Eleanor speaking at the press conference?
With everyone's eyes on her, Eleanor, wearing a black evening gown and high heels, walked to the center of the stage. She cleared her throat and started, "Good afternoon, everyone. I'm sure many of you have heard the tragic news about my son. Caden was in a plane crash and fell into the sea while returning from Fostrau." "More than half a month has passed, and despite sending out the most capable rescue team, we still have no news of Caden. His status remains unknown-his life or death is still unknown.
"Given the current situation, after continuous discussion within the Eclipse Group board of directors, we have decided to choose a suitable candidate to take on the role of CEO." 206 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
