Chapter 10 Vice president of JK Technologies
Mr. Paul POV:
As I looked at the reports in my hand, I couldn't help but get shocked.
Anya is the vice president of JK Technologies... How can this be possible?
"I was vice-president of JK technologies in charge of domestic operations. Here are the financial statement for the last three years. I think you all must have heard that JK's profit in this region have increased in last few years." As I was lost deep in my thoughts, Anya's voice pulled my thoughts back to reality.
Hearing her words, everyone in the meeting room had the same expression, shock!
After all, JK Technologies was too well-known in the whole world to ignore any information about it. And to be the vice-president of JK technologies at such a young age, luck was required, but it was not gonna happen without abilities. "Wait, a minute! You can't be the famous Miss Walter of JK Technologies, can you?" I could not help but ask in shock.
Anya smiled confidently at me and replied, "Yes, that's me."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was too astonished to say anything.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Even, Evan was surprised.
However, who can blame everyone for reacting like this?
After all, Miss Walter of JK Technologies was a rising star in the business world in the last two years. It was said that Miss Walter and her team made JK Technology's domestic sales grow 55% in just two years.
Who wouldn't like a real genius like that?
Anya was a dual citizen. So, no one ever expected that Miss Walter of JK Technologies was the same Anya who was kicked out of the Cater family four years ago.
"I believe in myself to run the Walter Group. By the way, my team will join the Walter Group with me. Also, I have taken over JK's sole agency in X city. In that next few years the Walter Group won't have to worry about the supply of materials. Moreover, we will be working with JK on new projects together." Anya said.
Hearing that Mr. Patel and I looked at each other as our eyes lit up at once.
"Oh, my, this is... oh, what a surprise. Many have failed to get a sole agency agreement with JK, but Miss Walter got it for us. I just never dreamed that we could work with JK. Well, since... Mr. Karl Walter has chosen a rightful successor, we have no problem with that." The Walter Group has been losing money for years with Frank as Chairman. The Board of Directors had a lot of complaints against him already. Unlike Frank, as soon as Anya returned, she had turned the tables for the Walter Group. Now that with JK on its side, the Walter Group would not have to worry about anything for at least the next few years.
So of course, we had no problem in accepting Anya as the Chairman.
Frank's POV:
Seeing that the position of the Chairman of the Walter Group was about to be snatched away from me, I couldn't sit calmly anymore.
With a livid face, I said, "Anya, you can be the Chairman of the board, I don't have a problem with that. However, I still suggest that you start at the bottom. It's not a bad thing to have more experience. Or, you don't want to start at the bottom. It's fine to start as a department head or a manager... 'But never the chairman,' I thought to myself.
To be honest, I had never liked my eldest daughter at all. Now seeing this, it seemed like not only she was going to destroy the relationship with her sister, but she also wanted to claim the property that belonged to my two sons.
'If Anya became the Chairman, what about me? What about my two sons?'
'I had always valued my son more in the first place. Not to mention the fact that Anya had grown up without me around. There was no bounding between the father and daughter at all. Therefore, I would never want most of the assets to fall into Anya's hands. "Dad, you don't have to say anymore. I'm just following grandpa's wishes. If I can't increase the Walter group's profit by more than 20% in three years while I am in the office, I will resign and stay out of business forever." Anya said stubbornly.
"Mr. Walter, at least give your daughter a chance to give it a try. I support her anyway." Mr. Patel said.
"I don't have a problem with that either." Mr. White also added.
"Anya, you..." I staggered as I kept throwing glances at Evan, begging him silently to say something for me.
However, Evan just sat there still. He said nothing nor took my side.
"Mr. Cater, what do you think?" Suddenly, Mr. Patel looked at Evan and asked.
Hearing that, I also turned to look at Evan, hoping that he would say something in my favor.
However, to my disappointment, he smiled and shrugged, "I... well, I am okay with that."
"You see, even Mr. Cater agreed, let's alone us. Mr. Walter, you should vacate the office for Miss Walter as soon as possible and allow her to take over your work at hand." Mr. White said.
I was completely dumbfounded when I heard that. How could Evan agree to let Anya be the Chairman? I had expected that he would side with me. After all, Evan was his last straw.
I don't want my position as the Chairman of the board to be taken away.
"Good for you Anya, good for you. It seems that all these years I have raised you for nothing. You want to replace your own father? Is there any humanity left in you? Ever since you were a kid, you have been the most rebellious one. Six years ago, you brought shame on the whole family by becoming the joke that everyone in X city know. And now you come back to steal everything from us. Oh, you are such a disgrace."
Seeing that situation getting out of my hands, I started morally blackmailing Anya. My anger went out of control as I pointed my finger at Anya and started swearing.
Whatever the costs, I just want to keep the Walter Group for my two sons.
At that very least, even if I had to hand over the Walter Group to my daughter, I had to hand it over to Tara instead of Anya.
Anya's POV:
I know very well what my father was planning, and to be honest, it's hurt. However, I didn't want to show my weakness, so I put on a poker face on the surface and said, "Dad, I'm just getting my grandfather's inheritance. If you have any complaints, you can talk to my lawyer. Also, I don't want you to be involved in the management of the Walter Group anymore. Money based on the annual profit will be transferred into your private account every year."
