As soon as she finished talking, the old woman pointed to Ava. The words that came out from her mouth earlier made each of the audience stunned inside the room. Everyone’s face fell into dullness as if the words that they just heard were a curse at that time.
Even Ava could not believe what she said to her, shocked for several seconds to react, she pointed to herself and said, “Me? Granny, are you kidding, are you…?” she paused, “Grandma, you must be joking? Is that your way to tell a joke with Allen?” She told her with a stiff smile.
“Well, do you think I’ll make fun of such a big thing? Master said that the candidate is you! Mrs. Ava Smith Peterson, everyone! She is the future president of the Smith Group!” The old lady, Bety Smith snorted coldly.
At that time, people reacted to what she said and were convinced that she was telling the truth and not kidding, and she really wanted Ava to be the president of the Smith group!
All of a sudden, the people on the scene were murmuring with different reactions.
“No way! Is it Ava Smith? It’s impossible!”
“Yes, I thought about several people before, but I never thought that she could be the president!”
“Before, she was the least valued, including her father. Now how can she become the president?”
There were a lot of discussions, and everyone was shocked. Allen Peterson was the only one who managed to keep calm. He was not only keeping his aspect in a calm situation but also had a bitter smile on his face.
Ava did not expect that the seat was finally handed over to her! Allen knew about the health of Mr. Jeric Smith. He was very strong. As long as Mr. Smith was willing, even another ten or eight years would not be a problem!
Right at that moment, he was so anxious to choose his successor in order to cope with the current disaster of the Smith Group. On the other side, the person who was selected to deal with the disaster was Ava Smith, but in fact, it was Allen!
Allen sighed in his heart. To be honest, he was not willing to pay attention to such things. Compared with the management of the Smith Group, he hoped to keep the current life state with Ava, and then they gradually cultivate their feelings and finally become a happy couple.
Looking around, Allen also wanted to see her reaction. Her pretty face was filled with an unreadable expression. It took a long time for her to accept the reality.
“It was my grandfather… Grandfather asked me to be the President of Smith Group!” she murmurs a few words, she did not know that her eyes were already misty. She used to be the least valued one in the Smith family because Ava’s father had no ability, so her daughter was always treated coldly.
But at that time, everything seemed to have gone through all kinds of hardships. Mr. Smith gave her the position of president of Smith Group, which was the biggest recognition for her. She cried because of excitement.
Seeing her expression, a trace of resentment in Allen’s heart suddenly disappeared. For the sake of one’s beloved, he will do everything to make her happy. Before that, he thought that she did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Smith family, but it was only at that moment that he found out that she had always wanted to be recognized by them.
In that case, he would help her, not only would he help her get the recognition of the Smith family, but also become the Savior of the Smith family!
She wiped her tears because of happiness, Anna and Lewis who were standing not far away from them could not deny the fact that their eye’s was full of anger.
At first, they all thought that the position for the president of Smith Group would fall on their hands, but what they did not expect was that Ava Smith was on their way and took away what they wanted the most! They didn’t expect that Ava, who they looked down on before, would be in that position.
It was the biggest shame in their life to be defeated by the person they look down on the most. If Lewis and his wife had knives in their hands, they might have rushed to stab Ava.
“Well, do not make any noise! Since the master has announced that Ava is the new president of the group, this matter will be settled in the future. The rest of you should also cooperate with her work.” Old lady Smith announced the controversial news.
She also took out a paper towel from the table and wiped the tears on Ava’s face and said, “My dear Ava, when the time comes that you will be in charge or be the president of Smith group, you must work hard. Do not let your grandfather and I down!”
Ava nodded, her eyes moved, and replied, “Grandma, don’t worry, I will try my best to manage the company well!” Ava was determined by what blessing she received.
All the people at the table are looking at Ava with envy. It was really a carp leaping over the dragon’s gate! The former Ava Smith was nothing in the eyes of the public. Even though she had just obtained the first-class agency rights of Jansen Medical Inc. some time ago, she still could not develop the company in a short time.
But at that time, it was different. Becoming the president of the Smith Group meant that she had become a prominent figure in West Coast City, which was totally different from her previous position.
Although the Smith Group was in a precarious situation at that time. The announcement shocked everyone. After Mrs. Smith announced the end of the banquet, they all left. Even Lewis and Anna left angrily.
Allen and Ava were left behind. Mr. Smith first asked her to go in. It was estimated that he would explain the company’s relevant affairs.
After waiting for her to come out, her pretty face was full of seriousness, obviously understanding the situation of the Smith Group, she felt a heavy pressure.
Allen smiled and went over to pat her shoulder and comfortably said, “Ava, don’t feel pressured. Just work hard. I believe in your strength! You can do anything!”
Unexpectedly, she replied, “Allen, my grandfather said he wanted to see you alone!”
He was stunned, nodded, and walked into Master Smith’s bedroom.
After entering the door, Mr. Smith sat up from the bed. His turbid eyes were full of brilliance. He pretended to be weak before!
In front of Allen, Master Smith could finally put down his disguise and go back to his true self.
Looking at Mr. Smith, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly and asked, “Mr. Smith, who do you think is good enough to handle the company? I know it’s bad for you to hand over the company too soon, but it’s Ava. Isn’t this troublesome for you?”
However, Mr. Smith laughed, “Little kid, now that the Smith Group is in turmoil. I can only find someone who is really capable and loyal to the Smith family to take over. Ava is the best candidate!”
He insisted on his opinion and said, “But she has limited experience after all! You also said that the Smith Group is in a precarious situation. Do you think she can bear such a heavy burden?” Allen sighed.
Master Smith shook his head, “I believe she can. I have sent someone to inspect her before. Her ability is very outstanding in the Smith family, and recently she took care of the agency rights of Jansen Medical Inc., which is enough to prove her ability!”
Allen was silent, but he could not say that the agency rights of Jansen Medical Inc. were actually not taken care of by Ava alone, but operated by Allen behind her back.
“Little man, I know you are very capable, although I still don’t know what your intention is. But I hope you can do your best to help her manage the Smith Group.” Master Smith’s face suddenly became serious.
Allen gave a wry smile. “Sir, are you so relieved of me?”
The old man laughed, asked himself that he seldom read the wrong people in his life. “I don’t know your origin, but you can’t be wrong. If you help her, Ava can certainly manage the company well! Of course, if you have any problems, you can also come to me.” Mr. Smith said with a smile.
Allen nodded, with some helplessness on his face, “Well, sir, if that is what your decision is, I’ll help her. But you also need to help Ava. I’m afraid she does not have enough experience!”
“Don’t worry. I’ll talk to her later. I’ll tell her the situation of the group and then tell her what she should do next.” Mr. Smith said with a smile.
Hearing those, Allen was relieved. If Mr. Smith was behind his back to help her, then there was no problem for Ava to be the president of the Smith Group.
“I look forward to your cooperation, Sir! I need to go.” He told him and turned to leave.
