Chapter 4
The previous day, Katherine’s grandfather, Yandel Larson, had organized a family dinner when he
returned to the Larson residence in Dellmoor.
He said that it was to welcome Katherine back to the Larson family.
In truth, it was to announce Katherine as the successor of Larson Corporation.
Yandel had four sons – Cameron Larson, William Larson, Kenneth Larson, and Dominic Larson.
Cameron was the eldest among them and was Katherine’s father. Yandel had also raised him to be his
successor.
However, when Cameron and his wife heard that there was news of Katherine, they drove tirelessly
overnight to meet her. Unfortunately, they met with a car accident on the highway and could not be
rescued in time.
This incident was a huge blow to Yandel, who could not bear to part with his son, the one whom he
valued the most nevertheless.
Out of his three other sons, only William had some talent in the field of business. However, he was very
selfish and only cared about his personal interests.
Handing Larson Corporation to him would inevitably result in its downfall.
Kenneth was always uninterested in the family business and was unambitious. He loved to engage in
academic research and was a professor at a prestigious university.
Dominic was the youngest and was used to being lazy. Although he had a position in the company,
everyone was used to him simply idling about.
Yandel was grief–stricken after Cameron’s death and wanted to help the latter fulfill his unfulfilled wish.
He mobilized all of the Larson family’s resources and finally managed to find Katherine.
Fortunately, Katherine had inherited Cameron’s business acumen. She had a keen sense of financial
investment and business management.
However, her mind was filled with Christopher, and she refused to return to the Larson. residence.
Yandel agreed to let her stay in Norham on the condition that she underwent training to become a CEO
and completed relevant courses.
Katherine did not disappoint him. She was born to be an entrepreneur.
Yandel felt that they had already wasted one year’s worth of time.
Hence, Katherine was told to take office the moment she returned.
Compared to the humble Katherine Xander, she decided that she liked this identity ast Kimberly Larson
better.
She instructed Vincent to remove all traces of herself in Norham. She was going to start
over.
The next day, at Larson Corporation’s headquarters, which was located in the heart of Dellmoor’s
business district, the entire company was in chaos,
They had just received news that the new CEO would arrive today. It was completely unexpected, as
there had been no news of it before.
Unlike in the past, the whole building seemed to have regained its vitality and finally had the look of a
fast–paced international metropolis. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The employees hurried to the office the moment they stepped into the building.
The executives waited in the lobby on the first floor for their new CEO to arrive.
The various departments were in a frenzy as everyone discussed the matter enthusiastically.
“Who exactly is the new CEO? They’re coming so suddenly. How could there have been no news
about it before?”
“It seems like the management was just informed about it. I don’t think they knew anything before
today. However, the CEO is definitely not an ordinary person.”
“It doesn’t matter who it is as long as it is not William. Such a selfish person should have been replaced
a long time ago.”
“Haha! I want it to be a handsome man, preferably one who’s very domineering”
“You’re usually the unluckiest among us. Since you wished for a handsome man, maybe. we’ll be
getting a female demon instead!”
“Everyone, stop talking. Real–time news! The CEO just arrived.”
Everyone returned to their workstations at once.
In truth, no one was in the mood to work. All of them were curious and nervous and could only think,
“Just how remarkable is this mysterious CEO?”

A red Porsche stopped at the entrance of the headquarters building. The deputy CEO stepped forward
to open the door, and Kimberly got out of the car.
First, heels that were 10 centimeters tall landed on the ground, and then a woman clad. in a red suit
emerged from the car. She had chestnut brown curls that were styled fashionably.
Everyone held their breaths. The new CEO was a woman and a very beautiful woman at that.
After that, Kimberly got into the elevator, surrounded by the executives.
She looked around and asked the deputy CEO, “Where are Uncle William and Uncle Dominic?”
The deputy CEO, Frederick Porter, stepped forward and said respectfully, “They’re here, Ms. Larson.
They are waiting in the office.”
In the conference room, William was seated with several directors. He had no choice but to give up the
position as CEO.
On this day, he had to welcome his eldest niece to take the position despite his frustration.
He glanced at his watch anxiously, then turned to the female secretary beside him. “Go and take a
look. Why isn’t she here yet?”
Dominic had a laid–back and carefree personality. He loved to add fuel to the fire at such moments.
“Why are you so anxious, Will? As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean. That little girl is
walking on clouds now. She has to put on airs.”
It did not matter to him who became the CEO.
He was actually happy that William was replaced and someone else was taking charge of Larson
Corporation.
Obviously, he knew very clearly what William was like.
Although Dominic had no intentions of becoming the CEO, he did not wish Larson Corporation to get
destroyed.
For the past few years, when William helmed Larson Corporation, the company had. stagnated.
In this era, the competition was fierce. Standing still was akin to falling behind.
O
However, William had gained many benefits for himself.
Compared to letting such a person lead the company, it was better to let someone. capable take the
helm so that everyone could benefit.
Under Frederick’s guidance, Kimberly came into the conference room and took the chairman’s scat.
The directors were not easy to deal with. They were on William’s side and in the same boat as him.
Before the meeting, they had agreed that they could not allow an inexperienced young girl to take
office. They had to assert their dominance.
Kimberly seemed to have read their minds. She got straight to the point and addressed the directors
who were all there with hidden motives.
“Everyone seated here is essential to Larson Corporation. The company’s future development depends
on all of you. Although I’m a junior, I will do my best to manage the company with everyone now that
myer has passed the baton to me. In short, as long as everyone does their jobs well. I w give you what
you deserve. I have. always been an impartial person. If I find out that anyone isn’t faithful to the
company or is a freeloader, then that person will have to pack up and leave.”
The moment she took office, she gave all the cumming foxes reassurance and a warning at the same
time.
Meanwhile, in Norham, Christopher finally remembered that he had to go to City Hall with Katherine to
get a divorce,
However, she did not answer her phone. He had called her at least ten times.
He was furious. “What’s the use of keeping you around? A living person can’t disappear just like that!
Why can’t you find any traces of her?”
The person on the other end of the phone was trembling he heard hist
in fear when CEO fly into a rage.
He found it strange too. He had checked the surrounding surveillance cameras but did not find any
traces of Katherine. It was as though she had vanished.
