The light from the corridor came through and the woman who gradually walked over was enveloped in a soft sheath of light.
Joyce’s makeup was exquisite and impeccable. Her long and wavy hair draped behind her ears, making her look like an effortless beauty.
She wore a world-class collector’s series light gray diamond-inlaid dress that outlined her slender waist perfectly. Iter dazzling pink diamond necklace( e that shone so brightly under the spotlight was visibly expensive. It even elevated her temperament to the next level.
Joyce walked onto the stage calmly with a bright and confident gaze. The corners of her lips hooked up into a faint arc and made her seem so aloof and glamorous.
She gently lifted the hem of her gown, showing off her exquisite stilettos as she walked up in style.
Finally, she stood beside Floyd Powell without the slightest fear or nervousness. She looked so prim and proper, like a completely different person from the rumors on the internet.
Countless cameras started flashing the moment Joyce appeared on stage. They were afraid to miss a single shot of such breathtaking beauty!
The crowd audibly gasped and secretly speculated why Joyce would appear in such a grand fashion.
Most importantly, this woman’s arrival was so bright and eye-catching that no one could look away from her!
Floyd smiled and was very satisfied to see his daughter shining so brightly in the spotlight. This was the only way Joyce should make her formal debut in the gentry circle.
After a few seconds of silence, Floyd looked at the crowd below and said in a resounding voice, “Her last name is
Powell, the same Powell as Powell
Corporation and Floyd Powell. She’s the apple of my eye and my precious darling daughter, Joyce Powell!”
Once Floyd Powell’s words fell, the venue was deadly silent. Everyone was just so shocked as if a bomb had dropped o n them from out of nowhere.
At the same time, the congratulatory words on the huge digital screens on all the buildings outside that could be seen from inside the venue were instantly replaced with Joyce’s picture. Everyone i n the entire city could see Joyce’s picture as long as they looked up at those buildings.
The Powell family wanted everyone in the world to know that Joyce Powell’s value was unparalleled.
Everyone present looked incredulous, especially Old Master Beckett, who was standing in the forefront. His face was stiff for a moment with an obscure astonishment.
Tristan Beckett also stood there shocked with complex bewilderment.
Ingrid and Quinn Beckett were not as calm as the Beckett men. Quinn broke the silence in the venue with her tense and shrill voice as she shouted, ”
Impossible! She’s clearly an orphan with no money and background!”
“Shut up!” Old Master Beckett rebuked her with a dark and sullen face.
How could it be fake if Floyd Powell admitted it himself to the public?
Floyd Powell ignored Quinn’s outburst and continued to drop another bomb on the crowd. “Now, I’d like to announce that all of my shares in Powell
Corporation will be transferred to Joyce Joyce will become the person in command of Powell Corporation and my designated successor.”
Boom!
In an instant, Joyce’s identity was completely turned upside down. Not only was she Floyd Powell’s daughter, but she was also the heiress of Powell
Corporation.
From a woman who was berated and mocked for being a gold digger and wanting to marry into a rich family, she had sprung to become a true billionaire heiress!
Her status was beyond valuable.
The venue was suddenly abuzz, even the media reporters refused to let go of this historic moment.
Before everyone could finish digesting this shocking fact, Grant Powell, who was on the side, walked up to his father and nodded.
“Everyone…”
The crowd fell silent In an instant. Grant
Powell on was still recognized as the person in charge of Powell Corporation.
In the industry, his words were p and carried substantial weight.
Grant had a calm and doting smile on his face as he looked at Joyce.
“To welcome my sister back home, I will transfer ten percent of my shares in
Powell Corporation to her. Now, as the largest shareholder owning 71% of
Powell Corporation’s shares, Joyce
Powell will directly assume the position of CEO to Powell Corporation from her current position as Vice President.
As her older brother, I will always firmly support any decision Joyce makes. I believe that everyone, like me, is looking forward to the future Joyce will lead us into.”
Once Grant Powell finished his speech, the crowd felt like another bomb had been dropped on them. ‘The person in command of Powell Corporation changed just like that? No fighting, no gossip, no messy disputes…’
Joyce stood on the side looking calm, but she still felt taken aback In her heart.
Grant had never mentioned that he would l giving her a portion of his shares, so t his all seemed too sudden. The entire
Powell Corporation landed on her rf shoulders just like that.
It felt like a mountain of gold landed right in front of her. It was so huge that she could not even see the top when she looked up.
After the silence, thunderous applause reverberated in the hall. The crowd was cheering for the return of Joyce Powell a s well as Grant Powell’s munificence.
When the applause died down, a reporter a t the venue could not resist asking a question. “Ms. Powell, how do you feel about the slanderous rumors about you on the internet? May I ask if your divorce from Mr. Tristan Beckett means a break between Powell Corporation and Beckett Corporation?”
The reporter seized the moment and did not want to wait for the press conference later because he might lose this first opportunity.
Tristan’s dark eyes instantly constricted. He lifted his head and locked his gaze onto the radiant and healitiftil woman standing on stage.
Joyce did not dodge the question and looked at the reporter frankly with a faint smile.
“Please allow me to answer your second question first. Back then, I concealed my identity to marry Mr. Beckett, so that marriage was not a business alliance and did not represent Powell Corporation’s stance. To be precise, this failed marriage is due to my youthful moment of impulsiveness. My foolish mistakes of the past are mine to bear alone, and I fully accept the failure of this marriage. This divorce is for me to move on to the correct path for the future.
As for those slandering rumors…”
Joyce disdainfully hooked the corners of her lips as she swept a glance at Old
Master Beckett and Tristan Beckett. She raised her eyebrows and continued, ”
Perhaps if I had informed them of my real identity sooner, there wouldn’t have been such a farce for the past few days. I am Joyce disdainfully hooked the corners of her lips as she swept a glance at Old
Master Beckett and Tristan Beckett. She raised her eyebrows and continued, ”
Perhaps if I had informed them of my real identity sooner, there wouldn’t have been such a farce for the past few days.
I am eternally grateful that I am Floyd
Powell’s daughter and can have this opportunity to stand here and clarify everything. Though I can’t say the same if this were to happen to an ordinary person…
Joyce silently curved her lips and did not say another word. Everyone finally understood.
This slanderous farce was created by the Becketts with malicious intent to defame Joyce.
If this happened to an ordinary person, it was simply impossible for them to make a comeback.
With the Beckett family’s power, it was as easy as a snap of a finger to grant an ordinary person a “social death”.
Joyce was not so kind as to hide the Becketts` bad deeds. Since there was such an opportunity, she would of course let the world know how despicable and shameless the Becketts were.
Old Master Beckett stood there trying to conceal the panic and huge sense of regret in his shocked gaze. What was done could not be undone.
No one had expected Joyce to be the heir to
Powell Corporation!
It was no wonder the Becketts could not find any trace of Joyce’s past even when they used their connections when Joyce and Tristan first got married. Thus, they believed her when she said she was an orphan.
The Powell family could conceal her past easily if they wanted to.
This divorce is for her to move on to the correct path for the future?’ When Tristan heard Joyce’s words, his brow furrowed and his eyes were cold. His heart suddenly sank.
`Marrying me was a wrong diversion in her
Lifer’
‘Ms. Powell, does that mean the actual reason for your divorce was because a third party had intervened in your marriage?”
The reporter pursued the question, which reminded everyone about the scandal that ran rampant at the time of their divorce.
Countless sighs and lamentations resounded in the hall.
control over the entire SWI M Corporation, but they were so blind to drive this great opportunity away by themselves!
Standing there, Tristan’s eyes were cold and sunken. His face was taut and he did not dodge the crowd’s prying eyes. His suit did not have a single crease and he was just staring intently at Joyce, who seemed to be glowing under the light.
At that moment, he had a mix of emotions in his heart.
Tristan could still be so calm and steady and maintained his indifferent and reserved expression in this kind of situation. It could be seen that Tristan Beckett had experienced all sorts of big scenes that he was not easily perturbed.
Joyce swept an indifferent glance at him and smiled faintly. “There’s no need to mention unimportant things of the past.
Tonight, I have more surprises for everyone!”
Everyone refocused their gaze on Joyce on stage. Her voice was gentle and clear as she said, “A few days ago, I bought out a live stream online shopping session. I’ve kept some items for my company’s staff as a little meet and greet gift, but there are still a lot of private collectors’ items, bags, necklaces, and watches that aren’t released yet in Mediania. If you’d like, please participate in our raffle over there…”
Everyone gasped. ‘How much money did the Powells actually throw to host this gala?
