Jamie paused, and the crowd instantly fell silent, waiting expectantly for what he was gonna say.

The look on his face turned solemn, "I believe that all the guests here know what happened to the Matton Corp a few days ago. It was agonizing to our family. But for the purpose that the Matton Corp could continue to prosper, I have decided to announce my new heir in the presence of all of you tonight, Charlotte Matthews."

As he finished, he turned his head and stretched out his arm to indicate the crowd to look upstairs.

Charlotte had changed into a new light yellow long dress, fluffy curls falling right on her right shoulder, and she even had her makeup fixed too, back to being the pretty Miss Matthews.

Her gentle and elegant smile seemed like she had totally forgotten what had happened over an hour ago.

The guests also applauded accordingly when they saw her.

With the lesson she just learned, Charlotte collected herself and came downstairs at an even pace, slowly walking up to Jamie and giving him a father-daughter hug.

And then, Jamie walked off stage, leaving the place to Charlotte.

Charlotte held the microphone. Under the spotlight, her eyes slightly red, she found it hard to restrain the excitement.

"I would like to thank my mom and dad for giving me this opportunity to do my part for the Matton Corp. I will do my best to learn about the company's affairs and to help the Matton Corp take another big step forward in the future. I would also like to thank everyone for joining me tonight and hope you all can have a great time. "

The guests underneath thought her speech was over so they applauded again.

But Charlotte was just doing a pause and now she went on, with a trace of sheepishness on her face.

"Perhaps many guests here already knew, but I still want to invite everyone publicly. In just a month, I will hold a formal engagement party with the Freeman Group president Mr. Melvin Freeman at the Grand Esther Hotel. I hope you could come to witness our love. "

She said with happiness on her face, looking sweetly towards Melvin, but in the meantime she cast a glance at Lyra's direction out of the corner of her eye.

Cody listened and also subconsciously turned his head to look at Lyra next to him.

Her face was simply expressionless; she was leisurely tasting a glass of red wine.

Cody was still a little worried and he comforted her, "Lyra, this scum has only been divorced not long ago, and now he got engaged so soon. What a bastard. Lucky that you divorced him. And this chick deliberately made such a high-profile announcement in front of everyone. She was clearly provoking you. What a bitch."

Lyra was amused by him and giggled, "You've said it all. What else do I have to say."

The two, laughing and chatting, were clearly seen by Charlotte on stage.
