Chapter 74

"Quickly, Sophia! Kelly Kingston only gave us ten minutes. Amelia grabbed Sophia's hand and hurried her toward the hall.

Earlier, Amelia had persuaded one of the board executives to delay Kelly's departure, convincing her to wait just a few more minutes.

Now, as they entered the hall, Kelly was already preparing to leave.

"Miss Kingston!" Sophia called out urgently.

"My grandmother wanted me to inform you that I've been appointed CEO of Lancaster Group. I'll be handling the partnership with Kingston Group directly. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance."

Kelly turned, "Wel, if you're personally managing Lancaster Group as CEO, then there's no issue. But let me be clear-if anyone else steps in, the deal is off."

"This partnership isn't a game where you can place just anyone in charge without competence." Her gaze shifted sharply toward Amelia and the Lancaster team, a clear warning evident.

"Thank you so much, Miss Kingston," Sophia said sincerely.

It almost felt as though Kingston Group was more supportive of her than her own family.

Kelly smiled softly. "This was actually Mr. Alfred Kingston's idea. We'll fully support you as long as you remain at the helm of Lancaster Group. And if you ever decide to leave, we'd be more than happy to have you as a CEO at one of our companies. Think it over."

Sophia's heart raced with a mix of bewilderment and gratitude. "Thank you for your kindness. I'll do my utmost to ensure our partnership is a success."

Amelia, visibly relieved, quickly added, "I apologize for any earlier misunderstandings. Would it be possible to make a partnership announcement on stage? We'd like everyone in Vancouver to see that our alliance is stronger than ever."

"Not a problem," Kelly replied with a nod. "Please, go ahead."

The master of ceremonies took the cue, promptly announcing that the main event would proceed.

Sophia took a deep breath, steadying herself as the crowd buzzed and the bright lights illuminated the stage.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall shifted instantly. Guests exchanged impressed glances.

Securing a partnership with Kingston was no small feat, and everyone recognized the significance.

As the guests settled back into their seats, Amelia took the stage, holding Sophia's hand firmly.

"I sincerely apologize for any earlier confusion. That was my oversight. Sophia here is the most outstanding member of our Lancaster Group. Thanks to her dedication and hard work, we've secured this wonderful partnership with Kingston. She's truly accomplished something remarkable."
