Chapter 114 The Heir
As soon as Ulysses finished speaking, the room fell silent as if struck by lightning; the shock was sudden and intense!
Meanwhile, outside the venue, on every visible building, the giant electronic screens instantly displayed a photo of Natalie. Without exception, anyone in the city who looked up could see this scene.
Clearly, a lot of money was spent on this, but the Clark family wanted everyone to know that Natalie's value was incomparable!
Everyone present showed expressions of disbelief, especially Blair, who was standing in front. His face turned as white as a sheet, and his eyes were dark and astonished.
Gabriel stood there, looking shocked, his expression complex and doubtful.
Angela and Wendy needed to be more composed. Wendy broke the silence in the room, her voice tense and excited. "Impossible, she's just a penniless orphan!"
"Shut up!" Blair scolded angrily with a stern face.
Ulysses had personally confirmed it. How could it be false?
Ignoring Wendy's outburst, Ulysses continued to drop another piece of shocking news. "Here, I announce that all my shares in Clark Group will be transferred to Natalie. Natalie will become the actual controlling shareholder of Clark Group and my designated heir."
In an instant, Natalie's status was completely transformed. She was not only Ulysses' daughter but also the heir to Clark Group.
She went from being scorned as a gold-digger and mocked for dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family to becoming a true heiress!
Her status was now incredibly prestigious!
The room erupted like a boiling pot. Even the media reporters wouldn't miss this historic moment.
Just as everyone was still processing this fact, Victor walked over to Ulysses and nodded. Victor said, "Ladies and gentlemen."
The crowd fell silent. Without a doubt, Victor was considered the de facto head of Clark Group.
In the industry, his words carried significant weight, naturally.
Victor smiled, his expression calm, with a hint of affection. "To welcome my sister Natalie home, I will transfer ten percent of my shares to her. Natalie, as the largest shareholder holding seventy-one percent of Clark Group's shares, will move from the position of Vice President to President of Clark Group. As her brother, I will always firmly support any decision Natalie makes. I believe, like me, everyone looks forward to the future Natalie will lead us to create."
Victor's words were like a bomb dropped into everyone's hearts; the leadership of Clark Group had just changed hands?
No fights, no family scandals, no messy power struggles.
Natalie stood calmly, but inside, she was a bit stunned. Victor hadn't mentioned transferring shares to her beforehand; it was too sudden. How did Clark Group suddenly fall into her lap?
It felt like a mountain of gold suddenly belonged to her, leaving her quite bewildered.
After a moment of silence, the room erupted into enthusiastic applause.
People applauded for Natalie's return and Victor's generous and bold gesture.
After the applause, a reporter couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Clark, how do you view the online slander against you? Does your divorce from Mr. Kensington mean a break between the Clark family and the Kensington family?"
The reporter wanted to take advantage of this chance; waiting for a press conference might mean losing the scoop.
Gabriel's dark eyes instantly narrowed. He lifted his head to gaze intently at Natalie, who was standing above with a radiant face.
Natalie didn't dodge, looking directly at the reporter with a straightforward gaze and a slight smile.
She said, "Allow me to answer the second question first. When I married Mr. Kensington, I concealed my identity. It was not a business marriage and did not represent the Clark family's stance. Honestly, this failed marriage was a result of my youthful impulsiveness. I accept the failure of the marriage; the divorce is to correct the path for the future. As for the slander against me."
Natalie curled her lips in disdain, her gaze sweeping towards Blair and Gabriel, raising an eyebrow.
She added, "I think if I had revealed my true identity earlier, perhaps I wouldn't have faced such baseless accusations. But I am also grateful to be Ulysses' daughter, able to stand here and clear everything up. If it were an ordinary person, it would really be..."
