Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 270

Several senior executives agreed as soon as Zavier said this. Even some of the Solace family’s most respected

elders nodded after a brief moment of thought.

In fact, Christopher had an excellent relationship with the elders of the Solace residence. When he was a child, he

was respectful of the elders. Having grown up as an adorable and smart child, Christopher has enjoyed a good

relationship with them ever since.

Yet, as Zavier pointed out, the more than 200-year history of Solace Corporation couldn’t be disregarded.

Christopher hadn’t grasped the circumstances surrounding Solace Corporation; let alone having the ability and

experience. He couldn’t afford to be Acting Chairman.

Everyone in the meeting room went into frenzy at that moment.

One side strongly disagreed with Christopher being the Acting Chairman and supported Zavier. Another side

believed that Christopher should be given a chance and some time to prove his worth since he resolved the issue at

Solace Corporation Romdale Branch perfectly. On the other hand, another side remained silent throughout the

meeting and did not express any opinion regarding this topic.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Layla pounded on the table a few times and cast a chilly glare around the room. “This is not a market. Get out of

here if you want to fight.”

The large conference room became silent immediately.

Layla’s rank in Solace Corporation was slightly lower than Kendrick’s but was still on par with Zavier and Zaiden.

Although they were in charge of different duties, Kendrick and Layla remained close since they were brother and

sister.

Previously, Layla handled everything crucial when Kendrick was away on business.

As a result, Layla’s deterrence in Solace Corporation remained powerful.

Layla’s eased up slightly. She grinned at Zavier and said, “I’m wondering who the experienced person that you are

referring to is. Why don’t you call them out, and we’ll see whether they’re any better.”

Zavier looked at Layla’s smiling face. He was frozen and could not say anything. After a moment, Zavier replied

slowly, “Can’t we find a more capable and experienced person in Solace Corporation, which has been in operation

for almost 200 years?”

Layla just smiled at him and didn’t answer.

This was a routine that happened practically every day for these past two weeks.

Although Layla and Zavier never openly fought, their tension was so intense that any trigger could start a battle

between them.

Everyone else averted their gaze and remained silent. No matter how often they fought, they were still family. In

contrast to them, as outsiders, if they messed with any of the two, they would be dismissed right away.

Even if they got to remain in the company, they would definitely suffer as a consequence.

However, some were not afraid of the consequences and wanted to try their luck.

A plump executive with black-framed glasses stated, “In my opinion, the second vice-president is an excellent

candidate for the role. He has been with Solace Corporation for over 40 years and is highly familiar with the

company’s operations. Furthermore, everyone is aware of his expertise and experience. There should be no issues

if he leads Solace Corporation in the future.” Zavier was the second vice-president that the executive was referring

to. Zavier, Zaiden, and Layla were all deputy presidents. In order to differentiate between them, Layla was called

Ms. Solace. Meanwhile, Zavier and Zaiden were referred to as the second deputy president and third deputy

president, respectively.

Layla smiled after hearing those words. She looked at Zaiden and the elders of the Solace family with darkened

eyes. “If Zaiden and the other elders are okay with this, I also agree for Zavier to take over as the Acting Chairman

of Solace Corporation.”

The elders of the Solace family remained silent. Yet, they were clearly skeptical of Zavier taking over as the Acting

Chairman of Solace Corporation.

Zavier and Kendrick were not of the same generation. Zachary and his two brothers had been living apart for quite

some time. Kendrick was the head of the Solace family for this generation. Although Zavier had the ability and

experience to take on this role, doing so came with many risks.

After all, most people could not resist the temptation of profits and power.

“Zavier, I know you’ve devoted your entire life to Solace Corporation, but we’re becoming old. We should delegate

our responsibilities to the next generation. Even though Chris lacks both ability and experience, you and I both know

this child is intelligent. There should be no problem as long as we assist him. Additionally, Joyce stated that Chris is

just the Acting Chairman. Solace Corporation will need to rely on them in the future,” Zaiden, who had remained

silent, remarked with a smile.

Hearing this, the family elders came to their senses and thought his remarks were quite sensible. Despite

Christopher’s lack of experience, many tasks could be completed without his presence. Nothing should go wrong as

long as he has someone to guide and assist him.

Richard commented, “Zaiden’s right. As elders, you should assist Chris. We must not violate the ancestral system.”

This was not only a reminder to Zavier, but also to Christopher.

Simon quickly agreed with Richard to make Christopher take over Kendrick’s position temporarily and take care of

Solace Corporation. However, he also emphasized that this was only temporary and that Christopher should not

have any hidden motives. Simon even used the case that happened 20 years ago to warn them.

After most of the elders voiced their opinions, those of Solace Corporation who agreed with Christopher’s

succession as the Acting Chairman followed. Plus Zaiden and his subordinates, in an instant, Zavier and his

subordinates were put at a disadvantage.

Zavier laughed, “You’re all right. It’s my bad for not thinking about this!”

He looked at Christopher and said, “Just tell me if you need any help in the future. I will help you to take care of the

company.”

After a few rounds of debates, the meeting ended with everyone agreeing that Christopher should be appointed as

the Acting Chairman.

Soon after, Layla sent off the elders of the Solace family, and only Solace Corporation staff remained. She

requested that all departments report to Christopher before going through some future work arrangements.

The meeting didn’t end until three o’clock in the afternoon.

After the meeting, Zavier took the lead and left the conference room, followed by a few senior executives.

Zaiden walked up to Christopher and looked at him thoughtfully. With a sigh, he patted him on the shoulder,

“Zachary is in a coma now, and something bad happened to Ken. From now on, the whole family will rely on you.

You must not be as carefree as before, Chris.”

Christopher nodded slightly, “Don’t worry, Uncle Zaiden.”

Zaiden asked about Kendrick’s situation in Nardor again before leaving the. meeting room.

Logan and Jayden, as well as Zaiden’s subordinates, were gathered in Zavier’s office at that moment.

“How can he take over the position as the Acting Chairman?” It was the executive who suggested that Zavier take

over the position in the conference room. “Because he is Mr. Solace’s youngest brother?” he retorted. He slammed

the table and glanced at Zavier, who was sitting in the chair with his eyes closed. “The second vice-president should

take over this position.”
