The shareholders’ meeting was just a formality. It was a fact that the chairman of the Young Group
would be replaced, and no one could change that.
Yayoi didn't want to be the chairman. She only wanted to be proud in front of Candance and Vito.
After the shareholders’ meeting, Candance's face became extremely ugly. If Candance's gaze could
kill, Yayoi felt that she would have already been torn into pieces.
Candance indeed hated her. However, she could do nothing about it. Yayoi felt especially pleased.
After the shareholders’ meeting, Yayoi and Maddox walked out of the meeting room hand in hand.
Yayoi was smiling all the time.
“Are you in a good mood?" Maddox asked softly.
Yayoi replied, "Yes, I'm so happy to see Candance angry. She's always so arrogant, but every dog has
its day."
Maddox smiled, "Keep in the good mood then."
"Yes." Yayoi nodded heavily, "I will definitely keep it.”
Maddox raised his hand and gently rubbed her soft hair. Then, he held her hand and walked towards
the elevator.
“Cheers!”
The clink of the glasses and the cheerful melody of the music all showed that the people in the room
were feeling good.
Juliet raised her head and drank up the wine in the cup. She smiled contentedly and said to Yayoi, who
was sipping her wine, "Yayoi, you really have come to the end of your tribulations.”
Juliet could almost imagine how ugly Candance's face was at that time. She felt so good just thinking
about it. She wished that she could be there as well, so that she could also kick Candace when she
was down. In that way, maybe Candance would finally understand how serious the consequences of
bullying Yayoi were.
Yayoi smiled shyly and glanced at Maddox beside her. "Actually, this is all thanks to Maddox."
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but chuckle. Yayoi felt even more embarrassed. "Alright,
I'm telling the truth. What are you laughing at?"
Rosiley picked up the wine on the table and filled her own glass. Then, she lifted it up and smiled
gratefully at Maddox, saying, "Thank you, Maddox."
Seeing this, Juliet hurriedly filled her cup and raised the glass to Maddox, "Maddox, thank you."
Looking at them, Maddox smiled. "Yayoi is my girlfriend. It is my responsibility to do all this for her."
"Yayoi is our best friend. We should thank you for helping her,’ Juliet said. Then, she exchanged
glances with Rosiley and continued, "Let's drink a toast. Maddox, be our guest.”
Rosiley and Juliet raised their heads and drank a full glass of wine at the same time.
"You two better not take this opportunity to drink too much.” Seeing how heroic they were, Yayoi
frowned.
Hearing her words, Juliet couldn't help but roll her eyes, saying, "Yayoi, it's fortunate that you are our
good friend. We were merely thanking your boyfriend, but why did it seem so purposeful to you?"
Yayoi shrugged, “I was afraid that you would drink too much. How should I explain to your boyfriends
then?"
Your boyfriends?
Juliet raised her eyebrows. She liked the word.
Speaking of their boyfriends, Yayoi looked at the door of the private room and frowned. "When will Mr.
Sachin and Mr. Payton arrive?"
"I don't know. Maybe later." Rosiley also looked at the door and then sat down. "Leave them alone.
Let's enjoy ourselves first.”
After about an hour, Sachin and Payton finally arrived. They brought another person here.
"Hi!" As soon as that person entered the private room, she greeted Rosiley and the others warmly.
Rosiley raised her eyebrows. Why did they bring Charlotte here?
Sachin seemed to have read her doubts. He walked over to Rosiley and said in a calm voice,
"Charlotte pestered us to bring her here, so we did."
Originally, it was a gathering of the six of them. But now, it was even inconvenient for them to speak
with a stranger around.
Both Rosiley and Juliet thought so.
Although Payton had promised Juliet repeatedly that he would not fall for Charlotte, Juliet was still
uncomfortable. When she saw Charlotte, the smile on her face faded a little and her eyes became cold.
“Who is she?" Yayoi looked at Charlotte doubtfully. Charlotte was a complete stranger to her.
“Charlotte is my brothers’ younger sister,’ Maddox, who was beside her, explained.
Maddox had just finished explaining when he saw Charlotte running towards him. She hugged him and
said, "Brother Maddox, long time no see!"
Charlotte's voice was very excited.
Yayoi was slightly surprised. It turned out that Maddox also knew her.
Afterwards, Yayoi felt that she was simply making too much of a fuss. Charlotte was Mr. Sachin's
younger sister, how could Maddox not know her?
Seeing Charlotte's actions, Juliet frowned. Charlotte really liked to call other people her “brother”.
Brother Sachin, Brother Maddox... How many brothers did she have?
Did she suppose that it would make her cuter when she called everyone her "brother"?
Thinking of this, Juliet felt so disgusted that she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Charlotte.
"It's been a long time, Charlotte." Maddox smiled tenderly and then gently pushed Charlotte away.
Charlotte smiled brightly and then said something half true and half false, "Brother Maddox, the person
I missed the most abroad was you."
Maddox laughed, "Is that so? I was the one you missed the most?"
"Don't believe her words. She said the same thing when she saw Allen,” Payton said from the side.
“Brother Payton!" Charlotte glared at Payton discontentedly, pouting and complaining, "Why are you
cutting the ground from under my feet? I don't like you anymore.”
Payton blinked a few times and said innocently, "I suppose that I'm being too honest?"
As soon as these words were spoken, other than Juliet, the others couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Charlotte stomped her foot and said angrily, "I don't want to talk to you anymore."
She turned around and saw that Juliet did not laugh, so she walked over and sat down beside Juliet.
Juliet frowned. She did not understand why Charlotte would sit beside her.
Charlotte hugged Juliet's arm intimately and tilted her head to look at her, "Sister Charlotte, how kind of
you! You didn't make fun of me.”
Her voice was a little delicate and pretentious. Juliet couldn't help but shiver, and then she gave a
hollow laugh and said, “Is that so?"
"I didn't make fun of you simply because I didn't want to pay attention to you,’ Juliet spoke to herself.
Although Charlotte was an unexpected guest, people in the private room were still hyped up. However,
no one mentioned the matter concerning Yayoi anymore. They purely had fun.
Charlotte was a sweet talker. Her words amused everyone—well, everyone except Juliet.
Juliet still didn't like Charlotte, especially when Charlotte introduced herself to Yayoi.
"I was Brother Sachin's blind date,” Charlotte said.
If she wasn't mistaken, when Charlotte said those words, she landed her glance on Rosiley from time
to time—either intentionally or not.
Juliet could not help but start to suspect that Charlotte wasn't as simple as she seemed.
