Chapter 1021
Name: Jared Jupiter
Score: 470
He had scored full marks on every subject except Chanaean.
“We‘ve discovered another genius just like you, Arielle! He‘s your classmate, Jared, from the same pre
paratory class!” Marcus stated excitedly upon noticing her staring at the exam papers.
Marcus valued talents over everything and appreciated talented people
more than fame or material wealth.
“Congratulations, Mr. Brown!” Arielle replied with a faint smile when she saw him beaming with excitem
ent.
Marcus nodded happily, only to shrug and sigh moments later. “It‘s a shame you‘re withdrawing…” he v
oiced.
Arielle simply maintained her smile and kept quiet.
With a principal like this, Jared won‘t have to worry about developing his talents even if he didn‘t make i
t into Maxwell University! I must say, I am rather surprised that he scored full marks on every subject ex
cept Chanaean! I‘ve always known him for being talented and smart, but I didn‘t think he‘d get this far.
After completing the withdrawal procedure, Marcus walked Arielle all the way to the campus gate.
The two of them happened to bump into Queenie, who was hailing a cab at the gate.
Both Arielle and Queenie had cold looks in their eyes when they exchanged glances, but the former wa
s filled with indifference, while the latter was filled with hatred.
As the principal was around, Queenie could not really say anything and simply nodded at him before le
aving in her cab.
Thinking Arielle didn‘t know who Queenie was, Marcus gave her a quick introduction. “That is Mr. Baxte
r‘s wife, by the way. They seem to be a really loving couple. She even stayed over in his dormitory last
night!”
Arielle was somewhat surprised to have learned that. “She spent the night in Donovan‘s dorm room?”
Marcus didn‘t mind Arielle addressing Donovan by name. Nodding, he answered, “Yeah. They seemed
pretty awkward with each other the last time I saw them, but I think
they‘ve worked things out now. Quarrels between married couples are common and inevitable, but they
always kiss and make up in the end…”
Realizing he had let the cat out of
the bag, Marcus quickly stopped himself and ended the conversation by saying, “Oops, I shouldn‘t hav
e said that. Anyway, you take care now, Arielle! Feel free to drop by anytime, okay? We could even hire
you as a lecturer if you‘d like!”
“Thank you, Mr. Brown.” Arielle flashed him a smile as she got into the car Sasha had brought around.
Along the way to the office, she kept thinking about what Marcus said earlier and found it hard to believ
e.
Queenie and Donovan being a loving couple? Huh... Oh, well... It‘s good news for me, I suppose. This
way, they won‘t bother messing with me anymore. It‘s always nice to have less trouble to deal with.
She was snapped out of her train of thoughts when Sasha turned around and asked, “Where to, Ms. M
oore?”
“Southall Group.”
“Right away.”
As Sasha was a really skilled driver, it didn‘t take long before their car was parked in front of the Southa
ll Group office building.
Although Arielle had sent a text in the group chat summoning all higher–
ups of Southall Group for a meeting,
only a few of them were present when she entered the conference room.
Oliver and Jacob were nowhere in sight, but that didn‘t surprise Arielle in the slightest
As she calmly walked toward the front of the table, a middle aged man who was balding like Oliver stoo
d up and uttered with a smile, “Sorry, Ms Moore Most of the directors are either busy or outstation at th
e
moment. Your message came a little too suddenly, so only a few of us are able to attend this meeting.”
Staring at the balding man, Arielle called out to him with an expressionless look on her face,
“Madam Chairman
“What?” The balding man was confused.
Arielle narrowed her eyes and replied in an icy voice, “I‘ve mentioned this before. You are to address m
e as ‘Madam Chairman.”
The look on the balding man‘s face tensed up instantly upon hearing that.
He wanted to burst out laughing at her but found himself unable to say a word in the
face of her domineering aura
After a long moment of silence, the balding man was finally able to regain his composure and forced th
e words out of his mouth. “M–Madam Chairman…”
Arielle nodded and clasped her hands together as she eyed everyone at the table.
“It‘s fine if we don‘t have everyone in
attendance today. I‘m just here to inform you all that Southall Group will be renamed to Moore Group st
arting today. I‘ll get the paperwork done at the bank in a bit. All right, that will be all. Meeting dismissed!
”
The balding man leaped to his feet and protested, “Ms. Moore… I mean, Madam Chairman, how could
you just change the company‘s name like that? Mr. Campbell isn‘t even here today.”
Okay, this guy is one of Jacob‘s lackeys, I see.
“I’ve already informed everyone in the group chat, so him being absent is none of my
concern,” Arielle stated calmly as she stood up.
“Even so, we still have to discuss this with the other directors.”
“It‘s just a name change. As chairperson of
this company, I can make that decision without discussing it with all of you.”
Arielle‘s eyes were filled with so much disdain that the man began sweating anxiously.
“Y–You…”
“That‘s enough. I‘m going to take a look at the Al technology department so you guys can get back to wo
The balding man wanted to go after her, but Sasha blocked his path at the door.
He tried to force his way past her out of desperation, only to have Sasha slam him against the floor with
“This is for your medical fees,” she
muttered while tossing a check at him before catching up to Arielle outside.
“Outrageous! Simply outrageous!” the balding man shouted, prompting the others in the conference roo
They had
seen plenty of deception and manipulation in power struggles, but Arielle was the first to use such a dire
It was so shocking and unusual that they could not even tell if she was naïve or simply plain stupid.
I‘ve never been humiliated like this in my entire life! Just you wait, Arielle. I‘ll be sure to get my revenge o
With that thought in mind, the bald man felt a little better about himself and called Jacob after leaving the
room.
“Mr. Campbell, that girl showed up today, claiming she‘s going to rename the company as Moore Group
