Chapter 949
Adler, with a sly grin, said, "Remember when he'd ignore me if I asked for a document? Now, his wife tells him to manage the company, and he's all in!" "Well, they are married, after all."
Jenna then turned to Colby, "Hey Colby, Grandpa's still not done planning the wedding. He insists on having the ceremony first, then the registration. He wants it to be grand. That's how the Costello family shows its respect."
Colby sighed, "I just want to get the registration over with. He needs to hurry up, or I'll take over the wedding planning myself."
"No way! Grandpa's been looking forward to this. If you take it away from him, he might throw a fit in public, and he's seventy! You really wanna risk that?"
Colby felt a headache coming on. He shouldn't have let Grandpa handle the wedding plans in the first place. Now, the wedding plans were holding up the registration.
Sophie reassured him, "Relax. We've got a lot on our plate right now. Do you really think we won't make it to the wedding day?"
"It's different. I'll handle it myself and make sure you have the wedding of the century."
Sophie's face lit up with a smile at Colby's words.
The romantic atmosphere between them, as if surrounded by floating pink bubbles, was too much for Jenna. She finally said, "Should we leave you two lovebirds alone?" Just then, a knock came from the office door. "It's me, can I come in?"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Recognizing Julian's voice, Sophie replied, "Come in."
Julian entered, followed by Booker.
The Julian standing before them now was a far cry from the trainee he was a few months back. He radiated a mature and seasoned demeanor.
Seeing the room full of people, Julian hesitated, "Uh... did I come at a bad time?"
Adler quickly raised his hand, "Oh,
that's on me. invited them. Wasn't invi
the Cloude family always under Ricardo's thumb? But after he signed off on a massive debt. couldn't repay, the board voted him out. Now, Julian here is the new CEO of the Cloude family. Plus, we've got a long-term partnership with them now. We've gone from foes to friends, turning the tide!"
Previously, the Cloude family and S Corporation were at each other's throats. But Sophie had played her cards right, replacing Ricardo with Julian.
Julian turned to Sophie, "I owe it all to you. Without your training, I couldn't have taken over the Cloude family so quickly."
Jenna, puzzled, asked, "But didn't
you always want to be famous? And
now you're a top-tier celebrity. Are
you really giving that up to run the Cloude family?"
Julian paused before answering, "Ms. Sophie was right. Being a star, constantly in the spotlight, just makes you a moneymaking tool for others. You're forced to do things you don't want to do, take jobs you don't want. But by becoming a major player, I can clean up the industry. I want to be in control, to make a change and fix the chaos in this business."
