Chapter 20\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany went with Diana early in the morning to finalize the share transfer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holding the agreement in her hands, Bethany smiled with satisfaction. \u201cThanks.\u201d From then on, she became the sole majority shareholder of Elysian Hotel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Antonio had just returned from a business trip when he heard that Diana was at the hotel. He pushed the door open and walked in. \u201cDiana, you\u2019re here. Oh, and who is this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s expression was stoic as she introduced them. \u201cDon\u2019t you remember, Antonio? This is my daughter, Beth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany had never been close to Diana, so she wasn\u2019t close with the Reeveses as well. She had only met Antonio once, when\u00a0<\/p>\n
she was seven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Antonio was taken aback. \u201cOh. My, how you\u2019ve grown. Long time no see, Beth. Did you miss your Uncle Antonio?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s brows drew together almost imperceptibly. She hadn\u2019t expected Antonio to become this sleazy after all these years. \u201cMom just transferred the shares to my name, Uncle Antonio. I\u2019ll be joining the company tomorrow. I hope you\u2019ll take good care of me in the future!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression changed drastically. \u201cWhat? Why didn\u2019t you tell me about this, Diana?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana shrugged. \u201cI transferred the shares to Beth, but you\u2019re still in charge. This won\u2019t really change anything for you, Antonio.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this had indeed changed everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He held only 2% of the shares. He had always believed that, in a few years, Diana would transfer all her shares to him. Why else would he have worked so hard to run this hotel?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both his son and daughter\u2013in\u2013law worked there. Bethany\u2019s arrival would only push his family to the sidelines.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany took in his reaction. Her eyes crinkled into little crescents as she said, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Uncle Antonio. I\u2019m new to all this. You\u2019ll still be in charge of the hotel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was well aware that she had to play nice before she could make her move. After all, she was new to the company and couldn\u2019t afford to make Antonio her enemy from the outset. Everything had to be done step by step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Antonio\u2019s expression relaxed a little when he heard that. \u201cAlright then. Still, you really should\u2019ve given me a heads\u2013up, Diana, \u201d he grumbled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana left after completing the paperwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had already signed the share transfer agreement. As Diana\u2019s daughter, Bethany was legally entitled to the inheritance, and there were no tax issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The business registration process would take another 15 working days. The hotel\u2019s legal representative would also be officially changed to Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Antonio brought Bethany to an office. \u201cWhat do you think of this place, Beth?\u201d He deliberately led her to the HR department because he planned to give her a cushy title as HR Director.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s fine,\u201d Bethany responded, smiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The mentor Silas had introduced her to explained that HR was a core department. Holding a position there would give her full authority over personnel appointments.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The previous HR Director had just resigned, and the deputy director, William Grant, had thought that his promotion was all but guaranteed. He never expected a young woman to parachute in and become the department\u2019s head. His expression hardened on the spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
S\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 20\u00a0<\/p>\n

Antonio patted him on the shoulder and lowered his voice. \u201cThat\u2019s my sister\u2019s daughter. There\u2019s nothing I can do about it. She\u2019s just here to gain some experience. Bear with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
William knew perfectly well that the company belonged to Diana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Reeves, about my promotion-\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBe patient. She\u2019ll probably leave after a few days once she gets bored. Hang on, alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Left with no choice, William swallowed his frustration and forced himself to put up with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After speaking with William, Antonio glanced over his shoulder at Bethany. Noticing how she was still looking around the office, taking in her surroundings, he smiled to himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It seemed that he had worried for nothing. A 25\u2013year\u2013old woman couldn\u2019t possibly compete with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, what do you think, Beth? If there\u2019s anything you\u2019d like changed, let the corporate design team know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany smiled sweetly. \u201cThat won\u2019t be necessary. This is fine. It\u2019s getting late, Uncle Antonio. So, I\u2019ll take my leave first. Please don\u2019t mind me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression softened. \u201cAlright. Drive safely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
