“Are you resigning, Jonah? You’re not going to remain president?” Alyssa asked with a tremor in her voice. She was shocked and frantic.
Jonah smiled relaxedly. “Yeah. I’ve discussed this with Dad. I’ve already made my intentions very clear to him.
“Lyse, do you remember the day when you went home to see Dad? What did I say then? I said that you are the most suitable candidate for president and the most perfect successor of KS Group. I don’t want you to feel like it’s a regretful thing. Truth be told, I’ve been waiting a long time for this day.
“It has never been my ambition to be the president. All these years, I have been under a lot of pressure. I never had a chance to relax. Now that you’re finally taking over, I can live a life I want.”
“Jonah, I was just kidding. I do have ambitions. I’m someone who hungers to have a position, but…”
The tip of Alyssa’s nose turned red. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she started choking on her tears.
Jeremy read her mind, and his heart ached for her. He wrapped his arms around her and held her in a secure embrace.
“Oh, silly. You’re tearing up again.”
Jonah comforted her immediately. “I am just tendering my resignation. Nothing is happening to me. You don’t have to react like that.
“Moving forward, KS Group will be in your hands. Your wish to carry this responsibility is finally coming true. I’m guessing that you’d even be smiling in your sleep, wouldn’t you?
“The only thing is that you’d probably be very occupied in the days to come. In some ways, it will affect the time that you and Jeremy will get to spend together. That is something that I feel sorry about.”
“Don’t say that, Jonah.”
Jeremy gave Alyssa a squeeze around her waist. His veins were throbbing, and his heart was pounding. “If spending time apart is a concern, I will marry Lyse as soon as possible.
“After that, I will spend as much time as I can with her. I will cling to her every day. I’m just afraid that she’ll become sick and bored of me by then.”
Alyssa bit on her lip shyly. She leaned into his arms as she smiled sweetly.
With a smile on his face, Jonah teased Jeremy, “My sister is a strong, independent woman. What happens if she wishes to go out to work and for you to be the househusband?”
“If you ask me, I’d rather cook for Lyse than work at the Walsh Group,” answered Jeremy without any hesitation.
He looked at Alyssa with a fiery and sincere gaze. “Lyse just needs to be herself when we’re together. As for myself, I am happy just being by her side.”
Alyssa’s heart swelled with love. She buried her head in Jeremy’s chest.
“Lyse has garnered some experience at KS World Hotel in the past. Nevertheless, it still seems hasty for her to assume this position overnight. I would appreciate it if you could provide some guidance to her moving forward, Mr. Walsh,” Jonah said in a serious tone.
“You’re pulling my leg, Jonah, aren’t you?”
Jeremy couldn’t help but laugh. “In the past, I have gone against Lyse multiple times in the business world. I lost to her every single time. I don’t think I’m in any position to be guiding her.”
Alyssa chimed in, “That was because you let me win.”
Jeremy answered honestly, “I didn’t, really.”
Alyssa jabbed him on his side playfully. It hurt, but it also made his entire body tingle.
“Anyway, I’m just relieved that Lyse has you by her side. Once Dad’s condition has stabilized, Julien and I will bring Dad to Mosgravia to get treated. We will be there for a while. I will leave the family and KS Group in your care.”
Jonah smiled slightly. “Feel free to come by anytime if you miss Dad, myself, or Jul.”
Alyssa and Jeremy held each other’s hands. They nodded enthusiastically.
Right at that moment, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching from behind them.
Jonah was able to recognize the sound of those footsteps. He knew who it was. His heart skipped a beat.
“Jul is here!”
Quick-wittedly, Alyssa pulled Jeremy by the hand and dragged him away. “Have a good chat with Jonah. We’ll be taking our leave!”
The moon was shining brightly in the night sky.
Julien stopped a few steps away from Jonah. Their eyes met. Their outstanding figures looked good together.
The bright moonlight reflected on Julien’s sweet face. It reflected a softness on his face. Jonah couldn’t take his eyes off him.
“Jonah…” he started hesitantly.
Jonah started to walk toward him. He was bright-eyed, and his breathing was shallow.
“Jonah, I.”
In the next moment, Jonah put his arm around his waist and pulled him firmly into his arms.
Jonah sealed his trembling lips with a deep kiss. Their alluring shadows overlapped.
They pulled back from each other after a while. Julien’s lips were moist, and his eyes were in a daze.
“This is your. first time initiating a kiss.”
His voice was muffled. There was a hint of submission and grievance in his voice.
“I’m sorry that I made you wait for so long.”
Jonah lowered his eyes. Julien could feel his warm breath on his nose. He slipped his hands into his before slowly letting their fingers intertwine.
“Let me be the one to draw closer to you. hundreds and thousands more times in the future.”
Winston’s illness was no longer a secret. Rumors about this prestigious and wealthiest man in Belbanks were spreading like wildfire on the internet.
There were a variety of rumors. Some of them even said that he was on his deathbed. They claimed that the Taylors chose to hide the truth in view of the public opinions and share price.
As for KS Group’s president, Jonah, his relationship with Lovelace Group’s Julien came as a shocking revelation to the public. Only a night had passed. Yet, photos of the couple could no longer be found on the internet.
Even if anyone posted any photos of them on social media, it would disappear within a minute.
At first, the public thought Jonah would call for a press conference regarding the news or speak up to clarify things.
Nevertheless, three days had passed. All the Taylors were as quiet as a mouse. There were no reactions from them at all. In the end, the busybodies of the public had nothing they could gossip about.
Five days later, an announcement was posted on KS Group’s official website, subsequently reported by the major media outlets.
Its content was simple, yet it shook the entire business industry!
“In order to accommodate future developments and needs, KS Group’s board of directors has agreed for Jonah Taylor to step down from his position as Vice Chairman and be relieved of his CEO duties, effective today.”
Everyone assumed that Jonah resigned as a way of taking responsibility.
After all, he was embroiled in such a scandal. His public image had taken a hit, and he was probably too humiliated to continue being the face of KS Group.
Among all these people, Josh was the most excited of them all.
The moment the news was publicized, he went straight to Victor to seek his recognition.
Victor took into consideration the fact that Josh had made a major contribution in taking Jonah down. He didn’t bring up his demand to send him to Fallandos again. Furthermore, he agreed to restore his position as executive director.
Josh wasn’t promised to have his original position restored. Even so, he had managed to grab onto this life buoy. He had found his place in the Schmidt Group once again.
As long as he was able to stay on, he would have a chance to reclaim all that belonged to him.
That bastard, Jameson, would not be happy for much longer!
That night, Josh was in high spirits and feeling very proud. He held a party at The Millennium. He invited his friends to celebrate his victorious conquest.
His fellow scion friends saw that he had regained his power. Each of them prepared generous gifts for him. They tried hard to butter Josh up.
It was as if Josh’s mighty power, which he had in the past, had returned to him.
Inside The Millennium, they indulged in extravagant luxuries.
At the same time, a tall figure was standing in the night. The man’s black coat was flapping in the wind. He stared at the main entrance, where the security was tight. He clenched his hands into fists.
It was in the wee hours of the morning.
