Chapter 115 - Stepping Down As President! (2/2)

Jordan pretended to be sad too. He said, “Everything I have in Orlando is given to me by Grandpa. Since he wants to take them all back, I’ll return everything to him, including the company’s shares. I’ll step down as president of Ace Corporation too.”

“Before I do, I’d like to have Victoria Clarke assume the position of CEO. Is that alright?”

Victoria was filled with complicated emotions after hearing his words because she didn’t expect Jordan to recommend her to serve as the company’s president.

After taking a glance at Victoria, Frank said, “Alright. I’ve long heard about how brave and resourceful Miss Clarke is. Since I’m not familiar with the operations in Ace Corporation either, Victoria Clarke shall be the president of the Ace Corporation from now on!”

“Mr… Mr. Reyes.” Victoria’s speech had become somewhat incoherent.

She had dreamed of that position for ages!

She had always thought that the deputy president of a listed company was the pinnacle of what she could achieve in her career for the rest of her life!

Frank could tell how excited Victoria was, and he said with a smile, “Miss Clarke, don’t rejoice too soon. It’s not necessarily a good thing to become the president of the Ace Corporation now because Ace Corporation is still being targeted by the Huxleys.”

“Hopefully, after Jordan steps down, the Huxleys will give up on attacking the Ace Corporation. Otherwise, if he insists on making Ace Corporation go bankrupt, you’ll only be able to be the president for a few days.”

Victoria was aware of the current situation, but no matter what, she still wanted to clinch the position of president of the corporation!

Victoria bowed to Frank respectfully and then once more to Jordan.

“Thank you, Mr. Reyes and Mr. Steele. No matter what, I’ll definitely stand by Ace Corporation and brave through all storms!”

Frank and Jordan both looked at Victoria with a heartened smile.

At this moment, Jordan said to Victoria in his head, ‘Victoria, after we part this time, we may never get to be colleagues or meet again in this life. The position of president of Ace Corporation is my last gift to you. Thank you forever for having had a crush on me!’

Jordan was not a fool, so he obviously knew that Victoria, the goddess of the business industry in Orlando, had a crush on him!

However, Jordan had been caught up with Hailey and never thought of getting into a relationship with Victoria.

Now that Jordan had given up on the business trial of his own accord, he would leave Ace Corporation and sever all ties with Victoria.

He had let her down after all!

Butler Frank left without saying anything.

After Frank and Pablo left, only Jordan, Hailey, and Victoria were left in the office.

On the computer screen, the stock price of Ace Corporation was still plummeting continuously, and there was nothing but red.

Victoria looked at Jordan with mixed feelings and said, “Mr. Steele… maybe your grandfather is just muddled up. Don’t be too sad.”

Jordan smiled and said, “I’m not the president of Ace Corporation any more. You are. I hope you can lead Ace Corporation to greater heights after I leave. I might come back and apply for a job when I can no longer make a living in the future. When that time comes, you must take me in.”

“Mr. Steele…”

When Victoria heard her words, she felt a sudden soreness in her nose, and she teared up right away.

That was a rare sight.

Victoria had been portraying the image of a strong, independent career woman for numerous years.

She could make the domineering presidents kneel down in front of her.

She could throw a grown man over her shoulder and beat him up into a pulp.

She had never shown such a gentle and vulnerable side of herself before.

This was the first time in her life that she cried in front of her own boss.

She was grateful to have met Jordan, and working for him during this period was the happiest days of her life.

Jordan patted Victoria’s shoulder and said, “Miss Clarke, please hold a press conference for me. I want to announce my resignation.”

Half an hour later.

Jordan’s announcement of his resignation as the president of Ace Corporation hit the headlines of the major financial channels!
