Everyone immediately turned to Seraphina.
"Huh? Is… Is it really up to me?" The woman was stunned. Although the Murphys were the biggest sponsor of the event, the family was actually not familiar with the electronics industry. Seraphina had only been acknowledged because of all the money her family had spent, so she felt a bit insecure attending such an event. However, hearing that she would be the sole reason behind the success of this event, she felt pride bloom in her.
"Yes, Miss Murphy, the newest chairman of KCL, requested you, specifically, to cooperate with them…"
"I'll do anything for them! It's an honor for me to be of assistance!" Seraphina was even more excited after hearing that the new chairman had personally requested her. After all, if she managed to befriend this new director, she would become a renowned figure within the technology industry as well. Powerful and rich businessmen would have to put effort into getting on her good side if they wished to work with KCL.
If that happened, Stefan would definitely have more respect for her, and rely on her even more.
"Well, uh…" Frederick adjusted his glasses, seemingly awkward. "The new chairman of KCL said they really like Beach City, and wish to have a goddaughter. So, their request is for you to say 'Daddy, I was wrong, please forgive me just this once and attend this conference!' in front of all the cameras."
After hearing this, everyone gasped.
Seraphina's expression turned stiff. "The chairman is… so funny…"
Six of the seven leaders in the conference room burst out laughing.
Akio even started clapping enthusiastically. "Hahaha, amazing! I like this new chairman, they have spunk! I must get the chance to work with them!"
The door to the conference room was opened by the staff, and the new chairman walked in casually. Instantly, the area erupted into chaos.
"Oh my god! Is this some sort of mistake?! What is she doing here?!"
"Impossible! My eyes must be deceiving me!"
Ignoring the people's doubtful stares, the chairman beamed and nodded. "Hello everyone, I am Renee Everheart, the new chairman of KCL Group. Sorry for the wait."
Then, she slowly walked towards Stefan and sat down next to him.
