Zayden continued, "I was only using the meeting as an excuse to refuse you. I will express my stance here!
"I support Rachel. I believe that with her as the president of Wealthwave Group, the collaboration between our companies will reach a higher level!"
Quinn felt as though he had been slapped in the face.
Rowan had already humiliated him; he hadn't expected Zayden to ignore the fact that he and Malcolm were classmates and do the same.
How could Zayden humiliate him?
Upon seeing the gazes of his relatives and friends, Quinn felt his face burning.
He couldn't offend Rowan and Zayden. He could only point at Rachel and vent his hatred. "Rachel, just you wait. W-We aren't done!"
He had been humiliated in front of so many people. Quinn couldn't bring himself to stay there any longer. Furiously, he got up and left.
Malcolm's face was ghastly. He knew that he would be humiliating himself if he stayed there. So, he got up and left with Quinn.
Upon seeing that, Rachel knew that her position as president was secured.
A smile appeared on her cold face. She raised the wine glass and said, "Mr. White, thank you for your support. And thank you, Mr. Lloyd, for your encouragement. I will continue to work hard and lead Wealthwave Group to greater heights!
"Thank you, everyone, for coming. Here's to the future of the Carters and my mother's birthday. Cheers!"
Then, Rachel drank all the wine in her glass. Everyone present raised their wine glasses and emptied them too.
Without Quinn and Malcolm around, the atmosphere immediately became lively. Many people walked over to Rachel and congratulated her.
Meanwhile, Matthew sat there and watched everything happen silently. He watched Rachel, who was a proud woman, chatting and laughing, full of energy.
He felt complicated. Ever since Rachel had announced that he would marry into the Carter family, everyone had started to look at him differently.
In fact, no one cared about him.
As Matthew was sitting there in a daze, Yvonne walked over and threw the watch on his table. "Take your watch back."
Matthew took the watch and gave it back to Yvonne. "This is your birthday present."
Yvonne burst into laughter. "My daughter is Wealthwave Group's president. I don't need to wear a counterfeit watch."
In a hurry, Matthew explained, "This is a genuine watch. I helped someone back then. As a thanks, he—"
