The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Harleen Knight Recognized

The scene fell silent as people turned their attention toward Billy's group, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Ah!!!" Ava Jones and Hannah Hill were the first to break the silence, jumping up from their seats in excitement.

As for Harleen Knight, her mind seemed to short-circuit, and it took her a while to regain her composure.

"This is wonderful, truly wonderful!" Ava Jones and Hannah Hill regained their emotions and looked at Harleen Knight. "Congratulations, Ms Knight!"

"Congratulations, dear!" Billy smiled at Harleen Knight. "Now you don't have to worry about being reassigned."

"Ho... How is this possible? It can't be me. It must be a mistake by Mr Hines!" Harleen finally reacted, shaking her head vigorously.

"In such a large corporation, how could they make me the President? No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Ms Knight, with something this important, there's no way Derek could be mistaken. It must be you!" Ava Jones was still excited.

Hannah Hill nodded fervently beside her. "Ms Knight, Ava is right. Mr Hines couldn't possibly be wrong. Your contributions at SunPark Group are evident to everyone. He must have made this decision after careful consideration."

"Let's welcome Ms Knight to the stage and hear a few words from her." Derek spoke from the stage once more.

Applause thundered through the venue, continuous and unending.

"I..." Harleen Knight was a bit overwhelmed. She still couldn't believe that this was real.

It felt like a dram, so unreal!

"Dear, go ahead. Everyone is waiting," Billy smiled, giving her a determined look. "Believe in yourself."

"Okay." Harleen took a deep breath and stood up, walking towards the stage.

"Mr Hines, thank you, thank you for your affirmation and trust!" On the stage, Harleen bowed deeply to Derek.

"Ms Knight, you're welcome. Hiring you as President was a carefully considered decision. I believe you'll excel in this position," Derek returned the gesture with a bow. "SunPark Group will be in your hands from now on."

"Thank you, Mr Hines!" Harleen took another deep breath and continued, "I, Harleen Knight, will do my utmost to live up to your expectations."

As she spoke, a touch of determination flickered in her eyes. She wasn't a person who hesitated easily. Since she had this opportunity, she would cherish it. Although she knew that the President's role wouldn't be easy, she needed to give it her best shot. If it turned out she wasn't suitable, she could always apply for a different position later. At the very least, she wouldn't regret not trying her best.

"I believe Ms Knight won't disappoint me," Derek smiled once more and handed the microphone to Harleen Knight. "Why don't you greet your colleagues?"

"Sure." Harleen nodded, taking the microphone and addressing the audience.

"Dear colleagues, my name is Harleen Knight. I'm honored to have this chance to stand before you today. Here, I want to make a promise to all of you. I will do my utmost to excel in this position..."

Harleen seemed to gradually get into the flow, her eloquence smooth, her logic clear-she appeared every bit the capable career woman.

"Have you noticed her from somewhere?" Just then, a woman's voice sounded.

"What do you mean? Do you know her?" another woman asked.
