Forbidden Love: Angel’s Seduction - Chapter 255

~ At De La Sierra Hotel ~

In the large ballroom hall of Dela Sierra Hotel, the Blackpearl project launching and kick-off was being held tonight.

Several higher-ups of Lockhart Enterprise already arrived at the venue. Mr. Clarence Chin, the Acting CEO, was escorting Selene as they welcomed the other guests.

They were prominent people from the Business world. The Chou Family also arrived headed by Grandpa Ivan, the Chairman of Lockhart Enterprise.

Renz came along with his grandpa and his parents. He immediately searched for Selene. The two of them already reconciled and decided to become friends.

Though he was sad, Renz already felt content with his current relationship status with Selene. He would still protect and look out for her as he promised to Grandma Elysa.

Renz and his family were welcomed by Mr. Chua, the Finance Director, and Mr. Bourne, Operations Director. They guided them to their respective seats.

The 13 board members of the Lockhart Enterprise also showed up together with Program Director, Mr. Domiguez, and Marketing Director, Agnes.

Mr. Torres, the Communication Director, was the host tonight. He was acknowledging the guests on the stage by announcing their arrival.

Agnes roamed her eyes around the venue. She didn’t know what this project Blackpearl was all about. Selene intentionally kept everything a secret. Only her trusted men knew about this project like Director Torres, and Acting CEO, Clarence Chin.

Agnes and the other Directors were biased towards Selene. They were looking down on her, thinking that she was incapable of managing the company.

Agnes was trying to oust Selene for being the CEO of the Lockhart Company. It was written in the agreement that Selene would take over the company once she turned 20 and graduated from College.

The Acting CEO would be handing over all the operations and the leadership to Selene soon. Agnes and her allies wanted to stop it from happening.

Since Selene promised to them that she would step down willingly once her project failed, Agnes and her group were watching and waiting for her to commit mistakes and fail this project.

If this project would be unsuccessful then they had more valid reason to force Selene out of the company. It didn’t matter if she was the heiress. The company didn’t need an incapable heiress.

They were trying to influence the board members to turn against Selene. Selene was aware of this, that’s why she was very cautious in implementing her project.

Samantha and Selene were working together while being careful. Who knows, someone would sabotage their project?

Mr. M was the only person who knew something about this project. He learned some information through his connection with Samantha.

Surprisingly, Mr. M didn’t make any order yet to sabotage this project. Was it because he was waiting for Selene to counterattack or he could not bring himself to betray Samantha since he knew the efforts Samantha put into this project?

He was watching them on the sideline, just waiting for the right time to attack. In his mind, Selene and Lockhart Enterprise were not the only target. He had a bigger goal, a bigger target. And that was the Chou Empire!

On the other hand, Eros and Samantha were preparing for tonight’s presentation backstage. They were full support for Selene.

Eros just finished with his task when he took a peek at the main hall, his eyes searching Selene. His eyes sparkled in delight as he saw Selene’s stunning figure.

He could see that she grew and became more mature. She could even blend well with those wealthy businessmen and socialites.

“She is so beautiful, right? I want her to become my muse!”

Eros almost jumped in surprise when Samantha suddenly spoke up from behind.

“You almost gave me a heart attack, Sam!” Eros complained to her.

Samantha just patted his back. She also took a peek at the main hall. They could see people smiling and talking to Selene.

“Look at them, Gabriel. They are smiling at Selene, but some of them can’t wait to see her fail,” Samantha said while shaking her head.

A smirk flashed on Eros’s lips. “Well, Selene will slap them hard on their faces. You and Selene will nail it tonight! I’m sure everyone here will be applauding the two of you at the end of the presentation.”

Samantha pounced on Eros, wrapping her arm around his shoulder.

“You are the best, Gab! You are the number one supporter of our Project Blackpearl!”

Eros just smiled at her but in his mind, he was thinking that he was not the number one supporter of Project Blackpearl, but the number one supporter of Selene!

“Go and inform Selene. Tell her that everything is set on our sides!” Samantha said, pushing Eros out of the backstage.

Eros could only scratch the back of his head. Samantha was acting so bossy tonight. But he knew that Samantha was also nervous for tonight. She was more pressured than Selene because she didn’t want to fail her.

Selene was still talking to the other Board members when Agnes approached her.

“Miss Anderson, I am looking forward to the big show! Are you confident tonight? Will you be able to amaze us?” Agnes said in a low voice. There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice. She didn’t call her CEO since she still didn’t acknowledge Selene.

Selene just smiled at her, not allowing Agnes to affect her mood. She would just ignore Agnes’s provocation since she didn’t want her night to be ruined by insignificant people like her.

“Just sit back, relax and enjoy the show, Director Agnes,” Selene said, smiling confidently.

Agnes was the one who crumpled her face seeing the proud look in Selene’s eyes. She wanted to rip off that smile from the corners of Selene’s lips.

Selene smiled inwardly as she watched the sour expression of Agnes. She came to provoke Selene, but she was the one who got annoyed in the end.

Selene stayed away from Agnes. She completely ignored her after that encounter. Agnes was fuming in rage. She couldn’t accept that a 19-year old woman would talk back to her. Selene was not intimidated at all.

“We will see who will cry in the end, Selene Anderson! Don’t be full of yourself. You haven’t proven anything to us yet. I don’t think you are suitable for the CEO position! I can’t wait to see you fall hard to the ground after this failure. The board members will see how incompetent you are!:
