Chapter 647
On the other side, James and his wife, Coral, were chatting amiably.
with Asher inside the banquet hall.
James was the president of the Iverson Group. He took over several
significant industries and subsidiaries of the group.
Being the eldest son, James was the one his father placed the
greatest hope on.
Unless something unexpected happened, James would eventually
take control of the entire Iverson Group.
As for Asher, being the eldest son of Wyatt Thompson, he was also
destined to be the future heir to the KS Group.
Despite his distaste for polygamous families like the Thompsons, James was still willing to maintain a superficial relationship
with.
Asher.

“Mr. Thompson, I heard that KS Group is interested in expanding into Savrow. Your group’s recent developments are quite
impressive. You’re advancing with great momentum.” James carried the standard smile of a successful person. “In the future,
you and I will surely have more chances to collaborate. Our two families have been friends for
generations, and our fathers are like brothers. I hope that we can continue this friendship.”
Asher smiled lightly and clinked glasses with him.
“In the future, Mr. Thompson, if KS Group has any good projects in Savrow, please remember to consider the Iverson Group. If
our two

families can unite, no one in Savrow, or even the whole country, can
compete with us.” James sipped his wine, not hiding his ambition.
“Mr. Iverson, you’re quite right. It’s just a pity that I’m standing at this
post for the last time. From now on, I’ll have to step back,” Asher said calmly, elegantly sipping his wine.
James and Coral exchanged puzzled looks. “Mr. Thompson, what do
you mean by this?”
“As you all know, being a CEO was never my aspiration. I took on this responsibility to support my father. I also wanted to free
my younger brothers and sisters from the burdens of taking on the family.
business. I wanted them to fulfill their dreams and self-worth without
being weighed down by family matters.”
Asher reminisced about Bella, his lips gently curling into a smile.
“Now that my little sister is back, she’s very interested in doing.
business and eager to try her hand at managing the group. She’s also
exceptionally talented. So, after this transitional period, I will step
back as CEO and pass the position to my dearest sister.”
James was taken aback. “Mr. Thompson, are you suggesting that if
Ms. Thompson has the intention, she will become the CEO of the KS
Group?”
“Yes.” Asher nodded, speaking frankly. This was not a secret. In the future, Bella will undoubtedly be the heir to the KS Group.
No one
within the entire Thompson family was more suited to this role.
“But Ms. Thompson is a girl. She’s only in her early twenties this year, right? At this age, she should be enjoying her youth. She’ll
be married in a couple of years. Then she will be focusing on supporting her

husband and children. That should be the normal life trajectory for a wealthy young lady, right?” Coral expressed her opinion
gently.
“Moreover, Chairman Thompson has several sons at his side, each outstanding. Any one of them can handle important
responsibilities. It’s not necessary for Ms. Thompson to manage the business. It
seems quite arduous for a girl.”
“Mrs. Iverson, I understand where you’re coming from, but Bella is not an ordinary girl. Bella won’t be able to realize her value as
a
housewife. If we force her to do so, she might be scared off and might even run away. If that’s the case, I might not be able to
see her before I die of old age.”
Asher half-jokingly said, “So, even if it’s just to keep my little sister by my side for a long time, I am willing to step back and give
her the
position. I have pampered her since she was a baby. I will give her
whatever she wants.”
‘How unbelievable !’ Coral was greatly shocked. The Iverson famil
had a total of four children, three of whom were born to the same
mother, but they fought constantly.
Despite Wyatt Thompson having three wives and multiple children, they did not fight each other for benefits.
Moreover, Asher even willingly handed over everything he had carefully built.
While James praised Asher incessantly, he was secretly sneering in his heart. ‘Asher was truly lacking in ambition, blindly
spoiling his
younger sister. Instead of securing his own promising future, he allowed this little girl to run amok. Sooner or later, he would
regret it.’

“Mr. Iverson!” At this moment, James’ secretary hurriedly walked
Over
Upon seeing Carol, he hesitated to speak.
“Apologies for the interruption,” James apologized with a smile.
Asher nodded. “Please go ahead.”
As soon as James left, Coral’s face darkened.
“What did you say?” James’ eyebrows knitted after listening, and his
expression turned tense.
“Ms. Mandy has arrived, but she couldn’t get in. The Thompson family’s bodyguards stopped her outside, and now she’s causing
a ruckus, demanding to see you. Quite a few people have witnessed it!” The secretary wiped off some sweat as he reported the
situation in a
hushed voice.
“She thinks she can attend such an occasion? Tell her to get lost
