Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538 Chapter 538 Tiana scanned the room , her icy gaze sweeping over the high ranking executives , and not one of them dared to meet her eyes .

One final matter effective immediately , Ill take over the position of CEO at Rhodes Corporation , she announced , her tone devoid of emotion .

And if there are any more incompetents like Troy causing chaos , I wont just send them to prison .

Ill make sure theyre permanently dealt with .

Her cold words sent shivers through the room , leaving the executives visibly uneasy .

The ones who had aligned themselves with Michael looked particularly pale , their faces betraying their mounting anxiety .

Tiana stepping in as CEO spelled doom for Michael , and if he lost power , they knew they would suffer alongside him .

Michaels expression darkened as he forced himself to speak .

Aunt Tiana , if youre taking over as CEO … then what happens to me ? Tiana waved dismissively .

Youll return to your previous role as vice CEO and continue overseeing the departments youve been managing .

Once the Pharmaceutical Divisions crisis is resolved, you and Lauren can compete for the CEO position .

Michaels fists clenched , and his voice grew sharp .

Aunt Tiana , thats unfair .

Tiana did not even flinch at his protest , responding with a chilling calmness .

If you think its unfair , youre welcome to resign and head to Blumedale immediately .

Im sure the family elders there will appreciate your help building connections and expanding into new markets .

You always wanted to prove yourself as the future head of the family , didnt you ? Beads of sweat began to form on Michaels forehead as he hurriedly backtracked .

Oh , Aunt Tiana , you must be joking .

Im far too inexperienced to take on such a significant task in Blumedale .

Id rather stay here in Jayrodale and ensure the stability of Rhodes Corporation .

Blumedale was a battleground where the Rhodes family struggled to gain a foothold , and Michael had no interest in being sent there as cannon fodder .
