I am the King

Chapter 32

Emma asked curiously, "What?"

Vincent smiled, "My dear, don't you find being a full-time housewife a bit boring? To alleviate your boredom, I've found a job for you." On the night of the previous banquet, Vincent had arranged for the liquidation of all the Joseph family's assets, and now it was time to make use of it.

Una pursed her lips, "What kind of surprise is this? Our Emma is a natural-born aristocratic lady. Does she need to go out and find a job? She can just live a wealthy life at home and have everything served to her."

Emma didn't bother with Una and turned to Vincent, saying, "Great, it’s been hard to find a decent job in the past few years, I've been wanting to go out and find something to do."

"Vincent, if this surprise is only meant for Emma, why did you bring us along?" Franklin asked curiously.

Vincent glanced at Franklin and smiled, "Dad, I know you're capable. Your talent is not inferior to Norman's, but you have been ignored in the Joseph family. So, I'm also going to find a job for you."

Upon hearing this, Una immediately stood up with an angry expression, "You think just by buying a villa, you can command our whole family to work? I thought you would really let us live a wealthy life, but I never expected you to treat us as slaves. Are you also going to find a job for me?" As she spoke, Una's expression became distorted.

Vincent said expressionlessly, "You don't need to work. You can just stay at home."

"Alright!" Una was still unsatisfied, but after Vincent and his group left, she suddenly realized, ‘Vincent said I don't need to work, is he implying that I'm a useless waste of space?’

Una pursued Vincent angrily into the yard, "Vincent, I'm going too."

The engine of the Maybach roared to life, and the whole family left the Cloudtop Villa.

Half an hour later, at Joseph Group.

Emmanuel Middleton, the former general manager of the Joseph Group, was leading over a thousand employees and anxiously waiting at the entrance. Ever since the Joseph family fell, Emmanuel had been living in fear. Just yesterday, he received a call from Stanley Field's secretary, informing him that there would be a new chairman taking over Joseph Group today.

Realizing that the new chairman would surely replace a batch of employees, Emmanuel had come to the company early in the morning to lead all the staff in welcoming the new chairman. He wanted to secure his position as general manager.

At this moment, some Joseph Group employees were also getting impatient and started whispering among themselves.

"Manager, who do you think this new chairman will be?"

"Yeah, we've been waiting for an hour already. Why hasn't the new chairman arrived yet?"

"Our lack of a chairman makes me feel uneasy."

Emmanuel glared at them and said sternly, "Shut up all of you. If the new chairman sees you like this and is not satisfied, you'll practically just be waiting to be fired."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shut up.

"Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Emmanuel looked into the distance with anxiousness written all over his face.

Right then.

The sound of an engine roared, and a Maybach pulled up.

"Everyone, pay attention! The new chairman is here!" Seeing this, Emmanuel quickly shouted.

All the employees immediately stood up straight, not daring to make a single mistake.

The car door opened, and Vincent and the others got out.

Franklin looked at the familiar building in front of him and asked in surprise, "Why are you bringing us to Joseph Group?"

Emma also had a look of curiosity on her face.

Vincent smiled, "Joseph Group is ours now!"

Upon hearing Vincent's response, Emma and the others immediately widened their eyes, looking truly incredulous, "Vincent, are you kidding? How could Joseph Group be ours?"

Although Franklin and Emma were both members of the Joseph family, they never thought that the Joseph Group would become theirs. After all, they held the lowest position in the family, and it was unlikely that Clement would give them the company.

Una looked uneasy, "Vincent, don't talk nonsense. What will you do if we get kicked out by the security guards?."

Even after seeing that Una and the others didn't believe him, Vincent still just continued to smile, without saying another word.

"Welcome, Mr. Chairman!" Emmanuel hurried over with a smile.

"Manager, what are you doing?" Franklin asked Emmanuel in surprise.

Emmanuel looked up and saw Franklin and the others with equally surprised expressions. "Mr. Joseph, why are you here? Is one of you the new chairman?"

"Manager, what are you talking about? How could one of us be the new chairman?" Franklin shook his head.

Vincent smiled and said, "Dad, he's not wrong. You're the new chairman."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Vincent looked at Emmanuel and asked, "Did Stanley Field send you to greet us?"

Emmanuel nodded and said, "Yes, may I ask..."

Before he could finish, Vincent took out a document and said, "This is the share transfer document for the Joseph Group. From today on, the Joseph Group belongs to my in-laws."

Emmanuel took the share transfer document and finally confirmed that Franklin was the new chairman.

Upon seeing this, Emmanuel immediately greeted Franklin respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Chairman!"

"Mr. Chairman, nice to meet you!" At the same time, over a thousand employees of the Joseph Group greeted him with equal respect.

No one had expected that Franklin, the least important member of the Joseph family, would become the new chairman of the company.

"Vincent, is this all true?" Franklin, still in disbelief, asked Vincent.

Vincent smiled and said, "It's all true. After Stanley Field liquidated the Joseph Group, he gave it to me. Now, I announce that from today on, you are the new chairman of the Joseph Group."

"But can I really do it?" Franklin truly lacked confidence.

Vincent patted Franklin's shoulder, "Dad, believe in yourself, you can do it. Do you want to continue to be like this forever?"

Franklin took a deep breath, "Vincent, you're right. I'll give it a try."

Emma asked eagerly, "Vincent, and what about me?"

Vincent smiled and said, "My dear, you are, of course, the new president of the Joseph Group."

Emma was surprised to hear this. She had wanted to return to the Joseph family and join the Joseph Group to show her worth countless times, but she didn't expect it to happen in such a way.

"Vincent, what's my position?" Una shouted anxiously.

Vincent looked at Una and said, "You said you only wanted to stay at home and be rich. I think you should stay out of this."
