Gordon's expression grew solemn. "I'm sure everyone here is aware of the recent turmoil at Merchant Group. It's been a tough period for us. However, to ensure the continued prosperity of the company, I have decided to announce, in front of all of you tonight, the new heir of Merchant Group, Nina."

Her face beamed with a gentle and poised smile, as if nothing had happened over an hour ago.
Gordon stepped down from the stage.
