When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster
Chapter 740: Jude Reynolds Appointed Chairman
CHAPTER 740: CHAPTER 740: JUDE REYNOLDS APPOINTED CHAIRMAN
Actually, this matter was brought up at dinner tonight.
The old man’s meaning was very clear: you should consider it yourselves, he remains neutral.
Adrian Lancaster and Faye are very welcoming of their father’s return to the company and want him to take the position of chairman because he has the capability.
Caleb Lancaster doesn’t have much thought about the position.
He doesn’t want to be the chairman, he just wants to leverage his abilities to help his son with some work matters in his lifetime, making him useful in his old age and realizing his value.
"I think Adrian sincerely wants you to take on the role of chairman."
Eliza Hayes analyzed to her husband based on her understanding of their son—
"So, you can generously accept this position. Since you want to help him, it won’t just be for a day or two. You are still young, in your prime in the workplace. You can’t show up as an assistant, can you? What would the outside world think? How would they evaluate him?"
Caleb Lancaster fell silent after hearing this.
He wants to hand the real power over to his son, while he merely lends a helping hand wherever needed, which is his true intention; otherwise, he would just be idling at home.
"Caleb, you might not yet fully understand Adrian," Eliza Hayes said softly. "He prioritizes family harmony above all, and he holds great respect for you and me."
Caleb Lancaster felt, like his wife, that he owed much to his son. "I know he’s a good child. Precisely because we owe him too much, I don’t want to make him too sensitive."
"Think it over some more."
"Okay."
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Adrian Lancaster’s Lamborghini and Caleb Lancaster’s car, a brand-new Cadillac, almost simultaneously parked at the company entrance of Prestige Group in the most stylish manner.
Invited and waiting, the eager reporters were excited one after another! Holding cameras and microphones.
Today everyone is here to witness a historic moment for Prestige Group!
A few black-clad bodyguards opened the car door, and though Caleb Lancaster was in his fifties, his youthful handsomeness was still evident.
His tall figure, dressed in a custom-made suit, emphasized his majestic stature.
After getting out of the car, he gentlemanly assisted his wife out. Eliza Hayes wore a handmade qipao, her beauty not from cosmetic enhancements or luxury products.
It’s the kind of serenity and openness that emerges after experiencing life’s ups and downs.
Facing the cameras, the couple greeted gracefully, side by side.
Adrian Lancaster got out of the car and joined his parents, walking steadily into the building with them—a truly good-looking family.
The reporters followed closely, and inside and out, many company executives and bodyguards were there to greet them, making for a grand scene.
Caleb Lancaster’s once-upright posture hadn’t become slouched from prolonged illness; his height was similar to his son’s, and he kept his arm around his wife’s shoulders, which added charm.
However, upon closer inspection, the hair at his temples appeared frosted, showing traces of time’s passage.
Wearing a black suit, he had a refined and unique allure today.
Even his wife, Eliza Hayes, thought he looked particularly handsome! She couldn’t resist smiling and turning to glance at him a few more times.
Inside the company lobby, a crowd surrounded them, greeting and introducing themselves, then entered the elevator.
Today’s inauguration ceremony was live-streamed, without prior notice, causing a sensation as soon as the broadcast began—
[Caleb Lancaster, who has been out of the public eye for twenty years, returns as Chairman of Prestige!]
