After the meeting, Scarlett followed Athena into her office.

Even though she hadn't been there long, the office was in perfect order.

The potted plants were even lusher than before.

"Chelsea, how did we do? I hope we didn't disappoint you." Scarlett leaned against the desk and waited for praise with a sly smile.

Athena smiled back, "You did not disappoint me, but you exceeded my expectations. After this project, I can entrust Chelsea Investment Company to you and focus on preparing to inherit the family business." Athena wasn't kidding.

Rose's health worsened gradually, and Athena wished to take over Stella Group soon. Rose would be able to live a leisurely life earlier.

Just a few days ago, Rose had been discussing how she envied Jaxson's peaceful life in the countryside.

Even though she occasionally joined him for some farming activities, she always missed the harvest season.

Due to her frequent flights, her extensive travel took a toll on her health.

Scarlett, however, couldn't hide her genuine surprise when Athena expressed her willingness to entrust her with the company. "Chelsea, I was just joking about being so confident. We still need you." Athena corrected Scarlett. "I can be away not far. I plan to come back to Stella Group sooner or later. Chelsea Investment Company is my creation, and I won't trust it in anyone else but you." Scarlett was genuinely moved.

"After this project, I will give you a new job appointment. You won't be my assistant anymore. You will be the president of Chelsea Investment Company," Athena said earnestly. "You will have absolute decision- making power in all matters related to Chelsea Investment Company from now on."

Scarlett's eyes welled up with tears.

In traditional families, who hasn't faced oppression as a daughter?

Despite Scarlett's upbringing in Alcombey, her parents held traditional views and always favored her brothers.

Growing up in a traditional family, she had been suppressed by patriarchal values and had been expected to marry and bear children. But Scarlett was defiant.

She proved herself to her parents through her achievements. She fought so hard to break free from her family's constraints.

She even managed to secure a full scholarship to a prestigious university when they refused to provide financial support.

Her parents wanted her to marry, but she resisted, eventually leading to estrangement from her family.

Even now, she earned more in a month than her brothers did in a year, but her parents still didn't acknowledge her.

Chelsea Investment Company had become her life's work, and Athena's words meant the world to Scarlett.

Scarlett declared confidently, "Chelsea, you can trust me. I'll make Chelsea Investment Company even better and won't disappoint you." Athena smiled brightly, "Then it's up to you."

Scarlett nodded. "Okay."

With Scarlett at the helm, Chelsea Investment Company became a world-renowned investment bank.

Scarlett herself became a prominent figure in the financial industry.

Despite her success, her parents continued disregarding her choices, believing she had departed from the traditional path of a woman's role.

But Scarlett's career had made her strong and unwavering. She was no longer the little girl seeking her parents' approval.

When faced with criticism, she found it laughable and no longer felt the need to justify her decisions.

But that was a story for another time.

The meeting flowed smoothly and efficiently.

Athena left the office at half past four, just in time for her kids' school pickup.

She couldn't make it to the school in time, so she drove directly home instead.
