Unscented-Chapter 209 - 151 Return of the King

With enthusiastic applause, Jim stood up with a warm smile. "Thank you, thank you for your support!"

He waved his hand, indicating for everyone to calm down. Then, Jim cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "We are grieved to hear the misfortune of Murray. But now we have more important things to do.

"My godfather made painstaking efforts to found the Gibson Corporation. Now that he is seriously ill and Murray is missing, we have to protect the Gibson Corporation. With your trust, I will take responsibility."

"Mr. Corbin, are you authorized by Mr. Marc to be the next president of the Gibson Corporation?" one of the reporters asked.

After all, the Gibson Corporation was founded by Marc. As the chairman, he could decide who would be the CEO.

Without Marc’s permission, Jim’s action was unjustified.

Jim smiled and said, "Of course, this is what my godfather wants ."

"Then why didn’t Mr. Marc attend the press conference today?" the reporter asked again.

Jim’s eyes flickered. "Because of Murray’s accident, he had a heart attack and is in danger, so he can’t come. He has entrusted me with full authority to handle the affairs of the Gibson Corporation."

Looking at Jim, who was proudly talking on the stage, Melissa smiled sarcastically.

It seemed that Jim couldn’t wait to see Murray die. Unfortunately, he would be disappointed.

Melissa lowered her eyes to look at her phone. There was no news from Murray.

She was worried that Murray might have difficulty rescuing Marc.

Jim was still making a long speech. Melissa took off her sunglasses and winked at Alex.

Alex nodded in understanding. He strode up the stage and looked coldly at Jim. "Jim cannot be president of the Gibson Corporation!"

His sudden opposition caused everyone to look at Alex.

As everyone knew, Alex was Murray’s right-hand man.

"Mr. Carson, what do you mean?" a reporter immediately asked.

"The literal meaning," said Alex.

Seeing this, Jim’s expression changed.

He wondered why Alex suddenly changed his mind.

"Mr. Marc is just missing. We still have hope of finding him. Why are you in a hurry to replace him, Mr. Corbin?" Alex looked at Jim coldly.

Jim forced himself to keep a smile. He walked up to Alex and patted him on the shoulder. "I know you are worried about Murray, and so am I. I treated Murray as my son.

"But now, we have to face reality.

"We have tried our best to search and rescue Murray, but all in vain. It is still unknown whether he is alive or dead."

"Then Mr. Gibson might be alive. Jim, why are you so impatient?" Alex sneered.

Jim frowned and winked at the security guard beside him.

The security guard immediately understood and walked forward, "Mr. Carson, please leave!"

Alex ignored him and looked coldly at Jim. "Why? Are you feeling guilty?"

"What are you talking about?" Jim frowned.

Alex raised his voice, "If you were authorized to take over the Gibson Corporation, why would you threaten and bribe me?"

As Alex spoke, he took out a check from his pocket and waved it in front of everyone. "Your autograph is on it."

There was no news from Murray. All Alex had to do was stall for time.

The crowd began to whisper.

"There seems to be something behind this!"

"Does Jim really have Mr. Marc’s authorization? If he does, why did Alex say that Jim bought him?"

"Alex, don’t be so unreasonable!" Jim’s cold eyes flashed. He couldn’t let Alex destroy his plan.

"You don’t know whether I’m being unreasonable or not. Jim, you should stop right now!" Alex said.

Jim waved his hand and said to the security guard beside him, "What are you waiting for? Get him out of here!"

The two security guards looked at each other and pulled Alex.

Jim cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, let’s continue with the press conference. From now on, I will be the executive president of the Gibson Corporation!"

"Jim, I’m afraid you are going to be disappointed!" a cold voice came from the door of the hall.

It was Murray.

Melissa was finally relieved.

Murray arrived. He must have saved Mr. Marc.

"Mr. Gibson!"

"Mr. Gibson is fine! He’s back!"

Murray’s appearance caused a stir. Everyone looked at the dazzling man at the gate in shock.

Under the lights in the conference hall, Murray seemed to be covered in golden light. He walked firmly and steadily towards the platform in front of him.

He looked at Melissa, who was sitting in the corner, and smiled faintly.

Melissa made an OK gesture to him.

"Murray... You, are you alright?" Jim looked at Murray in disbelief. His expression changed.

He was shocked that Murray didn’t die.

Jim thought Murray should have died in the crash because no rescuer could find him.

However, not only was Murray alive, but he had also appeared at the press conference.

Jim never expected Murray to appear unscathed.

He had been planning for so long and was about to succeed. He couldn’t accept failure.

Murray glanced at Jim coldly and asked, "What? You don’t want to see me?"

"How could that be? Murray, I’m so happy that you came back." Jim suppressed his anger and patted Murray on the shoulder hypocritically. "I sent a lot of people to find you when you were missing. Now that you are fine, I am relieved."

"Then, the press conference is canceled!" Murray looked around and said indifferently.
