Chapter 274 The Gold Group's Heir

"Master Martin James, you must not blame the wrong person. Besides, you don't have any evidence. I am helping Colby Gracie, but I am never involved in this kind of thing. I am a good guy," Elmer Gracie said as he showed an innocent look on his face.

Elmer Gracie kept his emotions steady.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want to admit it."

Martin James stared at Elmer Gracie.

When Elmer Gracie felt Martin James's gaze, he looked up at him and he was shocked to see the look on Martin James' face. His expression was so menacing that he didn't look like a twenty-two-year-old man.

Morgan Gracie didn't stop Martin James from intimidating Elmer Gracie. Besides, he had been wronged yesterday, and now that the truth had come out, it was time for him to vent out.

However, Morgan Gracie drew the attention of the people inside the conference room, "Now that the truth had been revealed, then I believe I should announce my decision to remove Colby Gracie as a Director. Also, I am promoting Martin James as the Vice President of the Gold Group." Morgan Gracie announced.

When Morgan Gracie had finished saying those words, a thunderous applause had ringed out in the conference room.

At that time, no one was against Moran Gracie's announcement.

No one had also stood up to speak for Colby Gracie.

It was clear that all the executives who were present that day were completely in favor of Martin James.

It was unlikely for Colby Gracie to compete against him.

After the meeting, Morgan Gracie had asked Martin James to visit his office, then he left the conference room.

After Morgan Gracie left the conference room, many executives got up and they walked up to Martin James.

"Mister James, I am Boyce Rosalind, and I am the group's human resources director. Mister James, just tell me if you need anything, I promise that I will do my best to help you."

"Mister James, I'm the engineering director of the Gold Group. You can always approach me if you need any advice."

"Mister James, I'm the group's executive director, and I'd like to have a chat with you sometime."

Many of the group's top executives came to Martin James to show their support.

When Martin James and Colby Gracie fought, most of those executives were on the neutral side. Now that the truth was revealed and everything had been clear to them, they naturally rushed to Martin James.

Martin James replied to them with a smile on his face.

Martin James was once isolated at gold group headquarters, but at that many executives had acknowledge him.

Bowen Gracie who was the director of operations, had also walked up to Martin James with a smile on his face.

Bowen Gracie was part of the Gracie Family, and he was previously supporting Colby Gracie.

"Mister James, I know that I was opposing you at first and I was on Colby Gracie's side, that's why I deeply regret it. I hope that you are willing to work with me in the future," Bowen Gracie said and he was all smiles.

Elmer Gracie and several members of the Gracie Family had a dismayed expression on their face when they saw that Bowen Gracie was now on Martin James' side.

Todd Hobbes, the group's general manager, also came to Martin James, "Mister James, congratulations on your promotion as the Vice President of the Group."

"Mister Hobbes you are our company's elder, and I have great respect for you. I hope you will teach me about the company in the future," Martin James replied politely.

Todd Hobbes was not only the elder of the Gold Group, but he was also one of Mister Gracie's most trusted people. He had a high position in the Gold Group and his skills were outstanding.

Everyone was secretly jealous that even Todd Hobbes had offered to congratulate Martin James.

When Elmer Gracie and others saw interaction between the two, their faces became even more dismayed.

After coming out of the conference room, Martin James quickly informed Renee James and Cathy Sidney about the good news.

The two were naturally delighted when they learned that Colby Gracie had been dismissed and that Martin James had been promoted as the Vice President of the Gold Group.

Now that the crisis has been cleared, Martin James had renewed his invitation to Cathy Sidney to who come to Gold Group after her mother was discharged from the hospital.

At Morgan Gracie's office.

Martin James pushed opened the door into the office.

"Martin's your here, sit down," Morgan Gracie looked up with a smile on his face.

Martin James walked all the way to Morgan Gracie's desk and he sat down opposite to him.

"Martin, all this time, you've been wronged," Morgan Gracie said kindly.

"Yes it's true that I was wronged. I'm had suffered, but it taught me a lot of lessons," Martin James said.

"If you want to think of it that way then that's fine," Morgan Gracie nodded with satisfaction.

"After work in the afternoon, I'll take you to see someone," Morgan Gracie continued.

"Really? Who are we seeing later?" Martin James asked curiously.

Martin James guessed that the person that they would meet later was certainly not an average person wasn't it?

"I've told you before that I have a lot of strong connections behind me, so I'm not afraid of families like the Birrell Family when it comes to issues in business. I'm going to introduce you to that strong connection who was behind me. I think now is the right time for you to get to know that person," Morgan Gracie said.

"I see what you mean Morgan," Martin James looked a little forward to being introduced to whoever that person was.

If his grandfather wanted to introduce him to his strongest connection, then it meant that there was a strong chance that his grandfather would entrust the Gold Group to him.

"If I may add, in a few days there will be a high-end party, and JD celebrities will attend there. I am encouraging you to participate as you could meet a lot of possible connections there," Morgan Gracie said.

Morgan Gracie seemed to help Martin James pave the way.

"Okay Morgan," Martin James nodded.

"Martin, since it's still early in the day, you should go and buy some formal clothes. You can't dress too casually at that party," Morgan Gracie said with a polite smile.

"Well, I'll do that" Martin James scratched his head awkwardly.

Martin James was used to dressing up casually.

After coming out of the company, Martin James drove straight to the mall, since Morgan Gracie had advised him to buy some formal clothes.

Inside the car.

Martin James turned on the radio to play some music while driving.

"Recently, the domestic music industry had welcomed a new artist. The new song that she had released had a broke into the major platforms and it had sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. She is no other that the beautiful, Hedy Julian! It was rumored that her hit song Fake Love Comes True was inspired from a true story. Interesting right?"

"Hedy Julian?"

When Martin James heard the name, he suddenly became interested with that announcement from the radio.

Martin James remembered that he once gave a bouquet of flower to Hedy Julian when they were still in school. Martin James still hadn't forgotten her!

However, Hedy Julian left C City some time ago, and since then Martin James had not heard from her. All he knows was she travelled to the capital to pursue her dream.

It should be the same name. Martin James might only be mistaken, and the person that person might only have the same name with the Hedy Julian he knew.

Suddenly, the song 'Fake Love Come True' was played on the radio.

"It's Hedy Julian! It's really her!"

When Martin James heard the song, he immediately recognized Hedy Julian's voice.

"She actually entered the music world. Is that what she was talking about when she said that she was going to the capital in search of a dream?" Martin James muttered to himself.

The melody of the song was beautiful, and the lyrics of the song clearly tell a story.

However, Martin James felt that the man Hedy Julian was singing about seemed to be him.

Martin James parked his car on the side of the road, then he took out his cell phone and he searched Hedy Julian's number on his phone.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Martin James dialed Hedy Julian's number.

"I'm sorry, but the number you're calling is an invalid number," the operator at the other end of the line said.

"Invalid number?" Had Hedy Julian changed her number? She had lived a long time in the capital, and she became famous so she might have changed her number.

Martin James smiled bitterly.

The woman that he once knew was now out of touch.

After a moment of silence, Martin James muttered, "At least she had found her own way, and she had achieved her dreams. I'm still glad that she became successful."

After that, Martin James had set the song "Fake Love Comes True" as a single loop as he continued to drive.

Although the people like him who once knew Hedy Julian couldn't talk to her on the phone anymore, at least they could still hear her through her singing.

Twenty minutes later, he had arrived at the Purple Night Square.

That place was a very commercial square.

Martin James drove his car to the square's parking lot.

He drove around the parking lot for several laps, but he didn't see any parking space available.

After driving a few more laps, he finally found a parking space.

Martin James immediately drove towards the direction where there was an available parking space. However, there was another car that had blocked his way.
