Chapter 112
Kelly’s POV
55 gushers
I’m wearing a black business attire while staring at my own reflection in the mirror. This is the day that I’m going to take back everything. After the meeting with the shareholders, I have a scheduled interview with the media. Klay’s face was spread by the police as a wanted criminal and since he’s my stepbrother, my name was dragged with him. In Addition to the fact that Amanda is still in prison for the murder of my father, the only way to clear my name is to tell the truth to the public.
The door swung open, and my daughter, wearing a pink dress and bunny hairband, entered. Behind her was Emily, chewing a gum.
“You know you should get yourself a car. I’m not your driver.”
I faced her and smiled. “Thanks, Emily.”
She rolled her eyes and looked at my daughter. “Love, your mommy has a meeting today, so you’re coming with me. Is that okay?”
I looked at Emily worriedly. “Emily, Klay is still…”
She smiled and I was immediately assured by her smile. “It’s better she’s with me while you deal with your problems. Don’t worry, I have plenty of bodyguards.”
I took a deep breath and walked towards them. I squatted in front of Snow and caressed her cheek. “Do you mind going with Aunt Em for a while, sweetie?”
She smiled sweetly. “Aunt Em is very nice, mommy. She helped me doll up and I like her style!”
I chuckled and looked at Emily. She’s smirking arrogantly as if telling me some words like ‘I told you so‘
“Alright!” I stood straight and looked at Emily. “Though you still have to send me to the company.”
“Whatever! Come on, love. I’m excited to shop with you.”
Emily held Snow’s hand as they walked away together and I watched them. I don’t know what’s the story behind Emily’s rage towards Klay, but I think it’s related to Klay’s twin. The world is truly so small. We are all connected in some way.
When I entered the company, everyone’s eyes were on me. It’s been so long since I got this much attention and it’s making me uncomfortable. I lifted my chin and walked straight to the conference room. The shareholders and other important employees are already waiting for me. I believed Emily briefed them about me already so they know me.
I stood in the middle front as I looked at every one of them. “Good morning. I’m Kelly Monroe and I believed you knew me already?”
One of me male shareholders lifted his arm. “You were the vice president of ADE Company before, am I right?”

I nodded. “Yes!”

“Then, we have no objection to you taking over the highest position. However, I’m afraid your stepbrother’s and stepmother’s reputation will ruin your name and the company.”
“I have a press conference after this, Sir. I will reveal the truth and will clear my name.”
The female shareholder lifted her arm. “I learned about how you handled your position as the previous VP of ADE Company, Miss Monroe. But this company is already falling. Can you really save this?”
I took a flash drive from my bag and handed it to the technical officer sitting in the front, operating the laptop and TV in front.
“This is why I thought of an effective way to save this company.”
I grabbed the remote of the TV and showed my presentation.
“Rebranding?”
I nodded as I looked at them. I pushed my hand inside the pocket of my pants and stood confidently in front of them. “The company is falling, as you said. Rebranding would be the best solution to this. Building a strong relationship with the target market, envisioning the future and investing in a new brand identity…”
I pressed the remote again, showing the name, mission, vision, goal and objectives of the new identity as I slowly looked at the shareholders again. “…this company will rise from its current position in the industry.”
“How can you guarantee that this will work, Miss Monroe? And rebranding will cost much. We need a new model, launch a new product, and everything.”
“The cost of rebranding is nothing compared to how much we are losing. We have a budget for our expenses and instead of launching more products to get our target market’s attention, we will relaunch the products that top the sales…with a new brand identity.”
“I will never lose my father’s hardwoks,” I added as I clenched my jaws.
It’s been so long since I stood in front of the important people in a company and I admit I’m nervous. I just thought about this idea last night and I admit it lacks something. However, I’m praying they would agree to what I want because if not, I have to think of another way to save my father’s company.
I swallowed hard as the shareholders answered me with a deafening silence. I thought I’m gonna fail, so I was shocked when they started clapping.
The oldest shareholder laughed happily as he clapped. “What can I expect from a Monroe? Your father was a monster in business, Miss Monroe. I’m glad you want to continue his legacy.”
I smiled as I was able to breathe properly. Their smiles are making me so happy. My eyes were almost tearing up in front of them as I lifted my chin and shook their hands.
The female shareholder smiled at me as she shook my hand. “I’m not really convinced with your idea, Miss Monroe. However, it’s your conviction that convinced me. Believing in the company and in your capability are a true leader’s good trait.”

I nodded. “Thank you, madame.”
See that, dad? I know you’re proud of me. I can make you even more proud. Just wait…
Be youchers
After the meeting, I went to the press conference and answered the questions that were thrown at me. I did not hide anything except from the fact that I had a relationship with Klay. Revealing that would create a new problem and that’s the last thing that I want while redeeming my name and my father’s hardworks.
