Chapter 51: She Is the General Manager?

Chapter 51: She Is the General Manager?

Victoria's words instantly sparked heated discussion.

Royce looked Victoria up and down with eyes full of doubt.

Victoria said she would be the future general manager of Maplewood Hotel?

Did she escape from a mental hospital? How old was she, and she already wanted to be the general manager of such a big hotel?

"Victoria, don't talk nonsense. Maplewood Hotel is a business under the Hughes Group. The promotion and appointment of the general manager follows a whole set of work procedures."

"How old are you to fantasize about becoming general manager? I suggest you get lost and go back to wherever you came from, or I'll call the police on you."

Royce widened his eyes, trying to intimidate Victoria.

He had his own plans. Billy had brought such a huge disaster to Maplewood Hotel that Charles would definitely fire Billy. Then he would very likely become the new general manager.

Now Victoria was jumping out saying she was the general manager. At his age, he couldn't let Victoria suppress him.

"Call the police on me? Royce, go ahead and call the police. It won't do anything to me."

"But before you call the police, let me show everyone what I have in my hands."

"Let's see whether I can become the general manager of Maplewood Hotel or not."

After Victoria finished speaking, she handed the documents in her hand to Grant, signaling him to display these things in front of everyone through the projector.

These documents made everyone's eyes widen.

First was the hotel's legal representative change certificate and the new certificate after the change, all bearing Victoria's name.

Next was the holder of all shares of Maplewood Hotel. Except for Nora's ten percent stake, the remaining ninety percent was all under Victoria's name.

Put simply, Victoria was not only the legal representative of Maplewood Hotel but also the largest shareholder of Maplewood Hotel.

If she wanted to be the general manager, she could be. If she didn't want to, she could just point at someone and that would be the new general manager.

In short, this hotel now belonged exclusively to Victoria. She held the power of life and death over Maplewood Hotel.

Looking at the documents displayed on the projector, Grant broke out in a cold sweat. He was secretly relieved that his decision to side with Victoria was the right one.

Royce and several vice presidents were so shocked by these documents that they didn't know what to say.

Victoria, such a young girl, was actually the legal representative of Maplewood Hotel and held ninety percent of the shares? If he remembered correctly, Charles used to own part of the hotel's shares.

What was going on?

What was the relationship between this young girl called Victoria and Charles?

After giving everyone time to digest the information, Victoria sat down again.

She said, "Everyone, I know you're all wondering why someone as young as me became the legal representative of Maplewood Hotel and holds ninety percent of the shares."

"Maplewood Hotel is the inheritance my mother left me. Because I was still young, my father Charles has been managing it for me."

"Now that I've grown up, Maplewood Hotel should return to my hands. If anyone has questions, you can call my father Charles and ask him properly whether Maplewood Hotel belongs to me now or not."

Victoria's words left everyone looking at each other.

Especially Royce. After being stunned for half a minute, he finally picked up his phone.

Others might accept Victoria's identity as general manager, but he couldn't.

He was the deputy general manager after all.

As Charles's phone rang, Royce put on a smiling face.

"Mr. Hughes, this is Royce."

Charles's very displeased voice came through.

"If you have something to say, say it."

"Mr. Hughes, it's like this. There's a young girl now, called Victoria, who says she holds ninety percent of Maplewood Hotel's shares and wants to be the general manager of Maplewood Hotel. Do you know about this?"

Royce asked Charles tentatively over the phone.

In the past, Charles would definitely have lost his temper and cursed Victoria out over the phone.

But the situation was different now. Victoria was William's wife, and the Ashford family was not someone he could afford to offend.

Plus, Victoria held too many shares and could indeed single-handedly control Maplewood Hotel.

Eager to repair his relationship with Victoria, Charles, after weighing the pros and cons, finally defended Victoria in front of outsiders for the first time.

He said to Royce, "Royce, Victoria is my daughter, my biological daughter."

"Maplewood Hotel was originally the property left by her mother and should be returned to her hands. In the future, after she takes office as the hotel's general manager, you executives need to wholeheartedly support her work and strive to make Maplewood Hotel bigger and stronger."

"If I hear that any of you dare to bully my daughter, don't blame me for cutting ties with you."

Charles's words made Royce smack his lips.

He put on a smiling face and readily agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Hughes, rest assured."

After this phone call ended, everyone knew Victoria's identity. Grant was quite surprised. He never expected that Victoria, such an unknown person, would actually be Charles's daughter.

Thinking about how he had given her such a hard time when she first arrived at the administrative department, Grant felt a wave of fear.

Fortunately, he had changed his work direction in time. Now Victoria had made him office director again. In the future, he had to be truly loyal to Victoria.

Cecil, who had been sitting in the corner without speaking, was also a senior executive at Maplewood Hotel. After confirming Victoria's identity, he immediately changed direction.

He was the first to stand up and express his attitude to Victoria.

"Ms. Hughes, I'm Cecil. From now on, under your leadership, I will definitely work hard and strive to bring greater benefits to Maplewood Hotel."

The other vice presidents, seeing Cecil's reaction, also started calling Victoria Ms. Hughes.

Finally, knowing the situation couldn't be reversed, Royce had to accept his fate.

However, he was still somewhat unwilling and started creating difficulties for Victoria.

"Ms. Hughes, now that you're the general manager of Maplewood Hotel, the former general manager Billy caused such a huge mess and brought considerable problems to our Maplewood Hotel. May I ask, how will you handle this matter?"

"Being a general manager requires some real ability. Otherwise, it's hard to win people's respect, right?"

Royce was egging on the executives in the meeting room to create difficulties for Victoria.

Getting them to acknowledge Victoria's identity was easy, but whether she could do well as general manager would depend on Victoria's abilities.
