rising from the ashes Chapter 538 rising from the ashes Chapter 538 Tiana scanned the room , her icy gaze sweeping over the high ranking executives , and not one of them dared to meet her eyes .
One final matter effective immediately , Ill take over the position of CEO at Rhodes Corporation , she announced , her tone devoid of emotion .
And if there are any more incompetents like Troy causing chaos , I wont just send them to prison .
Ill make sure theyre permanently dealt with .
Her cold words sent shivers through the room , leaving the executives visibly uneasy .
The ones who had aligned themselves with Michael looked particularly pale , their faces betraying their mounting anxiety .
Tiana stepping in as CEO spelled doom for Michael , and if he lost power , they knew they would suffer alongside him .
Michaels expression darkened as he forced himself to speak .
Aunt Tiana , if youre taking over as CEO … then what happens to me ? Tiana waved dismissively .
Youll return to your previous role as vice CEO and continue overseeing the departments youve been managing .
Once the Pharmaceutical Divisions crisis is resolved, you and Lauren can compete for the CEO position .
Michaels fists clenched , and his voice grew sharp .
Aunt Tiana , thats unfair .
Tiana did not even flinch at his protest , responding with a chilling calmness .
If you think its unfair , youre welcome to resign and head to Blumedale immediately .

Oh , Aunt Tiana , you must be joking .
Im far too inexperienced to take on such a significant task in Blumedale .
Id rather stay here in Jayrodale and ensure the stability of Rhodes Corporation .
Blumedale was a battleground where the Rhodes family struggled to gain a foothold , and Michael had no interest in being sent there as cannon fodder .
Stories of young family members collapsing under pressure or worse , ending up in psychiatric wards made it clear that the city was no place for the faint of heart .
Here in Jayrodale , Michael was a big fish in a small pond , but in Blumedale , he would be little more than prey .
Tiana turned her attention to the gathered executives her voice cutting through the silence .
Ive laid out my decisions .
If anyone has objections , now is the time to speak .
A chorus of hurried replies followed , each more deferential than the last : We fully support your decisions , Mrs.
Rhodes ! Mrs.
Rhodes , your leadership is exactly what this company needs ! Under your guidance , Rhodes Corporation is sure to reach new heights ! Though the words were effusive , Tianas expression remained cold and unreadable .
Her stoicism made 1/2 +25 BONUS rising from the ashes Chapter 538 it impossible to tell if she appreciated their flattery or found it tiresome .
Suddenly , Andrews voice cut through the air , stark and unexpected .
I have to say , Mrs.
Rhodes , I find your decisions somewhat unfair .
The room fell silent .
Every head turned toward Andrew in stunned disbelief .
He continued , unfazed by the shocked stares .
Your actions lack balance .
You fail to reward those who deserve recognition while punishing others far too harshly .
The silence deepened as the room collectively held its breath .
Even Lauren and Michael stared at Andrew in astonishment , unsure whether he was brave or just outright reckless for questioning the matriarch of the Rhodes family .
