” Xavier Gallagher?”

A sudden voice in the room broke the stalemate.

Xavier Gallagher, Michael Gallagher’s brother.

The once dead man appeared out of nowhere!

“Weren’t you burned to death? How are you still alive?!”

“I remember the video released in the news back then, the man was burned to ashes. How could he possibly still be alive? This person is definitely not Xavier Gallagher! He must be an imposter!”

Whispers and gasps filled the room, everyone looking pale and frightened.

“There might be people who look the same in this world, and besides, with the advancement of technology, as long as there is enough money, let alone plastic surgery, cloning someone is not difficult.”

Someone muttered these words, calming everyone’s nerves.

Resurrecting from the dead is far too terrifying, and “imposter” is a more plausible explanation.

“If you’re not Xavier Gallagher, then who are you?” Mr. Lambert’s emotions gradually stabilized.

He had worked in the company for decades and seen many ups and downs, but witnessing Xavier Gallagher coming back from the dead was a first for him.

Once a person is dead, how can they be alive again?

Mr. Lambert’s face turned from pale to red, embarrassed to be frightened by an imposter.

Molly Walker watched the scene with a puzzled frown, her heart racing.

She felt that this man might not be an imposter.

Even if the man was fake, Isabelle’s emotions were not. The genuine sense of security and happiness on her face when she held onto this man couldn’t be faked.

This man could very well be the real Xavier Gallagher!

At the foot of the Gallagher Tower, a black car was parked.

Jake Leaford sat in the driver’s seat, squinting at the big screen in the middle of the car, tuning in to the live broadcast of the shareholders’ meeting. Perhaps to show fairness, the election for the Chairman was unexpectedly broadcasted live.

“Damn it, Xavier Gallagher is actually not dead!”

As soon as Xavier Gallagher appeared, Jake Leaford fiercely drew in a puff of smoke, his eyes widening like copper bells.

The atmosphere in the car was eerily silent, as a few snowflakes landed on the car window, cold and absurd.

In the passenger seat, Michael Gallagher’s gaze was deep, a black mask covering most of his face. As soon as Xavier Gallagher appeared, his bony fingers gripped into a fist.

He didn’t die, how could he not be dead?!

His father had committed suicide for his older brother; his mother had left with regrets.

And his good big brother had been hiding in the shadows all this time, silently watching him live in guilt for so many years.

“What a show-off, really good at pretending!” Jake Leaford couldn’t help but swear.

All these years, he had seen Michael Gallagher live shackled by guilt, even turning a blind eye to protecting Isabelle for Xavier’s sake.

But this Xavier Gallagher, not only was he not dead, he was also involved with Isabelle.

“Do you think Isabelle has been in contact with him all along?”

Jake Leaford hesitated, then immediately regretted asking the question—wasn’t the truth right in front of him?

Seeing Michael Gallagher’s eyes filled with red bloodshot veins, he didn’t dare ask any more doubts.

It was obvious that the current Xavier Gallagher was no longer the Xavier Gallagher from back then.

In the CEO’s office of the Gallagher Group, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

“Uncle Liu, how can you not recognize me?” Xavier Gallagher approached Mr. Lambert with a warm smile on his face. “I remember you gave me a computer when I ranked first in middle school. That was my first computer, and I remember it clearly.”

At these words, Mr. Lambert’s eyes widened, and his body began to tremble.

Yes, he had given a computer to Xavier Gallagher before!

This person isn’t a fake, but the real Xavier Gallagher!

“You  you  you’re not dead?”

Who would have thought that someone who had been dead for five years could come back to life?!

“Yes, I am not dead. I am Xavier Gallagher, Milo Gallagher’s son, and Michael Gallagher’s brother.” Xavier straightened his back, grinning coldly, “After the fire, I was saved by someone, but my face was ruined. It wasn’t until this year that my face was fully restored. Otherwise, even if I stood before you, you would call me an imposter.”

“If you’re not dead, why didn’t you tell everyone sooner, but choose to appear now?” Mr. Lambert leaned on a chair with suspicion in his tone, “What is your hidden purpose?”

“I have no hidden purpose. If my brother were still alive, I would have stayed hidden forever. But now that he is dead, I must come forward, otherwise, the company might fall into the hands of outsiders.”

After finishing speaking, Xavier cast a deep look at Molly Walker, walked over to her side, and said to her assistant, Brian Lewis, who was standing beside her: “You were my brother’s assistant, right? From now on, you’ll be my assistant.”

Xavier’s gaze casually took in the speech draft in front of Molly. His slender fingers pinched it and skimmed through it, snickering: “Even the competition speech needs someone else to write it? And you still fantasize about becoming the Chairman of the company?”

Molly frowned as she saw him discard her speech.

Xavier was obviously targeting her.

“Sir, if I’m not mistaken, there’s no Xavier Gallagher in the world anymore.”

Molly slightly raised her chin and laughed coldly.

Her laugh was ethereal, as she seemed untouched by worldly concerns, pure and beautiful.

Her bright red lips formed a gorgeous smile, her tone ice-cold: “You claim to be Xavier Gallagher, but he is already dead. The current Xavier Gallagher is an illegal immigrant. Illegal immigrants have no eligibility to compete for the chairman’s position of Gallagher Group.”

The words “illegal immigrant” were like a heavy bomb, exploding in everyone’s ears.

Yes, Xavier Gallagher had long been dead, and the current Xavier Gallagher was an illegal immigrant, not even recognized by the police.

Being an illegal immigrant, he had no shares and no eligibility to run for the position.

Xavier’s eyes suddenly darkened, their depths filled with disdain, “Relying on my mother’s little shares to aspire to be the chairman? You’re dreaming.”

Molly’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

If Xavier had appeared under normal circumstances, she would have gracefully stepped aside. But now, it was clear that he harbored a personal grudge against her.

What grudge? Sending Isabelle Richardson to prison.

Xavier must not become the chairman of Gallagher Group now; otherwise, with the power and money of the chairman, it would not be difficult for Isabelle to stage a switcheroo and get out.

Michael had been blackmailed by Isabelle for so many years out of guilt; if he found out his brother was still alive, who knew what he would feel?

Xavier didn’t appear while Michael was alive; now that Michael was dead, he came to run for the chairman’s position. Molly had no favorable impressions of him any longer.

“I’m sorry, but your words don’t matter.” Molly stood up, smiling confidently, “Mr. Lewis has already ruined the speech he wrote for me. As the chairman of Gallagher, improvising a speech is the most basic requirement. Mr. Lewis, may I begin now?”

Brian Lewis was the host of the meeting.

Seeing Molly prepared to improvise her speech, Brian smiled and nodded, “Of course, the baby in your belly is Mr. Gallagher’s. You are fully qualified to be the chairman.”

Everyone’s expressions varied as they focused their attention on Molly’s belly.

Her baby was Michael Gallagher’s?!

They wouldn’t forget that this woman had been won by Mr. Gallagher at the cost of his life.

It would be more accurate to say that her unborn child was more qualified to be the chairman than her.

Now she wanted to be the chairman, and they should give her the respect she deserved, as well as the respect for the baby inside her.

“Miss Walker, start your speech.” The one who said this was the oldest, Mr. Lambert.

They wanted to see the abilities of this woman. If she was just an empty pretty face, she wouldn’t have any ground in this company, let alone her baby.

This time, it was an opportunity and a challenge.
