A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 344

Adrian said, "Mr. Shaw, Mr. Gray added that the Shaw and Gray families would need to support each other in the future. Mr. Xavier must have the ability to run a company as your successor.

"Otherwise, no matter how many resources you provide, it would all be useless."

William was displeased. He wasn't ready to hand over the company just yet because he felt that Xavier was still young. However, Theo raised a good point—Xavier was now an adult, and it was time for him to start learning.

Sensing his hesitation, Adrian continued to persuade him. "Mr. Gray has prepared several significant projects for Mr. Xavier if he can prove himself with this one."

William's eyes lit up in excitement.

Any project that the Gray Corporation considered significant was bound to be highly profitable.

"Xavier has indeed grown up. It's time for him to start preparing to take over the company. I'll leave this collaboration for him," he mentioned, making it sound like a noble decision.

With a smile, Adrian withdrew his hand. Once William had signed the contract, he collected one of the copies and gestured to the man behind him. "Mr. Shaw, this is the co-lead for this project. He will be working directly with Mr. Xavier."

William quickly had someone call Xavier up. After introductions were made, he took on a lofty demeanor and invited Adrian to stay for dinner.

In Adrian's eyes, there was no such thing as a free meal. Using unfinished work as an excuse, he excused himself.

With William's words still echoing in his mind, Xavier returned to his desk with the project documents.

"You'll be in charge of this project. Make sure you do it well. Theo promised that if you perform well this time, there will be even bigger projects for you in the future..."

Since joining the company, he had learned from others just how precarious the Shaw Corporation's situation was. This project was their lifeline.
