"Well, even if you're not with Benjamin, I will always treat you like a sister," Geraldine added.As soon as she said that, there was a knock on the office door. Grace set aside her bowl, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said, "Come in."Timothy entered the office, carrying a stack of documents. Spotting another person in the room, he resumed his usual serious demeanor. "Ms. Lewis, these documents need your approval."Grace nodded slightly. "Just put them on my desk.""Yes, Ms. Lewis."Geraldine was shocked to see Timothy. "Timothy, what are you doing here?"Upon hearing this, Timothy raised his eyes and looked at Geraldine. As Benjamin's long-time friend, how could he not recognize Geraldine? Moreover, he knew one of her secrets.With a faint smile, Timothy replied, "I work at Amirate Corporation!"Geraldine was really surprised.Why was the heir of the Donegan family willing to work at Amirate Corporation instead of the prestigious Donegan Enterprises? Geraldine want
"Now that you have that in hand, things are about to get more interesting …"After hanging, Geraldine casually played with her phone, and her eyes shimmered excitedly. She hadn't expected that a visit to Grace's company would be so fruitful.She smirked, thinking, "Oh, Grace! Get ready to accept your loss at tomorrow's bidding!"…After Geraldine left, Timothy seized the opportunity to return to Grace's office. He appeared more serious than usual and inquired, "Grace, what was Geraldine doing here?"Grace looked up at him and teased, "Seems like you're quite concerned about her?"Timothy scoffed, "Concerned about her? She's not worthy."He then approached Grace with an unprecedented seriousness in his gaze."Milady, Geraldine is very mischievous. We should be careful."His gaze shifted to the side, where the documents were."As everyone knows, the Dunhill project has a huge profit margin. Many people are eyeing it. I'm afraid Geraldine might do something …"Upon hearing hi
Grace smiled and extended her hand. "Hello, Mr. Jackson!""Ms. Lewis, you're truly outstanding. Under your leadership, Amirate Corporation is gradually reaching new heights.""Thank you, Mr. Jackson.""You're here for the Dunhill Project as well? Our companies are going to compete head-to-head today.""We're all just playing to our strengths, you know?"With a sly smile, Timothy replied, "Well then, Mr. Jackson, let's wait and see."The atmosphere tensed up. Grace sensed Timothy's hostility toward Liam."Sure. We'll meet later." Liam glanced meaningfully at Grace before leaving confidently."If I'm not mistaken, he's our biggest competitor today," Grace said calmly.Impressed by Grace's insight, Timothy teased, "Milady, I find myself admiring you more and more.""Stop flattering and speak sensibly.""I'm speaking the truth."Timothy looked disdainfully at Liam and continued, "Seeing his confident behavior, if he gets what he wants, his pride will skyrocket.""That's not ne
Geraldine was genuinely surprised and somewhat uneasy, but she still mustered a greeting to Grace. "What a coincidence, Grace! Are you also participating in the bidding?"Grace chuckled lightly and replied, "It's for our company's new project. Take a look. By the way, Ms. Geraldine, when did you start working at Jackson Realty?"Geraldine was astonished that Grace knew about this. Had Grace also learned about the stolen data?Geraldine felt nervous. She clutched her clothes and smiled. "I've been working there for quite some time. It's just that you didn't know."Grace acknowledged with an "oh" and looked at herself in the mirror."The Dunhill project is indeed excellent. It involves large-scale crude oil and mining projects, ensuring profits for the company for at least the next five years," Grace commented.Geraldine felt a sense of pride upon hearing this."Really? With such a huge profit margin, we won't have to worry about business performance for the next five years if we
Geraldine was intimidated by Liam's imposing demeanor and dared not take another breath. When she returned to the hall, the bid was already underway."Alright, next, we will proceed with Project 0781. The participating companies are Hawkins Group, Amirate Corporation, Jackson Realty, and Draco Corporation ..."The host flipped through the cards in his hand and concluded, "The winning enterprise for this project is Amirate Corporation. Congratulations!"Grace and Timothy stood up as the host's words fell, and enthusiastic applause erupted in the hall.After the bid was over, Liam called the supplier. "Mr. Grey, there may be some changes in our cooperation. Can you terminate the agreement?""What? A breach of contract penalty of five million dollars? Mr. Grey, can we discuss this matter?"After the other party had finished speaking, Liam hung up the phone, and the beeping sound echoed in the handset. Liam fumed in frustration. "Damn it, these bastards!"Gerladine observed him ca
Geraldine tried to snatch Grace's phone.However, she missed the mark, as Grace deftly avoided her."Stealing company secrets can lead to imprisonment. If I hand this video over to the police, will they arrest you?" Grace said with a sly smile.Geraldine looked at her in disbelief, her eyes filling with panic. She realized something and quickly changed her expression, pleading, "Grace, please ... please don't!"If Grace gave it to the police, her life would be over!"I'm begging you, Grace! Don't give it to the police. I was truly wrong ..." Geraldine continued pleading incessantly, hoping Grace would spare her.Timothy smirked as he watched from the side, with a touch of mockery in the corner of his mouth. "Why take such risks in the first place? Ms. Geraldine, this probably isn't your first time, right?"Geraldine couldn't afford to think about that now. She urgently pulled Grace's arm, lowering herself. "Grace, I know you're the best. I beg you, give me a chance! I promise
Aaron rarely came to Pamore. But he had suddenly shown up today with no prior notice. So she asked directly, "Aaron, do you have any business in Pamore?"Aaron remained silent and handed a folder to her. "Look! This is the material for bail that Benjamin submitted to the local detention center, as well as the supplementary material for a shortened sentence. "All of this is about Yvonne. It's obvious that his goal is to get Yvonne out of jail." This was news to Grace. There hadn't even been any signs of this before. Grace's eyes became cold as she flipped through the documents. "Benjamin is surprisingly sentimental. He's being very quick to get the person he misses out.""Yvonne has done so many unforgivably immoral things, it won't be easy to get her out." Grace's gaze darkened, and she said, "I've already intervened, but Benjamin's attitude is very aggressive. You could say that he's putting in the utmost effort for Yvonne."After a pause, Aaron asked, "Gracie, what I
"Gracie, remember this. You shouldn't doubt yourself just because of one failed relationship. In my opinion, you're worthy of the best."Grace's heart warmed at his words. "I know, Aaron. It's so good to have all of you."Aaron reached out and ruffled her hair. "What's with you being so formal? In matters of the heart, it's how you feel that counts. But you also have to face your own heart. Don't miss the person who truly loves you."Grace nodded, but she felt that Aaron was being unusually talkative today. "Aaron, when did you become such a gossip?""Have I? I'm just showing concern for you. After all, we can't be careless with matters that concern your lifelong happiness. Since I've been deceived once, I should learn my lesson. "You can't fall down in the same place twice. As long as that person isn't Benjamin, no matter who you end up with, our entire family will support you."Aaron's words made his stance clear. It was also what the rest of their family thought. Grace murm
