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
If things continued to progress at this rate, there was a high chance that Grace would win the bet. But Samuel wouldn't admit defeat until the final moment. "What are you so anxious about? Isn't there still about half a year left? Getting a project done is difficult, but destroying a project is easy."Samuel's gaze darkened. He seemed to have resolved to burn all his bridges. He had been in the business world for a long time, and he wasn't about to lose to a young woman who had just started out. "We have to find a way to get rid of that Timothy fellow.""Director Walker, I have an idea about that."Samuel raised his eyebrows, looking pleasantly surprised. "Tell me what your idea is."Zane leaned close to his ear and said something in a low voice. Samuel was all smiles as he said, "It looks like you've learned a lot through all your years with me. Let's do it as you've planned.""Yes, Director Walker."…That night, Grace had arranged a celebratory party for Timothy at the Ph
"Go and get the phone of the woman called Grace …"As soon as the order was given, a few young gangsters surged forward and smashed the car's windows with hammers. With a bang, the car windows shattered into pieces, showering Grace with shards of glass. With a piercing sound, the car's alarm system began to wail. "You're Grace! Give me your phone."The gangsters stuck their heads in through the window pane to grab Grace's phone out of her hand. Grace leaned sideways to dodge them and kicked the man's head accurately and firmly. Immediately, blood began spurting from his nose. "What are you trying to do in broad daylight?"The man was in pain as he covered his face. "You bitch! Watch me kick your ass."He moved forward as soon as he finished speaking. But before he could, a few sleek black cars rushed up behind him. As the cars' brakes squealed to a stop, the young gangsters were immediately surrounded by well-trained bodyguards. They were like a heavenly army that had a
At Hawkins Manor, Geraldine was pacing back and forth with her phone in hand, looking a little anxious. There were drops of sweat on her nose. The clock on the wall was already pointing to 11:00 pm, but there was still no news from that bunch of young gangsters. Geraldine had completely lost patience and was about to change her shoes to go out. At that moment, she heard the sound of motorcycles from outside. Looking pleased, she hurriedly opened the door. "Tiger, how did things go?"Tiger was the lead gangster. He took off his helmet and looked expressionlessly at Geraldine before saying, "I'm sorry, Ms. Geraldine."Geraldine was lost for a moment and asked quickly, "Why are you apologizing? Didn't it go well? That's impossible! There's so many of you, and you couldn't deal with a single, frail woman?"Tiger was lost for words. "Ms. Geraldine, are you sure that you didn't get the wrong information?""What do you mean by that?""I'm sorry, Ms. Geraldine. I'll return the 200
"Geraldine isn't young anymore. How could she be so careless? I think this will be a good lesson for her.""Mom, Geraldine is my only daughter! If she goes to jail, how will I live?"Elizabeth wasn't moved by that. "She's already an adult and has to face the consequences of her actions."Titus hadn't expected that Elizabeth would be so stubborn. "Mom, if anything happens to Geraldine, then I won't live either. If you want to lose a son at your old age, then that's your choice."After tossing these words at her, Titus stormed out angrily.Elizabeth in resignation. In the end, she had no choice but to look for Benjamin. "Benjamin, could you talk to Grace about this? She has a soft heart. Perhaps you could discuss if there's any way to settle this?"Benjamin had already changed into a new suit. His expression was cold as he looked straight ahead. "Grandma, let's hand this matter over to the legal department and let them handle it."He couldn't bring himself to go to Grace and ask
