Grace sneered, a chilling intent filling her eyes."Even an assistant can be so arrogant. I find it hard to see Soraya Group's sincerity. But I'll kindly remind you that if you dare to act, you should be prepared to face the consequences."With that, Grace turned to leave.Gina didn't care. In her eyes, Grace was just trying to intimidate her.Having worked in the corporate world for so many years, Gina had seen it all. She didn't take Grace's words seriously.Grace left Soraya Group's office and sat back in the car. She took her phone out to play a game.Meanwhile, there was complete silence in the conference room.Frowning, Xander sat in the main position without saying a word. The entire room's mood dropped to a freezing point.Kenneth wiped the sweat from his forehead and cautiously asked, "Mr. Fulton, do you see any issues with our collaboration?"Xander didn't respond.Instead, he raised his wrist to check his watch.It had been 20 minutes. Why hadn't Grace arrived?A
Vivian remained silent. However, deep in her heart, she pondered the nature of Xander and Grace's relationship. …There was a knock on the car window. Grace looked up to see Xander standing outside the car. It seemed like he had appeared out of nowhere.At this moment, she was in the middle of playing an intense mobile game. Grace looked away and focused on the screen. Her hands moved swiftly and effortlessly, quickly defeating her opponent. As the word "winner" flashed on the screen, Grace finally put down her phone and opened the car door."Xander." Grace pursed her lips, clearly unhappy. Xander's expression softened, and he asked, "What happened? Why are you playing a game in the car?" Grace shrugged and said, "What else could it be? Someone said I didn't deserve to be in the meeting room and kept me outside." As soon as Xander heard that, his face instantly darkened. "It seems they don't want to work with us. In that case, let it be. He got into the car and ins
After Luke and his team had left, Kenneth lost his composure and roared, "What the hell is going on? Who's the idiot that offended Ms. Lewis? Tell me!" Everyone looked at each other and held their breaths. They were facing his full fury. Vivian had never seen Kenneth so angry, and she trembled in fear. "Mr. Williams, I checked the surveillance and found out someone stopped Ms. Lewis outside the meeting room." Kenneth's secretary rushed over and reported. Kenneth's blood boiled. "Who the hell is idiotic enough to stop Ms. Lewis?" The secretary lowered her head and pointed at Gina. "Was it you?"Gina had been singled out. Someone pushed her, making her slip and fall. She ignored the pain as she crawled on the ground, begging Kenneth, "Mr. Williams, it was an accident, I thought—" Kenneth kicked her hard in the shoulder. "You thought? What did you think? Don't you know that's Ms. Lewis from Pamore? You didn't think at all! Why are you even in this company?""Mr. Willia
Xander acted quickly. Both Amirate and Futurelink simultaneously announced the termination of their partnership with Soraya Group. For a moment, Soraya Group was completely paralyzed. Vivian looked at the chaotic state of the company, finding it hard to believe that all of this had happened because of that woman, Grace. She took out her phone and called Timothy, who had constantly been in contact with her. "Mr. Donegan?" Timothy was unaware of what had happened in Dunhill and responded politely, "Ms. Myers, is everything going well with the collaboration?"Vivian didn't answer his question, but instead, she asked, "Mr. Donegan, I want to ask you about something. Is Ms. Lewis a special VIP or something?" Upon hearing this, Timothy realized that something was wrong. He asked, "What's going on, Ms. Myers? What happened?" Vivian pursed her lips and explained truthfully, "Amirate Corporation and Futurelink Corporation have canceled their partnership with us."Upon hearing
The head of Acme Group had been waiting at the hotel entrance early in the afternoon. Upon seeing Grace, he greeted her with great respect. "Ms. Lewis, I'm George Lockwood, Acme Group's president. Here's my business card." "Welcome to Dunhill, and thank you for choosing Acme Group." Grace nodded slightly and took his business card.The name "George" was printed on the golden business card. Grace smiled. "Mr. Lockwood, I've heard a lot about you." "Ms. Lewis, you're too kind." With that, George gestured for her to get in the car. "Welcome, Ms. Lewis and Mr. Fulton!"Grace and Xander got into the chauffeured car. As the car drove along, George enthusiastically acted as a tour guide, talking about the scenery and specialties of Dunhill until they reached the mine. George spoke hesitantly, "Ms. Lewis, although Dunhill is a small place, we're well-developed in mining, agriculture, and farming. Today, let's visit the mines first, and we can go to the farms later." "Thank
After speaking, Grace stood up and walked toward the restroom. However, she didn't notice that several pairs of eyes had been fixed on them, watching her walk away alone. The people hurried in the direction she had left. "Mr. Fulton, at Dunhill, besides the Soraya Group, only Acme Group has the strength to negotiate the million-dollar project with you and Ms. Lewis. What do you think of this partnership?" Xander didn't directly answer him, even though Acme Group was indeed their best option.He remained calm. "This partnership is important to all three companies, and we must be cautious." "After the investigation, both companies will develop a feasible plan, assess the risks, and then we can discuss the partnership further." Xander chose his words carefully. It was hard for anyone to figure out his plans.George had been in the business for so many years, so he understood what Xander was doing. "I agree! We can take it slow and steady! But Mr. Fulton, Acme Group will no
Xander found Grace's last known location using his phone. The signal had disappeared an hour ago. The location was within the mine."Continue searching. She must still be in the mine. Don't bother returning if you can't find her," Xander sternly ordered. Then, he immediately called Aaron. In less than half an hour, Aaron and Caleb arrived on a private plane with a team. A fleet of private planes flew by their side, creating a spectacular scene. Even George, who was accustomed to grand occasions, had never seen such a display and was surprised by Grace's identity.The people Aaron had brought with him had undergone formal training. They were more efficient and sharper than ordinary bodyguards. They had even brought search dogs. After the plane landed, Aaron, Caleb, and Xander gathered together.The three didn't say anything, but they shared a mutual understanding. They divided the teams and started searching for Grace one by one. "Caleb, organize the team to conduct a tho
"Keep searching. There are still two more mines. If we can't find her, we’ll get help from the military," Aaron ordered. Xander quickly stood up, ignoring how tired he felt, and entered the ninth mine with determination. God helped those who helped themselves. Finally, at 3:00 am, Xander found Grace in the last mine. Grace had been dehydrated and had lacked oxygen for over ten hours. She was already in critical condition.Xander carried her on his back. Climbing the stairs one at a time, he took Grace out of the mine. The medical team was already on standby, and as soon as Grace came out, she was urgently handed over to the medical staff for emergency treatment. Time passed slowly as Aaron and Caleb waited outside the emergency room anxiously. Even though they were exhausted from searching all night, they put aside their weariness and focused on Grace."Who the hell put Gracie in the mine? I’ll kill him when I catch him!" Caleb yelled angrily, looking furious. Aaron
