Grace scanned the room, her gaze finally landing on Samuel Walker. She pursed her lips slightly, then asked, "What do you mean, Director Walker?""You need to prove your worth with actual results. Why don't we settle for 30%? "If you can improve the company's performance by 30%, you'll get to be president, and we'll be satisfied. If not … I'm afraid we won't be so easily convinced."Samuel's words piqued everyone's interest. Raising performance by 30% was impossible, no matter how you looked at it. Not even Aaron could do it. He was clearly giving her an impossible mission."Director Walker, we both know that an international corporation like Amirate struggles to increase its performance by 10% as it is. "What are you trying to achieve by demanding 30%?" David couldn't help but protest. However, no one else dared speak up.Samuel didn't seem to care and said nonchalantly, "Well, because only a demand like that can prove Ms. Lewis' worth. "If she can achieve that goal, every

Upon returning to Amirate Corporation, Timothy immediately barged into Grace's office."Milady, now that your identity is public, why don't we just follow our parents' wishes and get married?" he asked.Grace decisively refused, "I'm sorry, but I have no intention of marrying again at the moment.""Then, when you want to get married, just let me know. I'll always be ready to marry you."Grac felt a headache coming on and replied, "Mr. Donegan, we're not a good match. I've told you this before. Why are you so persistent?""What's not a good match? Please don't rush to judge. You haven't really gotten to know me, and yet you're rejecting me outright," Timothy blurted out anxiously."Do you know me, then?" Grace retorted, leaving him momentarily lost for words. "We can get to know each other gradually in the future. There's plenty of time ..." he trailed off, starting to lack confidence.Ultimately, he said determinedly, "You think I don't know you well enough, and that's why you

A sly smile tugged at the corner of Grace's lips as she said, "It seems you aren't too pleased to see me." Despite her words, she couldn't resist stepping inside.The situation became somewhat awkward, as Samuel hadn't expected to be caught off guard by Grace. However, he was a seasoned player and quickly regained his composure."Ms. Lewis, why would you say that? I wholeheartedly welcome you," he said, getting up from his seat to make room for her.After taking a seat, Grace's eyes met Benjamin's for a moment. It seemed as though a spark had been ignited.She raised an eyebrow and broke the silence. "Coincidentally, Mr. Hawkins is here too. It seems like I've interrupted something.""It's not an interruption. We were just talking about you. Little did we know that you would become Amirate's president as soon as you left Hawkins Group."Director Walker was just praising you, saying that your exceptional abilities could increase the board's performance by 30% in a year. Isn't

Meanwhile, a series of crashing sounds filled a private room in Aroma Restaurant as Samuel angrily destroyed everything in the room."You little brat! How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?" He furiously kicked a chair, sending it crashing onto the ground.He narrowed his eyes. He couldn't let things go on like this. If he gave up now, he might be under Grace's control forever, with no chance to rise above.He took out his phone and made a call. "I don't care what methods you use, but I want Grace to be humiliated and kicked out of Amirate Corporation."After hanging up the phone, he was about to leave when he heard a knock on the door."Who's there?" he asked cautiously.The next moment, the door was opened."Mr. Walker, our chairman requests your presence."Samuel was puzzled. "Who is your chairman?""Richard Quine."Samuel was familiar with the name, but he had no dealings with Richard. "What does Mr. Quine Senior want from me?""You'll find out when you see h

At the same time, at the entrance of the bar, Celia tried calling Benjamin on her phone, but he didn't answer. A slender figure beside her asked urgently, "Are you sure your brother is here?"Celia nodded repeatedly and said, "Yvonne, there's no mistake. My brother is definitely here."The person who had arrived was Yvonne.Before this, Richard had sent her to jail, and the Quine family had completely abandoned her. The Lewis family had submitted a whole lot of evidence and was now waiting for the court to conduct a trial. However, Yvonne's situation was unique—she was pregnant. Hence, she had been granted bail.She had called Benjamin and sent him messages, wanting to meet him, but he had never agreed to meet her. She'd had no other choice but to find a way to sneak out of the hospital.Celia had informed her that Benjamin was at Halo Bar, so she had come here."Yvonne, let's go inside."Celia led Yvonne through the bar. Yvonne's heart came to life in the lively atmos
