Luke saw that and walked up to her. He reported what had happened politely. "Ms. Lewis, the job is done." Grace flicked her wrist and signed her non the final page of the document.
"Then, that will be all for now. We'll have to watch and see what she'll do." "Understood, Ms. Lewis. One more thing ..." Luke said hesitantly.
Grace stopped what she was doing and looked up. "What is it?" Instead of answering her question, Luke asked, "Did you watch the news today, Ms. Lewis? The news about the groundbreaking ceremony for the plot of land Landon Group acquired from the government?" Grace raised her eyebrow. Jessica sure moved fast. She had acquired that plot of land on the south side of the city in two weeks.
And they were already starting to develop it? At that very moment, Pamore News Channel was broadcasting that piece of news. Jessica was featured on television as the project's contractor. She had a bright smile on her face as she took part in the groundbreaking ceremony.
The local government held the project in high regard. A representative had even cin person to attend the ceremony. It was grand and lively.

Amirate Corporation's board of directors sighed in frustration when they saw the news.
"We told Ms. Lewis to compete for this project long ago, but she didn't listen. She had to go and invest in semerging industry!" "And where did that get us? We can only stand by and watch as other people reap the profits. We don't even get anything to show for it." "We knew it all along. Real estate is an industry with a bright future. The government cares about it. It's basically a guaranteed profit. But we missed it." "If we had gone for that project, Landon Group would never have gotten it. Our company is way more capable than Landon Group." "It's a pity that Ms. Lewis didn't pick up on it." Samuel was pleased to see everyone complaining. He had had the foresight to work with Jessica to secure the project.
He was curious to see how Grace would turn the tables after missing out on such a promising project.
"Director Walker, we really should have taken your advice. We shouldn't have allowed a woman to lead the company. Look where it got us? It's such a pity." "That's right, Director Walker. Why don't we join forces and remove Grace Lewis from her position? We'll appoint you as the president. That way, there might still be hope for the company." "I have no objections. But ... this might be too hasty. After all, Grace is a member of the Lewis family." As soon as the Lewis family was mentioned, no one else spoke up. They all cast their gaze at Samuel.
"What's your take on this, Director Walker?" Samuel smiled and signaled for them to calm down.
"Calm down, everyone. Did you forget the bet | made with Ms. Lewis? There isn't much tleft. Our company isn't even close to the target performance yet." "That's true! Director Walker, you are so ingenious for coming up with such a plan. When the tcomes, we'll have her step down. Even the Lewis family wouldn't be able to help her then."
