Chapter 248 Data Error

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 win the bid.”

Grace nodded. “That’s right. So everyone is keeping a close eye on it, hoping to secure this project.”

She paused momentarily and continued, “At first, I had no intention of getting involved in this project.

However, due to some errors in the data from the team, I had to come and

supervise.”

In an instant, the atmosphere changed.

Geraldine was dumbfounded.

“Data errors?”

Grace seemingly nodded casually. “Yes, we just found out about it yesterday afternoon. Fortunately, the

corrections were made promptly, and there wasn’t much impact.

“However, if we had participated in the bidding with the original data, even if we won, it

would have resulted in a loss for us.”

Upon hearing this, Geraldine’s face turned pale. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. “You

changed the plan?”

Grace admitted, “The team made some miscalculations, so I had to make last–minute

corrections.”

Geraldine’s face had lost all its color by now. She hastily walked out.

Grace’s eyes remained cold as she watched Geraldine’s somewhat panicked figure.

Geraldine hurriedly found Liam and grabbed his arm urgently. “Mr. Jackson, we need to retrieve the bid

document quickly!”

Concerned about her distressed expression, Liam asked, “What happened?”

“We’ve been fooled! There was an error in their data. If we bid with this amount, we’ll incur losses.

Moreover, you just invested 100 million dollars, and it’s about to go down the drain. Hurry and retrieve

the bid document. Quickly!”

“What are you saying?” Liam became agitated and shot up from his seat.

As he spoke, he briskly walked toward where the bid documents were being submitted, coincidentally

However, at this moment, Liam had no attention to spare for Grace. He quickened his pace toward the

area where bids were being submitted.

Unfortunately, Liam was a step too late. The time for submitting bids had already passed, and once the

bid documents were submitted, they couldn’t be retrieved.

Geraldine looked anxious. She asked, “What do we do, Mr. Jackson? We’re in deep shit now.”

Liam’s chest heaved, wearing a stern expression.

He forced himself to calm down and consoled, “If there’s an error, even if we submit the bid

document, we won’t win. Don’t worry too much.”

However, he had spent 100 million dollars but wouldn’t get any returns, making no profits for

him. It was such a waste.

Liam was furious. “All thanks to your brilliant idea! Wait until the bidding is over, and you’ll see how I

deal with you.”

Geraldine felt a jolt in her heart. She quickly shifted blame. “It’s not my fault. It’s that despicable bitch,

Grace! This time, she really fooled me-”

Liam rebuked her sternly, “That’s enough! Shut up! One more word from you, and I’ll kick you
