Chapter 249 Doomed

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 cautiously from the side. She dared not utter a word. When Liam turned back,

he looked at her and strode over.

Grabbing her wrist, he said, “Geraldine, look at what you’ve done!”

His enraged voice echoed through the corridor. Geraldine was trembling with fear.

“This mess is partly your fault! If you can’t come up with five million dollars, I’ll strip your skin off!”

Liam’s fierce words showed no mercy. As he let go of her abruptly, Geraldine stumbled and fell heavily

to the ground.

She was utterly stunned.

Five million dollars?

She couldn’t come up with that much money, even if she sold herself!

“Mr. Jackson, spare me, please! There won’t be a next time… Mr. Jackson

No matter how she pleaded, Liam ignored her, leaving her alone.

Geraldine pounded the floor forcefully, her mind filled with one thought.

She was doomed.

She couldn’t sit by idly or bear this loss in vain.

Just then, she seemed to have thought of something. As she slowly got up from the floor, her eyes fell

on Grace, who was standing nearby.

She was genuinely startled. Her b*dy went limp, and she fell again.

For the first time, Geraldine felt utterly miserable.

She quickly got up again. At this moment, Grace was already standing in front of her. Unlike the

kindness she had shown in the past, Grace’s expression was now cold.

Before Geraldine could speak, a sharp slap echoed in the corridor.

Geraldine’s face was turned to the side, and five bright red fingerprints appeared on her left cheek.

Holding her face, she spoke through gritted teeth. “Grace, how dare you hit me?” Grace showed no

mercy. “It’s just a slap. Considering your actions, it’s quite light.” “Grace, on what grounds do you think

you can do this?”

Grace took out her phone and opened a surveillance video. “Take a good look! This is evidence!”

At a glance, Geraldine’s face turned pale, and she reached out, trying to snatch Grace’s phone. “Give it

to me! Give it to me now!”
