Chapter 369 No Free Lunch

“Ms. Lewis, how about we-” Luke hesitated to speak, obviously not wanting Grace to have. too much

contact with Benjamin..

But Grace knew that what had to happen couldn’t be avoided.

She walked into the room calmly, displaying elegance in every gesture.

“So, you’re the behind-the-scenes boss of this project. It’s quite unexpected.”

Smiling, Benjamin casually said, “At first, Hawkins Group wasn’t involved in this field. But now we want

to work with you, so we’re trying.”

Grace smiled and asked, “So you mean Hawkins Group wants to work with Amirate?”

After a nod, Benjamin took a folder from Larry. “Yes. We just need to discuss the details.”

Grace raised an eyebrow, but her tone remained calm. “Oh, do you have any doubts, Mr. Hawkins?”

“There’s one thing. I find the profit distribution ratio a bit unreasonable.”

As soon as he said that, Luke instinctively pushed his glasses up his nose. He didn’t feel like Benjamin

had any intention of collaborating at all.

“Mr. Hawkins, Hawkins Group is just a newcomer to this project. Our cooperation should follow the

normal profit distribution ratio. Or do you have no intention of working with us at all?”

Luke spoke without reservation, his words sharp and intimidating.

However, Benjamin looked at Grace. “Your assistant is right. According to this profit. calculation,

Hawkins Group has already taken a big advantage.

“So, I think a 50-50 split is unreasonable. How about we change it to a 70-30 split? Amirate gets 70%,

and Hawkins Group gets 30%.”

Luke looked incredibly surprised. Was Benjamin here to negotiate a deal? Wasn’t he basically giving

money to Amirate?

This 20% increase meant several hundred million dollars.

“Ms. Lewis, what do you think?”

Grace didn’t understand Benjamin’s intentions. “Mr. Hawkins, are you doing business or charity?”

Silently, Grace clenched her hands. How did Benjamin know so much about Amirate’s internal affairs?

She rejected him right away, “There’s no need, Mr. Hawldns.”

“This is business. I shouldn’t accept your generosity for no reason. If you’re not sincere in this

collaboration, there’s no need to continue our discussion.”

Having said that, she stood up to leave.

Meanwhile, Benjamin remained seated, still calm. He slowly said, “I’ve heard about your gamble with

the board. If you lose the bet, you have to leave Amirate and completely lose

control of it.

Grace turned around, looking at him. “That’s not something you should be concerned about.”

Benjamin lifted his gaze, meeting her eyes. “If we include the profits from this project, it can at least

increase your performance by 5%. Grace, I just want to help you.”

Grace smiled faintly. “Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. But there’s no free lunch in this world. Let’s drop this

collaboration.”

With that, she walked out of the private room without looking back.

Benjamin was somewhat annoyed and angry at her rejection. He was also furious that she had clearly

defined the boundaries between them.

Without hesitation, he followed her out.
