Chapter 421 A Villain's Success "I'll just roll with the punches." Grace had already formed a plan in her mind. Whatever it was that Jessica intended to do, she would handle it with caution.

At 9:00 am, Grace walked into Amirate Corporation in her high heels. She looked exceptionally capable in her professional attire.

As soon as she showed up, Luke, who had been waiting for her, quickly approached her. "Ms. Lewis, you're back." Grace nodded slightly and then entered the elevator. Luke followed closely, reporting Grace's schedule for the day.

"At 10:00 am, you have a video conference. At 11:00 am, you have a meeting with Mr. Barnes from Barnes Group in the conference room on the 22nd floor." As the elevator slowly ascended, it finally stopped at the top floor. Grace listened to Luke's updates and gave a light acknowledgment. "Okay." Then, she walked out of the elevator.

Unexpectedly, Samuel approached her with a smile.

"Ms. Lewis, it's been a long time! You finally came to the company. I was worried that something had happened to your family. I haven't seen you for a whole week." Grace stopped in her tracks. She slowly

replied, "Tappreciate your concern, Director Walker. I was just dealing with some personal matters." Samuel nodded understandingly and asked, "Have you resolved your personal matters? Do you need my help? Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything." He played the role of a concerned elder perfectly, pretending as if he cared about Grace.

"Oh, Ms. Lewis, I'm not sure if Mr.

Zieglar has already told you this. There was a little problem with the Dunhill project a few days ago." With a look of regret, Samuel said, "1 heard that one of the mines collapsed.

Although there were no casualties, the losses were not small, especially in terms of the company's profits. It's

expected to take a big hit." Grace's expression darkened upon » hearing this. She looked at Luke.

"Luke, is that true?" The situation was complicated. Since Samuel was there, Luke didn't explain much. He only said, "Ms. Lewis, I'll report the details to you later." However, Samuel smiled and said, "Mr. Zieglar has been busy these past few days. I guess he forgot to report to you. But it's not too late to report to you now.

"But Ms. Lewis, It's been half a year since our bet, and there has been no progress or improvement in the second half of the year's performance. And now there's a problem with the Dunhill project. Don't you think this is quite difficult?"

Samuel's words carried a hint of smugness, as if he was looking forward to a good show.

"Ms. Lewis, you're still too young. You lack experience. In the business world, many things aren't as simple as you think.

"I don't think we should make things too ugly with our bet. Why not step down early, go home, and be a good little heiress? There's no need to expose yourself in the ruthless business world where people eat each other up." Grace listened calmly and responded, "Director Walker, there's still time.

Why are you so anxious?" Samuel smiled awkwardly and explained, "Don't get me wrong, Ms.

Lewis. I'm not anxious. I'm just being

considerate.

"In the end, you're still too young. If you really lose, you'll be embarrassed.

So let's not make it too ugly between us. What do you say?"
