Early in the next morning, Luke reported, "I've managed to schedule a meeting with Theodore." "How did you manage that?" "Given Amirate Corporation's status, meeting the president of a small company is quite simple." Grace smiled and asked, "Where will the meeting take place?" "At the café downstairs at Amirate." Meanwhile, Benjamin had just arrived at his office to find Jessica waiting for him.

"I knew you're always punctual." Ignoring her, Benjamin asked, "What is it?" "Given the current trend, Byte Technologies will be finished in a few more days. I'm here to remind you not to think about extending a helping hand to Grace." Jessica smirked with satisfaction.

Benjamin looked at her with disdain. There had been no news from Grace's end recently, which had worried him slightly. "Are you done?" Jessica's expression darkened.

"Larry, see her out." Larry promptly entered and gestured toward the door. "Ms. Landon, this way, please." Jessica cast a deep look at Benjamin. "Benjamin, you gavethis leverage. If you try to help her, don't blme for telling her who's behind it all." "Larry," Benjamin said sternly.

Without needing Larry to act, Jessica left the office on her own.

Benjamin loosened his tie in agitation.

Just then, his phone vibrated with an incoming call from Grace. He frowned, feeling a mix of excitement and guilt as he answered.

"Grace?" "Benjamin, are you free? I need to talk to you." His frown deepened, and he asked, "About what?" "Have you heard about Byte Technologies? I have squestions I'd like to ask you. You know, I'm desperate and have no one else to turn to." Grace sounded reluctant and frustrated, which made Benjamin believe her.

"I thought you hated me?" He pursed his lips, overjoyed.

"It's fine if you're not free." Benjamin quickly said, "I am. Where are we meeting?" Before the meeting, Benjamin pulled out a document from his files. Larry noticed and said, "Mr. Hawkins, this is Hawkins Group's most important investment project for next quarter. Are you " Benjamin cut him off coldly. "I don't need this one." He couldn't help Grace with the Byte Technologies scandal but was willing to pave another path for her to achieve her targets.

He thought of it as compensation and a token of his feelings.

Accompanied by two bodyguards, Grace arrived at the café downstairs at the Amirate Corporation building, which had been cleared out for the meeting. Theodore sat in the most conspicuous spot, engrossed in his phone.

Grace approached and asked, "You're still tweeting?" Startled, he settled back down when he saw her and quickly hid his phone.

"Ms. Lewis." Grace glanced at him briefly. "I hear you've been quite busy lately.' "It's an honor to collaborate with Amirate Corporation," he said, taking out a contract to begin explaining.

Grace interrupted, "Not so fast. Before we discuss any collaboration, I have a small condition. I wonder if you could agree." "Please, go ahead." "Stop fucking tweeting," Grace said sweetly but firmly.

His smile froze. "What do you mean?" "I believe a popular celebrity like Willow married you because sheet thought you were sincere. But you conspired with her agent to stab her in the back. Is that appropriate?" Hearing this, he looked at Grace with confusion. "You're not here to discuss our partnership?" "Partner with you and get stabbed in the back? I wouldn't dare gamble on that." "How dare you play me, Grace?" Theodore stood up angrily to leave.

Grace waved a finger, and her bodyguards stepped forward, pinning him back into his seat. They then snatched his phone and handed it to Grace.
