Chapter 252 Lewis Family’s Attitude

“Gracie, remember this. You shouldn’t doubt yourself just because of one failed relationship. In my opinion, you’re worthy of the best.”

Grace’s heart warmed at his words. “I know, Aaron. It’s so good to have all of you.”

Aaron reached out and ruffled her hair. “What’s with you being so formal? In matters of the heart, it’s how you feel that counts. But you also have to face

Grace nodded, but she felt that Aaron was being unusually talkative today. “Aaron, when did you become such a gossip?”

“Have I? I’m just showing concern for you. After all, we can’t be careless with matters that

lesson. concern your lifelong happiness. Since I’ve been deceived once, I should learn

my

“You can’t fall down in the same place twice. As long as that person isn’t Benjamin, no matter who you end up with, our entire family will support you.”

Aaron’s words made his stance clear. It was also what the rest of their family thought.

Grace murmured in assent. “Okay, Aaron. Don’t worry.”

As she finished speaking, Grace felt brighter. Her gaze turned to the window as she sank deep in thought.

Meanwhile, back in Amirate’s office, Samuel was fidgeting with the new crystal trinket he had just bought. Just then, there was a knock on the office door

“Who is it? Come in.”

The office door was pushed open, and Zane immediately walked in. He reported, “Director Walker, we have secured the Dunhill project.”

As he finished, the trinket in Samuel’s hands fell to the ground with a loud crash.

Tens of millions of dollars were gone in an instant. Samuel’s gaze darkened, his heart stinging

at the loss.

“What did you say? We got this project?”

“Yes. That’s the news I got from the bid’s venue. Amirate got the tender.”

Samuel’s expression looked terrible. He had never imagined that Grace would surprise him so

much.

“Is it as simple as friendship? I can see that Timothy is putting in a lot of effort into working at Amirate, and I hear that he’s already managed to obtain the Dunhill project. Don’t you have anything to say about that?”

“Aaron, work is work, and personal relationships are personal. The two can’t be mixed.”

Aaron couldn’t resist asking again. “Then what about Xander? What do you think about him?”

Xander had risked his own life to save Grace. Everyone could see his feelings for her. Additionally, with the long history between their families, Xander was obviously the best

candidate.

Grace said in resignation, “Aaron, Xander is such a good person. How could I be worthy of him?”

Aaron retorted, “Gracie, when did you start to lack so much confidence? You are doted on as our family’s heiress. In terms of your status, what part does

Grace shook her head slightly.

“Feelings aren’t about whether or not we’re worthy. It’s just… I feel a little afraid.” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Because of this, she had kept avoiding Xander’s feelings. She knew that it was because she had been hurt before, and now she could no longer easily b

GET IT NOW

Dunhill was a huge project, with a long duration and high profits…

From the profits of this project alone, it would be enough to reach 10% of Amirate Corporation’s annual profits for the year.

Grace had truly surprised him.

“Director Walker, I don’t think that this was solely because of Ms. Lewis. Ultimately, it’s Timothy.

“You had asked me to investigate him before. He doesn’t really have much of a background. If we kick him out of the company, it’ll be like cutting off Ms.

Samuel harrumphed coldly. “Not having a background is a good thing. It means we can do with him as we please. But can we just get rid of him?”

“I heard that Timothy himself is thinking of leaving Amirate.”

Samuel raised his gaze, and his eyes seemed like bottomless pits. “Is that so?”

“It’s just what I’ve heard. There isn’t any news at the moment. At the most, he’ll stay to oversee the Dunhill project, but once it’s over …‘

Samuel grunted coldly, not bothering to disguise the scorn on his face.

“Timothy’s capabilities are evident to everyone, but the Dunhill project won’t be completed so easily. Although we got the tender, there could be unexpected developments in the future.”

“But there’s only half a year left for the wager between you and Ms. Lewis. According to current developments, the company’s profits this year are alread

This was exactly what Samuel was worried about.
