Chapter 143 She Crushed It

“Ms. Gardner, are you okay?” Alvin couldn’t help but express his concern while silently feeling anxious for Wendy.

Grace had shown her competence, proving Wendy’s misconception about her cluelessness

wrong.

Wendy clenched her hands as she stared at Grace with a fiery gaze, but she managed to

restrain herself.

“I’m fine.”

After Grace finished her explanation, the others began to ask questions and share their opinions.

Grace confidently answered their questions and added relevant information, earning unanimous praise from everyone.

She was teaching Wendy a lesson.

Applause broke out, and Benjamin was the first to stand. He looked at Grace in admiration. Your professionalism is as strong as it was when you were at Hawkins Group.”

As soon as he said that, everyone exchanged glances and began discussing quietly.

“Ms. Lewis used to work for Hawkins Group?”

“Hawkins Group has very high standards for its employees. The fact that she worked there and

excelled shows her strong capabilities.”

“How can a person who thrived at Hawkins Group be bad? We underestimated her.”

“I thought she was just a spoiled princess who knew nothing, but she has real skills.”

Listening to these comments, Wendy felt a burning sensation in her cheeks, as if she had been slapped in the face.

“Ms. Gardner, why are there so many errors in your proposal if you’ve had it reviewed many times?” Benjamin asked, hitting the key point.

Even though Wendy’s proposal had so many issues, no one had pointed them out. Why was that?

Nervously, Wendy glanced at Alvin, but he ignored her.

She lowered her gaze and humbly said, “I’m sorry. It was my mistake that the work wasn’t done properly. I will make the necessary revisions.”

However, Benjamin didn’t seem satisfied. “Ms. Gardner, please focus on improving your professional skills rather than attacking people.”

The implication was clear. He was referring to her attitude toward Grace.

Wendy was rendered speechless and looked at Benjamin in confusion. She was surprised that he was still protecting Grace, even though they were divorced.

She couldn’t help but wonder what Yvonne meant to him.

“In that case, there’s no need to continue this meeting. We can discuss the investment when Nexa Group has a well–prepared proposal.” Xander clearly stated his position.

As the most influential boss in the room, he had the absolute authority to make this decision. After his statement, he stood up and was about to leave.

“Let’s go, Grace.”

Grace didn’t hesitate. She was only here because of Xander. Since Nexa Group had shown such a lack of sincerity and presented a proposal full of errors, it was clear that they were looking

down on them.

There was no point in continuing to work with them.

“Okay, Xander,” Grace replied.

The two of them left the conference room one after the other.

Alvin hadn’t expected the meeting to end like this and hurried to catch up with them. “Mr. Fulton, I think there might be a misunderstanding …”
