Chapter 144 Failed Cooperation

Alvin caught up with them at the elevator.

“Mr. Fulton, Nexa Group has made extensive preparations for this project and invested a substantial amount of money.

“If Amirate doesn’t cooperate with us now, it will be a fatal blow for us. I hope you can give us another chance, Mr. Fulton.”

However, Xander and Grace remained silent.

As the elevator gradually approached their floor, Alvin was running out of ways to persuade them.

“Mr. Fulton, Ms. Lewis, I hope we can still have an opportunity to collaborate. I apologize for the unexpected events today, but cooperation requires some adjustment.”

The moment the elevator doors opened, Grace and Xander entered it.

“You can go back now, Mr. Leroy.”

Alvin’s heart sank, and he could only watch as the elevator doors closed.

Just then, Benjamin approached Alvin with Larry. “Mr. Leroy!”

Alvin quickly came to his senses and was shocked when he saw Benjamin. “Yes, Mr. Hawkins?”

Casually, Benjamin said, “Today was an eye–opener. Let’s avoid such jokes in the future. We’re all part of the same circle, and it wouldn’t be good if things like this spread.”

Alvin felt defeated. “Mr. Hawkins, is there no room for negotiation?”

Benjamin offered him some advice instead. “Mr. Leroy, understanding and using people

effectively is one of the most crucial abilities for us leaders. I don’t think I need to tell you that.

“I

At his words, Alvin nodded repeatedly, clearly understanding what he meant.

After everyone left, he called Wendy into his office.

“Mr. Leroy, I-“Just as Wendy started speaking, she received a slap in the face.

In disbelief, she covered her face and held back tears.

“Do you realize how much damage your actions today have caused the company?”

Wendy lowered her gaze. She hadn’t expected things to escalate like this.

“I was wrong, Mr. Leroy. I hope you can give me another chance.” Her attitude was now.

Alvin was furious, but he also knew that Wendy wasn’t usually this thoughtless. So he asked, ” Do you have a grudge against Ms. Lewis?”

Wendy remained silent.

Suddenly, Alvin slammed his desk. “In that case, from today on, hand over your work! You’re suspended indefinitely.”

“Mr. Leroy!” Wendy panicked.

“This isn’t as serious as you think. Please let me explain!”

Alvin’s head was pounding, and he waved her out of his office.

Wendy felt resentful but had no other choice.

As she left the office, she was met with judgmental looks from her colleagues. She covered her face, her eyes filled with gloom.

She quickly walked to her office and closed the door with a loud thud.

Following that, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. “Uncle…”

As she began speaking, her voice trembled, and the frustration in her heart overflowed.

On the other hand, Xander and Grace left Nexa Group and basked in the warm sunlight. He walked beside her and shared the information he had just discovered with her.

“Ms. Gardner from Nexa Group is related to the Quines. Yvonne is her cousin.”

The moment Xander said that, the realization dawned on Grace. So that was the reason!

“No wonder she was targeting me with everything she said today. It’s because of this.” She

chuckled.
