Chapter 212 Teach Her a Lesson

It wasn’t until the rehearsal day before the fashion show that Grace heard about the sponsorship from Emily.

“Babe, I heard that Hawkins Group is sponsoring this venue. Benjamin will also attend tomorrow’s fashion show and give the opening speech.”

Grace was surprised. “When did Hawkins Group start doing charity?”

Emily bluntly pointed out, “It’s definitely because of Celia’s incident last time. It had a certain impact on Hawkins Group’s reputation. They must be doing all of this to restore their image.” Grace just acknowledged it with an “oh” and didn’t take it seriously. As the chief designer, her task was to ensure that all the outfits were smoothly showcased in the fashion show.

“Babe, do you think Benjamin intentionally joined this event because he knows you’re the chief designer?”

Although Emily didn’t know it, she had hit the nail on the head.

“You’re overthinking, Emily.”

Grace knew Benjamin better than anyone.

He had never cared about anything related to her. So how could he possibly do something so unconventional for her?

Besides…

“Benjamin’s current affairs have nothing to do with me. He and I are just parallel lines. We don’t cross each other.”

Yet Emily said, “I’m just afraid that someone might not see it that way.”

“How he sees it is his business,” Grace replied. She couldn’t control others. She could only manage her own actions.

Meanwhile, at Amirate Corporation, Samuel hadn’t been idle.

His bet with Grace was still ongoing, so he was keeping an eye on her.

“Director Walker, as of late, Timothy has been responsible for all the company’s major projects, while Luke is handling the smaller projects. Ms. Lewis has been busy with the fashion show and rarely appears at the company.

“But this fashion show has brought in several million in revenue for the company. I heard that

+15 BONUS

“After tomorrow’s show, we should expect even more orders. By then, the revenue in the clothing sector will increase at least five times.”

As Samuel listened to the report on Grace’s impact on the company’s performance, his expression turned visibly upset.

Compared to previous years, this year’s performance had already multiplied several times. If this trend continued, Grace might really turn the tables.

And when that happened, the one leaving Amirate would be Samuel himself.

With a cold expression, he rhythmically tapped his fingers on the desk. “The fashion show is tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, Director Walker.”

Samuel smirked, showing a sinister smile. “Five times the revenue isn’t that easy to achieve. What do you think would happen if she messed up the fashion show?”

Hearing that, his subordinate couldn’t help but shiver. He answered timidly, “Ms. Lewis would probably lose money. For such a big fashion show, the loss won’t be small. It could easily be tens of millions of dollars.”

Samuel laughed. “Tens of millions of dollars! Consider it a lesson for her. That girl is still too young to compete with me.”

As he said that, he waved his hand, signaling for his subordinate to come closer.

Then, he whispered something, and the subordinate immediately answered, “Don’t worry, Director Walker. I’ll handle this matter perfectly.”

“Remember, leave no traces, and don’t let anyone connect this matter to me. If even a hint of this leaks out, you’ll pay with your life.”

“Understood, Director Walker. I know what to do.”

After his subordinate left, a smug expression appeared on Samuel’s face.

“Grace, oh Grace. I’ll teach you how to behave this time,” he thought.
