Chapter 247 Inevitable Victory

Grace smiled and extended her hand. “Hello, Mr. Jackson!”

“Ms. Lewis, you’re truly outstanding. Under your leadership, Amirate Corporation is gradually reaching new heights.”

“Thank you, Mr. Jackson.”

“You’re here for the Dunhill Project as well? Our companies are going to compete head–to- head today.”

“We’re all just playing to our strengths, you know?”

With a sly smile, Timothy replied, “Well then, Mr. Jackson, let’s wait and see.”

The atmosphere tensed up. Grace sensed Timothy’s hostility toward Liam.

“Sure. We’ll meet later.” Liam glanced meaningfully at Grace before leaving confidently.

“If I’m not mistaken, he’s our biggest competitor today,” Grace said calmly.

Impressed by Grace’s insight, Timothy teased, “Milady, I replace myself admiring you more and

more.”

“Stop flattering and speak sensibly.”

“I’m speaking the truth.”

Timothy looked disdainfully at Liam and continued, “Seeing his confident behavior, if he gets. what he wants, his pride will skyrocket.“”

“That’s not necessarily true. The higher you stand, the harder you fall,” Grace remarked.

The two exchanged a glance and walked toward the venue. Guided by the waitstaff, they took

their seats as per the organizer’s arrangements.

Little did they know that they had completely overlooked Geraldine, who was sitting in the corner and casting a disdainful look at them.

At that moment, Liam approached Geraldine, patting her shoulder. “How’s it going? Did you submit the bid?”

Geraldine raised an eyebrow, looking pleased. “Rest assured, it’s already been submitted.”

Liam took a seat beside her. “I’ve made thorough preparations for today’s bidding war.

“I paid a deposit of 100 million dollars to the suppliers last night, urging them to work overtime and prepare the materials we need. If we win today, we can start construction immediately.”

“So quickly?” Geraldine hadn’t expected him to act so swiftly.

“I’m just taking advantage of the situation. I hope today’s results won’t disappoint me.”

Geraldine was quite confident at this point. She withdrew her gaze and continued, “Don’t worry! This project is bound to belong to us. Let’s see how miserably Grace and Timothy lose later!”

The two exchanged smiles, demonstrating a silent understanding.

“I’ll go to the restroom. You keep an eye on things here,” Geraldine said, getting up and heading toward the restroom.

However, when she came out, Grace intercepted her at the door.

“Ms. Geraldine, I didn’t expect to see you here!” Grace greeted Geraldine with a sarcastic smile.

During the three years of her marriage to Benjamin, she hadn’t interacted much with

Geraldine. At most, they would meet during family gatherings.

Additionally, Geraldine had never treated her as harshly as other members of the Hawkins family.

Initially, Grace had shown some leniency toward Geraldine.

However, now that leniency had vanished.
