Chapter 253 Too Late For Regrets

If things continued to progress at this rate, there was a high chance that Grace would win the bet. But Samuel wouldn’t admit defeat until the final moment.

“What are you so anxious about? Isn’t there still about half a year left? Getting a project done is difficult, but destroying a project is easy.”

Samuel’s gaze darkened. He seemed to have resolved to burn all his bridges. He had been in the business world for a long time, and he wasn’t about to lose to a young woman who had just started out.

“We have to replace a way to get rid of that Timothy fellow.”

“Director Walker, I have an idea about that.”

Samuel raised his eyebrows, looking pleasantly surprised. “Tell me what your idea is.

Zane leaned close to his ear and said something in a low voice. Samuel was all smiles as he said, “It looks like you’ve learned a lot through all your years with me. Let’s do it as you’ve planned.”

“Yes, Director Walker.”

That night, Grace had arranged a celebratory party for Timothy at the Phil*ps Bar and had invited all her employees. Everyone was gathered together, creating a festive atmosphere.

“Let us congratulate Mr. Donegan for obtaining the Dunhill project!”

“Congratulations, Mr. Donegan!”

“Congratulations, Ms. Lewis!”

“To Amirate becoming better and better!”

As the drinks flowed, everyone grew a little tipsy. Grace was worried that they weren’t fully enjoying themselves, so she made up an excuse to leave.

Timothy was worried about her, so he said at once, “I’ll take you

home.”

Grace declined politely, “No, it’s your party. Have fun with everyone. I’ve already called a driver, so there won’t be any problems.”

“I’ll see you to the door then.”

Grace was unable to dissuade him, so they walked to the entrance together. “Hurry up and back to the party. The driver’s should be here any minute.”

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. Lewis‘ right arm.‘

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 already at least more than 15%

higher than last year’s.”

This was exactly what Samuel was worried about.

Timothy was in no hurry. “It’s fine. I’ll leave when you’ve gotten in the car.

Seeing that he was stubborn, Grace didn’t say anything further.

Timothy grabbed the opportunity and said casually, “Looking back, I’ve been in Amirate for about half a year already.

“Time flies. When I first came to Amirate, I didn’t know that you were the woman my family had wanted me to marry.”

There was regret in his tone. If he had known earlier, he would never have said that he wanted to cancel the alliance.

But now, it was too late for regrets.

“Grace, if we could start over, I think I would definitely accept my parents‘ arrangement and

marry you.

Grace thought that he had drunk too much that night and hurriedly said, “Timothy, have you been drinking too much? Go and rest so you can sober up!”

Timothy laughed. “Perhaps I have! Anyway, in my heart, you will always be Milady.”

“Alright, hurry up and get back. The driver’s here.” Grace got in the car and waved to him.

Timothy watched her leave before turning and entering the bar again.

In the car, Grace scrolled through her phone in a bored manner.

At this moment, the brakes suddenly screeched. Grace lurched forward and collided heavily with the back of the seat in front of her.

When Grace came back to her senses, she asked while rubbing her head, “What is it? What happened?”

But the driver looked panicked as he pointed outside the window and said, “Look outside …”

At this moment, the car was surrounded by a bunch of young gangsters riding motorcycles. All of them were staring sharply at Grace like predators.
