Grace's incisive questions caused everyone in the signing hall to tense up, anously awaiting forkers

response.

Soprall

Putting aside all other considerations, the intensity of the situation left little room for any Sopr explanations.

The atmosphere in the room was so thick with silence that it felt almost suffocating

Daniel reached for Grace, murmuring, 'Grace, maybe we should let this go. The Dans Group might have legitimate reasons for not signing with us. Can't we talk about this privately after the meeting andeat of being so confrontational?" Grace shrugged off Daniel's hand. "Don't try to talk me out of this. The Dunn Group assured us they would sign the contract for the Eastvale outsourcing project

"Besides, Mr. Dixon announced a list of 20 partners right in front of all the bidding companies

"Now, they suddenly say we're not on the signing list?

There has to be something underhanded happening here. Today, I will demand an explanation from the

Dunnst

The vast signing hall of the Dunn Group was so quiet that the sound of heartbeats echoed

Many attendees began to discreetly distance themselves from Grace and Daniel

The established families from Harmonfield knew that no one had ever had the audacity to confrom Shirley so openly in public.

They couldn't help but admire Grace's boldness.

In the Dunn Group's domain, to challenge Shirley in such a disrespectful manner wi zudacious.

If Drake had been here today, he wouldn't have needed to argue with her-he could have easily ehminated these three families right then and there. But Shirley chose not to escalate the situation.

Instead, she regarded Grace, Alice, and the others with a cool detachment

"Are you done? Is that the end of your questions?"

Taking a step forward, Shirley's indifferent gaze swept over Grace and the others "I can provide a dear explanation right now.

"It's quite simple the three of you are not on the same level as the Dunn Group.

"There were no problems with the bidding, signing, or final approval process for the Eastvale Ecological Project outsourcing.

"The twenty companies that Mr. Dixon mentioned were selected during today's initial evaluations.

"But that doesn't mean that all twenty are qualified to partner with us on the Dunn Group's Eastvale

"The final approval is entirely my decision!

"You three were removed from the potential partner liat my direct instruction.

"That is my explanation"

As her words echoed in the hall, everyone turned their gaze to Grace and Alice, their expressions laced with derision. Shirley's message was unmistakable.

The Dunn Group didn't consider them worthy, what more explanation could they possibly want?

The outsourcing project for the Eastvale Ecological Project was inherently the Dunn Group's domain.

It was a privilege for them to even contemplate a partnership with the others.

If they chose not to engage with any company, that was entirely within their rights.

What right did others have to demand an explanation?

It was absolutely absurd!

Additionally, there had been no hiccups in the signing process either.

Even if Howard had hinted that all listed companies were eligible to sign contracts, it was merely a suggestion.

The ultimate approval required the CEO's signature, an essential step for any business.

The Dunn Group's procedures were beyond reproach.

Grace suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

Faced with Shirley's formidable presence, an uncomfortable sensation washed over her.

Alice felt even more anxious, drowning in humiliation

The blatant contempt emanating from Shirley and the countless eyes focused on her felt like a thousand needles prickling her skin.

She came to the distressing realization that the real fool was herself!

She was here to bid for a project, yet here she was, demanding to know why she was excluded and asking for a reasonable explanation.

She had even threatened to bring the media into the mix to spotlight their situation.

What a ridiculous spectacle!

The Dunns owed her no explanation whatsoever!

Finally, Alice regained her composure

This unreasonable outburst would only worsen her own and the Miller Group's standing.

She desperately longed to escape the room.

In her haze, the spotted Robin at the back, casually scrolling through his phone.

In that instant, he glanced up, a smirk playing on his lips, and that look ignited her simmering anger.

All her previous poise evaporated

Stepping forward, she icily remarked, "Ms. Dunn, by saying what you just did and adopting such a domineering stance, are you attempting to demonstrate that the Dunn Group can easily bully smaller companies in Harmonfield?" Shirley shot Alice a frigid look. "If that's your perspective, then yes! The Dunns maintain this attitude Toward anyone who causes unreasonable trouble!"

Alice was momentarily at a loss for words.

Faced with Shirley's arrogance, frustration bubbled within her, yet she found no outlet for it.

In front of Shirley, all her words felt weak and ineffective.

Deep down, Alice recognized that Shirley had every reason to feel proud.

The Dunn Group's decision not to sign with her was entirely justifiable.

Continuing this argument was undoubtedly embarrassing!

Even though she felt frustrated about the lost contract, it was an unavoidable situation.

She was weak, and therefore she must endure-this was simply the truth!!

No one had the right to protest when confronted by such overwhelming power!

The anger that had flared in Alice from Robin's jab dissipated instantly.

With a quiet sigh, she prepared to turn away.

At that moment, Howard intervened, "Ms. Miller, the Dunn Group's refusal to partner with you three isn't Ms. Dunn's decision; it's Robin who requested your removal." Howard's remark caused a stir of confusion in the room.

Clearly, he was shifting the blame, hinting at deeper issues.

The fact that the Dunn Group's Vice General Manager would utter such divisive comments indicated serious internal discord.

Shirley fixed Howard with a chilling glare.

Realizing he had overstepped, Howard scrambled to clarify, "Ms. Dunn, I-I didn't mean it that way. This3/5

isn't your fault; I just wanted to imply they shouldn't hold you responsible"

Upon hearing this, Grace perked up. "Ms. Dunn, so it appears the Dunn Group's management is so chaotic that a mere bodyguard can sway the outcome of this signing meeting

"Then, doesn't this grand signing event you've promoted seem more like a farce?

"Ms. Dunn, since this issue involves Robin, we insist that he step forward to explain!"

As Grace's words echoed throughout the hall, murmurs of disbelief rippled through the crowd.

""Who is Robin?"

"Theard Robin is Ms. Dunn's bodyguard. He must have a special connection with her, huh?"

"Her bodyguard? It's absurd that a mere bodyguard can dictate which partners to keep or dismiss!"

Originally, Shirley could have defused this situation.

But Howard's incendiary comment threw the room into disarray.

Anyone could see he was deliberately shifting the blame onto Robin.

Shirley frowned, her gaze icy as it locked onto Howard

"Ms. Dunn, I truly didn't expect this. I didn't mean to Howard continued to explain.

Shirley interrupted with a cold scoff, "Enough. I understand your intentions!"

She knew that whatever explanation followed would severely damage the Dunn Group's reputation.

Just as she was about to announce the cancellation of the signing ceremony and the forthcoming press conference, Robin stepped forward.

He scanned the faces of Alice, Grace, and the others, then shrugged. "You want an explanation, right? Fine, I promise to address every one of your concerns!

"Ms. Dunn, how about we hold the press conference together from this point onward?"

Shirley observed Robin's casual demeanor, unsure how he intended to handle the unfolding situation.

Robin was undeniably formidable in strength.

But dealing with public relations issues wasn't something that could be resolved with sheer force.

Especially with Howard stirring the pot nearby.

If they got caught in a media firestorm, both Robin and the Dunn Group would face significant repercussions.

Could he manage this?
