At that moment, Raymond spoke sternly, "Alright, Jake. Sit down." Caught between a rock and a hard place, Jake glared at Grace fiercely before reluctantly sitting down.
Grace made a timely exit, and as she closed the door, she heard Raymond say, "Let's do as Xander suggested. You'll handle this project. Go and do sfield investigation in Linden City first." Jake's gaze was burning. He was clearly unwilling, but he had no choice but to grab the cup in front of him and take a gulp.

The assistant from before caught up to her. "Ms. Lewis, you didn't do anything, did you?" Grace spread her hands and asked, "What could I possibly do? Alright, I'm leaving now. See you next time." Her smile was clearly mischievous.
Just as Grace entered the elevator, Jake rushed out of the meeting room in a panic, clutching his stomach and desperately looking for a restroom. He looked utterly disheveled.
As the meeting dispersed, Hazel was the first to find the assistant.
"What did you do? How did Ms. Lewis becPresident Fulton's assistant?" "I-I couldn't stop her ..." Raymond was the last to leave the conference room. He glanced at Jake's retreating figure and sighed. "That girl is always on your side." Xander followed him, seeming to be in a good mood. "Of course." "I'm on your side too," Raymond said thoughtfully. "If you're willing to give up FutureLink Corporation, I'll demote Jake." Xander chuckled lightly. "Favoritism much? I won't trouble you, Dad. I can handle these things myself." "But you should helpconvey a message when you visit Aunt Priscilla. Ask her to stop making things hard for my mother." "Visit? What do you mean? What did she do to Hestia?" Xander remained silent and strode past Raymond to leave.
Hazel followed and said, "Ms. Lewis is quite bold." Xander didn't respond. Instead, he took the phone from her to call Grace.

"You spiked his drink?" "It was just a laxative. It won't kill him. I just can't stand seeing that villain triumph." Grace added, "I poured in two packets!" Xander was amused and asked, "You cto Fulton Group with this in mind, didn't you?" "Of course, he bullied you and Aunt Hestia. I had to retaliate." "Thank you, Gracie. I'm happy." Grace was unable to contain her joy. She laughed before saying, "Xander, you stay and handle things here.
Cam manage alone in Pamore." Xander walked toward the window. The weather was nice, and the sky was clear.
"Alright, I'll settle the matters at Fulton Group quickly." When he hung up, Hazel stood behind him and said, "Mr. Jake being sent to Linden City to handle the project seems like a step forward for him, but it's actually a step back.
"President Fulton, if you stay, the board will definitely vote for you." "I'll stay. But not for long." A woman who had cfor an interview for the assistant position stood beside him, trembling.
His assistant was quivering. "She ... she wasn't here for the assistant interview." "I looked into it. It seems like President Fulton was the one who brought her here." The assistant handed over the surveillance footage, clearly showing Grace entering Fulton Group with Xander. They were walking side by side, both carrying themselves in an elegant manner.
